From Rathbun's blog comes this unexplainably bizarre essay about a Scientologist who has just "left".
http://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/brisbane-independent-lise-okane
In MartySpeak "left" means to switch buildings--from worshipping Scientology in an officially blessed church to worshipping Scientology in an unofficial ("independent") church building. So, anyways, this Australian Scientologist, Lise O'Kane, decided to switch the location she worshipped the tech of Scientology. Here it is with bold notations added for clarity of a discussion that follows:
On December 3, 2009, Lise O’Kane of Brisbane, Australia officially resigned from the Church of Scientology explaining, “I was absolutely disgusted with what David Miscavige has done to our precious technology. With Reverse Dianetics and Reverse Scientology destroying so many lives worldwide I realized some time ago the source of that plague was David Miscavige himself.” A Scientologist for more than 10 years, well respected and well liked throughout Scientology down under, Lise is a highly-skilled auditor and fully-interned Golden Age of Tech Class IV C/S who did her tech internship at AOSH ANZO. For the last five years, she held the posts of Tech Case Supervisor and Auditor in Brisbane org. Lise O’Kane was also Ed McBride’s auditor. For those of you who don’t know, Ed McBride was a soldier in the Australian army who was soaring after having just completed his auditing program in February 2007. Ed decided to take a day off and inexplicably was found dead 24 hours later. No one knows what happened. While his death was unrelated to his auditing, the Church’s irresponsible, secretive and evasive responses, coupled with the horrendous revelations of crush regging and human rights abuses worldwide convinced many that the Church had something to hide. Lise was deeply saddened at the Church’s attitude in regards to the McBride’s tragic loss (and as yet unexplained death of their son and brother) and how it was all about the protection of the Church and no care for the individual. When the Church received the news that Lise was going to resign, they sent in people to handle her from leaving. Like many staff they were being kept in the dark with no idea what was really going on in the world. So Lise took the opportunity to enlighten them, by handing them a copy of “What happened to training?” from http://www.friendsoflrh.org/Section2/ Finally free from the Church’s suppressive control as dictated by David Miscavige, Lise did what any normal human being would do, she reached out to the Ed McBride’s family expressing her own sorrow and condolences for their loss. Lise is now an INDEPENDENT SCIENTOLOGIST. Visit http://www.Scientology-cult.com to read her official resignation from the Church of Scientology, written December 3, 2009, but just posted today.
QUESTIONS I HAD TO ASK MYSELF TO TRY AND HOLD ON TO ANY SHRED OF SANITY:
1. Is this dreadfully overreaching piece an obvious thinly veiled attempt to launch a PR counter-offensive against the Awesome Aussies that recently initiated litigation vs. CoS? (which Marty vehemently objected to)
2. Why oh why would anyone in their right mind use a quote by the auditor of a guy who committed suicide one day after his last session?! Especially a quote about "our precious technology" and "destroying so many lives"? Wouldn't suicide be an example of not-so-precious technology?
3. If CoS is being accused of destroying lives, what would the suicide of a pc be an example of?
4. How is it that Marty and the auditor know that "his death was unrelated to the auditing?" The man was undergoing intense psychological and "spiritual" counseling by the Scientologist. He killed himself on his day off. And Rathbun and the auditor want the inquiry into Scientology's culpability closed even before it is begun?
5. How does anyone point the finger of guilt at CoS and not at the Scientologist who was "handling" the suicide victim? Isn't this Rathbun's successful action, to destroy evidence in manslaughter cases...or otherwise misdirect the investigation?
I am utterly stunned at the supreme arrogance of these criminal's masquerading as spiritual gurus and guides. After all, someone just KILLED THEMSELF and they are going on the attack so no one thinks to ask them a simple question.
"HEY, WEREN'T YOU AND THE SCIENTOLOGY TECH RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESULT THAT YOU AND THE SCIENTOLOGY TECH CAUSED?"
It's precisely this kind of insanity that makes an ordinary person crazy when dealing with Scientologists. I have no doubt that Scn is desperately spending mega-amounts with PI's to try and dig up the Psych connection that was behind this suicide.
(Note to OSA: Hey, fellas, it's been kinda quiet and you guys haven't said a peep about Psych's yet...having a little trouble finding another party besides Scientology when you do your little standard why finding?)
