      Hi Aaron, I listen to you regularly and I am a bit surprised. The way you described Lou's looks in the beginning did not sit well me personally. Yes I get that she looks similar to Tom on the photo, but basically mocking her, calling her unattractive and man-like-looking seems a bit different from your usual thoughtful standard in speaking about women. Which I really appreciate. No offense to you, just my personal opinion about this part of the video.

      Yeah, people in power can do LITERALLY WHATEVER THEY WANT, probably even including murder. COB can "date" or fake marry or whatever to whoever he wants, it's not like that's going to affect his near-godlike status. He doesn't have to get "divorced," or have a fake wedding, or whatever. Men in power cheat and boink around, it's what they do.

  • @lindam9018
    @lindam9018 9 місяців тому +18

    Why would it be so much of a stretch for DM to have 'done away with' Shelly? We've heard that he is violent with people behind the scenes, we know he has a hair-trigger temper, is it possible he lost it and things got out of hand or during even a minor scuffle she hit her head or something? That would certainly explain all the weirdness about it but i don't know him, never been in Scientology, so what do I know? He seems to have all the markers of a psychopath.

    • @jenniferr8394

I think he had a rage fit, oops happened, and they've been doing this stuff ever since.

      Maybe I've watched too much true crime, but I can't help thinking the same thing. Any other rich guy whose wife disappeared would have cops crawling all over them, looking for her, looking for clues. Look at Barry Morphew, for instance.

    22:00 What your LA area ex Sea Org member believed, that Miscavige was just married to someone in his entourage, and no further thoughts relating to this, to me, "fits" all the boxes. a) Miscavige's narcissism. b) to be around him you don't even "go there" on his 2D to his former/current 2D partner (you get endless dissaffection "sec checking" to eliminate all dissaffection to anything to do with him) c) and just extend this cone of non discussion about his 2D life to even the "wog" world too, just keep anything he personally doesn't wish to discuss as off limits to even waste time taking up by ALL who wish to even be around him.
    BUT Aaron, I'd think you'd reach out to the former COB Office staff who are out, and who've even done media, like the other women who worked in COB's Office or in RTC and witnessed those years when there were special COB Communicators of various types. Tanya Lewis is out, she did TV shows on her escape even. Others who were in RTC and saw that team of I think four total communicators and then Shelly was COB Asst. There were the 1980s when that full team all worked together..
    Even in 1991, I was in INCOMM, and the INCOMM computer room with the servers was directly adjacent to COB's (Miscavige's) office space, meaning HIS desk, and then Carol's desk, and then another desk, the desks for Shelly, for Carol, for Tanya and then for the other one or two COB Communicators, all were within direct office space or adjacent room, to Miscavige's desk. This was for admin paperwork setup so he had the paperwork he demanded to be brought to him for approval.
    The paperwork upkeep around Miscavige, over the decades, would be important to list out, by the ex's of RTC who witnessed that paperwork, all the banker's boxes of submissions that came to him, that whole paperwork approval lines was policed and managed and the Secretaries and the Communicators and then Shelly, all had various parts to play in that final upkeep of stuff that HE wanted to follow him, trail him around the US when he went off to events, to DC during that time of the IRS settlement, etc.
    His paperwork he demanded to be kept up to date on, over the decades, and WHO in the COB Office were the paperwork gatekeepers and handlers so that he got ALL of the submissions' sub parts all brought to him for "approval" etc, all the RTC staffers on those lines, will know of the physical interactions.
    Also at RTC parties, up to the time s those last were held, all the RTC private gatherings, musters, awards, over the years, will be people who saw Misavige's daily interactions between Lou and Miscavige over the years.
    Meaning ask Tanya about whether she thinks Lou even was an "item" in Miscavige's mind. Shelly at least told someone, near the end before she got banished, she suspected something between Miscavige and Lou.
    But Miscavige's narcissism and those traits, mixed with what the RTC staff saw over the years, pretty much will be it. And what the people like Vallery Haney, the "service" people on Miscavige's lines, who saw how Lou got treatment her being around Miscavige all the time.
    But, it's all kind of much ado about nothing, in the bigger scheme of this Scientology outfit.
    Scientology is a crackpot pseudo-therapy and exorcism quackery subject. Miscavige is just a nasty paperpusher "strategic" "the buck stops here" at his narcissistic asshole role that he lives out, just due to Hubbard's crappy Sea Org and Hubbard's own personal flaws about how to "run" this Scientolog crackpot pseudo-therapy/exorcism practice.
    There are truly monumental undercutting issues about this whole nutball Scientology subject, which are the beliefs in the benefits of doing the Hubbard crackpot past lives soul memories alleviating pseudo-therapy and exorcism.
    Scientology when you wash away all the Hubbard ordered nasty dodging counter-attacking framework cult bureaucracy paperpushers with "strategic" authoriy which is shackled by Hubbard's own nasty framework and regulations, even if you set all this Miscavige era narcissism and his stuck in Hubbard's regulations, Scientology is still crackpottery at bottom.
    The soul theories of Scientology are at bottom what to me, that is why I was there. Are these soul theories conceivably true, do us humans have a soul that we are, at bottom, and through doing all the Hubbard stepladder of "auditing" (auditing is the crackpot pseudo-therapy supposedly aiming us to delve into our soul memories and alleviate ourselves of our past lives and all the "implanting" we've received in past lives, etc, etc) and then Scientology's "secret" (no longer, leaked and explained on the internet) "upper levels" of the OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exorcism of the R6 implanted "body-thetans" (invisible and messed up souls without bodies that infest all humans today) and only the Scientology super secret exorcism steps of OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 can even remove, supposedly, these surplus invisible souls off our human bodies, THAT all is what Scientology is.
    A person could just read up on the internet, ALL of the spread out materials leaked to the internet, of the past lives pseudo-therapy "commands' used when Scientologist do their pseudo-therapy on one another; and one could read up on the exorcism procedures and "commands' used when the Scientologists supposedly strip off all the "body-thetans" which supposedly attach to their human bodies, a person could cut through all the regulations and Miscavige enforcing of the Hubbard horrible regulations and control of the members, and just read up on the quackery soul pseudo-therapy/exorcism of Scientology, and conceivable DO the quackery on oneself.
    To me, that is the biggest not properly framed and considered issue basic to even getting one's head around scientology.
    Scientology is a pseudo-therapy and exorcism practice, bottom underneath all the cult bureaucracy horror show soap opera, and regulations that turns the members inside out into brainwashed followers who can't think straight anymore.
    Hubbard built this POS setup, and it takes a narcissist to keep it going.
    The fact that splinter Scientology is so tiny, and itself hasn't broken through even some of the Hubbard regulations they are stuck self enforcing on themselves, due to Hubbard's wide writings they even still adhere to, is a big subject to discuss, but not something really anyone is much interested in.
    Scientology is at bottom still this pseudo-therapy/exorcism subject, with this overattention grabbing followership/cult bureaucracy/regulations that straitjacket the followers and practicers of this pseudo-therapy/exorcism practice.
    The followers allowed to abuse themselves, goes back to Hubbard not setting up his movement to deal with the problems Hubbard ingrained and limited them from fixing.
    The Hubbard regulations status quo problem. The cult leader status quo regulations that limit the cult from fixing itself is basic.
    And even if someone wished to just DO Scientology, just find the "Doing the auditing/doing the exorcism" writings of Hubbard's, and just do the quackery on oneself, then that'd be the logical stripped down "Scientology" pseudo-therapy/exorcism guts of Scientology.
    Skip all the cult bureaucracy, narcissistic Hubbard "leader" "top banana" dictator and the followership regulations which are Hubbard's too.
    Just do the quackery, skip everything else. That's not a winner either, but that's to me square zero the type of "freezone" discussion that I've not even see any "freezone" Scientologists even game to take up. Most "freezone" Scientologists that Tony Ortega quotes on the Underground Bunker daily, sound nutball types.
    Scientology is a mess the more one looks into it.

    IMO DM seems to be a psychopath that is only interested in himself and getting his needs met. And who inside of Scientology will hold him accountable?
    Staying married makes him appear more stable to the outside world and more of a leader. Men use women for that all the time, that's why girls are groomed into dreaming about their wedding day from childhood. Having an official wife is a status symbol for men and many confuse it with ownership. He wants a clean image on the outside so that people don't ask questions.
    And he doesn't divorce her because then she wouldn't be able to claim marital status at interrogations. She knows enough to bring him down big time.

  • @HailToTheMeep

    No one can legally divorce someone who is dead. And you can’t remarry until former spouses are either dead or divorced. And why would anyone issue a death certificate if there is a murder, or accidental death? Murder is messy. But accidental death by definition is never planned? Why is it so hard for anyone to imagine this as a possible scenario given his history of physical violence and out of control rage? Or are you afraid of getting sued by Scientology for defamation?

I did it because I believed it was the right thing to do. I don't know, maybe I still do. Three months into my tour, a ten-year-old North Vietnamese boy walked into camp covered with grenades and I, uh... I blew his head off from a distance of ten yards. I lost my faith. Not in my country or in myself, but in everything. There was just no point to anything anymore. One night on patrol, we were, uh... caught... and everyone... everyone fell. I mean, everyone. I looked down... at my body... from outside of it. I didn't recognize it at first. I watched the V.C. strip my uniform, take my weapon and I remained... in this thick jungle... peaceful... unafraid... watching my... my dead friends. Watching myself. In the morning, the corpsmen arrived and put me in a bodybag until... I guess they found a pulse. I woke in a Saigon hospital two weeks later. I'm afraid to look any further beyond that experience. You? You are not. Your resignation is unacceptable.
    Aaron resigning from your ongoing investigation from Scientology is unnacceptable.

    The rumors of Miscavige and Tom Cruise sleeping together literally caused Queer as Folk to have to put a disclaimer on a joke in the show. Brian asks his partner, Justin, if he fucked Tom Cruise while Justin was getting a movie produced in Hollywood. Justin replied, "Everyone knows he's not gay." The writers wanted Justin to respond with, "He was busy," or, "I tried," but their legal team said the network and actors would get sued to oblivion by Scientology and/or Cruise if they said it, and they shouldn't use Cruise's name or had to make it clear that it would never be a possibility for Cruise to sleep with a man. It gives major methinks-thou-doth-protest-too-much vibes. Funny, considering one of the actors in that scene was straight, and the other actors Brian asks his boyfriend if he had sex with were also straight... none of them had a problem. It's like when people freak out about jokes about their penis being small. I think you might be telling on yourself.

    The spousal testimonial privilege precludes one spouse from testifying against the other spouse in criminal or related proceedings. Divorced couples don’t have this protection anymore.

    Here's my two cents. If Dave is getting his happy ending every so often, but it's gotta be secret, maybe that means she's gotta take off right after. In other words, he's got an excuse to not have to wake up next to her, or have lovey-dovey small talk afterwards.

    I think it is absoutely possible for Dave to still be married to Shelly and be with Lou. I know there was this absolute rule when A-A-Ron was in COS, but let's think about how every day Dave gets more and more narcissistic and aggressive with his own way and getting it, no matter what. He completely changed what LRH (for the most part) started as COS, so why would he care about what people think about his love life? And he knows no one will question him. They will always allow him to be and do what he wants because they are so brainwashed to think that anything he does is what's best for COS. Even Aaron admits no matter what people would have told him about Dave when he was in, he wouldn't have cared. He would have made it OK in his head because that's what cults and brainwashing do. I'm not sure why Aaron is so hellbent on this being impossible. I love Aaron, though! Don't get me wrong! :)

I almost cringed at the reference but Decided to be a badass and sit up straight, fighting my body‘s natural urge to recoil at the revelation 😅
    WAY better than my bed jokes. In my jokes nothing is happening
    But your “Lady Jerry joke almost scarred a visual into mind)
    Thank God I instantly attained the ability to squeeze this thought out from head, purely out of the instinct to stay sane 💪
    PS if you were raised in a cult (or like me you were a group home runaway who married your high school drug dealer 🤷‍♀️)
    Lady Jerry is Seinfeld episode that you can Google if interested
    Umm.. worth a Goggle IMO
    Once you pointed it out you literally cannot un-see it

    Kinda closed, nope, is bizarre to not think it ok to call a woman Lou - short for Louise, Louissa, Lulu etc.Happens appropriately all the time...and while I agree with you about the major issues re DM, stop making relationships be based on your perception of a woman's attractiveness. Relationships that endure are based on more than superficial looks.

    You need to get over the Lou thing... I knew a Louise who went by Lou. The mother of a friend of mine was named Peter... what would you have called her? And her middle name was Louise! But she went by Peter, not Lou. Hahaha. If they are OK with it, that's all that matters.
    The idea that a leader of a cult would be a hypocrite about an extramarital relationship is pretty much expected, isn't it?

    It wouldn’t be a stretch to assume someone is married in the non cult world. We are not hypersensitive to the rules you were raised with. It isn’t insulting to be said to be married if you aren’t. But it IS awkward to explain that you aren’t married but this isn’t your wife at your side. So he might have chosen to not correct someone.

    Lou wasn't involved directly with COB before 2004. I was closely involved with COB for years while Shelly was his right hand man so to speak. She was always right there with him through any time he went anywhere. Lou wasn't there with them. Though she may have been in his office staff. Uwe didn't die until 2007.

    I don't mean to kind of state the obvious, but divorce decrees are a matter of public record. It wouldn't be too difficult to find out if Dave and Shelly are divorced. It might be time-consuming because you'd have to figure out the state and county the divorce was filed in, but if they're divorced, there's a public record of it out there somewhere.
