In reply to LongtimeLurker. I've never contacted anyone before so never had to figure things out. I had considered sending Tony an email so he could send information along.

Not yet.

I think we’re both assuming that neither of us are OSA, so it will probably be the old “Person A posts their email as a response to a really old comment by Person B, then deletes it soon after” trick.

I was waiting for TT to get back to me.

I’ve done that with a couple of people in the past.

But I’m no expert…

In reply to LongtimeLurker. Did you and TT have a way to sort it?

Hi! Sure.

Can’t be too careful (sigh).

Any thoughts on how we should get in touch?

In reply to LongtimeLurker. Caught a convo you were having with TT in a recent thread about a once a year business trip and a catch up. I also am close by and wouldn't mind an IRL catch up with similar minded folk. Do not want any private information sharing in public spaces, however. You might have noticed me on the THR thread. Understand that coming out of the blue like this you might think me weird and want to ignore. Cheers in any case.

Thanks for all your help here identifying the people in the video. With the help of some of the old-timers at Ex-Scientology Message Board and one or two direct messages from well-connected members, I’ve been able to fill in most of the blanks over at Infinite Complacency: but if you have any other thoughts, be sure and get in touch.

What I don’t get is how no one else comments upon or seems to get…is that LRH builds up all of this evil warlord stuff, and then basically says…I am the warlord and you are my minions…good and evil are reversed…I am Satan and Christ and your savior but now you know why you must do evil in my name because it is really good. No one addresses the religion he has included in the basis of Scientology and how insidious and frightening it is, how he started with a sales funnel but really ended with a psychotic world domination scheme, how much he believed in this, had to really, so that he had to switch good and evil around in his own mind and fool himself. Because no one wants to credit it as a religion. LRH had to do all of this mental and moral and linguistic, acrobatic nonsense himself to do what he did. And trapped us all into doing the same.

In reply to Baby. Holy crap, and I thought we had a lot of company! I guess that's the price we pay for living in such a beautiful and warm area. I've had 2 houseguests in the last two weeks, 2 coming next week, and more coming 2 weeks after that. I did have an unusually long break from company last year and realized I may have made too many "jokes" about bolting the doors, rolling down the hurricane shutters and changing my phone number! (oops) The folks that may have taken it personally did seem to recover quickly when their winter weather rolled in. I love my company but need recovery time in between, those overlaps are killers!
