The original BAMFA is out!

[Mockingbird6]

Thanks for telling your story... what a shitfight.

I get where your Mom is coming from, I had the same experience with mine.
She asked me why I left after 34 years and I said, "It's become more and more like a cult".
She sighed and said, "It's ALWAYS been a cult, dear."
Smart girl.

We've been experiencing the same thing with various relatives--turns out we've been in a fishbowl that they could see in, but we couldn't see out.

My blood has thinned out since I lived in the Great White North. I'm in Texas now -- Big D. How 'bout them Cowboys!

I can only tolerate snow and crappy roads for 2 weeks at the most now.

You've gone soft, eh? Come back and take it like a man!

It's only going down to -10C in Calgary... practically bathing suit weather!

Ain't THAT the truth !!!

We've been experiencing the same thing with various relatives--turns out we've been in a fishbowl that they could see in, but we couldn't see out.

On reflection that has been of some embarrassment to me. Damn, I hate it when I'm the last to figure out something so obvious!

Sir Ralliart, your story is giving me the heeby bloody jeebies mate. I remember the uncomfortable feeling of being forced to do things your better judgment would never permit.

It fair used to give me a physiological reaction.

The sooner they're gone the better.

Welcome, saw the reports, glad to see you posting so quickly.

[LongTimeGone]

God a lot of your story sounds familiar.
As for regges, it's bad enough when they gang up on a public, but when they are screwing staff as well it is unconscionable.
My partner, when we were both in the SO in Sydney, was regged for $10K whilst I was on the SHSBC at Flag. Scum.

Welcome Sir Ralliart - Sounds like you are with REAL friends at the moment.
Stay strong mate, I predict you may have some mixed emotions heading your way.

It might take a while but you'll come through it.

and to Louisville Kentucky for a reg $$$$ cycle.

I read your story with strong interest. Jeanie Franks/Bogvad/Sonenfield is no dummy and I am sad that she has not seen the light.

In 1991 when her son was born ~~ she had some communication with Janis Gilham who has recently blown.
Janis blew INT Base because she was being forced to have an abortion. She and Paul wanted the baby.

David Miscavige had a HUGE reaction to Jani's blow. Her sister Terri Gamboa who was the former ED of Author's sister had recently blown INT base as well.

So much was the paranoia of Miscavige, that he paid for a private investigator David Lubow to embed himself into their personal lives as a "friend" to report to Miscavige~~
for 20 YEARS !!!!

Back to Jeanie Sonenfield, the ED/CO of Cincinatti Org that you speak of. Jeanie's husband Jens Bogvad, former CO Munich and CO LA Day died of cancer
Jeanie was on a short leave and had spoken by phone with Janis
Of course Lubow, the PI apparently reported it at once.

Jeanie was summoned to INT for PUNISHMENT. She had talked to a blown INT BASE member !

For this "transgression" Jeanie was put in lockdown at iNT base for some 12 weeks. She spoke to no one. She was in a tiny cabin with a Security Guard outside. She was locked in from the outside. This was an earlier version of SP hole. Jeanie was put under intense security checks, as much as 8 hours a day.

The only person permitted to speak to her was the interrogator. She was unmercifully sec checked morning, noon and night for 12 weeks. Her food was delivered through a slot in the wall. She was a prisoner, she had no contact with the outside world, no telephone, no ability to write and this was shortly after the death of Jens, her husband. She had no civil rights, no Constitutional rights, no way to fight freedom of passage ~~ Hey! Hey! Hey ! this "1st Amendment Rights" Religious Exception ! Freedom of Religion to kidnap and lock you down !

Jeanie has seen the darkness. She has seen the dark side.
She was with me on the Apollo and I know her on many levels.

I do not understand why she takes it and empowers Miscavige. I do not know how she could last as the CO of Cincinnati Org while reporting every 6 months to Clearwater for Sec checks ! This has gone on for 25 YEARS !

I hear she has raised several million dollars for DM for a photo op ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Cincinnati
"Ideal Org"

Thank you Mike, carry on !

I read your story with strong interest. Jeanie Franks/Bogvad/Sonenfield is no dummy and I am sad that she has not seen the light.

When she was Jeannie Danilovich, before being married to Bill Franks, she was full of life. She glowed. She was active , played tennis, had a white bathtub Porsche. This is not good news.

Welcome to the club, Mike.
I have many similar experiences, perhaps on a smaller scale,
but just as significant and illustrative, at least to me.
Interesting times. Wish you well.

[Miss Pert]

WELCOME MIKE! Your story just made me want to sit down with you and have a huge "natter" about the OOT program, work study, food, berthing, iso etc, etc at Flag. Aaaaaaagh!!!!!
