Apparently this is the latest “successful pattern” for finding people who can be lured into scientology.
The South Coast Mission — one of the best missions on earth according to scientology, is apparently trolling on line “Meetup Groups” to find suckers who can have their “ruin” found and then be offered some scientology service to “help with that.”
This is the modern day version of “Flirty Fishing“.
Interesting that the person organizing this Zoom meeting is Tom Woodruff, disgraced former International Finance Director of CSI. This guy once controlled the money of scientology (at the whim of David Miscavige of course). Now he is organizing Zoom meetings for a mission. Like the Class XIII bus drivers that came up the other day, the number of former executives that have been blackballed and designated “DB’s” is quite remarkable. I guess the tech doesn’t work so well on scientology executives. While scientology claims to raise IQ, cure disease, make you brighter and happier, it apparently cannot cure scientology executives of their DBness.

as your google search
Loosing my Religion says
Scratching the bottom I’ll say. It fits more to me.
It is like those guys continously looking for a wife or a new girlfriend on internet sites.
Just asking loudly that a disaster storms into their lifes.
By the way Tom Woodruff was my senior for a while. He is still in SO or out as public organizing these zoom stuff? Who knows?

Thanks civmar
Went there, had little success in over a half hour so gave up. Will try Google now.
Looks like a good site for other searches though.
Happy 4th of July
PeaceMaker says
I’ve run across Scientology using Meetup to set up groups like “Knowledge Seekers” to troll for new members – I’d say it’s another angle similar to what they do on Craigslist (and similar services) promoting support or “spiritual” groups, and maybe a sort of successor to the perennial “Now Hiring” signs that used to be in org windows.
Glenn says
Yes, that’s the one Wynski. Thanks much. Your bust must have been after Wendell’s term of office in the Flag GO cause those folks were beyond the reach of anyone outside of them.
I assume you saying you busted him while Flag Finance Dir was some post he assumed outside of Assistant Guardian Flag GO?
Wynski says
The GO was gone by 82. This was later and he was on an FB type post but it answered to the Int Finance Director at Gillman . WDC Reserves asked me to look into his activities when I was working for Janet Light at CMO CW.
Cavalier says
Wendell Reynolds was working at GO World Wide in the Finance Office in the early 80s, reporting to Herbie Parkhouse DGF WW.) . His wife Ellen was also there. I know that he was put on the RPF at least once during this time.
After the fall of the GO, he was raised up to the position of Int. Finance Dictator, taking part in the infamous 1982 California Mission Holders debacle. During this period he was also the senior of the Int. Finance Police, ushering in one of the most insane and shameful periods that Scientology had yet seen.
Somewhere in there he divorced Ellen and married Diana Coventry / Hopkins, a very glamorous lady.
He fell foul of Miscavige before long and did not last on his high post for very long.
I heard he got into heavy trouble after that but don’t have any details.
PartTimeSP says
I assume you’re aware that Wendell spent years in The Hole at Int? According to Mike and others, he wasn’t interesting in escaping because he was LITERALLY waiting for Ron to return and ‘take back over’. Though he did reportedly help Amy Scobee escape from Int, so there was that.
Wynski says
Wendall was busted off of IFD post in early ’83 and sent to CW. I believe Diana Hopkins was the one he cheated on with a young German gal. I knew Diana also. From the UK
ISNOINews says
O/T. Before Minister Louis Farrakhan’s speech today, Scientology Youth For Human Rights Award Winner Nation of Islam Brother Rizza Islam addressed the “Jew-ish people.” Among others things, he asked the “Jew-ish people” “ARE WE YOUR DAMN SLAVES?”

Happy 4th of July! I’m living in Canada, so Independence Day is working fine for me! The closest I will come to returning is when I go to the Embassy to vote in November.
To me, it’s amazing that Scientology misses so many sp’s and even makes them executives. So if you are promoted, you better pack your bags and work out your escape plan…..asap!
Aquamarine says
Yes, its funny. Work hard, dedicate yourself, focus all your time, money and effort into reaching the spiritual heights in Scientology, the absolute pinnacle of spiritual power and freedom and Mastery over the Mest Universe – achieve all of this at last, and then, reap your eternal reward; forever after operate in life with absolute certainty, utterly secure in the knowledge that you now have no where else to go but down.
Glenn says
Thanks for your input and info about the ex exes who are circling the drain these days, Makes me wonder what ever happened to the guy who headed up the Finance Bu Flag back in the 70s & 80s. Reynolds was his last name. His wife was Ellen. He was quite nazi-like so likely to be favored by DM.
Guess the idiot who wrote this promo piece had no idea what Standard Time or Daylight Time is. June is during Daylight Time yet they write the date as Monday June 22 Pacific Standard Time. Guess folks will show up at the wrong time
Wynski says
Wendel Reynolds Glenn? I busted him in the for seducing a Div 2 FSO staff member using stolen cash while Flag Finance Dir..
Glenn says
Yes, that’s the one Wynski. Thanks much. Your bust must have been after Wendell’s term of office in the Flag GO cause those folks were beyond the reach of anyone outside of them.
I assume you saying you busted him while Flag Finance Dir was some post he assumed outside of Assistant Guardian Flag GO?
Bruce Ploetz says
Wendell Reynolds? He was Commanding Officer Gold for a time in the 90s, not sure what happened to him after that.
It is said that “whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make insane”. At the Int Base it is “whom the Dave wishes to destroy he first makes CO Gold”. The list is long, from Steve Willet through many others whose names escape me right now.
Aquamarine says
If its true that we live again and again, and have lived already many lifetimes and been many identities and will be many more, infinitely – and I really don’t know – but if its true, if that’s what really happens, with all of us, and let’s say, unlike me, SOME people DO have reality on this, they DO know this, somehow – again, I don’t but, but let’s just say that some do – well, then, how utterly horrible to be David Miscavige. His future…is unspeakable. Unspeakable pain. Guilt, torment. Like those paintings of souls in Hell done in the Middle Ages. If its true, then that’s what hell really is. Its the mess, the sordid, sad, tangled mucky mess that one must sort thru and clean up in future lifetimes. Ugh. Prison this lifetime would be comparable to a slap on the wrist to what’s in store for someone like him, taking responsibility for all the pain and suffering he caused…in his next lifetimes…if its true.
No wonder the Christians so fiercely want it to be true that Christ died on the cross for our sins…wow, I’m getting this now, loud and clear. So thoughtful and considerate of Jesus to take responsibility for all of us this way. So easy, so convenient, what a relief. If only it were true. Yes, no wonder… I’m just musing out loud and going far afield 🙂
Aquamarine says
Happy 4th Everyone 🙂

Happy Happy Independence Day to everyone here, whether you are USA or not! And an especially happy one to all those here who were once In and are now OUT and freeing their minds and lives from the twisted snare that is Scientology. Welcome to the world in all its glorious imperfection!
This article shows us yet another of their efforts to scam everyone in any way possible. But doesn’t it feel great to be able to just *click* them out of your life? No locked doors, no frantic reges in your face.
Old Surfer Dude says
Hey Bridget!!! I’ve been delusional all my life!!! AND I LIKE IT!!!
Balletlady says
Happy 4th OSD…
Let it be known..”….That Of all the things I’ve ever lost…I miss my mind the most”….
BBQing up some hotdogs, burgers, grilled chicken wings….made German Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Cole Slaw…..& some beans….
As usual…we over ate…….Stay WELL…..HAPPY….HEALTHY…..
CELEBRATE THE FREEDOM FROM THE FORMER BONDS OF COS….
Old Surfer Dude says
I’m here!!! Balletlady, I’m here! And I want to be with you! The food sounds great! Gosh, I wish we could meet!
Balletlady says
One day, perhaps we will all meet! The food IS/WAS good….my husband, son, daughter, son in law had a great day……maintaining “social distance” as best as we could.
Any time we go “out” we use a mask….we have health issues so it’s imperative we do so. Trying to get by day by day & hoping everyone on the blog is safe & healthy.
One day we’ll have to discuss out surfing days……I “long boarded hanging ten” for many years off Long Island, Fire Island, Florida…& once in Hawaii at Diamond Head where my board was clipped “shooting the curl” by another surfer. We both survived (a big surprise to my friends waiting on the beach who said “we thought you were dead”……AHHH…I surprised even myself & walked away without a scratch….on the total OPPOSITE END of where I’d paddled out to ride that ONE TIME magnificent wave!
So much for taking risks…..I was referred to as “the Dolphin Whisperer”…..but that’s another story….
jere Lull (39 years recovering) says
Balletlady, you describe true freedom from the international criminal enterprise calling itself scientology, and I’m LOVING it.
Balletlady says
Dear Friend Jere,
Nothing pleases me more than to KNOW that you are FREE…..Yes recovery is so damned hard. When I worked for Social Services a group of us were trying to help a young lady who left FLDS…we got her a place to stay, food, clothes, got her into school for a GED.
After a few months she OPTED OUT & went back to FLDS…she could not bear to leave what she had lived her entire life….her mother, siblings, life. Despite all the work, time, effort, understanding & financial assistance…she couldn’t do it.
We heard through a “contact” as soon as she went back “in”…she was REMOVED from her mother’s home & sent to an undisclosed location. She was then “given to an older man in marriage” as his bride & pregnant right away.
So sad…..heartbreaking.
For you to breathe fresh air, be surrounded by GOOD caring people & having FREEDOM…nothing better! Stay well, stay happy stay free.
Briget says
“Delusional” enough to get the Hell Out when the going was good, OSD! Old hippies ain’t so dumb!
Old Surfer Dude says
No there not! And you’re right! Old hippies ain’t so dumb!!!!!
Good on ya, Briget!!! You’re awesome!
jere Lull (39 years recovering) says
Didn’t I hear a story how South Coast franchise’s ED lamented how bad the stats were, finishing up with “And we’re the BEST in the network!”?
In other words, I’m of the opinion that it’s not been a viable concern for some time; likely surviving only by the franchise holder’s or some whale’s paying the most necessary bills personally.
This “new” scam succeeds if it discovers ONE new whale to bail the place out.
It’s not really new; Tubby did something similar in the ’50s or ’60s IIRC.
jere Lull (39 years recovering) says
The gasping of an enterprise frantic to stave off the inevitable — for a brief moment, any moment they might just possibly obtain thereby.
Of course, the methods taught are the same failing tech, techniques, which have been failing them, but HEY! Maybe just this time, they might work.
How delusional can you get?
Old Surfer Dude says
Hey jere! I’m delusional!!! And it’s fun! You just can’t beat, ummmm, you just can’t beat, ummmmm…damn! I can’t remember shit!
balletlady says
SHOULD WE NOW CHANGE YOUR NAME FROM OSD TO ……………..CRS…
CAN’T REMEMBER SHIT????
Stay well & happy…my best to you & your family my friend!
Loosing my Religion says
OSD. Really laughing. Damn! Always riding the highest waves. Do great!
Old Surfer Dude says
You guys keep me going!!!
LoosingMyReligion says
OSD. Yeah. I will be with a few friends at the Rockabilly Beach Bar taking a few drinks. Let meet there when you are done with surfing.
Old Surfer Dude says
I’ll do my best!!!
Kronomex says
I’ve been wondering for years who this person Delusional was. When did you change your name to Old Surfer Dude?
Old Surfer Dude says
LOL!!! When I was delusional, things were great! And they still are!!!. Old Surfer Dude! Yep! That’s me…
jere Lull (39 years recovering) says
OSD, isn’t it GREAT that our inability to remember doesn’t degrade the quality of our lives one bit? And it’s even better that Thursday at 2PM don’t mean squat. (unless that’s when my next doctor’s appointment is, of course.) Stats?? MY primary one is how many times I smooched my gorgeous girl in the last day. She loves ensuring that that stat’s always in Affluence. 😉
