Agreed.

Hubbard’s career as pulp writer and weaving reality in fiction stories is how Scientology’s voluminous fantasy is layered into Scientologists’ minds.

It’s a whole massive exit struggle, mentally.

Noting Vaughn Young’s contributions though, showed me how important the wordsmith class of ex senior Scientology leaders is so important to go public and tell how life really is inside the Scientology top ranks.

Those that lived the layers of fantasy that Hubbard wrote, the PR people, the Marketing people, those who spoke once for Scientology, and know the insider leadership thinking, are the sub set of ex members whose voices needed outside group support.

I’m so glad Ursula did her job, and that the Hamburg state government supported the decades Ursula did her work.

It helped absolutely, to provide at least for a while, a platform for ex Scientology senior people to be heard!!

Steve, I hope you know that I, as a critic who’s never been IN the cult itself, am grateful for each and every one who has worked so hard and continues to work to expose the lies, the harassment, and the wrongful deaths and disconnections. So many good folks have died in the interim, never knowing, maybe, how much they contributed and continue to contribute through their stories.

Blessings on Ms. Caberta. Blessings on all of us. I will be so glad when Miscavige stands alone and naked before the world. Karma’s wheels grind slowly sometimes but what goes around does come around. I am sure it will happen in my lifetime, now.

That is well said!

Anything by that whiner, Neil Young.

I laughed out loud at that, Robert!

Sorry about your dad, Alonzo. He raised great kids, though – your sister and brother in law did great in getting out and in sticking by you. Looking forward to your book now! How on earth did it go from the “I want to help the world” to “Oh, what the f@#$ did I get myself into now?”
After reading more on your blog yesterday, I saw all the stories on VV and elsewhere on Biggi Reichert, and had to go read them all. I am late to the stories, but catching up….Your stories, and others, surely help keep more of this miserable crap from happening to others….thanks so much.
