That is enbtirely correct. He borrowed from a lot of places and the SO in particular has a LOT of concepts and command principles taken directly from the US Navy and the British Royal Navy manuals. It is a mix of both, sprinkled with Hubbardese slang from his pre-SO dianetics era, so it is...

Interesting, so a case of mistaken identity?

I hate this guy. Way back when he was first identified, I posted in another ex-scn space, commenting that Perry is first and foremost a threat to his dog. That if he will keep teaching the dog to be agressive in public like that in LA, then sooner or later some two-bit hoodlum will shoot the...

Well at leats this guy was shouting: "It is a cult!" ... though he was shouting that at a lot of empty rooms. Good to know the CoS areas are as unlively as ever. Not many want to do that. But you know what are some things not many people want to do with a church? Take their tax exemmpt status...

That's a great take on it.

I'll just say that there was more info available to scientology than the property appraiser's website data. Thanks for sharing the video, I've seen the one from his phone before, but not the one from the CoS camera. Still not a battery to me. But it helped me to see how, if the jury might have...

I think I have enough street cred in the ex-scn community to be able to say that the Emperor is engaging in acts of indecent exposure. ... hopefully without being called an OSA agent. Anyway, here's my take on it: Pros: Brings attention to scientology. A few of those thousands of viewers of...

Addendum: just had another ex-scientologist message me (said person has actual legal experience and even did legal stuff back in CoS). And said person corrected me that he was not charged with trespassing, because the prosecution actually established he was not trespassing. The Judge even gave a...

I think he was standing in the doorway, while they shut the doors on him, which caused the whole hulabaloo. The way I seen it, he was just standing ther,e not trying to move inside, let alone force his way in. But apparently he did have his foot in the door. Which is why I think the real thing...

Yeah exactly. My opinion about all of this: - The battery charge was bogus to begin with. I've not seen anything other than incidental contact there and the state should be the one to prove that physical contact was deliberate. To me, it is obvious the contact was accidental and caused by him...

Scientology as a systemic pressure cooker Scientology does not generate an environment of fear, pressure and paranoia because such an environment is healthy or organizationally effective. It does so simply because this is the environment in which the scientology system already learned to...

I've harped on this many time sin my own posts. Scientology is built as a system of control over members. Hubbard, out of his own narcissism, paranoia and megalomania, added his "every change will be for the worse, It is all perfect now because I made it so" KSW spiel on top of it. That makes...

A cat is a large and dangerous animal. It can bite quite painfully. ... particularly if one happens to be a mouse.

I just had a discussion with a fellow ex-scientologist. While conversing with her and trying to put my thoughts into words, I think I ended up with a very succint summary of the differences between the two: Miscavige's goal is just to impose his will on other people. Hubbard's goal was to...

Just wanted to share a short exchange I had with anotehr ex-scientologist: Me: "Inside the CoS facts are defined as 'Whatever Hubbard's opinion was at the time he wrote it down" They: "Well, online in the non-cult world facts are defined as: 'Whatever opinion is most popular at the time'. Is...

Addendum: I should have made it more clear in my previous post (as well as that one) that I have NOT lived at the Mace-Kingsley ranch. I lived in the Anthony Building in LA. That's where me, my sister, Astra's sister Zoe, Conrad and a bunch of other kids lived. I *think* Astra also lived there...

I wasn't there when Astra was a little kid. But I was living there when her younger sister Zoe arrived. And I can vouch that every single thing Zoe said in that interview about living in the Anthony Building is 100% true and legit.

That's pretty crazy. Someone at the NAACP is gonna get their ass handed to them. I wonder if thisis really a victory for some safepointing OSA operation, with bribes, blackmail and shady favors in the background. That's how they did safepointing in Russia back in the day.

That makes a lot of sense.I mean my grandfather would probably think twice before joining scientology, had he known that Hubbard was guilty of stolen valor. My gramps was a member of ww2 vets organization, none of them had any idea that Hubbard was a Walt. None of this was information widely...

Having been someone whose dad left the family when I was 2 years old, I would end to agree. Then again, I was already born into the cult anyway. I'm thinking about the 1st gens who actually got themselves recruited... most actually had strong, dominating or violent parents. Some had abusive...
