yeh right, the demented old fruitbat was in it for himself all the way, the cult is built on ruined lives and the backs of the deluded but well intentioned. As I watch this newest trainwreck unfold, the plotting, the alienating, the struggles for control, infighting, slandering, their 'truths'/lies etc., I see the bigger picture unfolding, spawning a sort of cloned hydra of illusion taking shape from the wreckage of Lron's fractured mind. Elitist ego-trippers working on gathering a new flock of sheeples (and hanging on for dear life to the ones already corraled), fired up by ancient LRon farts~the sweet smells of power/money/glory. Steve's attacks and accusations on the old freezoners is just one facet, I think, of a larger ploy to discredit all who don't shake the same penis as Marty or him. Sorry but its the best I can express this feeling i my gut at the moment. They all make my skin crawl with that icky feeling ya get when you jump into a beautiful pond and come out covered in leeches. 
Soooo..If "uptight Indy" (thats what I'm calling the person who I had the FB conversation with) is right, who in the FZ has made deals with OSA all along?
I've got my suspicions.
) until they signed non-disclosure agreements with the church in exchange for token payments. 
This is almost certainly a reference to David Mayo, Sarge Gerbode, and the many other ex's who were litigated to within an inch of their lives by the OSA (under the Rathbun, Rinder, Hall & Company's assistance
These early leaders of independent scientology all faced far greater persecution from the church, both in themselves and with regard to their families, friends and associates, than anything these latter day 'converts to independence' have had to endure, in some cases even involving attempts at false imprisonment and assassination. This past history has resulted in a serious loss of legal credibility for the church in its more contemporary attempts at litigation. Law enforcement & the courts are wise to the tactics of the church & it's lawyers NOW in ways that they weren't then.
Thus, for all his crying about present day church harassment, Rathbun & his friends have experienced far less trouble from the church than those who he claims to be "sellouts" to the OSA, an OSA it need hardly be repeated he was busily running and for which he was actively directing persecutions at the time
Since Rathbun crawled out from beneath his rock and started his own Brand X of scientology services he's been preoccupied with discrediting those such as Mayo who showed personal honor & integrity in exposing the truth concerning lrh & the church's abuse. He portrays himself as a principle leader whereas he is still the same old thug he was while he was actively serving the interest of Miscavige and the church.
By Rathbun's lights, those whom he helped to persecute into signing non-disclosure agreements are all villains, while he and his crew of SO absolutists are principled leaders serving to preserve the truth concerning lrh & the church.
Also from your post #13 ...

This has been Rathbun's spin with regard former & founding leaders of the independent scientology movement and those who are still aligned therewith. It is his blatant attempt to discredit those with integrity who left decades back beginning the process of public disclosures concerning the many abuses of lrh & the church.

By doing so you are helping to serve Rathbun's & Hall's wish deliberately to distort the history of the independent and freezone practice of scientology. Unfortunately I'm not surprised at all to see you posting your belief in this. Accordingly, I'm also sure Rathbun will be pleased with the apparent success with you of this misrepresentation.

It appears to me that Steve wrote those things because he's a zealot carved by Hubbard's own hands.
Although he does admit to being a little tired & cranky because he was up all night saving mankind.
