This explains what happened at FLAG when they killed Lisa McPherson. Her "friends" taking care of her were utterly unable to make clear, sane, rational (i.e. appropreate) decisions that would have saved her life because those Scientoloists were ROBOTS RUNNING THEIR SUPERIORS' PROGRAMS in their heads. It's a goddamned shame Maureen cannot see this fact. It's so bloody obvious! I've read the cult's logs of her emprisonment; I've read several hundred of the 6000+ documents in the case. It is quite clear to anyone who has their eyes open and their critical thinking abilities in tack to understand that what Maureen was writing about above APPLIED TO LISA MCPHERSON'S DEATH. Is it really true that she doesn't see this?! {...} >After explaining the eight dynamics, Maureen states: "People... >place different importance on different dynamics. We are >surrounded by examples every day. How about the man who >abandons his wife and children to take up with a prostitute >just because she inflates his ego and makes him feel important. That's exactly what L. R. Hubbard did--- several times. After he abandoned his first wife and children, he ran off and went whoring around. He ended up doing sex magic with the black magician Jack Parsons, and running off with Parsons' girlfriend Sara Northrup. He married Northrup without bothering to divorce his first wife Margaret Grubb (later Margaret Ochs). When Hubbard got tired of Sara, he tortured her and tried to drive her to suicide. She finally escaped from him. While he was married to Sara, Hubbard used to go whoring: he met a woman named Ginger who gave him gonnohorea. Then he went around with a whore named Ferne. Then he married Mary Sue. ALL OF THIS IS IN HUBBARD'S OWN WRITINGS / JOURNALS! It is not manufactured by critics; it is data Hubbard himself has provided. If Scientology's "ethics" were so great, why was Hubbard such an asshole bastard who hated and feared women? {...} > In a decaying society as we find here in the United States > at this writing, BULLSHIT. The United States society is not "decaying" in its morals or ethics---- it has been steadily INCREASING over the past 40 years. At no other time in American history has so large a percentage of its citizens enjoyed better exercise of their rights, better legal redress, less abuse of the system, and greater commonwealth and comfort. Anyone who believes the United States society is "decaying" should get a fucking clue and learn some history--- or go back in a time machine fifty years and see just how bad people had it back then. {....} > The result is the increasing divorce rate, How many familes have been broken up due to Scientology's "disconnect" policy? Ten thousand? Fifteen thousand? {....} > "Now the simplest way to put an end to the matter is for > those attacking Scientology to just decide to stop attacking > and stop. Wow. By that logic, all the black people in the southern United States in the 1940s and 1950s and 1960s should have "just decided to stop attacking" the Ku Klux Klan and the lynching and the segregationism, and everything would have been just fine. Sheeeeit. Maureen would rather the victims of Scientology just roll over and die quietly without complaining or making any noise in their death throes. Lisa McPherson's family was just supposed to quietly bury their loved one and accept the fact that she was tortured and killed. It reminds me of the political cartoon: One little guy is laying on the ground. A big guy is standing over him, with one of his boots planted firming on the neck of the little guy. The dialoge balloon from the big guy says "Stop standing on my neck!" The little guy says "But YOU'RE the one standing on MY head!" That's exactly what the cult's OSA, and Maureen, is doing: victimizing people while claiming to be the victim. They can then continue to victimize people by asserting they are merely "defending themselves." Perhaps one day Maureen will open her eyes, think for herself, and realize just how much she has been deceived by her cult masters. -- Julia Maris-Baine Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
