I’m flying to Philadelphia today to join Prof. Marci Hamilton to discuss A Billion Years at the University of Pennsylvania.
I hope if you are in the area you will join us. The event is free. I will be signing books. And talking with Marci about the book and other things that are important to us.
You can register for the event here.
I wish I could have been there. I had planned to, but alas I fell ill today. I missed the opportunity to ask you two questions:
1) How much of the upper levels of Scientology management knows there’s no more OT levels written?
2) What do you think Miscavidge’s endgame is regarding those missing OTs? How long can he stall?
Is there any way to get a book signed?
It would be so great if this event (or maybe another one in the future) had a Zoom line open for those of us far from Philly. Any plans for such a thing in the future?
I picture a room full of people, many books sold, and minds opened to the problems of cults. I also appreciate that you’re shedding light on child abuse, un-dealt with inside cults.
Just started the book and enjoying it very much! Loved your interview on Reality Life with Kate Casey. She is a great interviewer and y’all had a great conversation!
Can’t wait to see you at the event tonight! Went out and bought my hardcopy just in time 🙂
Hi Mike, are any book signings scheduled for Las Vegas?
Cheryl
Wow! You are on a roll!
Thank you Mike for doing such an excellent job of helping Dave to dismantle the Cult of Greed. I really enjoyed your book and appreciate your untiring efforts to expose the truth. May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season ………… and beyond!
Some long time friends recently purchased a home nearby. It just happens to look over the CST compound and one of the neighbors kids has a drone that he can operate very well. Maybe I’ll ask if there is facial recognition software available for it. Never know when we might see Shelly!
From both of us!
Yo Dave,
Seen any process servers lately?
I’m sorry, Scientology appeared to have developed an effective method for hiding back in Hubbard’s time.
Sorry to go off topic. But while we await the verdict in the Danny Masterson trial, I want to tell you all about an American cult that I just discovered and I am shocked because I had never before heard anything about this cult. It was started and run by a woman named Gwen Shamblin and it was tied to weight loss as well as a Southern Church. I found it to be a most interesting story but all in all, it is just like most all of the other cults.
This is a brief summary: This lady (Gwen Shamblin) convinced a large number of women the best way to lose weight was to join her church and “give their problems to God”. Needless to say, the story developed in the same way that most all cults develop. The result was that families were destroyed; people lost all their money and … I’m sure you know the rest.
If you have any interest, you can read about it or you can watch an excellent documentary about it. I found this documentary to be very informative.
The parallels between this cult and Scamology are extremely interesting. But as I watched this documentary, I found it just incredible how this woman (Gwen Shamblin) led this cult and was able to take a huge number of people (almost all of them women) who were overweight and convince them she had all the answers to help them lose weight while finding God. My mouth dropped and I was just rivited watching this story how this woman was able to deceive all these poor women and bring them under her power.
The most amazing thing was that I had never before heard anything about this cult before.
In 2021, an HBO Docu-Series was made about it. It’s called, “The Way Down – God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin”. You can read about it at the following link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15286764
You can also read about Gwen Shamblin at this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Shamblin_Lara
I would like to recommend you find a way to watch this documentary. I think you will find it most informative and interesting.
Wish you all the best Mike , just registered myself for the event.
