Yes, thanks for sharing that, Coop. Amazing that when they label someone as “disaffected,” their first step is to pull them in and ask who they’ve been talking to, and what they are reading on the internet. The truth of the matter is it was their own overt of lying to the wife unbeknownst to you so as to get her to do the very thing you told them in no uncertain terms NOT to do. The church only has to look in the mirror to see who is to blame for a person becoming “disaffected.” I hope people are coming out faster and faster and that the church goes down soon. Then families can be patched together again and life, real life, will go on in ,many good ways.

Claire, I am ROFL!!!!

Aquamarine and MJ you’re are so right! Don’t give them anything! If you give any reason, any justification, any anything, they use it to go in on the “handle” to get you to do what they want. It’s all manipulation. So give nothing. Say nothing. Then there is nothing they can grab onto. I say Well Done to the 97% who aren’t responding. Now walk across the street to the sunny side of the street!

“and another one bites the dust!”

Wow, excellent post, Mike. I am amazed at the foot bullets that come out of the church. To admit that the OT VII’s and VIII’s are not responding to the emails and push and that only 50 out of 700 have confirmed????!!!! That is some major leakage of truth/bad news (for them) and some major OUT PR for the church! Someone is going to the Hole for that one! But it is encouraging news for us on the fringes. It means 97% of the OT’s are staying away or are trying to stay away. It hints of UTR’s and quiet resistance. It really must suck to be Davie.

Is this an organic thing they work out themselves, or is there an underground resistance movement where they tell each other the tricks to avoid these harrassing missives?

Somebody mentioned the speed at which the Berlin Wall came down and it reminded me of another analogy from that era which is applicable and I wanted to share. Concurrent to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Republican warmongers of that era (post Vietnam Reagan) were as bad as DM in spewing false propaganda and lies. The same kind (same?) folks who got on TV and told us exactly where to find the hidden Iraqi WMD’s (east, south, west and slightly north of Baghdad….lol) were telling us how overbuilt the Russian army was. Turns out the entirety of the Russian defense establishment had been in shambles and decay for years despite what we were all being told. Sorta like DM and his constant “Isn’t everything lovely” crap isn’t it? So I second the notion that Scientology is likely to soon come to a “Berlin Wall” moment based on the parallelism of the false Cold War rhetoric not conforming to the ‘reality on the ground’. There is no statute of limitations on war crimes. Just an O/T reminder to help keep Mormons and Republicans nervous. Enjoy.

it’s still not working right, at least not for me. i’m pretty sure it is not on my side.

i’m not familiar with wordpress blogware, perhaps someone here does and can offer some suggestions, but it might have something to do with wordpress displaying a cache rather than checking for updates to the pages.

you can ask around wordpress’ forums, someone there will likely be able to help.

The SO has a BIG BEING contest going on. The game goes like this: The biggest beings get their stats up the highest for the longest periods of time, with the LEAST amount of training and processing under their belts. It’s like winning with a handicap. The bigger the handicap, the bigger the win.
