Wedding Photos

June 23, 2013 By Mike Rinder 61 Comments

Here are some photos taken by our good friend Terry Brawley. He is not just a talented stained glass artist and wildlife guide and kayak explorer, he is also a great photographer. He is one of many we have to thank for making this such a wonderful day.

    So happy to see you happy, Mr. Rinder! I have a very strong feeling that you are totally there on your own determinism, as opposed to situation of the years prior to 2007. (tongue in cheek) Who wouldn’t be? What a lovely family. Smiling with you. Indie8Million

    Mike, again Thank you for more pictures and for letting strangers like me have a view of a Very Happy day for all.

    You are truly a Stand-Up guy open and honest with your short bio. As well as the great stories on what’s going on by someone who would really know what is what. I’ve read your postings for quite some time watched your television interviews. You an Marty at the dock fishing the two of you were in good spirits. I thought the utube video was quite entertaining even though some of the times must have been difficult, you just have a Great outlook on life.

    Yes I’ve said it once already however I’ll hope/write out loud once more that maybe in the future you will consider putting your gift of gab, knowledge and story telling into a book format.

    Think of it you are an inspirational human being with a Great story to yet be told when you feel the time is right. It doesn’t have to deal with religion unless you choose to incorporate that into your tale whatever you write I’m sure others will find a great story. Your childhood in Australia, jaunts across the globe your over coming all obstacles, the stories seem to just have limitless potential.

    Your former job tells me that there is a story teller inside you and that your writing on any subject could be quite engaging and entertaining more so than your posts if you so desire. As you effortlessly impart a little wisdom along the way. I think for some it just comes naturally for some writing is a gift from birth I believe you have that gift.

    I think those that would read your words would find hope, happiness, strength and wisdom along with comfort with what you may decide to write should the time come.

    Christie looked radiant in the photographs I’m a photographer myself so I really enjoyed looking at the pictures you so graciously posted. Jack is a good strong name having you as a Father will be a treat for the young lad along with his beautiful Mother, yes it’s getting better everyday.

    So in closing I do apologize for imposing I’m quite sure it was a Spectacular Day:)

    Best Wishes

    .Beautiful pics of a beautiful day, Mike. Beautiful wife. Beautiful Kids. This is how it should have been, all along, right? The past is behind you now, and you are free to get on with creating some REAL flourishing and prospering for yourselves. BTW, thank you for being a shining example, of just HOW to straighten one’s life out, after the madness of the cult of CO$, with your irrepressible sense of humor intact! (I’m sure it must have helped, to keep everything in balanced perspective, hey?) .

    Very nice pictures. It was a very smart decision indeed to leave the insanity of the Int Base 6 years ago, and start a new life. A night and day contrast. The ultimate revenge is to live well, and that certainly seems to be what’s happening. Flourish and prosper.

    MIke, I don’t know you, I’ve never been in Scientology, but I’ve followed your transition to “civilian” status through the media. You have an exceedingly beautiful wife, and what looks from here to be a fine, satisfying life these days. Sincere congratulations to you and Christie, and best wishes for even greater successes in the future.

Important Quotes

If the org slumps during this transition period, don't engage in "fund raising" or "selling postcards" or borrowing money. Just make more income with Scientology. L Ron Hubbard From HCOPL URGENT ORG PROGRAMMING
"We own a tremendous amount of property. We own a tremendous amount of material and so forth, and it keeps growing. But that’s not important. When buildings get important to us, for God sakes, some of you born revolutionists will you please blow up central headquarters". L Ron Hubbard Lecture 31 Dec 1960
"Personal integrity is knowing what you know. What you know is what you know and to have the courage to know and say what you have observed".- LRH from Personal Integrity
"It is necessary to happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists of professing to believe what he does not believe." Thomas Paine
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” - Martin Luther King
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” - Martin Luther King
“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
“Communication is the universal solvent” - L Ron Hubbard
“When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.” Thomas Paine
"Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth." William Faulkner
"The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis." Dalai Lama
