Holly - glad you've made it here.
Would love to hear more stories whenever you have the time and the inclination.
I'd be happy to, as things come up to which I can contribute.

Hi Holly,
Welcome to ESMB. I bet you have some great stories to tell!
Perhaps you know "Dart Smohen", who wrote up his adventures in "The Sea Project", which is available for download (for free) from www.paulsrabbit.com in pdf format?
In any case, take your time.
Hi Holly. Welcome to ESMB, a marvelous collection of some of the most audacious free beings on the planet.
I knew John Imburgia, and his brother. I also knew John McMaster. And as for the first "Clear", there were folks being declared "Clear" in the late 50s, with the cute little "clear bracelets" and all.
We finally learned it was all Hubbard hogwash.
Thanks, Div6 . . . 'fraid I don't recall the name Dart Smohen, but thanks for the link!
For the record, I will share any stories, all of which come from my recollection, flawed or accurate as they may be, and with the knowledge that people have been known to change and I never intend to denigrate anyone, but only to bring information to light for everyone's use in finding their own understanding.
To me, that's more freedom producing than any number of levels on some "grade chart."
Hello,
I knew John Imburgia left Bufflo because of the out ethics of his brother peter Imburgia. He moved to Texas and then later left the church when DM took over. He was a great auditor and a good person.
When the John Imburgias were in Texas, they lived in a beautiful Colonial style home in Rockwall,Texas. Rockwall was/is the home of the Church On The Rock. A Church so popular that parishioners had to gather in the parking lot to hear the sermon broadcast over loudspeakers. Those "Churchies" had a ritual that they performed which consisted of running their hands down one anothers' bodies to cleanse the "demon spirits". They prayed the "spirits" back to Jesus. Too funny for us OT3 folks. That was in about 1984 or 85 IIRC.

No the trick is that it's nothing we do, but it's God (Christ) who does it. ie. His power, not our words. (That's the theory.)Exorcism has been around in various forms for a long long time. The Catholic version uses similar to OT 3, but the trick is to really get in comm, not just use a few commands. And, of course, exorcise a real being, not umpteen thousand sensations in the body.
