This ad aired multiple during Sunday night’s episode of The Aftermath:
The woman “Sadie” IS a real person. She was at Golden Era productions in the Sea Org with her husband Axel (her husband in the ad).
Sadie is infamous for an incident at the base where David Miscavige commanded her to run over Marc Yager (then CO CMO International) in her car (she had a VW Beetle).
As any good Sea Org member at the Int Base would, Sadie jumped in her bug and started trying to run down Marc Yager. He literally ran for his life, and jumped off the loading dock that is part of the parking lot at the Castle. In doing so he injured his leg — whether he broke it or sprained his ankle I don’t recall — and was on crutches for some time thereafter.
Sadie was held out by Miscavige as a shining example of a “real” SO Member, someone who “complies” and “gets the job done without Q & A.”
Anyone who was at the Int Base at the time knows about this incident. I happened to be present.
Now, the astonishing irony of this is that Sadie and Axel were able to leave the SO and have a child because of the people who have appeared on The Aftermath — in particular Claire Headley who recounted her experiences with being coerced to have abortions in the media and in court testimony. Scientology changed their policy due to the exposure. The Aftermath is the reason Sadie and Axel are in the position they are in today outside the SO.
But both of them belong in the ex-SO Hall of Shame (along with quite a number of others who I will be addressing in the coming weeks in coordination with an upcoming episode of The Aftermath)– they left the Int Base and they KNOW what happened there. They have remained silent. People remain at that base who were formerly their friends and they continue to suffer abuse.
I woke up thinking about this today. It took a day to digest it all. That’s just the epitome of irony. But someone trying to run over Mark Yager because DM said to is just mind bending incomprehensible! That would have been my aha moment, my moment of clarity. Would any of you have done that thinking it was ok? I’m just wondering? Is Mark Yager still in?
I just read something and had to come back here and share it with all of you on the night before Thanksgiving:
“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and, crossing each other from a million centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
Yes! Love it. TY for that. Happy Thanksgiving Aqua. ☺?
It’s just me with another off topic but just want to say I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for all of you and don’t ever forget that many many many people care about all of you and wish you loads of happiness. 🙂
So many people have witnessed Miscavige performing criminal acts like the one mentioned here.
The orange jumpsuit will look awfully good on the creepy thug.
Dave is the new black.
Sadie wrote this in her bio on IMDB
“She became interested in the technical side of film making and made a 20 year career making films working as a 1st AC, makeup artist, casting director and finally directed some shorts.”
She fails to mention it was while she was at the Int Base working for the Church of Scientology.
I guess she is ashamed of this?
She wrote the BIO.

Sadie is part of this production by GFB Production. God, Family and Business.
http://www.gfbproductions.com/the-company/
Sadie started playing classical piano at the age of 4 and singing, dancing and acting shortly thereafter. She won a scholarship at age 10 to the Los Angeles Community School of Performing Arts and got a break in 1983 on the show Kid’s Incorporated. Theatre experience includes: Twelve Angry Jurors, The Glass Menagerie, Annie, The Sound of Music, I Remember Mama, Romeo and Juliet, Jeanne d’Arc, Ragtime, and On Golden Pond. Film work has been in excess of more than 100 productions. Sadie is a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography. She and her husband moved to the quiet Hi Desert in California to have their daughter who was born on Memorial Day in 2012. ‘
I guess I met her after she was on the 1983 show Kid’s Incorporated. wonder when all of the other film works was done.
The Sadie I knew was named Sadie Palewsky (Palewski?). We were both young teens in PAC. She was a riot of giggles and fun. Happy spirited and also a worry-wart. She and I spent time together and talked about this and that. Mostly we shared a lot of the hard work on the decks. I can’t remember why she was on the decks but I was there a while. Not the RPF, the DPF.
She is now Sadie Johannasson and has a daughter named Gracie. She reached out to me on FB a while ago (I think it was 2016) where I discovered her married name, daughter and that her parents are still alive. I am assuming now that she was raised in scientology. Maybe from Orange County? That sort of rings a bell.
It is unreal that she became who you report here. Not impossible: just UNREAL that a beautiful (she had braces and the best freckle face ever) girl would become such an awful person to appease David Miscaviage. I wonder if she is going to let her daughter join the Sea Org and go through what she did.
If she worked for DM, how ON EARTH did she get off/out and be allowed to raise a family? Do you think she was given $$? She says she is a Photographer and Actress.
What a blast from my past.
Every time I read a post like this I get an image of an adorable little puppy, full of life and and trust and love, so excited to just be alive and wagging its tail at everyone, pouring out its love for everyone and everything with absolute trust and no fear. Well, you’ve got a litter of them so you give this puppy to someone you think is going to be a good dog owner, someone who’ll take care of it better than anyone you know. But unbeknownst to you this person trains it to attack on command. All the natural friendliness and spontaneity, joy and trust the pup was born with get obliterated because the puppy is severely and repeatedly punished for demonstrating any of these qualities. It gets rewarded for fearing, not liking , NOT trusting and biting when commanded to do so.
A few years go by and you happen to be in this person’s neighborhood so you decide to drop in and visit for visit to see this person and the pup that’s grown up now, undoubtedly. You’re in front of the house but there’s a “Beware of Dog” sign on the on the gate. You ignore this because after all you gave this puppy to this person and although it has to be grown now, still, you know the animal. You know it loves you. So you lift the latch, walk thru the gate and proceed to the front door, and all of a sudden a snarling creature appears andi leaps right at your throat. Too late, you realize that THIS is your “puppy”.
That’s what this cult does to children.
They’re fashioned into creatures who attack on command – Miscavige’s command.
.
Damn Aqua! Powerful anology and completely spot on. (No pun intended)
I too knew Sadie when she was in CMOPAC, in fact I know her whole family. Sadie’s mom is Jean Essig. She was an auditor at Orange County Org, I audited her NOTS (OT V) in the 90’s. I was close with her mom for many years. They live in Yucca Valley next Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California. Sadie blew to her moms house a few times but was always recovered. Her mom called me last year, I guess she didn’t know Ibwas declared. Sadie probably told her I am declared.
It’s amazing the amount of abuse that some people are willing to tolerate on Scientology staff.
I was on staff in the late 70s and early 80s.
I never saw any physical abuse, but then I never personally met the Poison Dwarf.
If anyone had tried to run me or anyone else down or anyone else and I had been aware of it I would have been out-the-door so fast that all anyone would have heard is the whooshing sound.
I would have inserted my fist in their face.
Sexy Sadie, what have you done?
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie, oh, what have you done?
Sexy Sadie, you broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You can’t control when you must pee
Sexy Sadie, oh, you broke the rules
One sunny day she played Dave’s tool
She drove her bug to prove it too
Sexy Sadie (sexy Sadie)
The lamest (she’s the lamest) of them all
Correction: Change Sexy to Sexless.
Speaking of Gag Orders and Hush Money, etc, aside from all the “regular” abuses they want to conceal, could there also be anything involving sexual impropriety, as within Degeneratetower and Fundamentalist Latter Day Perverts? Whenever anyone wants to bust up a corrupt organization, the rule is Follow the Money. I say Follow the Sex. In any cultish outfit run pretty much exclusively by men, ya gotta know there’s Hanky Panky going on somewhere somehow in some fashion. Ya just gotta. Maybe I have a sick mind, but that’s how I see it. Other examples: Jim Jones, David Koresh.
And that’s how ya get ‘em!
Nothing wrong with following the money. But money is the strong point. Sex is the weak point.
I have a hunch that Hubbard became sexually impotent in the ‘sixties. He earlier alluded to sexual problems in his “Affirmations.” From what I’ve read there was originally a fair amount of hanky pank on the early days of the Apollo. Then at some point, Hubb started prohibiting it with his “out D2” dictum. Being the self-center SOB he was, I suspect his attitude was “If I ain’t gettin’ any, you ain’t gettin’ any either.” Just a theory; comments welcome.
Yes Bix I have had that thought before. I would bet that is true. Sounds just like how he thought!
Hi, Ann, another thing I should have added: He had the young female members of his Commodore Staff dress provocatively in skimpy hotpants outfits. This, on a ship full of horny young men. I think he took sadistic pleasure in teasing the men on board in this way – “look but don’t touch.” Given the circumstances, sexually deprived men at sea, you’d think he could (and should) have had his female staff dress conservatively. But Hubbard seldom missed an opportunity to inflict emotional and mental stress on others.
I agree, Bix. Hubbard got very negative about sex in his later years. Contemptuous about “bodies” too. Well, OK, maybe he couldn’t have sex anymore and maybe by that time he didn’t like his own body anymore either. Possibly he was really, really pissed off and resentful about being sick, and jealous of others who were healthy and young and full of hormones 🙂
Sadie was ever the loyal follower of Miscavige, always ready to jump at his command. Now she’s hawking Depends and inadvertently supporting LEAH and Mike. Ironic, yes.
B T W, A funny new comedy series on Netflix, ” The Sandy Kominsky Method ” starring Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin.
Arkins’ character : ” My grandson ? My grandson is a Scientologist. He doesn’t speak to me ,
because I’m a Suppressive Person ”
I literally L O L !
Damn, another SP in show business. Tom, handle him!
Hubbard’s creation of the Sea Org?! I thank my lucky stars I was ineligible, all thanks to one tiny piece of blotting paper taken in my misguided youth. I don’t feel qualified to comment really as to what occurred elsewhere as I wasn’t there but I know what I saw and I remember vividly how badly I was treated by the SO execs holding posts above me, by the arrogant teenagers in the CMO, the robotic mission personnel and the relentless regging. I knew some wonderful people in the SO but every one of them served as a servant to a higher power. Any friendship was impossible to maintain.
After a decade on org staff my attitude is that the whole of the Scientology organization needs to be disbanded and the criminals in it thrown before the courts. The sooner the better!
I disliked the Sea Org from the beginning and I had no idea why. It wasn’t the blue uniforms they all wore then, which resembled policemans’ uniforms. I had no problem with police or authority figures. It was just – “stay away from me” . Of course I didn’t SAY that. But I avoided them whenever possible, not trusting them and not knowing why. Strange.
It’s because of your whole track overts on the Galactic Patrol! ?
LOL! Thank you, Scribe. My nodule is floating.
Speaking of the Sea Org, I think its members could be used in a popular television show. All the producers would need to do is make some minor tweaks and call it The Walking Dead on Steroids.
One can dream.
I had a dream two weeks ago that my disconnected son walked up to me, his SP mother, and gave me a loving hug – the kind I got from him when he was a little boy, not the kind that I got when he told me to “be good” as he disconnected from me.
Nice dream.
Let’s make it come true Mary.
Should any ex out there feel they have to speak out, don’t be afraid.
Thousands did so before you:

I was just thinking we need to compile a list of sexual abuse swept under the rug and then get it leaked to the NY Times ☺
Are you on?
Run over that person with your car!
Thank You.
Run over that person with your car!
Thank You.
Run over that person with your car!
Thank You.
Repeat process until all persons who pissed off COB have been run over to very bad indicators, i.e. broken bones, severe internal injuries, death, etc.
This proves the fact that Dave has a real driving personality.
OTVIII – you are GREAT! Love your satire humor.
Just like Jim Jones ordering his followers to commit mass murder/suicide.
No different.
I guess that process is a natural progression of the “fist assist.”
Dave squirreled R2-45.
“…broken bones, severe internal injuries, death, etc.”
A Major Stable Loss.
I have to let off a little steam Mike so please bear with me.
First of all, Thank you Mike Rinder for posting this about Sadie. She belongs on the Wall of Shame along with the rest of high ranking officials and ex Scientologists who accepted gag order buy outs. The members took money from the victims still in Scientology in exchange for not speaking out and it Keeps Scientology Working, Families are destroyed because of your actions.
Shame on you Debbie Cook, Vicky Aznaran, Marty Rathbun and the rest of you high ranking officials who left Scientology and accepted blood money in exchange for silence (you know who you are).
How do you live with yourselves?
People like me and my family, were financially ruined so that David MIscavige had the cash to pay you to keep your silence. Our lives were ruined utterly and there is nothing we can do to get that money back. Our children went without and we suffered for many years and are still suffering.
It hurts!
Gag Orders in exchange for MONEY Keeps Scientology Working.
Thank you Mike Rinder for having enough integrity to not take money in exchange for silence. Look how well your life is working out.
Please – stop taking money in exchange for silence! This needs to be investigated by the IRS and Scientology needs to lose their tax exemption.
Okay – carry on!
Bamboozled etc, Excellent post. Thank you for that shot in the arm of honesty. “Gag Orders in exchange for MONEY Keeps Scientology Working.
“Thank you Mike Rinder for having enough integrity to not take money in exchange for silence. Look how well your life is working out.
“Please – stop taking money in exchange for silence! This needs to be investigated by the IRS and Scientology needs to lose their tax exemption.”
Powerful post. I hope you find what you are looking for, no matter what it is.
Bamboozled – you have a good point, but I’m not sure Debbie Cook belongs on your list of those who “accepted blood money in exchange for silence.” Before anyone thinks Debbie Cook sold her silence for cash, first read Mike Rinder’s blog of August 5, 2015 titled “Debbie Cook Revisited.”
https://www.mikerindersblog.org/debbie-cook-revisited/
Debbie Cook struck a strong blow on behalf of members of Scientology, then later she and her husband Wayne, with the able and timely assistance of attorney Ray Jeffrey, tried to defend against a herd of Scientology attorneys drawing their pay from the bottomless well of Scientology money.
It is important to remember that Debbie and Wayne were being sued by Scientology, not the other was around. Debbie was not looking to get money. Scientology sued, then did not want to continue their own suit once Debbie gave sworn testimony in open court about the abuses of Scientology.
But all along the way Debbie could have lost the lawsuit. She and Wayne would then owe tens of thousands of dollars, the penalty for the sending her famous “Debbie Cook Email.” On top of that, Scientology would be owed their attorney fees, plus court costs. The total bill for losing that lawsuit could have been staggering.
After Debbie testified, Scientology decided they wanted to settle rather than have even more of their dirty laundry aired in public under oath. According to a Clearwater Times article dated Apr. 24, 2012, “The agreement dated Monday allows both sides to essentially call it even and go their separate ways. Neither pays the other side money, and Cook and her husband are legally prohibited from ever again speaking ill of the church.”
So the net result was Debbie’s “four months she spent as a vocal church critic — highlighted by the three hours of sworn testimony she gave Feb. 9 [2012] which “accomplished her aims.” Debbie had done as much or more than any Scientologist in revealing many abuses of the church.
It is wrong to say Debbie Cook failed to speak out, just as it is wrong to say she sold her silence for cash. She and her husband Wayne put everything they had on the line in order to speak truth, and – partly due to the church’s paranoia – they barely avoided being crushed underfoot.
Also read Tony Ortega’s article of 1-1-2017:
https://tonyortega.org/2017/01/01/five-years-later-debbie-cooks-indictment-of-scientology-under-david-miscavige-annotated/
Okay Ammo – and thank you for that information and now I do agree with you.
Debbie Cook did do a lot of damage with the videos.
You reminded me again of those videos, which I will use with my family and friends still in Scientology.
They were a catalyst of me leaving for good.
Thanks Ammo!
I can’t tell you how sorry I am, no one should ever be treated that way, especially by their own church.
I don’t know if there really is such a thing as Karma.
But there might be.
Those that have been paid off to hide wrongdoing should give it some thought.
There’s only one truly safe path.
Bamboozled, there is no doubt that more should speak out. But the money is not the only issue.
Some have “dirt” in their past that the OSA goons can hold over their heads. When the only way out of something is to confess a crime, you tend to exaggerate a bit or drag up something just to get the confession session over with. All these confessions are in writing. OSA can just go through your old folders, drag something out and make it sound really bad. It doesn’t have to hold up in a court of law, all they need is enough nasty innuendo to nuke your job interview or estrange your family.
Some would be gone in an instant and telling their story if not for a relative, spouse, co-worker, boss or someone they love that is still in. Regraded Being has made much of the situation where both spouses are ready to quit but are staying in because each doesn’t know the other is wavering. Disconnection is a primary weapon for OSA.
Some have left Scientology but brought it out with them. Maybe they object to the abuses but still feel there is value to it. Maybe they haven’t really examined it skeptically. Maybe the thought-stopping phrases still resonate in their heads. That was me for years, unfortunately long past the statute of limitations for abuses I suffered. In this case, they are out but still thinking they will have to get back in some day, or after Miscavige is gone, or after paying tens of thousands of dollars for “freeloader debt” and groveling to get back in. Any public statements would make the road back impossible.
I think most are just trying to get their lives back together. Coming out of a cult with little more than the clothes on your back, no credit history, no network to rely on, emotionally and spiritually damaged, no resume, no retirement savings, outdated or nonexistent marketable skills, no car and no license is hard for all but a few.
By all means they should tell their stories but I can’t condemn them for doing it on their own schedule.
The one exception, for anyone in this situation who might be reading this, is any recent actionable knowledge of illegal acts.
Even if you have to do it as an anonymous tip, law enforcement needs to know.
Holding someone against their will is a crime. So is cheating the IRS, Workmen’s Compensation insurance fraud, Medicare fraud, failing to report income (your food and housing counts as income if it comes as a condition of employment). There are labor laws.
There are laws against elder and child abuse. There are laws against human trafficking. If your passport was held in an inaccessible location there is a good chance that you were a victim of human trafficking.
You may not know how these laws work and you may have been told it was all good by someone. It probably wasn’t. If you wait a year or two to report these who knows how many others will be victimized? This is one of the ways they get away with brutal criminality for decades. Those who know are too afraid to tell until too late.
It would be a better world if people like Pat Broeker and so on could speak out. Every year the public learns more about it and the dangers lessen. But they are still there.
Bruce – All Very good points and I appreciate what you have to say. It does all matter and helps me understand others so I can let go of the resentment and regret.
Thank you.
Disagree strongly about Debbie Cook Her surprise email to 12 thousand Scientologists was not only “creative” but courageous in the extreme. And Scientology sued her for doing that and she showed up and told the truth in court about the abuses she’d observed which are now a matter of PUBLIC record. COS hasn’t sued anyone since. Debbie Cook was highly respected and listened to in the cult and what she did with that email created a huge effect. I don’t have any problem with her accepting a settlement from Scientology. Her health was wrecked, she was broke and being sued by a indefatigably litigious, vengeful, cult with a billion dollars at their disposal. .She was brilliant. By luck or by design she maneuvered them into suing her and THEY backed down. THEY caved because they couldn’t handle any more of the truth getting out there. She deserves sincere thanks, not censure. Bravo, Debbie. Well done!
As someone else wrote, I covered this subject in my blog.
The difference with Debbie from the rest is that she spoke and scientology sued her. She was never after money. Her damage is lasting and that toothpaste will never be put back into the tube.
Mike – yes, I can see that now. She did do some serious damage – very true. She got me to leave for good. I wish she would go on the show with you and Leah.
I am sure she wishes she could too.
Death by R2 automobile (alluding to R2 45, ” exteriorization[death] by 45 caliber pistol ).
All joking aside, think about what happened: Dave gives the murder command, and a
” good SO member complies without Q&A “, which is scientologese for a dog immediately obeying its master without hesitation, doubt, or protest. Scientology ” scripture ” is loaded with this kind of extremist, violent, over-the-top shit, from disposing of people ” quietly and without sorrow” to ” controlling governments ” to ” eliminating ‘psychs’ and psychiatry “.
It’s this kind of shit that motivated the German government to-correctly-label scientology a national security threat decades ago. The cult’s documented 6 decade international legacy of crime confirms the accuracy of their assessment.
Thanks for today’s post!
Amen, brother!
Spot on ^^^^^ Mark Foster. Hubbard even figured that one out as he hypnotized his followers. Ole Tub o Lard calls this the “stimulus response mechanism”
“In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.” MLK
I can’t view the ad you linked here but I personally know several people who reap benefits because of The Aftermath seasons and episodes.
The church is actually allowing many people to quietly disappear stop doing anything in scientology without being harrased or KRed.
I was quietly trying to move away and the chirch wouldn’t leave me alone. “Do this. Do that. Give here and there. It’s your duty to be on staff or OT Committee. Come to a briefing or else.”
Now the church leaves you alone if you’re OT and just disappear. This is thanks to Mike and Leah and forerunners. David miscavige is hanging onto whoever he can. He can’t have another person appear on one more show, blog, documentary….
He could ask to be on the Aftermath to give his view..?
Uhmmmmm…….
😉
Dave, your suffering will be legendary, even in Hell.
Mary too bad he didn’t start with the new policy of let them leave quietly before I lost my two kids and you lost one of yours. This change ifor the better s because of Mike, Leah, Karen, Jeff, and all who have spoken out and all of us here who post.
Good point Mary . 5 years later , one can just stop being a scientologist with little or no consequences. It seems to depend on their particular circumstances , and I would bet money plays a role as well as the fear of more people appearing on the show.
Happy Thanksgiving to you , it is kind of an anniversary for us , isn’t it ?
I hope Cathy’s turkey turns out dry and inedible . Haha
Yes. She’s got her son now that he’s out of the SO and her grandchild from him, thanks to the series and Claire Headley and Laura D.
She’s a traitor to me, you, and Leah’s mom, Vicki, but she suffers little because of her actions against us.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Marie.
I, too, know of someone and his wife who left the Sea Org because they were expecting a child. He and his wife and child and grandparents also enjoy their lives together and don’t speak out, read the internet (any more), watch The Aftermath or make waves. Yea, thanks for nothing.
OMG – Sadie was a Scientologist and her abilities gained are:
“the ability to talk about my bladder leakage problem and show the World I can wear Adult Diapers”
with no HE&R!
Talk about good TR’s!
VWD Sadie!
POW! WHAM! BAM!
Thank you Leah Remini and A&E!
The ads on A&E with Leah Remini are such effective BLOWS to the Church of Scientology.
We have been watching them all week.
We are getting empowered by these ads – to do something about Scientology.
Thank you Mike and Leah. We are coming out of apathy and are relieved something is being done about this evil organization disguised as a church – doing harmful, criminal acts daily and getting away with it.
1967…Sea Org is created. Commodore Gilligan is back on the water. Everybody get outta the way!
1968…Commodore’s Messenger Organization (CMO) is created to serve Gilligan, including such important tasks as “lighting his cigarettes”. Comprised of…excuse me…WHOM??? Pre-teen girls wearing hot pants, tie tops, knee-high socks, and platform shoes.
Absolutely nothing weird or creepy about that.
Do they not realize that they have supported Aftermath and the work against the CoS? Without sponsors, there’s no show. Sponsors pay and ultimately support the show on which their commercial airs. Uh-oh….RPF anyone?
1. Scientology
2. Watchtower
3. FLDS
“Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, it’s SHARIA in the USA!!!”
Prison planet is only a prison if you make it so. I choose to live free and speak about abuses. It’s what those of us do who wish positive change. It’s what the founding fathers of the United States did alongside the Revolution generation. Yes, I said the kryptonite word of Scientology: Revolution.
Those are some good apples, going to make some apple pie for Thanksgiving now.
Has anyone here known a “Barbara” (I think that was her name) and she was a Producer at Golden Era in the mid-90’s. I was wondering what her status is now, if she’s still in or out. She had said she was married and even mentioned she “occasionally” got to see her husband. This was before I knew anything much about them, pre-Internet, and worked as an outside contractor. I worked very briefly for them, until the creep-out factor made me get the heck out of Dodge stat.
That is true, you mentioned an area that made me feel sad just now: I still remember my friends at FSO, specially the auditors, and some are still there surviving one way or another.
This Blog, the Aftermath and several other actions are still standing up exposing the criminality of this cult…As Sadie, many other would be helped so, lets continue and thank you.
Sadie’s obviously got some big overts on water. Her dependence on depends has left her no defense and now she’s drowning in the deep end.
She pulled it in alright 🙂
Does that mean she’s now dependable?
Scribe, you’re too much. I really needed some laughs today. Thank you 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, such as it is for those suffering from Disconnection.
Sunlight is pouring in, though.
Like Yogi Berra said, “Nothing is over until its over.”
Glad I brought a little laughter in your world Aqua. Depends is a perfect metaphor for Scientology. Like adult diapers, when people in the cult have been used up, they too become expendable.
Sadie complying with Miscavige’s order and attempting to run down Marc Yager with her VW beetle, and Sadie being given this ad work, boy, I wonder who the agency/casting people were who played ball getting Sadie and husband this work.
Sure does smack of payback to her for being on board.
Thanks for re-telling it.
This is an incident (Sadie trying to run down Marc Yager in her car complying to Miscavige’s order) should not be ever forgotten.
I wonder who she knows to get that job? Leave the SO and get on a national ad? And her ad is paying for the aftermath? that is so ironic? I don’t know her from adam but I’m sure she’s beginning to deprogram by now? No? Sheeeeesh.
Ironic yet moronic, I need more gin and tonic!
Great post Mike and I agree. Everyone who knows what Scientology IS now needs to do something; overtly or covertly.
Be the SP that LRH feared and write about.
He tells you how to do it. You may as well use the tech ON Scientology.
Come on SP’s.
Let’s take down this cult!
The only weapon to destroy Scientology is the truth about Scientology, Hubbard and DM.
The biggest SP that threatens Scientology is the truth about Scientology.
A&E has a series called Cults and Extreme Beliefs. A&E is the greatest truth teller in this time period about cults.
I recommend everyone watching the series.
There is a very creepy similarity between all of these malignancies.
I’m so glad our society is evolved enough to take on this disenfecting.
The light of awareness shined on these cults will help be their demise.
Personally I have always thought that the Scientologists who went out to LA (in the late 70’s) to do OT 3 and then instead of coming back and warning us that it was a stupid comic book about some intergalactic warlord named Xenu, they come back and walked around as if “they knew something” and were “powerful beings” – these are the most shameful Scientologists of all. Assholes.
Surely they must have done this because they were ashamed to admit they had been taken for a ride?
Guilty. But brainwashed.
Getting out is a lesson in standing up for what one really believes – at least to the extent one even knows what that is.
@zenater, we were ashamed that we had been duped and we were also told that we would lose our eternity if we told anyone. Not sure I walked around like I knew something, but I knew I was thinking that the next level had to be the answer because OTIII sure wasn’t.
Losing one’s eternity is not something I’d be afraid of. As William S. Burroughs famously said: “When you’re dead, you’re just dead.” I’d definitely take non-existence over going to hell forever. If you’re dead, there’s no “you” to regret losing your eternity, so what’s the problem?
The problem is that is just his opinion. He had never died, so didn’t know, anymore than anyone else, what happens after death.
That’s true, nobody alive knows and can prove it. But then, hell fire everlasting always seemed ridiculous and impossible to me. Evn leaving aside the question where hell actually is located, what’s burning? Wood? Where does the wood come from? or the coal. Bodies? Peoples’ bodies are in the ground or cremated so how can those be keeping the fire going? Something has to keep the fires burning, if they are actually fires. Peoples’ souls burning? Interesting concept, but do you know of anyone who can start a fire with someone’s soul? Neither do I.
Then there’s heaven. Sitting on clouds…somewhere…up, somewhere…angels playing harps…for eternity. That’s it. Nothing else happening. Well, I don’t know about you but if I thought that’s all I’d be doing for eternity I wouldn’t be too pleased. Talk about boring.
Respectfully, none of this stuff dished out to us in Sunday School ever indicated to me and thank God it never took hold in my then very trusting and impressionable mind. Today I truly pity anyone who gets manipulated to do things or not do things out of hope for the latter, or fear of the former.
Ouch. Dms going to need an extra mix of dissociation counselling. Start him with hard TRs on the ship and add Rum as requested.
It will be good when there are a few more witnesses but I ‘heard’ that the nondisclosure payments are made monthly and of course stop If the x speaks out.
I can’t blame an X for taking awhile especially when the important job is raising a child but at some point on the real road to health and happiness comes reconciliation for yourself and others.
When I left I reached out to Drew Robb. I had stood by and done nothing as his uniform was ripped off him by James Byrne in front of the PAC morning muster. I apoligized for saying nothing and asked how he and his wife were. He did not have a clue that anything wrong had been done. I felt I was reaching in from some other universe that luckily I’d not left. It wasn’t untill I read Amy’s book that I could see I was not the crazy, dilitaunt, degraded being, no case gain as claimed. The Sea Org is a mad house. So glad I’m out. I’m thankful for the thousands that are standing up to undue influence and educating themselfs and others. It could be as simple as living with someone who pretends they don’t hear what you are saying and pretty soon, one stops speaking or forces themselfs into a better environment. Try pulling off something like that in the Sea Org. LOL These x staff that are coming out and speaking out … I know how hard it is. Thank you so much xoxo
Attention LURKERS and OSA:
If someone wants to be a Scientologist still after all of the documentaries, books and docuseries available to them…then they choose to ignore the truth. They choose to be willfully ignorant and morally irresponsible.
People are getting hurt.
We want you to know that we are watching YOU and will report all of your out ethics and true conditions to the World including but not limited to:
Bankruptcy
Financial Ruin
Divorced
Criminal Financial Irregularities
Out 2-D
Abusive behavior to others
Job less ness
Musical Chairs – moving from Org to Org trying to find relief – ending up in Clearwater where you live in a bubble of delusion.
The World is going to see your true condition and you will not be able to hide it as long as you remain in the Cult of Scientology.
LURKERS – your pretending to be okay when you are not is gaslighting. People are getting hurt! You will be held responsible for ignoring the truth.
We will not stop until Scientology is shut down and the leader in prison.
Thank you Leah Remini – your ads on A&E are empowering us all to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Ok, that is beyond ironic. Sadie is involved with supporting Aftermath. I’m sure she will take her residuals from the commercial and put them towards her bridge as she will have to report that she was indirectly on the Aftermath show. Mike you and Leah are becoming ubiquitous.
The current day Abraham and Issac story shows just how insane the tiny god Miscavige is. Like Hubbard like son. Sick.
Mike – we totally agree with you and thank you for saying what we have been feeling for many years.
We are hiding UTR because we have a lot of family in and it would be too devastating to us to lose them right now….but we work diligently and very covertly to get people out of Scientology – very quietly without notice from Scientologist’s. You don’t have to trick anyone either – you just get them the truth. Get creative.
In the past 5 years – we have been successful to put 4 people in such a state of doubt – they are staying FAR away from Scientology. We got a few more people to leave staff. Some moved far away.
We have figured out a way to get the Scientologist’s to look. If they will look – they will leave.
You just have to use your rational mind and figure out ways to DO SOMETHING ABOU IT!
We feel it is a humanitarian duty.
We all got into Scientology to help. So please – HELP!
I don’t get the ex members, especially the OT’s, that just sit on the sidelines – no deprogramming for themselves and they do nothing to help anyone.
It is not okay to do nothing and pretend like one does not know.
That is what we all did in Scientology.
Lurkers – get out there and do something! People are getting hurt.
Suppress Scientology today and every day until we get that tax exempt status yanked and their policies exposed to the World so no one gets sucked in and trapped and gets hurt.
Thank you Mike, Leah and all of you out there that have taken on this battle. You are true humanitarians.
Insouciant,
Perhaps a hat write up sent to Mike and posted to help others learn your winning strategy would be a nice xmas present for all of us Ess Pees on the fringes!
Also, since I have two kids still in and I am way above the radar screens, having someone on the inside could provide some insight on where they are and what they are doing. Any help is appreciated. Mike has my contact info ……. mum is the word.
Insouciant, I think that’s so wonderful what you are doing! Keep fighting the good fight. We are with you!
“You don’t have to trick anyone either – you just get them the truth. Get creative.”
THIS!
Is your hat write up.
These are covert operations
Wouldn’t be too swift to detail them on a public blog that OSA reads, now would it? That might just defeat the purpose.
Think of the person or people you want to LOOK, and figure something out.
Get creative!
Insouciant, Good job to be slowly getting people to look. I would love specifics on how you get them to look, the more specific, the better. We could all start doing that. Also since you are still “in” technically, could you get my email address from Mike and contact me? I want to know which orgs my kids are on staff at and whether they married and anything I can find out about them. You might know of them.
This breaks my heart. I truly hope you all find what you are looking for. Keep up the great work guys
Perhaps it’s just me, but that seems an odd choice for one’s “acting” career, yes? Total tone 40 after slipping on the underoos.
Why can’t auditing handle her involuntary urine leakage?
It depends.
???? Scribe!
This caused me to bark out a laugh. Haha, scared my chihuahuas!
?
🙂
Because Dave has not completed his WHY finding on it and besides, the program has too many exclamation points that need editing.
Yo Dave,
Gag on it good buddy.
Newcomer, I hear Dave is partnering with Depends as they both have a shared problem regarding leakage.
Miss Q,
Dianetics (through the mind) and Scientology (spirit issues) never came close to doing anything effective regarding body health and healing. In the 60s i was chided for practicing tai chi and weightlifting. In the 70s I as questioned about my profession being a case of mixing practices ( radiation safety, industrial hygiene, and
medical healing). Even on the word clearing co-audit with a twin who also had science and electronics degrees we kept being called into Qual or the examiner to answer the C/S’es question: “What are you doing?”
Cults always discourage every/any practice that is not included in their litany. My ex, a nurse and class 8 OT7 tried to audit out her breast cancer. She died at 47.
Forget auditing it out, given what’s PROMISED about the state of Clear and then further up what’s PROMISED about operating as an OTV, what should have amazed your ex was that she got breast cancer in the first place.
Excellent question! No MEST there, just … a mess.
Sadie and her husband might get sec checked or even declared just because their commercial was aired on Aftermath. I doubt if either she or her husband had any control over when the commercial aired, but that means nothing to Lil Davey. All he would see is two of his minions working alongside Leah, Mike, and other SPs. They will be lucky if a dime of their fees are left after paying for the services they are suddenly required to buy.
I wonder if some clever and devious UTR who once suffered at the hands of Sadie or her husband managed to get that commercial aired alongside Aftermath, and multiple times, even. That could put a kink in any B, C or D level celeb’s career, never knowing when or if their work would appear alongside an Aftermath special or episode.
“Why can’t auditing handle her involuntary urine leakage?” Well, I’ll tell you, if I paid big bucks for auditing for this problem and it didn’t work, I’d really be pissed!
Stop it Bix! Lol ? Happy Thanksgiving.
Okay; I’ll shut up. For now. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Ann
