Oz ABC Four Corners on Scientology March 8

Well, I am almost lost for words. Almost.

Liz, OEO and Jordi - I am so honoured to call you friends. With out you guys and a few others I wouldnt be who I am and where I am now - living a free, happy life. Having had the experiences with the church I feel I am a well informed individual, with the right people in my life to supprt me. I am greatful to have you guys in my life.
You spoke so well in the program.

Liz, I dont think I've ever seen you cry untill everything was going on getting Jordi out. James, I have never seen you cry untill watching you talk about the destress caused to your family through the church. I am so glad to see something being done in regards to the church.

To the team at four corners - I thought the program was very well put together. I loved that four corners stayed neutral, delivering the stories from the horses mouth and then giving Tommy Davis a chance to respond.

In saying that I thought it hillarious that as the spokes person for the CoS you'd think Tommy would have been a little more informed on the goings on in the church, or at least have had a prepared response to allegations of which these are not the first public occurances.

Tommy, I loved watching you stutter and stumble your way through the interview. I feel like watching it again to count how many times you say "I dont know". I also want to watch the part again where stuttering through I don't know's you say something along the lines of "I wouldnt tell". That was possibly my favourite bit.

I think that's all I have to say on this for now.
Thank you for speaking out, and telling a story that is sadly not just your own.
My love to you all.

I have just watched the whole documentary. I am feel like littlebopeep - I am almost at a loss to find words.

I am posting this brief but heart-felt message before I go and sit outside and gather my wits.

To each of you who spoke out tonight:

Hana :rose:
Joe :rose:
Liz :rose:
James :rose:
Jordon :rose:
Peta :rose:
Laura :rose:
Claire :rose:
Marc :rose:

I don't know how to say thank you so this will have to do.

Thank you!
 
Tommy Davis, the spokesliar for the cult of scientology has changed tactics. Looks like OSA has found Media-SP handling tech which allows for not attacking.
So now we just have "I don't know anything about that."
sometimes served with insipid denials.
Well it is just as much FAIL as the attack tech for which little Tommy is so well known and well laughed at.
I so respect L.Ron Hubbard's genius which lead to having Tommy there on our side.

Bloody well done, to everyone involved. Watched it with some friends who don't know anything about Scientology and they found it to be hard hitting and shocking. Thank you for speaking out.

QUENTIN MCDERMOTT (to Tommy Davis): Is it possible that a church attorney hired a private detective to follow Four Corners and Marc Headley while we were filming? Is that possible?

TOMMY DAVIS: I couldn’t comment on that. I couldn’t comment. I mean, I couldn’t be able to... I wouldn’t tell. I wouldn’t know how to answer that.

I have no knowledge on it, so I don’t know how to answer it.

Tommy's brief moment of honesty?

Holy crap! - I'm shocked all over again about how evil and sinister this cult is!

This has got to be the best documentary yet.. The shit has hit the fan me thinks!! Miscavige and the intire staff at OSA has little brown spots all over!!

Mewhahr.. And Tommy Davis! - Is he getting 'better' at his 'reporter TR's'? - Or is he starting to see some outpoints?

:D
 
Awesome expose.
Moving and shocking.

I hope the senators grow some balls over the vote.
(Somehow, I don't have my hopes up though)

My heart goes out to those with family trapped in.

Tommy, "I don't know about that" < Is he rehearsing for the court cases down the track?

Time to wake up Tommy boy.

I reckon so too, and that was the plan. It's a joy to see the CofS and Scn exposed for what it is. Tommy helped us do that.....His PR capers on the various issues illustrated how the CofS works. Not long now. :)

Tommy Davis is great

Just watched the doco and extended interviews.

I`ve discovered a way to tell if Tommy is lying.
If you look closely ...you`ll see his mouth moving.

It`s a dead give away.

I`m thinking of writing a rock opera about him.
Maybe a about a deaf , dumb and blind kid.
We couldn`t ask for a better spokesperson for the cult.


Well done to all involved.
Worth the wait. 4 stars !!!

That was absolutely incredible.

Everyone spoke right from the heart...except TD of course. Can't help but wonder if he has any heart left at all.

Hana's reaction to TD's definition of the RPF was priceless.

This is an epic win thanks to all you who worked so hard on this.

Just spent 2 hours on the videos and will spend the rest of the day on the links and comments. This is riviting and wonderful! I have been in tears several times.

Thank you so much to everyone involved!
 
wow, just... wow.
I don't know about everybody else, but it's difficult for me to even see Tommy Davis during interviews, period. His face, his voice, even his hair... everything about the man just upsets me greatly.
A big thank you to those who shared. It is very, very much appreciated.
That goes to everybody on this board as well.

OSA's probably already thought of that and so is going to "brief" them on the doco before it goes to air so they can have their comments ready as soon as it's over.:whistling:

Dunno how many "faithful" apart from SO members that'll go along with it without sneaking a peak or two, tho'.:coolwink:

I knew quite a few members who used to watch whatever was going on in the media against Scientology so not all of them keep away from the "entheta".

They got the Xenu story wrong!

OK, nitpick over - that was professional, well researched and excellently edited. Any Australian politician who dares to vote in Parliament without having watched it deserves to be kicked by kangaroos and walloped by wallabies.

One point - I assume not including Senator Xenephon's ex-member witnesses was deliberate. What this documentary emphasises is they are not just a handful of people in Australia complaining, this is systematic abuse, corruption and lies worldwide.

Wow

I just watched the interview of Hana Eltringham Whitfield and I was so moved. She is amazing. Honest, dignified, graceful and very clear. I loved it.

I bet the CoS is just waiting for a chance to call her a liar, too.

She says it out: "It was crazy. And we believed it. Or tried to."
