CHARGES? They don’t need no stinking charges. All
the need is a rope.

Thank you , Jere.
Every day that I breathe air is a F.U. to the Freewinds after I was close to Death from having HIV AIDS and no treatment for 13 years on the ship.
I have heart failure and a pacemaker/defibrillator in my chest as my heart’s electrical system was destroyed by 13 years of untreated HIV.
The current stat is 10-15 years from infection with HIV to death from full blown AIDS when untreated as mine was.
About 2 months ago I happened to be in a hospitals Emergency Room when my Defib fired for the 1st time sending 840 volts through my heart. I was standing next to a gurney and so thought I had better lie down on it. The schocks continued. After the 3rd one I was screaming at the E/R doctors to “Turn this fucking thing off and let me die”. I got 20 schocks, the last 3 being at 890 volts.
When the schocks stopped for about 30 seconds I was relieved, thinking that I was dead.
Last week a pacemaker doctor examined me and downloaded the data from the pacemaker into his laptop.
He stated that in 35 years working in this field that he has only seen 2 or 3 people get that many schocks. I thought that “No, he must have seen more than that.
Then I realized that he was only counting those patients that were left Alive.
You see, to know how many shocks were given, you have to connect the pacemaker to a computer to get the data.
But there is no point if the patient has been already pronounced DEAD.
I just read online that a person getting say 10 schocks has only a 5 percent chance of survival.
Without the shocks the odds of survival are 0 percent. As my heart was no longer pumping I could have been technically pronounced dead before my heart got going again. All they had to do was to pull the sheet over my face. I was conscious the whole time. It must have been similar to “Riding the lightning” sitting in “Old Sparkey”.
The medical care was good, though the 2 E/R doctors didn’t really do anything. They did tell me to “relax” a few times when my body flew a few inches into the air several times from the electricity. One was telling me You’re OK. I know of no-one likely to “Relax” with 900 volts ripping through his chest and I don’t know how the doctor thought that I was “OK” when I was clearly in cardiac arrest and it took another 17 schocks to get my heart going again.

Dear Jere:
I wrote the complete truth which is much worse than nattering or J and D. If one is merely nattering what he says can be discarded. But if it the truth and is backed up by overwhelming evidence, all they could do was declare me so that no one would hear the truth.

Jere. Lol. Sorry for answering late. It was meant sarcastically that Hco would have issued something on them declaring their condition with the cult (like catholic church gives labels to specific people who did good things before be declared saints) but also shooting cannon balls to the guy swimming home. Do well.

Oh yeah, I get that it’s all BS, I was being kind of sarcastic but also wondering why they’d have them wear masks in a photo when you’d think they’d want to uphold their image that they don’t ever get sick.

FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT

Thats the truth. And we have freedom of religion in spite of Mike!

AND HIS EVIL INTENTIONS

Oh sorry. Didn’t realize this comment was directed to me. I don’t normally ignore people. Glad you escaped Scientology.

I hope you bother to read some works by people who actually thought critically enough to seek out God though He says He is not far from each one of us.

Don’t let anyone cast false burdens of proof on you that didn’t bother to seek themselves because these people usually never sought but like to reserve the right to judge proof for themselves when the truth is judging evidence always has a subjective quality. All people judge for themselves and what one person considers evidence another won’t. Plus they could have already rigged the game to deny all the evidence no matter what you bring because they’re in a state known as rebellion to God.

So seek and think critically for yourself. Don’t fall for other people’s pat answers without really weighing them. Lee Strobel did an amazing seeking job when he journalistically investigated for his book The Case for Christ. I especially liked that medical evidence chapter and the probability one.

Taking off now as I learned more than enough about Scientology. I always knew not to fall for any cult no matter what any man says because the only one worth following spiritually really is Jesus.

Shalom!

There is one important thing to keep in mind about this cult. It is timeless.

The founder decreed that he laid down the precepts in written form and they must never be changed.

IMO, this is one of the most interesting and most laughable things about this stupid cult – built-in obsolescence. During the past decade or two, there have been incredible advances in technology – like the Internet. But because of the terrible lack of foresight of the founder of this cult, it can never incorporate those advances. This cult must operate as if the Internet does not exist and has never existed. That is enough to doom this cult to forever be a laughing stock and to act like a house of cards that is crumbling into dust.

It is to laugh. For the many people who despise this criminal enterprise, this is one of the greatest sources of entertainment about it. The leaders of this cult do whatever they want and get away with terrible crimes. But for some reason – and thank goodness for that – this cult refuses to do anything more about recent technological advancements but just to bury their heads in the sand and never do anything else. IMO, this one act of stupidity sentences this cult to impending doom. I hope that everyone here will get as big a kick out of that as I do. I find it incredibly hilarious and completely well deserved.

No worries. There’s no story, but my dad was a Christian church board member and traveled alot in the 79s and 80s…apparently he knew enough about Hubbard and his teachings to be very protective of us where that was concerned.
