Aaron is one of those rare ex Sea Org members who is taken responsibility for his own action. As a result his perspective is so much more valuable

Good for you, dude! I'm proud of you.

@midguardz This is the first time I've heard of bribe allegations. I know that I cannot stand in judgement of a person who was born into CoS; I've never had that experience. I don't like to judge. Aaron did contribute a LOT to the anti-Cos movement. I must be provided with solid evidence in regard you allegations before I can comment any further. I recently did exchange emails with Aaron, but they were short and to the point; Aaron cannot speak out either way.

@catcomplex I'd have to agree with ranter there as I also heard that Saxton took the bribe from the church to shut up and leave instead of stand up and fight the cause which is what he was preaching to the world when you recorded him. Why did you take a year to reply to ranters comment did you recently speak to Saxton and do you even know about this & what he is up to now behind the mask?

@uncreativeranterHi, I'm the interviewer in this recording. I think people (including Anonymous) need to be supportive of ex-CoS, and commend those ex-CoS for leaving, and especially support those who have the guts to speak out against Scientology.The night before this interview I spoke to Aaron, he was crying to me on the phone, I knew I was talking to a broken man. I think he's done a great deal in the cause against CoS. No way is he a bigger hypocrite than CoS! He's brave!

@fzappa007 Hi sorry about the "yep yep yep" it was very unprofessional of me - but at the time of recording I hadn't received any training! I did sometime after all this, and "YEP" the yepping is not good. It was an experienced I was offered so I jumped at it - no training at all! However, I'm glad I had the experience so I could do my part in the efforts against CoS.

[uncreativeranter]

why did Aaron Saxton take the bribe from the Cof$ & run like a coward & steal all out thousands of donations to help with teh court cases against abuse & this guy is an even bugger hypocrite than Cof$ where the fuck is he?? anyone no one answers, even anon protests have been dismantled. the Cof $ has won!

[fzappa007]

Im sorry, but its very difficult to concentrate on what Aaron is talking about when the woman broadcaster is constantly saying rep, yup ,yup, yep, yep yep and on and on. I totally support Aaron and all he is doing to combat the abuses of the Co$but damn this interview is a friggen bitch on my ears with the constant yepping sorry i just had to get it off my chest. yep righto mate!!

[philhellenes]

You is what you is. You are NOT what you were. That guy is dead. And you "killed" him. Well done. WELL played. The man who avoids the trap has been lucky. The man that falls in, all the way down, and crawls out is strong.

[maythefarcebewithyou]

Keep the truth coming and all the ex members should get together and have a royal commision into these crazy weirdo's the abuse has to stop and people should be free and not victimised if you want to leave, down with the "church"- dont let them keep going - everyone should get rid off the church and all their stupid principles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
