Well Ax,
I think you did a really good job on the video's!
I was a little disappointed to hear you say you don't think all scientology is bad, I thought you had got past that bench mark.
I would be interested to hear what bit's you think may have some usefulness?
A quick response on what I thought about the videos and speakers;
Martin Padfield - in for 30 years, still in, but getting there, not a hope in hell if he keeps following Marty.
Samantha Domingo - I have met her on a couple of occasions now. I like her, but see someone very confused, again been in a very long time, and not a hope in hell if she keeps following Marty.
Pete Griffiths, a lovely man, diplomatic, something I struggle to be constantly, but definitely out.
John McGhee, again a very lovely young man, who was the star of the day, wish I could have been there to support him.He actually got in scientology for all the wrong reasons and I am sure that is what got him out.
Terril Park we won't even go there, because just about everyone knows my feelings on him.
Vicky Bollard,did not know who she was till this conference although I had come across the name before. The last video when she praised the Commodore said it all for me, and left me distraught.
I will reiterate yet again, on board the Apollo in 1968 the MAA, Goran Anderson daily threw people over the side of the ship for whatever the crimes of the day had been committed by the erring auditors or crew. People were locked up for having "psychotic breaks", a Hubbardian term, in plain English, mental breakdowns due to circumstances aboard the Apollo. Dictatorship of Hubbardian rule, according to Hubbard and I heard this many times "the sanest place on the planet", in reality it was the most insane place on earth. A floating lunatic asylum, no doubt about it. Goran told me personally when he came to handle me in Denmark, "don't ever tell anybody about this, people will not believe you, for it is so far fetched and you know what happens to people who tell wild stories" ... Yes I did, for it had been drummed into me from being a small child of six, you will be locked up in a mental institution and they will throw away the key. Goran, many years later hung himself. My question is this, how many other children did he deliver a similar kind of message to? All in the name of the Commodore?
I realise this probably isn't the appropriate thread for this, but it is the question I would have asked Vicky Ballard had I been present at this conference.
Scientology works alright in total obedience to L. Ron Hubbard out of fear. I believe this was the title of one of his science fiction books. FEAR! His research was for his books, only he did it on real live people.
As I said earlier, good videos Ax, keep it up!
