The Grassy Knoll of the Internet

What a reasonable person would interject here is that the Church of Scientology's own websites look like conspiracy theory lunacy, with their crackpot and hystrical messages about psychiatry and the like. If there is a "grassy knoll of the internet", then the Church of Scientology is at least a duke of that hill.

Their website is the Roswell of the Internet:)

Lurking.
How ever they thought that using the "grassy knoll" term was going to make a case I will never know because the story of JFK and his assasination was about the powers that be (CIA, NSA, CofS) shooting down the threat to their money and power.
If the CofS (aka DMs church) wants to compare themselves to JFK they should look at the Freedumb mag, because if JFK was responsible for that (and he IS not),He would have shot himself, because he was a man of integrity (unlike DM).
All that BS was try to make the internet sound like a place full of bad people with rifles, but it's more like fire and brimstone LOL.

We have a few "grassy knolls" around our place...although the "grassiness" does get somewhat affected by the scorching sun in the summertime. And, come to think of it, if you're gonna sit down and have a sanga, then ya have to keep an eye out for the bull ants and the snakes. :D


This is not a knoll. It's a gully. It even says "gully" right there on the picture.

Come on, Carmel!

"The Grassy Gully of the Internet?"

David Miscavige is an arrogant POS

I think I have it figured out. Anything negative said about scientology (or David Miscavige) cannot be believed because the reporters hide behind the mask of anonymity. The problem Davey now has is that these 'anonymous' reporters are 'coming out' in droves with their pedigree information. His solution is to anonymize (my word) these sources by coming up with sophomoric pseudonyms to convey his perception of these individuals. If he is lucky, no scientologist will learn that Marty Rathburn is Kingpin; Mike Rinder is Fact-checker; Amy Scobee is Adulteress; and Tom DeVocht is Con man.

Davey's belief that his rag, Freedom Magazine, has "annihilated the credibility" of these sources is laughable. Credibility is a two way street. Does Davey believe that Tommy Davis is credible? Does Davey believe that any one of the hundreds of starry eyed acolytes he props in front of a camera is believable? Does Davey believe that his position as 'ecclesiastical leader' of the church makes him more credible than any other person on the planet?

Davey should look up the definition of 'corroboration'. He is correct that an admitted liar's testimony should be scrutinized; however, how much of what these individual has stated is corroborated by the testimony of others as well as the internal documents of the church? It must offend Davey to no end that there are criminals out there that would publicize these 'confidential church scriptures' that corroborate the misdeeds of the church and simultaneously demonstrate him a liar.

In the meantime, Tommy Davis has some crimes he needs to get off his chest. After all, didn't he corroborate the 'grassy knoll rumor' that Xenu is the etiology of the church and part of their 'sacred scripture'? Didn't he also admit that abuse in the Sea Org is "normal" for these "tough sons of bitches"? Didn't Tommy read the memo 'admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-allegations'? So while Tommy is back in cramming, I'll hang out on the 'grassy knoll'.

Yes. It's a nice place. We can watch the parade from up here.

I've brought some sandwiches, and some wine.

Would anyone like some?
 
Summer picnic on the grassy knoll

Actually, in a battle, it is strategic to take the high ground. I like the view from up here just fine...think I might have a picnic and invite some friends! :D

Yes Alanzo, I would, thank you! And I brought some fried chicken and homemade potato salad! Who's got the watermelon? :D
