We love our tipsters, especially the ones who take great risk and smuggle out to us videos that are only meant for internal consumption in the Church of Scientology.
Most of the time, these videos are goofy, and we have a good time poking some fun at them. These are, after all, L. Ron Hubbard’s promised ‘homo novi’ — ‘improved’ human super beings who are going to take over the planet and save us from the Marcabian invading forces that rule Mars and Venus.
Today, we have a couple of videos that are typically hamfisted and mockworthy. But this first video, from the Nashville Celebrity Center, is another matter.
Technical secretary Karen Morris explains the tough choice she made to become a Sea Org staff member and dedicate herself utterly to the cause.
UPDATE: We received this message from someone who knew Karen and her husband well:
She used to be the Executive Director of the Atlanta Org, and was taken off post because she had a child. She was heavily ridiculed and Sec Checked for being “off-purpose” and putting her child in front of her post. She and David Morris (who used to work as an FSM for a while) then had another little girl. David is a chiropractor.
AdvertisementAfter some financial difficulties (go figure), David got a job commuting to Nashville from Atlanta, then they moved up there and she re-joined staff.
David and Karen are actually good people who have been completely fooled. Karen was raised in Scientology, as her mother was in the Sea Org for a long time. It’s a shame, and another reminder just how insidious this whole scam really is.
If you know Karen Morris, or if you’re related to her, please, try to reach this woman. It’s not too late for her to have a real life, the kind she obviously desired before she signed up for David Miscavige’s workforce.
Getting back to the usual Scientology wackiness, here’s some rah-rah about the Detroit Ideal Org project.
…and a plug for Silicon Valley’s next fleecing, in October…
Thanks again to our great tipsters.
