Thanks, AnonyMary.

I had a few thoughts:

1) This might explain the lavish videos we saw a few months ago touting the Bridge Pubs. factory.

2) Idea for a sign, aimed at getting those currently in to wake up: A large blow-up of a Scn book (Intro to Scientology Ethics, for example) with text: This book was made with FORCED CHILD LABOR. Where do your donations go?

Dean, you are taking me down Memory Lane

Bix reminds me of my own son Danny who is also eight years old. The news posted by Mark Rathbun has simply "made my day". I hope that this is a very public trial and that Daniel does not settle for a few lousy dollars but actually exposes the atrocities that regularly occur in the C of $. My own children were similarly abused by the SO when my wife and I were working fifteen hour days in the SO at AOLA for little or no pay. This was in the eighties.

I am going to say a prayer tonight before I go to bed that Daniel and his attorneys achieve their goals.

Greetings Dean.

Heard and understood.
I was with you in those years with Ivan Oblenski as Commanding Officer at AOLA,.

Remember when we ordered to stay at AOLA and not go home for the night ? Some 8-10 of us waited, knowing this was not good. Then we were summoned to CMO IXU at the HGB. (An entity long gone in all the purges). We were driven to the Hollywood Guarantee Building on Hollywood Boulevard for interrogation ~~ police polygraphing on the supposed "religious" E meter.

It was now 1am. We were huddled into individual rooms by "CMO", These Perky twerps~~ adolescent 2nd generation Scientologists felt they had the POWER and they were giddy with the POWER.

They wanted a WHO.
WHO was being Disaffected for the cancellation of FAMILY time ? Who was creating ENEMY lines against Church Management for DARING to hope for 1 hour with our Kids ?

My son Alexander Jentzsch was 3 years old.
Dean, yours were of a tender age.
We had the NERVE, the GALL, the BRAZENNESS AND EFFRONTERY TO ask for 1 hour day Family time !

We were ENEMYs ! This was an ENEMY LINE !
We were Disaffected and Disassociated. !

Never mind that we worked 60 hour weeks for $12 to $20 ( most weeks there was no $$$ to pay the staff)!
Never mind that all Annual Leaves were canceled !
Never mind that a day off every 2 weeks was canceled....1/2 day off every 2 weeks if your statistics showed outstanding production.

We had now been up 17 to 18 hours and CMO wanted the WHO in ROLLBACK to find the SP !

Dean, you are taking me down Memory Lane.
Why did we put up with this ? Actually I was gone soon after this incident ~~ within months ~~the Drachonian madness increased and you and Lynn followed soon after. Then the unit disintegrated. There is not a soul left there that was part of our group. All gone within 2-3 years.

Ivan, the Commanding Officer fled soon after as well.
The abuse and destruction of hard working willing staff (albeit deluded into thinking they worked for an "ethical" group) is always fascinating to view in hindsight.:confused2::confused2::confused2:

Scientology's so shockingly sleazy!

PREDICTION: Big settlement (e.g. $3M- $5M) prior to trial with confidentiality covenants galore.

I really hope not. I hope Daniel and his attorney(s) will stick to their guns on demanding a public trial and refuse to settle or be silenced. It's a crime in every sense of the word how he was treated at the hands of the church and I hope with all my heart that he makes them pay for it.

Some things touch your heart ....

Jason Beghe's young 8 year old wrote this poem


Together We Can

Danny is Lonely

Danny lost his family. He lost his wife. Danny lost his job!!!
He even lost his Mom and his Dad!!!! And his home!
But we opened our house to him. We gave him our family.
We gave him a job. We gave him our hearts.
First, he was a stranger and now he's not.

:touched: Beautiful, Bix! :yes:

Agreed - made me tear up too. What a sweet kid. I'm glad that Daniel landed with the Beghe family. Sounds like they have really good hearts and are taking care of him, and heaven knows he deserves it after what he experienced.

Something about that name "Winter" . . .

Heh!

Would it be true to say that Kit is Scientology's second Winter of discontent ; )

Its early days in Daniel's expedition. He appears to be well resourced and brave. I wish him only good luck. As a critic, I am looking forward to this news being splattered all over the media and can only dream about seeing the cult wriggling in open court as L Ron Hubbard's Evil is laid bare before a Jury. Still, I am wary of expressing too many expectations or hitch my hopes to Daniel's wagon for fear they might add to the load he is personally carrying. What ever the outcome, be it a settlement or a trial, my only real desire is that it best suits Daniel's needs.

Happy birthday, dude. Did you see the front of Moxon's pants the moment after he got news of your suit?

Definitely! The more that can be entered into Public Record, the better.

Really excellent article.

Little quote:
We were especially encouraged to see that Scientology attorney Kendrick Moxon was named as a defendant in Montalvo's lawsuit. As we pointed out in our previous story about Montalvo, it was Moxon who lured the young man back to Los Angeles with promises of seeing his mother, only to double-cross him by having him sit through interrogations with Scientology attorneys and a short stint in jail, the lawsuit alleges.

Moxon we know very well. Eleven years ago, we showed in great detail what sort of skeezy behavior Moxon was capable of on behalf of Scientology.

As the St. Pete Times points out, a similar lawsuit against Scientology was brought by Marc Headley, another defector we've written about. That lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge. But we've rarely seen a lawsuit like Montalvo's -- one aimed at Scientology in such a narrow, focused way, leaving out Scientology's beliefs and focusing only on how it treats its Sea Org wretches. It's early days, but this case should be spectacular to watch unfold.

Haha, AnonymousUK just tweeted a link to the SP Times article with the preface:

SCIENTOLOGY CUT MY FINGER OFF

...pretty good headline; call the NY Post!

(Just for fun, the best NY Post headlines in history:

HEADLESS BODY IN TOPESS BAR
and, on Ike Turner's obituary:
IKE BEATS TINA TO DEATH)

Beautifully said, Infinite/Blip. That is my hope as well.

No, both are civil suits, so Daniel can drop them at any time if Scn offers a settlement that he approves of. If Daniel prevails at trial, the defendants are still not convicted of any crime, only found liable for damages (compensation in Scientology's case, punitive in Moxon's, lol).

No one's going to jail over this, alas, but they could pay a shit-ton of (parishioners') money and get worse press than Khadafi in the process, which sounds pretty good to me!

Miscavige is no defendant in both case despite R&R says that he micro manages anything. Explain that.

Happy Birthday Daniel ... this is probably the first one you will truly be able to enjoy, and with your beautiful new family.

The cofs is finally getting what is deserves.

Good.

How DARE they treat children this way!

Nobody should disconnect from the real family. Those who do regret it when they are older.
