I’ve never understood why the secretive locations only seem to be kept from Scientologists, but nobody else.

They don’t trust their members?

ETA: from when I was 2 1/2 to about 11, my mom moved posts around so much in the Sea Org.

Part of that time she was in Exec Strata (Mr. Hines spoke about it in yesterdays post), which meant she was up at Int. They literally would not tell me ever where my mom was. Especially when she was at Int base.

Scientology is absurd.

I wish there were a laughing emoji. You are so right about this. It was in the newspaper for goodness sake.

All that secrecy, all that becoming like El Rhum Flubbard (mentally ill, that is), just for increasing the pile of money in off-shore accounts controlled by defendant David “he is NOT insane!” Miscavige. I’m glad people are leaving and re-connecting with old friends and doing their own thing.

Back when I was drinking the Kool Aide. I traveled by car for my job. I had to go to Hemet, a place I'd never been before. So this was pre-cell phone and I did not have a Thomas Guide Map for that area. I had just written down the directions from someone at work who somehow looked it up. I got lost in the unfamiliar area. As I drove trying to find my way I saw a really unique house / building with a huge veggie garden across from it on what used to be a golf course. I was struck by how unique and cool the building looked. It seemed like a Disney Snow White house in the middle of nowhere. Really cute and painted so nice etc. And then I saw the iconic S and Double Triangles on it. So I knew whatever the building was, it was Scientology. So being young and naive, I went right up to the gate and rang the intercom bell. A gruff voice came on and I gushed at how pretty the building was and that I was a Scientologist and I'd love to get a tour etc. The person was very rude and told me to go away, no tour, and don't tell anyone what you saw and not to talk about it and to beat it. I couldn't believe the SO could be that rude to me, a good upstanding Scn and auditor. I found out later that was Gold, commonly called Int and that I wasn't supposed to know where it was. Secrecy. Also decades later I was visiting a friend who lived somewhat near Yosemite, and he took m e to show me the CST building there, which again, was a secret.

Cindy Plahuta for the win. Why don't judges see the writing on the wall and see $cieno 'arbitration' for what it is? Now Cindy has to deal with disconnection from a child and the Clampire moves on to more 'fund raising' and Private Investigator hiring. If ARC is so great, why is there disconnection? I'd be baffled, but for the meme, 'it works as intended'.

PS I joined Cindy Plahuta's cooking channel to help. Plus I like to cook. But she calls it "Cici's" something or other., There is a commenter who signs her stuf "Cici". It this Cindy Plahuta? I always thought Cici was someone else, an ex SO from ASHO. Is it really Cindy Plahuta?

Hi Cindy! My cooking channel is https://www.youtube.com/@CiCisComfortCooking. It's me, I am called CiCi by my nearest and dearest. Thank you for joining and supporting me. It has been a very nice day to see that some people have subscribed to my new creation. I love to cook so this is a great outlet and hopefully some people find my channel useful. On another note, I will ALWAYS keep fighting to get my daughter back.

Cindy, thank you for your comm. Do you post under the name "Cici" or under the name "Cindy Plahuta"? I joined your cooking channel and can't wait to try stuff. I am with you on fighting to the death to get our kids back. My son and daughter both disconnected from me just because I decided to leave the church. They found out I'd been reading Marty's site and they KRed me and disconnected. Wouldn't even listen to anything I had to say or the C of S references I compiled for them. They chose to believe the Scn handlers over their mother.

Cindy Temps I remember your story. It is so crazy that our kids chose to walk away from us. When I listened to Tony today, I was reminded of the power that Moms have with their kids. I think it is time that we exert the Power of Moms. In numbers.
