SP Times Round Two Strength in their numbers: More Church of Scientology defectors step forward with accounts of abuse - St. Petersburg Times Read it and weep. until next time... BFG [Mod edit: DIGG IT: More Scientology Defectors Come Forward With Abuse Accounts --ARC]
Re: SP Times Round Two Wow, that Freedom Magazine special edition sure came out at a grand time, didn't it?
Re: SP Times Round Two I guess we know what the new tag line is: /r/ shoops of Tommy or Davey on the grassy knoll.
Re: SP Times Round Two BFG, do you know if Miscavige knew this article was coming and deliberately timed his extra-special edition of Freedom? Also, any truth to the rumor they've hired special PR people to advise them? 'Cause that just can't be true. And if it is, they're sure not getting their money's worth.
Re: SP Times Round Two Sweet. Except for the whole having to get up early to get copies of the SPTimes on Sunday thing. Ugh.
Re: SP Times Round Two Davis issues a new (recycled grassy knoll) response in the article, so they knew.
Re: SP Times Round Two They've had this ready for days, and were just waiting for the Freedom mag special edition. If anyone can, uh, corroborate that?
Re: SP Times Round Two Who knows, maybe the SPT knew that Davie's bumwad was coming out and had this return salvo ready?
Re: SP Times Round Two Thx! That doesn't totally mean they knew today was the day, but yeah, they knew something was coming soon.
Re: SP Times Round Two yep, the "shame circle" where people confess while others jeer is one of the most common traits of cults. DIGG More Scientology Defectors Come Forward With Abuse Accounts
Re: SP Times Round Two Oh fuck yes! God its beautiful... what perfect timing. BTW: Don't forget to check out the project page - http://www.tampabay.com/specials/2009/reports/project/ , they have more videos and pages up, including a short response to the Freedom mag.
Re: SP Times Round Two TG, Tommy Davis is back and there's still no such thing as ahh ahhhss asz as disconnection. I believe you, Tommy...please tell us more....about the grassy knoll of the internet.......and ranting anti-scientologists......... nice rant, Tommy, rant on........by all means....
Re: SP Times Round Two Copies of this and the previous articles should be sent to your congressmen and women, along with a copy of the scilons response magazine. I know that's what I'm going to do.
Re: SP Times Round Two I think the SP Times kept their article in preparation for a Miscavige-footbullet like his prized Freedom Mag.
Re: SP Times Round Two Ever notice that ALL defectors have the same stories, time and time again for years and Scientology denounces anyone who leaves and tells the truth. These "defectors" have given many, many years of incredibly devoted service, leave because of the abuses they have witnessed and in many case received only to immediately be chastised by these abusive, hypocritical fucks in leadership positons of this alleged church who need to be stopped. As if David Miscavige, this abusive punk is a world religious leader? Are you shitting me? He belongs in jail.
Re: SP Times Round Two Very nice article indeed - hope they keep them coming. Well, I guess we know what next months issue of "Freedom" magazine is going to deal with. lol
St Petersburg Times does it again Well, here it is again. They've written up a whole new article and posted four more video interview series. Enjoy! Strength in their numbers: More Church of Scientology defectors come forward with accounts of abuse - St. Petersburg Times
Re: St Petersburg Times does it again blownforgood beat ya to it by more than an hour..nice try though
Re: SP Times Round Two I'm still suspicious about the coup attempt. Yes, yes, labor abuses, DM is a horrible person. What about those mysterious deaths, working hard to defraud the government, and all of the other illegal practices in Scientology? "And BTW, the whole auditing thing is bullshit and this religion is a sham." NOBODY'S said that and made the SP times, whereas less famous ex-Scilons are willing to.
Re: SP Times Round Two It is to you and I and many here but clearly not to enough people in this country and others that David Miscavige is to this day still getting away with this shit. It's an overwheliming case against Scientology yet it doesn't get prosecuted. There are new people checking this site all the time and the more information the public has the better.
Re: SP Times Round Two As much as I would like for these things to see their day in court the statute of limitations has expired on all criminal activity claimed in the article.
Re: SP Times Round Two "It is clear that these new 'accounts' were stirred up by your recent articles," Davis said in a written statement, "and are nothing more than the ranting of anti-Scientologists on the grassy knoll of the Internet corroborating each other."-Tommy Davis No shit Tommy. When you hurt someone badly and make them fear you, it takes courage to speak. And what you are seeing is courage in action. Courage these people got because your former top members decided to speak out. You are a fool to call their stories rantings. What do you call LRH's collective works... other than... rantings? Rantings that were so bad you had to edit them later and blame the fucking typist (as if Hubbard in his obsession for his way wouldn't make them normal again). Books, that were spoken by the mania-driven mad man, with no research David and Tommy. And yet you discredit people by calling your enemies mentally ill or merchants of chaos when your own group creates propaganda pieces of slander that reads like it written by a mania-driven nutbag who was up for 3 days straight. You are not just pathetic Scilons, but you personally give me a deep respect for Darwinism in life.
