It was an ugly scene in Severna Park, near Baltimore, on Tuesday as some angry patients shouted at dentist Neil Woods while he was leaving his office with news cameras rolling.
“More than a dozen people are claiming they paid an Anne Arundel County dentist thousands of dollars for dental work they never received, and now the office is closed,” reported WBAL-TV’s David Collins.
The complaints from the patients were pretty awful.
— “All I got done was impressions. Then, he put in four implants. Two of them fell out. The other two were crooked. I went to this other dentist and he said Dr. Woods left me a mess. I need my money back so I can get teeth.”
— “I had at least 14 implants that came out.”
— “Every time I came to him, the bill always goes up and up. It’s never the same price.”
“In three years, he put in four implants. Two were crooked and two fell out. The bridge I have in my mouth broke, I told (Woods) about it and he didn’t do anything. I had to go home and crazy glue my teeth,” a patient named Frances Smith told the Capital Gazette’s Donovan Conaway.
Crazy glue her teeth?
What a nightmare. For some time, the patients had been trying to get responses from Woods, who abruptly closed his office and wasn’t taking calls. And some of them showed up Tuesday to berate him as he left his practice…
Patients who had tried to call for some answers got a message that said the office was closed because of “a medical neurological emergency that Dr. Woods is experiencing.”
Conaway, meanwhile, found that Woods was being sued by a former patient, but for only $30,000. It didn’t seem to explain what would close down his practice, or answer for the charges of shoddy and dangerous work that his former patients were accusing him of.
But here’s what the local reporting at the scene failed to grasp…
None of this should be happening! Neil Woods is an OT 8 Scientologist, an “Operating Thetan” who has completed the “Bridge to Total Freedom” and is “at cause” with the physical universe, able to affect matter, energy, space, and time with just a thought.
So is his wife, Barbara “Bobbi” Woods,” who, like her husband, completed “New OT 8,” Scientology’s ultimate auditing level, more than a decade ago.
Their daughter, meanwhile, is Tiffany Woods, a Sea Org worker who has signed a billion-year contract with Scientology and who showed up recently in a flier over at Mike Rinder’s blog…
Tiffany’s on the left.
In 1998, a former Scientologist named Charlotte Kates submitted an affidavit in a court case that mentioned Tiffany…
I was personally ordered by Tiffany Woods, the Senior HAS (Hubbard Communications Office Area Secretary) EUS (Eastern United States) and Jenny Porta, the LRH Communicator EUS, to stop taking medication that had been prescribed for me by a doctor to alleviate my thyroid condition — Grave’s disease — upon my signing of a Sea Organization contract. Ms. Woods and Ms. Porta told me that I would otherwise be ineligible for Scientology services, and told me that my medical condition could be cured with PTS (Potential Trouble Source) handlings and Scientology auditing…
Trust in Hubbard to cure Grave’s disease? That’s pretty hardcore.
For years Neil Woods listed his dental practice as a WISE business, a member of the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises network. And he and his wife Bobbi were listed in Scientology publications as “Patrons,” meaning that they’d donated at least $50,000 to Scientology’s membership organization, the IAS.
Both of them have been heavily involved at Scientology’s church in Washington DC, and Bobbi was a case supervisor there.
After achieving OT 8, Neil and Bobbi even proved to be dutiful Scientologists and went through the low-level but grueling “Survival Rundown,” an obsession with Scientology leader David Miscavige, who made the “SRD” a requirement even for OTs like Neil and Bobbi.
And after all of that past-life therapy and the ability to leave their bodies at will, how could an OT 8 find himself in such dire circumstances?
As soon as we learn more, we’ll let you know.

Jon Atack on L. Ron Hubbard and hypnotism
The subject of L. Ron Hubbard and hypnotism has come up here at the Bunker a couple of times recently, and so this is great timing. Jon Atack has been putting out videos at his new venture, and in this one he goes over a paper he wrote in 1993 all about Hubbard, hypnotism, and Dianetics. As usual, Atack is the consummate researcher.

“I happen to be a nuclear physicist. I am not a psychologist nor a psychiatrist nor a medical doctor. To some degree, it was my responsibility that this world got itself an atom bomb, because there were only a handful of nuclear physicists in the thirties — only a handful. And we were all beating the desk and saying ‘How wonderful it will be if we discover atomic fission,’ because we decided that the thing to do with atomic fission was to go out and discover the stars, to make big passenger liners that would go ten times around the world on the same fuel. This was what we endeavored to do with atomic fission. The government stepped in and gave us three billion dollars. I had nothing to do with that program; I would not have had anything to do with the program. Three billion dollars to destroy all of man.” — L. Ron Hubbard, February 6, 1952

“The postulate that worked for me that caused the rain in Australia had nothing to do with rain. I just become the planet and covered it with my beingness and decided it was all safe and OK. The thought of rain was also a previous one to this one but this one made it manifest.”

“If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have tried even harder to destroy myself.”
