As @TonyOrtega94 just posted, this is HUGE. A major celebrity, second gen former Scientologist who just happens to be Elvis Presley's daughter is willing to testify the Church of Scientology ordered her to obstruct justice and she did. Scientology is as criminal as you think.

For us ex-members, the @dannymasterson sentencing is not just a guy going to jail. It's a victory - for once! - over the destructive, abusive cult that is the Church of Scientology. It tried with everything it had to stop this and it couldn't. Eat it Scientology. Choke on it.

THIS IS AWESOME! This means the cult apologists (Masimo Introvigne and his bought-and-paid-for crew of mercenary academics) lost in their efforts and the JWs are not a religion in Norway. This is serious progress forward on in the cult fight. I hope you'll check this out.

Breaking!! The verdict is out! Norway vs Jehovah's Witnesses 1-0 Full victory for us! JW are deregistered in Norway at this moment, they lost completely and are also ordered to pay the State $25K to cover their expenses. I will expand this in a minute when I read through 🧵

This is a picture of the surface of Venus, I believe one of the most expensive photos ever taken since the probe that took it was sent just to do this (and a few other things) and then die. Simply amazing shot. And no trains. 😳🤪

@grcastleberry There is literally not one piece of actual evidence of any resurrection. Not one. It's a story and you choose to believe it despite the fact there is no evidence. That's called faith. Please use your words better.

Holy cow! It's happening! It's a little weird to know that all the key people in that court room watched our interview and know exactly what we think of what we went down. I truly hope the second go-round features a lot more Scientology, so crucial to understanding the case.

Here's our full report of this morning's hearing as Deputy DA Reinhold Mueller indicated that they intend to retry #Scientology celeb Danny Masterson, and Judge Charlaine Olmedo denied a defense motion to dismiss all charges. Trial is set to begin with jury selection March 29.

A point made repeatedly by Masterson's victims (including today's testimony) in @TonyOrtega94 reporting is how direct and forceful he is in telling them what to do. Unusually direct. That is Scientology training called Upper Indoc TRs. They are exercises in forceful compliance.

The only stunt I want to see this man perform is speaking out publicly against Scientology. It would quite literally be the most dangerous thing he could ever do, far more so than these so-called "dangerous" stunts where his life was NOT really on the line at all.

I'm done discussing the Danny Masterson case or any of the factors, players or drama connected with it. There's a time for simply removing oneself from a toxic environment. This has been made into that and I'm done feeding into that. It was never what I intended or wanted.

Scientology is always worse than you think. The handling this woman received from her "church" was to be told she couldn't have been raped and that her "job" is to give her man sex whenever he wants because he's the breadwinner, even forcible sex while drugged. Need I say more?

Take everything I've said about cult recovery. Now imagine after you got out, your cult stalks you and threatens you daily. What force of will does it take to overcome that? That's what Masterson's victims, @LeahRemini , @MikeRinder and thousands of others go through every day.

@TheIMFCsocial This is quite gross IMFC. You're actively defending sexual assault and rape under the guise of "religious freedom" and have been so conned by Scientology, you are now in a kind of Black Mirror world where you think slavery is freedom and crime is justice. It's not a good look.

As I was saying yesterday (and as @TonyOrtega94 and @MikeRinder wrote), the Church of Scientology has a very big projection problem. They accuse @LeahRemini of supporting rape while the "Church" hires actual rapists to do their dirty work. It's not ironic, it's just evil.

There's more to this case than was presented. A lot more. The jury didn't get the big picture and that is what I'm hoping gets fixed in a retrial. It seems to me they may have missed the forrest for the trees.

The anti-psychiatry crowd here are just as culty as Scientologists. Engaging with them is an utter waste of time. I've spent hours engaging with flat earthers who have the same anti-science energy. They don't understand science, people or much of anything really.

Danny Masterson's DJ name was DJ Donkey Punch. Look up that term. I can't imagine how any normal human being would ever imagine that's a good name to give themselves but Masterson is apparently the guy who finds that hilarious. It says so much about him in so few words.

This is a temporary setback in the longer war against abusive organizations like the Church of Scientology, which even after all our work exposing it, the public at large still doesn't actually understand at all. Its not about hot takes, it's about coercive control & real crimes.
