Basically, Bijou had her daughter have a first communion ceremony (a sort of 'coming of age' catholic religious ceremony for a lack of a better description). This was also filmed and Bijou put it online. And Aaron showed a part of that recording. Communion is a catholic sacrament, a per...

First of all, I agree with Aaron: This evidence means that she and her daughter are out of scientology. It is anyone's guess how long had she had already been out. Maybe she was 'physically in, mentally out' for a long time and just kept up appearances for Danny's sake or to keep the marriage...

Well, I have no direct knowledge how Miscavige and his inner circle worked. But I strongly suspect it was not all that different from what we had in the CLO.. I doubt that it was all integrated into one single computer system in 2007. There was the central archives. Then OSA archives. Then all...

I guess that would all depend on witness availability. I can come up with at least a few people who left and were kids in California in the late 80s andearly 90s and who could now try to sue. Thing is, I'm afraid they would meet a chorus of still-in 'witnesses' who would all testify that nothing...

If Albuquerque won the birthday game, then I guess anything is possible.

They would put the info on a computer at that time (late 2000s). What they normally would not do is to allow people with thumb-drives. They would also have all the usb ports 'locked' so that even if you had a flash drive or a portable device, it would not allow you to establish a connection.. I...

Rest assured: You and me both! EDIT: I believe our former colleagues from OSA as well as high-powered external lawyers might be a part of this puzzle.

"New OT IX and X are closer than you think!" - remember that line? Closer my ass.

Not to me. Perhaps the fact that is was a thumb drive with actual chirch-produced documents was somewhat new. But at least since early 2019 I had known that Mike gave a lot of info to the FBI (apparently nothing more came out of it). So while some of the details were new, the grand scheme of...

'Get on the level'? Come to think of it, it might be a PAC or California slang. I guess most english language users would say: "Just wait till you reach the next OT level" or something like that. But I guess we californians just abbreviate everything and try to do everything too fast. ;)

That's just the intro theetie-weetie stuff But just wait till you get on the next level, that's where the fun begins. I can't tell you what goes on there, it is highly confidential. But just wait till you get on the level. :D

Looking at the few know facts, It did feel like starting an INV case with establishing initial possible scenarios of how this came about. Obviously, I lack the tools to interrogate the relevant people and find out who is the accountable unit ;) Thanks! I looked at Mike's commeents under this...

That's what Aaron insinuated, however it is pure speculation. Nobody knows what Mike and Marci talked about, except themselves. I don't remember Aaron or (anyone else for that matter) making this a big issue in any of their videos etc. So at best a case of the kettle calling the pot a certain...

Unless you know how to lie on the meter and keep your thoughts to yourself. There's more people who can lie well on the meter than the cult would want people to believe.

I'm gonna wait and see where this goes. But my initial impression is that might really be a conspiracy to get Mike Rinder thrown out from the board of child USA. That's just my initial impression gut-feeling kind of thing. I have no insider info whatsoever. Also, my initial gut-feeling is...

To me that's a red flag. Putting everyone who disagrees into some sort of label like: "cucks" or "brainwashed zombie atheists", "bitter and defrocked apostates" and now "flying monkeys". I'm not saying Aaron is always right and I'm not saying people have to like him. But this sort of sweeping...

Oh thanks for clarifying! I too thought you were saying that I'm being 'passive-agressive' and that I am justifying it by stating taht it was tongue-in-cheek. Glad we had that misunderstanding solved! :)

Love the way you abbreviated it. True, although I think that last part has a generational component there as well. Most of the never-ins intereste din the subject tend to be on the younger side, so they find it easier to connect with second-gens who tend to be of a similar age.

Well, I have said it with a wink and a smile, or alternatively I could have been 'active agressive' and say: "Yo, stop going off topic and take that stuff to the politics thread thank-you-very-much". There was really no other or better way to say it. I think I chose the less hostile option. :D

I mena it tongue in cheek mostly. But yeah, we have a whole "US poilitics" and "Geopolitics" and "War in Ukraine" threads for that. We have other places to discuss political stuff unrelated to scientology, all I'm saying.
