Amended: Archived ESMB Forums are now available.

Look at post #6 in this thread. It is from the owner of the original ESMB, Emma. She says it is down for repairs. That was on December 8 2021 - just 3 weeks ago. It is not down again - it is still down.
It's is gone. Not able to find it anywhere.
Did Erma go back into Scientology and as part of the Ethics cycle amends, had to take it down?

Not deleted - jeez. The board is just closed for repairs.


"Back up soon in archive mode. Love to you all. "

I'd seriously doubt Emma going back to Scientology. But stranger things have happened. But as you can see she is posting on this forum as well. So you can ask her yourself. :)

I was disabused of that a long time ago after watching Marty Rathbun
and then there was Ginger Sugerman, who was shot by her husband, Arnie Lerma :omg:

Never underestimate the power of the cult's money and ability to shatter families
Scientology has been destroying families for almost 70 years

Yes... but as you can se, the website front end is still there, and so is the user accounts and login functionality, so the site is not "down" as such.

And the owner of it has stated that it is not deleted but down for repairs. :confused:

Not that I have any insights into Emmas life, but I suspect she has other priorities then fixing ESMB, like, Christmas, New Years Eve and real life.

There were those that defended Marty Rathbun too
Does not matter to me either way
People get hard up for money and are lured back into the cult
the cult has a history of getting those that put out the truth of Scientology to later change the truth with lies in exchange for money
Vicky Aznaran
Marty Rathbun
are the two main ones I can think of right now
It is all part of Being a Scientologist or Ex Scientologist and I will never be shocked again after watching what Marty Rathbun did

Nice deflection but the board is still down for repairs
Repairs to a board that is never used
Did someone mirror it anywhere or was that disabled when it was shut down for repairs
:whistle:
 
Lots of good data and threads on the old board. I think having a good backup/archive of it would be valuable. I'm sure it will be back up soon.

Through no real fault of his own, Arnaldo Lerma (who was suffering from years of intolerable back pain from an old injury) became an oxycodone (a powerful opioid pain killer) abuser. There are extreme mental health issues associated with long term opioid abuse and addiction to which Mr. Lerma clearly fell prey. Ms. Sugerman herself pointed this out in public statements after the failed murder attempt.

Cult Scientology didn't make Arnie into an opioid addict - or a murderer.
 
I'm wondering if there is a financial angle.
You know its costly to have a forum hosted by a 3rd party.
There is no freebie to have a site hosted.
This original ESMB is costing Emma hosting fees.
Emma does not do any fund raising to support this
I would be willing to contribute to funds needed.
Earlier I was accused of contributing to the former ESMB financially for favors.
Hogwash.
Unsavory ALANZO was the source of that.
I will contribute for the old forum hosting fees where clearly there are no favors
to be gotten.
I do it because there is VALUE to these forums and a wealth of data for all.

you missed my point...
After she was shot in the face by Mr Arnie Lerma....Mrs Arnie Lerma went back INTO the cult of Scientology and disconnected from ex scientologists but Scientology would not have her back so she betrayed friends who trusted her to go back into the very thing that shattered her family more than once
That is what I am referring to.
Arnie Lerma no doubt had his issues but he was fair gamed by Scientology hard and for a long time
That did irrepable damage to the poor guy
he did a lot of good exposing the cult of Scientology though
I liked him
 
That guy never said a word of truth in his life.
I agree with you
the alanzo character is a nut bag, a known liar
I believe he went back into Scientology and is getting paid to do his dirty deeds to confuse ex cult members about scientology

Never said a word of truth? Really??
Nothing he said was the truth - all lies????

What lies did Arnie Lerma tell?
I thought he did an excellent job of exposing the con of Scientology.


Can you list specifically the lies you refer to?
Dude, sorry to be blunt but... go read my post again. Do you see me mention Lerma anywhere in that post?
That's about Alanzo, not Lerma. Two entirely different people.

No problem, happens no hard feelings.

I do not have any strong opinions about Arnie Lerma, because I never really got to know him all that well.
