He has been one of the most consistently critical voices of David Miscavige and the abuses of scientology. He is relentless, and his bringing these things to the attention of the world is appreciated and I wanted to take a moment to thank him.
Birthday Wishes: Thank you all so much for so many kind birthday wishes and messages yesterday. There’s no way I can respond to them all individually, but have tried to read them and at least “like” as many as possible… Had a wonderful time with Christie and the boys and a party with friends on the weekend.

@otherless,
Quite true, but the likelihood is in my opinion high that even if she were given the option to leave she would stay.
That said she still should be offered that option.
Aquamarine says
Just getting back to email today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKE! Many, many happy returns of the day 🙂
Maggie says

Can Karen Bass order the LAPD records of their “investigation” released?

Same day as Omar Sharif (1932), known for his dashing good looks and for his iconic role in Lawrence of Arabia. Now there’s some “Whole Track” irony for you…
I shall now dub you Rinder of Teegeeack👽. Happy Birthday Mike.

Succeeding at your work, and earning well;
Loving your family, and having time with them:
Having parties/experiences with more friends, and sharing happiness.
There are the things not found in Scientology my friend.
Aquamarine says
+ 100.
Dead Man Talking Bill Straass says
Happy birthday Mike!
Love, Bill

If I recall correctly, holding someone against their will is a Federal Crime. If Shelly wants out she has every right to leave. CST is legally obligated to let Shelly leave.
Roland RoundFellow says
Really?
Are you sure about that?
If that is true, why doesn’t she just ask to leave?
I’m sure that Dave would be happy to let her leave. Don’t you think?
otherles says
Dave allowing Shelly to leave? Not likely.

@otherless,
Quite true, but the likelihood is in my opinion high that even if she were given the option to leave she would stay.
That said for strictly legal reasons it should be made 100% clear to her that the option to leave at any time is hers.
In fact, all Sea Org members should be made to understand that from a purely legal standpoint, the option to leave the Sea Org is theirs any time they choose to exercise that option.
