Hi Terrill
For some reason you seem to bring out the worst in me - I have no idea why I seem to lose my manners whenever I get to respond to your posts, but I do.
No worries mate.
[ shit! I've got an aussie valence sticking its neck out]
Like most Scientologists and Proto-Scientologists and Wannabe-Scientologists you are prone to mistaking words for action. You are also prone to mistaking "having spoken" to "having done something."
I am primarily looking at things with a PR perspective which is very appropriate re COS. Speaking is an action, and as the saying goes, "the
pen is mightier than the sword". Even some european governments
have spoken. In their case they have the resources of the police and
courts etc as back up.
Personally I dislike someone who in the guise of "helping" is just bent on continuing the same exploitation that the person already went through. I mean take a look at Logan on that blog. there's a guy who has suffered in the SO and now Rathbun is still keeping the whole mindfuck going for the guy. I mean - just look at the hateful drivel that Logan posts - I doubt that he even has enough self awareness to realize.
I knew Jim since before Marty started his blog. They've reconciled and are friends. Jim is very much a hardline KSW zealot. Marty less so. See his
thoughts on changing upper level approaches. Your slant on their relationship
is quite wrong IMO. They are both self determindly doing what they want to do.
Marty seems to know - and I am surprised that you do not - that words in TV documentaries do not make that much difference to the CofS, Scientologists are not going to "know" anything based on what Sweeney might say.
I completely disagree with you here. One program whose back story
and personel I knew very well was the " Beginners guide to L Ron Hubbard."
This didn't even attack DM, yet enormous efforts were made to get it stopped. OSA visited the "mentor" 4-5 times a day, threatening him, for a month including sending people from LA. Thats merely one facet of attempts to stop it .
So Marty makes his vague accusations without actually saying anything and he and Rinder score some points regarding disconnection. IN the meantime where is the support for criminal indictments? THOSE MATTER, not the fucking PR.
Multiple people stating on video and the press that DM physically assaults
people, and Marty admitting complicity are not vague accusations.
I hope further support for criminal indictments occur. The wheels of justice turn slow. Note that the cases of human trafficking directed at RTC and DM are still to come in Mark Headleys case next november. Marty would be foolish to pre-empt matters. There is also a similar case coming up with the son of one of Marty's friends.
They have both gone out of their way to avoid this.
And THAT speaks volumes Terill.
Open your ears. This guys is not your friend.
Looks like he has succeeding in doing something I've tried to
do and failed. Looks like he and Sweeney will expose, on Panorama the
hypocracy of COS's claims to support freedom of religion, when in reality
they come and threaten my Freezone friends with lawsuits, because
they follow their religion, philosophy and tech outside COS.
