Reposting... this is one of the articles mentioned in Mr. Jeffrey's letter. Worth a read.
Fair Game: Leveling the Playing Field in Scientology Litigation

Thanks again, and if anyone is reading this (ha!) here's the link to the other fantastic article

Both are obviously things anyone litigating Scientology should have and use.

Great, TY!

Thanks for that, its really cool.
I especially like the repeated use of "Church[sic] "

I loved that part too! ;) The author does it again and again.

OK - what about this scenario - taken from Lawyers.com, "If the case is close to trial the court may be reluctant to grant permission for dismissal if it'll delay the proceedings unless the court finds you have good cause under the circumstances to discharge your attorney." The question of course is how close is close? In legal terms this could be a lot further away than I might imagine - non?
As far as I am aware, the court hasn't actually granted permission yet, and will Monique have to show good cause?
Maybe a lawyer here knows the answer?

Good questions. I am particularly interested in what Judge Waldrip will have to say to the Rathbuns. If indeed they are proceeding without legal counsel, he will most likely take great pains to explain to them exactly how dangerous this is. I know we can't know what is said "in chambers" but something will end up on the record about it.

If there's still anyone around here's a post from ICSA about cult myths.

Myth/Misconception: Once you leave a cultic movement, you can/should just move on with your life—don’t look back.
Reality:

Most helping professionals agree that understanding one’s experience helps reduce the impact of the trauma.
Some people cannot reflect on their experience—trauma disables.
Currently there is much discussion by helping professionals of the neurobiological impact of trauma.
There is no “one size fits all” rule about the benefit or harm of trying to understand, or when an effort to understand is best.
Former members may go through stages similar to the stages of grief: denial, resentment, fear, interest, reflection/acceptance. The stages do not necessarily move in a fixed, linear order, and they are not universal.

Interesting site.

This sandwich is the best thing I've encountered all week. Truth

Sometimes a baloney sandwich makes all the difference.

Eventually the Rathians team up on you and make your adventure frightful. You know this.

He's channeling his inner Rathfulness.

I'm going to sit in the car and watch my son's footy training... air-con is calling.

Stay cool, EO.

It's Thursday now. Keep refreshing.

Yikes!

From another board:
Q: Why do so many people take an instant dislike to Ted Cruz?
A: Because it saves time!

Cruz oozes creepy.

Cruz oozes is just plain fun to say.

I can not remember a 'leader' coming out of Iowa, who had built so much enmity from colleagues (in this case other US senators, including those in his own party). Sounds like that in person and real life, Cruz is a really unpleasant person.

Recent aurora activity has been beautiful. While not much can be seen from the Tromso sky cam, the Nasa sight has many recent photos that are breath taking. I share my appreciation of what I consider an awesome natural phenomenon, as a reminder to show appreciation for Tony's post - today the demonstration of a great legal repel move to deflect an aggressive Co$ legal attack - and today's comments. There are 167 'Recommends' - if you appreciate today's post and/or the comments - and haven't yet recommended - please recommend. Just click 'Recommend' right under the comment count. The heart (next to recommend) beats with each new recommend. Make the heart beat.

Thank you. Your heart is beautiful.

Thank you, Jimmy.

Hey Lush, thought you would enjoy this article. The guy's not only a douche, he's a thief with no original ideas in his head.

Thanks, I remember this from ages ago... Worth reminding everyone again ...will add to my blog

And it looks like someone may need to re-do the CO$ communication course ;)

I just spent some time reading random articles about Scientology shenanigans I found by entering the words "Gary Soter denies" into various search engines. Hhhmmmpff! I can't wait for Ron Srs' book.

I'm sorry we fought. I still love you. It just wasn't our night. We'll dance all night next time baby. You know you're still my favorite. Kiss me

It's a full moon in Australia

Is it? I don't know, it is fucking hot and at about 100% humidity and I care not to go outside and even look if it's even in the sky at the moment, (it's 3:20pm).

You may have a radiation leak, dear. That's the noon day sun.

No. wish I was. how fun would that be?
Go visit Enthralled, we would!

I notice the moon often is all J3Xs... on account of I walk to & from work. And I've just gotten home. been getting darker each evening.

smiling large @ u friend Jimmy.

You really do not want to be here with me... heat stroke is prevalent at the moment. Really disgusting... and I have no air-con except in the car... or at the pub, and we've already resorted to that twice in the last few days, I don't want to gain a reputation.
