WISE just paid $10,000 (wtf) for the domain: Prosperity.tv.

http://domainnamewire.com/2013/01/30/sedo-end-user-domain-sales-report/

It looks like scientologist Randy Gage is going to be taking his YouTube show elsewhere? YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/randygage

But wait - Randy seems to have blown, and has this to say on his site:

This is the one that grabbed me by the throat! I read Dianetics, went to a Scientology Center and actually took auditing courses, before coming to the opinion that it is a cult of brainwashed irrational and delusional zombies. (Now to be fair, I’m not singling out Scientologists, as I think a lot of fundamentalists fit that criteria as well.) And this book (halfway through) is a breathtaking look at L Ron Hubbard and how the masses can be manipulated. Every serious critical thinker should read this book. Warning: Be prepared to question how many of the dogmas and doctrines of your own faith might just be complete bullshit as well.

Anyway, if you want some great food to get you thinking, that’s what I’m feeding my brain right now. Feel free to share your thoughts or these books, or what you are reading right now.

Scientology often buys domains to harm their perceived enemies, but WISE International paying $10,000? Interesting.

I have never seen evidence that Randy was ever in Scientology , or a WISE member. Have you?
Perhaps they bought it to dead agent him since he's badmouthing the church? Like they did with Lawrence Wright? Or maybe they just bought it because it will make them more money?

They were sitting on the toilet reading Going Clear, by L. Wright. They had a flash of inspiration about where their money is headed............

The only evidence I've seen so far is his saying he was an auditor, at his website. I'm guessing it's a DA site, but I was really surprised at the cost. And that WISE didn't hide that they bought it.

Well, he did state in you OP quote that he took some auditing course but the only thing I found on his website searching for the word auditor was a comment written over 4 years ago by a scientologist in response to one of his articles. Gage never replied to him there.

I read your book and know your views on religion and agree apart from the fact that I am a Scientologist and part of the training involves "confronting" - sitting in a chair facing onother person and gradiently increasing your ability to confront people. This is an ability you need as an auditor (one who listens - councellor) otherwise the session will not go smoothly at all - with you having too much attention on yourself. All the skills you learn in Scn can also be applied to life, when you are trained auditor you are better able to confront life. To the degree you do not confront life then the more it becomes a problem. Sometimes just having that ability it seems that things just don't come up as problems - almost mystical. Most times problems get bigger and harder to confront the more you ignore them. Sometimes its just a matter of making that call to sort it out but we just don't do it because it's "easier" to do nothing. People withhold themselves to the degree that THEY CONSIDER they have broken their own ethical codes. They are trying to "protect the world from themselves" - when spitting it out is the safest thing to do in the long term. People are basically good and when they see themselves doing bad they withhold themselves or depart, like the unfaithful husband or the dishonest employee - they will often natter and complain - to reduce the size of the "thing" they have harmed so they can live with what they have done. I went off on a bit of a tangent there but I hape that makes sense.

Perhaps he never thought of himself as a scientologist , as many newly in tend to believe. He is now obviously not endorsing them anymore and is probably considered an enemy. Good for him! Maybe he made a deal with them , you can have the url for 10K and then leave me the F alone forever.

ps: the twitter link isn't working. Says they will try to fix the problem

He was tweeting about the cult of sci when I posted that link. It makes me wonder ... is he prospering from opposing the cult?

Well, did he own Prosperity.tv before they bought it? I assumed he did by your OP.

Sorry, I didn't explain my own thoughts on this sitch very clearly.

Someone - a mystery right now - bought and squatted that domain name. Now an outrageous sum was paid for a name that is used by Randy at YouTube.

So: Who bought and sold that, and how and why those two parties (seller and WISE) came to agree that 10k sounds good.

Did a scientologist sell the site to WISE in some money-shuffle? I have no idea. The seller is unknown.

My acquired skepticism: it's a DA site to be.

I'll be interested to see if it goes up, and what the content will be.
