As unsurprising as this all is, I think it's worthwhile to clarify something. It's not about Mike Rinder's and Marty Rathbun's 'karma', or, even their recovery or 'becoming human' again.
It's not about how delusional they still are, or whether they're still 'believers'.
There are thousands of escaped and escaping Scientologists, and, how and when and how completely they escape isn't really the issue. Nobody's setting himself up as the 'ethics officer' to 'pull their withholds'. Scientology 'Ethics Tech' is *always* abusive and it's not our job to implement it, even on those who still promote it.
We're not demanding the 'overts' of former or current Scientologists, either within or out of the 'Church'.
If Marty and Mike were just off somewhere 'recovering' from their Cult involvement this wouldn't be an issue. They're not. They're *here* in public speaking out and proclaiming themselves 'experts' on the Cult, and, because of their (previous?) high positions, they actually *could* be.
And, because of those unique positions; head of OSA and *his* boss; the IG RTC, they actually *are* aware of the crimes committed in the name of 'Scientology'; at the very least, those committed during the decades of their 'service', although, it seems likely that they would also know about *other* crimes, because it would have been their 'hats' to 'handle' danger to the 'Church'.
And, they have multiple times announced that they *would* reveal those crimes, in order to stop the ongoing criminality. But, they *haven't*. In fact, they've lied about it. They're *still* lying about it. Deliberately. There's no question of being 'delusional' or still 'true believers'. Mike Rinder for example has publicly announced that he knows enough to put David Miscavige in jail.
So much I don't doubt in the least.
So, it's not about Mike and Marty's 'salvation' or karma or spiritual well being. It's about being in a position to *stop the abuse*, but, for whatever reasons, refusing to do so. In fact, Marty has now begun revisiting his earliest shore story about the corrupt FBI trying to *frame* him and the 'Church' for crimes.
Both are deliberately *perpetuating* the criminality and abuse of the 'Church', while attempting to posture as the 'Clean Hands' twins.
Fuck em.
