Anyone see or know him?

He was offloaded from MM Class V Org Staff about 14 yrs ago now....

I liked him and his wife (at the time) Laurie, and we hope he's doing ok....

Oh wow, Jim Karnes is living in NM. My dad is good buds with him. Actually my dad just went to see Jim's sister in the hospital yesterday because she has cancer.

Jim is married and has a little boy who just turned 2. He is active with the Albuqerque Org.

He had a bout with cancer himself about 10 years ago. It's been gone since he got it handled.

His wife is NOT a Scientologist and he has been battling to get her into it since he married her. They have come close to splitting over it a few times.

Hope that helps!

OMG, Seriously?!

I'm soooo happy that he's alright!

So he's still 'in' then, I take it? WOW. What a surprise that he would be after what he'd experienced with us in MM.

So is he back on Staff then?

Thanks very much for the update, LFBD!!

Wow. I did some training with Jim at ITO in the late 80's. We were best of friends for a four month period. People thought we were brothers. Kept in touch for a while. I knew he was off staff and in some kind of OSA trouble. Surprised he's back, but whatever.

Wow. I'm surprised he's back on lines. Nice guy though. Wish he were here instead of there, but ever so glad he's doing well and has a new family and new friends.

He got a crappy deal at MM. :yes:

Yeah, I got a rush when I saw his name here. Would love to get back in touch with him, but I guess it wouldn't be productive if he's back in. :(

I'm pretty sure he could be handled. I can't imagine he'll ever get his upper bridge. Some pretty heavy stuff happened to him in Miami. Not his fault but pretty sure he'll be blocked at some point after what happened. He must realize this. He really should be Ex and he really should tell his story. :yes: Right Michelle??
