I would like to see the total views statistic seen by the OP of this tread. Bet it is in the several hundreds, and this thread just started. Type4_PTS, what do you see at the bottom?
The Judge:
I was just thinking...
From PR viewpoint, this case may be way more damaging to Scientology than Monique's suit.
1) It involves someone who was exploited as a child vs. Monique being, though a never-in, a grownup.
2) It's in LA, and therefore will probably get more exposure.
3) It involves a jury.
4) It involves human trafficking, forced abortion and slave labor.
god I hope this actually gets to a jury. Maybe Nancy Grace will show up.
I'll make a prediction too.
I have a friend (only one I openly share with) who keeps pestering me about what the "end" will look like. How it will go down.
I said, you're watching it. You're in the middle of it.
The "fog of war" just obscures what's going on. With some hindsight later on, it'll all look clear.
This is what I told him.
Lehman Brothers was functioning and doing business somewhat normally until the week when it toppled over and went bankrupt. People were coming into work like usual, doing deals with customers, servicing their publics, stuffing their retirement funds with Lehman stock options and stocks. The severity of the financial situation was more or less a guarded secret, only spoken of in the boardroom and in the upper circles of management. How dire it actually was, its imminent collapse was kept from public eyes and the snooping financial press . . . as much as it could be.
Business as usual until the last day. Then it imploded "all of a sudden."

A lot of times these big corporations go down hard and fast.
But the collapse is usually years or months in the making and is a closely guarded secret, known only to a few at the top in advance.
I think this is what is going on right now. Why all the recent cancellations of events and product roll-outs.
Though they still have some money left squirreled away, their most important capital, the public, the sincere willingness of staffs, is mostly gone, IMO.
Only analogy I could come up with to describe what I "see" happening right now. Make sense?
Anyone can see the stats when you click on "today's posts". This is after 10 1/2 hours:
At the bottom of the thread it just shows me 120 Members have viewed the thread but doesn't show me the amount of guests.
There are currently 82 users browsing this thread. (29 members and 53 guests)
i am still so pleasanty SHOCKED by this judge.

Another aspect of this and other legal matters in regards to it snowballing:
OSA is gone. Aren't they all in the hole pretty much? You hardly see any of them now a days, right? Seems like Scn is a one man show and he can't keep up with it all.
He's gotten rid of the best, or they have gotten away. He is so blind he does not see he has totally done this to himself.Congratulations David!

And you know how the Church will just embrace a jury trial because they are so successful with them.
Evil Cult vs. young girl made into a slave as a child, later made to abort her baby.
Yeah, that should play well.
