Приєднався 1 кві 2023
Janis Gillham Grady worked with L. Ron Hubbard on a daily basis for years, since the age of 12, on the Flagship Apollo as one of the original Commodores Messengers. Her mother, Yvonne Gillham Jentzsch, opened the original Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood and was a much beloved figure. Janis worked with current Scientology leader David Miscavige and his wife Shelly Miscavige, until escaping with her husband in August 1990 due to abuses by Miscavige.
Mark Fisher joined Scientology at age 14 and worked in the Sea Organization while Hubbard was alive and directly for David Miscavige for over 6 years, heading up Miscavige's personal office at the secret International base until escaping in September 1990 due to the abuse going on.

Secrets from Dan Locke's Scientology Journey
Scientology is a front for Thelema. I wouldwager the leadership are all OTO initiates.
I was told that someone recognized a family member from one of my streams I did at the blue building
Great interview! My dad got a wicker chair and table from Homer when was joining the Sea Org and he gave his furniture away.
I have watched so many of these episodes and I still can't figure out what the auditing is all about. And also what was it that drew all of these people to scientology. What is the point of scientology ? I mean this as a sincere question.
Thanks Linda. We talk a bit about it on this video with Ant, but I think we should do a more in depth video on Auditing. What it is and how it worked. Janis will be back in a few weeks and we will do it in the near future. Thanks for watching!
52:35 I found the Dane Tops letter on the Internet. I got the PDF. Fascinating 26 pages. If you want, I'll send it Janis.
44:50 I did not know that Janis!! Yes, it makes perfect sense.
In Scientology, the highest freedom one can achieve is being declared suppressive. It should be on the Grade Chart.
I love seeing all the old pictures and hearing the history from those who were there. I hope my mind is a sharp as when I reached that age
Op Pro By Dup is a great process when run right. In the late 80s there was a group at CC that was an acting group that had an improv activity called Opera by Dupe that was quite popular but was shut down by the LRH Comm because she said it was "joking and degrading". Pissed off a lot of people.
This was a good interview. Personally i appreciate that Mr Miscavige has codified the existing processes and focused more on cleaning up and sorting through all the stuff LRH did. Things are much more exact and understandable now in my opinion.
Wow, Janis, that will be awesome. Have a great cruise. Can’t wait to hear about it when you get back.
The cruise sounds exciting...for a cruise. 😅Thanks, again, so much for Ant!
Thanks for watching everyone. Some great history here for your information.
Early posting ?
Yes up early! LOL
Liquid vitamin 😊
Great episode, Homer Schomer!!! His story is incredible, so many posts, back and forth, up and down the org board, there is no way to include all the interesting details. I wondered how Homer got into ASI and what his ASI highlights were?
Amazing information and awesome to hear from Homer.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MarkFisherandJanisGillhamGrady Good job on good questions during the interview from Mark. Well done guys.
A consistent theme to all of these scientology stories is that the parents are willing to give up their children to pursue scientology. I will never understand that.
Love this channel!!
Thank you so much!!!
Welcome back JGG . Did you see Cooper ?
Natalie fisher became the LRH Com for AOLA back in 1972 or 1973.
My wife worked with Homer at ASI and part of why she wanted to leave Scientology was how Miscavige abused Homer.
Just awful so sad
I knew Carl Carlson as the CO OF ASHO Foundation and he was a very high ARC executive who the crew very much admired. I saw so many flag programs that targeted good competent people as the "who" for down-stats. Generally the real reason for downstats in orgs was insistence on compliance to unrealistic flag programs that were based on poor information sent uplines from exasperated staff members and flag representatives.
I had not heard the scabies story before. Interesting. For info, one does not get scabies from sitting in the grass--It cannot live in soil and incubates on humans for some time before symptoms or signs. This parasite lives only on humans and does not go between animal and human. Poor hygiene circumstances for whatever reason typically underly infestations such as homeless groups, etc., and is very contagious, as described here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8308645/
Homer! Was just thinking about you and here you are. You look fantastic!
On replay and another great stream. Good for Homer allowing himself the freedom to speak❤❤
Scientology aside, it’s actually a pretty good song.
That’s sad about LV blowing up older casino’s that my dad designed
Enjoying the replay
Another great interview. I love hearing the stories from the early days.
Thanks for listening
Butterflies are Free...that's a blast from the past! So many stories that need to be heard. There is far too many waiting/hoping to be reconnected. As always, thank you so much for sharing - looking forward to Part II. You are all so strong! ❤
Thanks very much for watching. We appreciate it!
Question: I know he loves his daughter very much... but did he question or make sure she got a proper education? Where was the responsibility in all that? She had been basically fending for herself since she was 10... and did she actually do the RPF as a kid? The facts on that that were not clear as you all jumped to something else. What happened?
Thanks very much. We will be taking your question up and this subject up in the next video. We like to let people tell their stories and then we ask questions about looking back and any regrets etc. Thanks for watching.
49:00 Gold old Paco
44:30 Charlie Rush was the funniest 😂 TR0 bullbaiter ever. He would have the entire course room busting up. Sometimes doing TRs could be a break from the turmoil of post… if you ever got a chance to do your 2.5 hours of enhancement. Mark made it go right to get his time in. Compliment to Mark: you seem to have taken your time in Scn and made the best of those experiences. Not all of us have been as successful in our mental and emotional aftermath.
43:50. RIP Russ Meadows. Did he remain in Scientology?He, Dennis Ehrlich, and Frank Riemer had a band in LA named Shuman and the Humans. I never thought to ask them if they used that name as an homage to you, Homer. Do you know anything about Bonnie Meadows? Have not heard of her since she and Russ went to the Apollo.
Bonnie and Russ broke up many many years ago. Bonnie must have passed away around 2018. I last saw Russ when he spoke at the Celebration of life for Bill Frank. Russ passed away Feb 2 2020.
@@janisgrady Thanks, Janis
14:15 Hope Laurel is doing well.
13:15 Good old Chuck Murray. Hope he is doing well.
Love your interviews - thanks for another great video!
Glad you like them!
Oh man!! I am so glad that Homer is telling his story. Last I saw him he was not very healthy. I met him at Flag as the Treasury Officer, and worked with him a shot time. When I heard he was missing from Flag, it added to my urge to leave as well.
Just finished. It was another great episode! I hope Homer’s message gets to his family and a connection is made soon! 🙏🏻💕 PS: Your channel is such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you both Mark and Janis! 🫂
Thanks so much Betsy Sue! We appreciate you watching. More Homer coming soon.
Janis, have you & Tory done a video? If no, I'd love to see that❤
Yes we have! Here is a link to the video for you. ua-cam.com/users/live63K9yS43DmE

I knew an old timer that got into $cio/Dianetics to handle neuralgia. He had previously received injections of gold flakes into his blood. He would twitch compulsively during TR0 until it stopped. Day after day. Don’t know what became of him.
Mirror Man and Rag Lady.
23:46 I walked through MacArthur Park in 1972 at 2:00 AM multiple times with no problems. It was a bad part of town, but as Ed points out there were plenty of Scientologists. I may have passed him on the street plenty of times.
10:30 Laurie Noonan! Been trying to remember her name for decades.
7:15 In 1972 I rolled into Tommy Burger at 4:00AM and the line was still 20 people deep.
