Hi Sterling,
I don’t participate anymore on this MB turned into a far right Trump board…
But listened to these interviews of yours.
Very insightful.
thank you for sharing these stories and will stay tuned for some more.
@1;15m
my 2 cents from my own experience:
IMO, it’s the confusion and the dehumanization they enforce in our mind and soul, intented to make one looses her/his self determinism and some sense of dignity. (Soul rape as we are left with shame and confusion) Best way to have them fall into obedience with implanting trauma bonds. The soul is loosing the sense of feeling safe.
LRH did that,
Miscavige is doing that,
Rapist do that
And dictators and authoritarians …
Dehumanization!
They are small empty dark soul, fearfull of good , talented, capable, people…
again, thank you
You are wise and clever, and a stronger being; one day, you will recover these lost parts that inhabit your shadow self.![]()

I am glad to hear that. I will take all you said in consideration and I am sorry I may have put my foot in my mouth again on some topics or people.
This thread is a microcosm of the current planetary (sorry) scene. It seems there is an ingredient in the mix that never used to be included in the recipe, so to speak. Now, differing opinions cannot be tolerated. What is it, without making the other guy wrong?
I believe that was Sheila, or maybe "Just_Sheila" (?), before the name change. Near as I could figure out, while I was away she got into an exchange about Covid with another member whose name escapes me (he used a dog wearing a hat as an avatar) and made some remarks which could be construed as rather insulting. I figure that got her banned but she rejoined with a different moniker. The other member also disappeared after that.I was looking to find the poster who's name escapes me that posted her house renovations thread - she was very upset by the negativity. She's now referred to as deleted member 51. Did she change her name to that? Does that mean there has been 50 before her that have been deleted?

Yeah, something very dramatically changed. . .
Here's my theory.
Modern day social interaction in 2023 is often kind of like the mockumentary "THIS IS SPINAL TAP".
But, instead, radically indoctrinated people's amplifiers only have two settings.
Either "OFF" or (when you turn the amp on) "11".

(nothing in between)
That's where the strident yelling and name-calling comes in (i.e. volume at "11"). And when that doesn't defeat the "enemy" (by convincing them or making them STFU)— the indignantly enraged party simply and immediately refuses to converse more and angrily storms away from the discussion ("OFF").

I don't know the significance of the "51" in the name.
Oh, didn't know that Sheila left because of a conflict on a covid discussion. She is a cool contributor who always had a fresh voice and valued contributions.
Hey for volatile threads (e.g. POLITICS, COVID, GUN CONTROL, etc) there should probably be a 30 page long legal "Risk Disclosure Notifications" contract that ESMB members must execute before they are allowed to venture onto those discussion threads! LOL
Those kind of conversations/debates can turn diabolically ugly fast! But they seem so much fun before diving in! LOL.
Kind of like a young kid seeing an ARMY RECRUITMENT ADVERTISEMENT and enlisting. A short time later they are in Vietnam or Afghanistan ---inside a military hospital recovering from having a leg and an arm blown off from a landmine. Ergo, not really so much fun when you actually arrive at the body-strewn battlefield that the tv commercial didn't include.
