Missing family in Scientology? Check out these new photos for your loved ones

It’s happened enough times over the years that it’s something we try not to forget: When we post Scientology’s photos of Sea Org members, it can help a family get some information about a missing loved one.

There was the time, for example, that one of our readers recognized her father she hadn’t seen in seven years in a photo from the Valley Ideal Org. And we certainly remember when Kate Bornstein got her first glimpse in decades of a daughter who had turned up in a story here.

So, keeping that in mind, we noticed that some very detailed photos of Ideal Org staffs were included in the slide show from the L. Ron Hubbard Birthday Celebration that took place in March in Clearwater, Florida. The big news from that slide show was that for the second year in a row, actress and lifelong Scientologist Elisabeth Moss could be seen in the front row, giving church leader David Miscavige a standing ovation.

But also, as part of his hours-long speech, Miscavige continues to insist that his brainstorm about sending org staffs to Flag for special “admin” training is going to finally solve the problem with Ideal Orgs, which have never produced the boom in interest in Scientology that Miscavige promised.

“After unveiling the off-the-charts results from the first 12 Organizations to implement this program, Mr. Miscavige introduced new teams that recently graduated and returned to their Ideal Orgs in North America, Europe and Asia,” says the press release about the event.

Geeze, looking at the NYC photo, two thoughts, the first being, "Who looks at that polished, slickly produced and postured promotional image and sees their emotional or spiritual salvation?", and, "Geeze Gerry Indursky, you were there on staff when I came onto the scene in 1978 and joined you on staff in 1979, and in all this time, you're still there in it, you haven't let this personal phase complete itself, get out of it all and live?" Wow, it seems strange, bizarre and sad.

Jerry Indursky is a case history in the Ls materials, we all had to study diligently.

Hubbard C/Sed him and then Jerry got declared.
Whereupon he was willing to do anything and everything to get back in and have the SP declare removed.

You get that kind of persona. Painful incredulity.

Wow. I knew him pretty well, worked with him in div 6, even worked for his business for a little while, this had to be before that happened. He became ED, wasn't horrible, but didn't have your back either. He was rarely very present, very submerged behind his subdued facade. Knowing much about L's processes (I got the materials about 15 years ago), I could see how they could just plow him in further. His wife Debbie was senior C/S, not especially astute, and she loved to talk about how "flubby" others were. Twice an RTC mission fired into our org just to tell her to get off my case (I was lead HGC auditor) and stop coming up with bullshit justifications for trying to suspend my certs and things like that, and I remember having a discussion with the guy who had been the "Qual Exec Int" back then, relating to me how "Debbie Indursky was a problem". Now I'm remembering her telling a story of how her sister and brother in law were murdered, and her disembodied sister wanted her to adopt her children (Debbie's nephews/nieces), and Debbie's expressing how annoyed she was by that, and wouldn't do it. She was kinda the ultimate Jewish American princess/Scientologist (But then, who are we to judge "the most ethical group on the planet").

Jerry Indursky had Ls in 1970/71, C/Sed exclusively by Hubbard as it was beta testing (experimental) at the time.

Oh my mistake then, that was several years before I first encountered Jerry. He had to have been quite young then, early 20's at most. And here it is over 50 years later, and he remains stuck there. I know we all had that expectation at one time, but wow. An entire life lost in the Scientology matrix, the rest of the world being a dim, warped guided projection. I guess that counts as "mission accomplished" for the L's (although I know a close personal story or two about having been disastrously run into the ground with something like 100 hours of badly grinding Flag L's auditing in the 2000's).
