All hail the IAS and all the good work it does. What 'work' does the IAS actually do? It hires Private Investigators to harass exs and anyone who disrespects the Clampire. How many cats and dogs have been offed to further that aim? There is so much actual, social good that could have resulted from that money, but no, let's kill some pets and sift through some trash.

I recognize the names two of the big donors Kurt Listug(CEO of Taylor Guitars). I sold my Taylor once I left Scientology. And Norm Novitsky. I knew him from his failed film producer days. The hubris was tangible in those whales when I knew them. Most likely now it is stronger than ever. One thing that is noticeable even with the low resolution photos is the vacant and/or crazy look in the whales eyes.

Genuine dedicated brainwashed minions. Such wasted lives.

I recognized only a couple of names. The donor list in the past were pages long. I am happy to not see my friends and family donating. And just like that, the cult came tumbling down…

Cindy, I’m happy to see that too. We just keep shouting from the rooftops:

Scientology is a scam; and here’s the proof.

"These were the really big leviathans like Trish Duggan, who has given something nearing half a billion in donations." <-- All of the good that money COULD have done wasted...

Also, is there a Scientology cruise trip (like a 'vacation' type thing) or were a bunch of those people photographed on one of the CoS ships?

I know. Every time I see these, I think about all of the actual real things that could be changed and people who could be helped. I wish they knew what they are really funding.

I was involved in Scientology from 1981 to 1988 before the beginning of the internet. With all of the exposure about Scientology that the internet has provided, it's unbelievable that anyone would still be involved. It's pathetic that these whales are donating millions of dollars to a mind controlling and money- making cult. I've realized that a person may be smart and knowledgeable in business but can still be a fool in other areas of life. Gambling and being involved in Scientology are two of the best examples of a fool and his money going separate ways.

Just think what all that money could be doing to help humanity instead of going into the coffers. In this day and age with the internet at one's fingertips, it amazes me people are still brainwashed into giving their money away and continuing to participate in a corrupt institution.

Cue takedown notice in 3, 2, 1. Glad people are restacking this. Hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube, OSA. If you are so ashamed of having the names of the people you grift from made public, perhaps you could quit publishing them. Or better yet, quit forcing people to “donate” themselves into bankruptcy.

I hate seeing families with kids in these lists. Here’s hoping at least some of them can break free. Even Scientology can’t keep teenagers off the Internet.
