Hey face,

Many thanks again!
I like so much the stories you write as if fills ''huge blanks'' about what had been the setting of the delluded cult we have now.

I like the way you write the stories and again is of great value.

Real piece fo art - I am hooked!

Thank you Lotus, you're very kind. Glad it's filling in some blanks. Stuff like what's here on ESMB was never supposed to be available to read. Apparently, El Ron, the OT of OT's didn't see the Net coming.

These stories have been quite a pleasure to read Face, getting a behind the scenes look.

Anticipating each exposing chapter. Much thanks.

Brian

Thanks Pal, I appreciate that and glad you're enjoying it.

This is an amazing history.

It was amazing to have been a face in the crowd when all of this was going down...literally and figuratively.

It's great to finally put it all out there.

Thanks Face. As I was reading all my memories came back of being in the Org and at Flag in the late 70s early 80s. Such potential!

There once was a dream that was Camelot...and it got pissed on.

You're welcome, Hats. Yes, at that time the potential was huge and my personal frustration was mounting with the utter lunacy and buffoonery of El Ron and Hisself's Mini-Me's.

Whadda colossal waste!

Thanks from me too. I was on staff at a mission from 1975 to 1983, and I remember all the excitement when the Flounder was going to revolutionize the record industry and the photo industry because he was a god walking among mere mortals. Then all this stuff just fizzled out. And I never heard about that heart attack!! Amazing how more pieces are falling into place reading your posts.

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou.

You’re most welcome, hummingbird.

’75 to ’83…that’s pretty much what this thread covers. I’m glad this stuff is filling in pieces for you. Y’all out in the Field were the ones that were on the receiving end of Hisself’s BS without being privy to what was really going on at "Source".:confused2:

Great stuff which has to the best of my knowledge not
been commented about in any depth previously.

Face,

This is a beautifully written, informative and, luckily, highly entertaining series of documents.

If it was not as entertainingly written as it is, the above extracted revelation from the "inside" would have left me enraged. As it is, I'm still pissed at the lies we were sold.

Having said that, it causes me great pause to think of the others who ought also have been aware of what you report here but who either were too dull to comprehend the actuality or who were likely so devoid personal ethics and integrity as to have simply gone along with the parade (for whatever reasons).

And I now see even more the need for a complete disassembly of the Cof$ because, not only was it set-up based on a fraudulent proposition, but that the deception has been continued by those who were aware of what you write and are corrupt enough or dull enough to continue it.

Thank you for your purity of spirit and good intentions such that you exited the con and are now revealing the truth.

Thanks Rog, much appreciated my friend.

Ya, I kinda go from the predicate that if you can’t laugh about some of this stuff then all there’s left to do is cry.

It causes me pause, too…knowing that what I saw and knowing some of the others that saw it were willing to gloss this over, “protect” others from it and put a “spin” on it all. My view is that there are some folks that have sold their very souls for a pittance and a promise and, it hurts me to say, they aint gots no way back at this point…that’s just how I see it.

When I walked away I didn't feel none to pure, that's for sure. I did what I felt I had to do and there actually wasn't any choice in it. To me, if I continued to live my life as I was then there was never gonna be a happy ending to it.

Great comments…and very true.

Well, my Friend, you stood tall.

It is indeed difficult when confronted by circumstances such as you were in to instantly do the perfectly correct thing.

I can well imagine a disbelieve reaction at first, and then a following pondering of how best to handle whatever it is one comes to conclude is the answer.

It's the end result that counts. The little delays or flubs along the way are of no matter.

You stood tall enough above the slime to not be sucked permanently down into it; you stood tall enough to walk away from it and all of the beguiling promises and reasons not to; and you now stand tall above all the rest who've not abandoned the falsehoods or otherwise have not made them known for the protection of others.

For these reasons, you ought be a happy man today.

The others, if they have any awareness or conscience at all must be sick of themselves and be feeling as though they are living in hell.

PS: the other thing to say is that, when in the company of shits one can feel shitty and shat upon. So I wouldn't put any feelings of "not feeling pure" wholly on one's own shoulders as to cause.

Hi Face. This is actually my first time on this thread. I pretty much read the entire thread this morning. Previously, I had merely read the various installments on the Apollo thread.

This thread is incredible. The first thing that comes to mind is a book deal. Everybody who knows anything at all about Scn should have access to what you have written in a convenient book or CD type of format. If it was made into a "talking book", just think how much fun people could have playing it especially on long trips. Someone wants to drive from L.A. to Las Vegas, which is normally a boring drive and with CD's of your story playing away, the drive would seem like one short but sweet pleasure moment.

Congratulations on your momentous achievement of writing the first 7 installments. Here's looking forward to the rest of the story. You writing style is classic and you are writing a classic!!!
Lakey

Welcome to the thread, Lakey…good to have you here and hear.

Most appreciative for your very kind words re: the story, Pal. I aint no Mozart but, I can “tickle the keys” on a keyboard a little.

As far as any “book deal” or CD goes, whatever Paul wants to do is OK with. Maybe we could title it, “The Power of Face”.

Face, I love your writing. It's so full of heart.

Thank you so much, FoTi, you're very kind.

I'm just thankful that I can tell this story well enough that folks can get something worthwhile out of it.

I write pretty much write from my heart 'cause my head don't work so good no more.:confused2:

Ditto! Ain't that a peach?!? I see many happy hours disecting that load of propaganda into tiny rabbit pellets

Lololol & I mean really folks, not only typical fluff-stuff, but a brilliant marketing piece (*schnork!*)..... YAY! The world is saved by Lron's majikal mix of african beats and pop jazz!

I like "barbaric symphony" and "an explosion of sound"!

This came from an old Auditor magazine.
Someone posted a ton of old magazines and issues at

Very fun!

Yep!!! Primo!!!

I like the part about the sound "astounding the first local professionals"...whatta crock! They were "astounded" alright...astounded at whatta P-O-S mess it was.

But...but...but.....

What about the "new motions in dance to give visual impact to the sound"?!?!?

He was just ahead of his time I guess.....it would have gone into heavy rotation on MTV......

 

[afaceinthecrowd]

thank you, cakemaker. I "consider myself at home."

Here's something that may fill in a few more blanks. It's titled "El Ron, The Leader" and is from my series on the Apollo Thread last Summer.

http://www.forum.exscn.net/showpost.php?p=417136&postcount=2626

Later today or early Friday I'll go back through that series and post some Links here for some of it. There's background and additional information there that will give more context to what I am posting here.

Glad this stuff is helpful to you.

Face

For those that have and interest, here are the Links to Parts One and Two of "Someone/Something New", my "framing" posts for "El Ron, The Leader" from last Summer on the Apollo Thread.

You know what????
Since I read all the truth, from first hand, via internet, this is exactely what I am thinking.

First I don't know how come Ron did not use his OT powertzzzzzzz and buddhaness to see the internet coming (internet was existing, for american defense purpose, after WW2 - he should have known about computer networking with him spying the government :confused2:

And I am sure the situation would not be the same if he knew it would come and exposs his lies to billions of people..same for Miscavige,
definitely, internet is ''evil''

I presume you are not at the spring of your life for a veteran you are..but I really hope that you could make a new life, recover the ability to ressent joy, hope , love, tenderness and hapiness , with family and friends (in case it would have been temporarly altered)

Scientology may have sadly dented many lives, but I guess we are culturally protected in that this "music" faded out in a whimper...

As for creating "new" sounds, the BBC beat him to it in 1963.
