Tori, what do you think about the underground Scientology movement? They still hold on to everything that Hubbard said, they just want new managment.....so what are your thoughts on that?
Part of it is just how unrepentantly evil and abusive scientology is. I think better of myself for showing up to the austin protests than I do for finishing up my bachelors degree. Thats how disgusting they are.
One of my favorite parts in Part 3 is when Tommy Davis is trying to defend the newly edited and repackaged L Ron Hubbard books that Miscavige had done to be resold by force to members to "pump up revenue":
"Davis, the church spokesman, describes the reworked collection as a sensational development, a historic recovery of Hubbard's work comparable to the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls."
I wondered what had happened to Bob Minton and Stacey Brooks... they were AWESOME critics back in the day, then POOF... nothing more out of them. I wish they would speak again, now that the climate is so different to critics.
$cientology is the anti-Christian religion. They believe in no God, their 'ten commandments' are ripped off from Exodus. They are plagiarists of almost anything holy. This cult pulls people away from Christianity and screw most of them up emotionally.
At best they believe that the ultimately successful Scientologist is a "god", but, despite the obvious lie that "Scientology works WITH other religions" they most certainly are anti-Christian in that Hubbard said Christianity is based on someone "getting it wrong", and that Jesus himself had anger issues and was possibly gay or a pedophile...
plus, to keep these all grouped in a series of easy-links: TORY's VIDEO response to Part 1 of Expose: tiny(.)cc/Scientology9 TORY's VIDEO response to Part 2: tiny(.)cc/Scientology10 TORY's VIDEO response to Part 3: tiny(.)cc/Scientology11 XENU TV's video response to the St. Petersburg Times expose: tiny(.)cc/Scientology12 XENU TV video collection: tiny(.)cc/Scientology13
I've read the affidavit and interviews of Jesse Prince and he reveals the most amazing stuff, some of which is not all that disimilar to what we're hearing now. Can you recall what the effect of this exposure had on CofS at the time? Thanks!
I think it's impt that people be lead to the VIDEO LINKS, not just the articles. It's the extensive VIDEO INTERVIEWS that formed the background reporting on this story that make the expose AIRTIGHT. There is no way Amy Scobee is performing, or has an agenda. The reason I'm guessing 2 years is because it's clear to me they were going to take a huge shot with this, and thus they were going to make it airtight. So presenting it with VIDEOS as well is what is damning & incontrovertible. (SEE NEXT)
I have no idea what Flynn is doing these days, but I'd really like him to come back to the fight, but I figure he's gotta be pretty old these days and probably not up to it. But it'd like to see Flynn take on whatever he can, not just Scientology, he could fight the good cause against any injustice.
Im not surprised Hubbard wanted Werner Erhard dead when he saw him using scientology tech to manipulate and control others. Just think of all the money Est/ landmark education made should have gone to scientology.
This St Petersburg Times investigative series is extraordinary. I am betting it wins a Pulitzer prize. We haven't seen this kind of "old school" journalism in a long time.
Tory, what I want to know is: how OFF THE RADAR was this story while it was brewing? I am guessing this had to have taken two years to assemble, interview, fact check, authenticate, do investigative backgrounders, etc. So, did this expose take most CoS people totally by surprise? .. The video interviews are amazing.
I honestly don't know. I doubt if it took 2 years, but you may be correct. Per the story, they tried to interview Scientology---and ol Tommy has done a brilliant job of proving what they were talking about! Good job, TD! (great for us, seriously bad for Davey boy and gang).
So, it took YOU & your colleagues off guard too? .. ? Jason Beghe wrote in to St. Pete's Times after Part 1 was slammed by CoS on Mon. to refute their smear job of marty, making the argument "why would they send an incompetent person to go after Tom Cruise after he left?" and explains Cruise was not into Scientology for about 10 years. One of the links to that story (maybe it was in Village Voice) said that Jason had hinted that '2 days from now some real heavy shit is going to hit' .
I don't feel sorry for Tommy Davis. He's supporting the intense abuses of Davey boy and thus ensuring more and more people are harmed. He needs to WTFU and bail while he can, as is true of anyone lurking. The weather's just fine out here :) Did you *really* expect to follow a leader who beats people up?
Thanks to all here, and please pass on this link so fewer and fewer get suckered into Scientology, the phony "church".
I feel sorry for Tommy Davis. It's so obvious that the CoS has damaged him. If he hadn't been indoctrinated into serving the church, he may have been a successful actor and built on his family's show business heritage.
Woo hoo another video from my favorite SP lady. You rock sis.
Isn't the Tampa Bay story amazing? I hope it's the crack that causes the dam to burst. I wonder where pathological deception falls on the emotional tone scale? I wonder if DM "slappy" knows, or if he even cares?
Great video.
Glad you made it out.

Well said.
Michael Flynn was brilliant. He tipped off Werner Erhard that they were out to 'get' him... which maybe saved his life?
Those old videos of MF on XenuTV are amazing. What's he doing now? Hope he's OK.
