Lots of other lists.

Last few weeks I have watched a lot of YT vids from ex-members from other cults and religions. 'Exmo Lex' (mormon) and Lloyd Evans (JW) have interesting content. There are waaay more. The parallels are of course easy to see.

• Ian Berg - Class 4 Auditor, staff, Washington DC - his story

Sadly, the link for "Church of Scientology Exit Zone Big List Project Summary' is no longer there.

Looks like the free and able site has the same problem as OCMB had for years?

http://www.freeandable.com/

This link? http://cofsexit.blogspot.com/p/big-list.html

That's 51 links in the big list. I'm gonna wait a bit before finding the archived version of each individual link, because I doubt it's been abandoned since indie Scientologists rely on it for business, so hopefully they just fix the misconfigured scripting on the server side.

On the plus side, 101 links to the archived version of the magic itty.bitty site broke when it was excluded from the Wayback machine, something easily fixed in a single edit because it was client-side scripting which can be mirrored.

The one below the updates section under how to add your name, right above additions. I don't know if the link you gave points to the same thing as the one I gave did

Code:

http://www12.widgetserver.com/?tm=1&subid4=1621670460.0049516042&kw=RON+-+removing+from+preset&KW1=Dedicated%20Server%20USA&KW2=Dedicated%20Server%20Asia&KW3=Dedicated%20Server%20Europe&searchbox=0&domainname=0&backfill=0

Good grief that monstrosity of a link is definitely not on the big list wiki page! Maybe it's a european redirection thing to do with blogspot? The Exit Zone Big List Project Summary is a blogspot link. I went there thinking the embedded submission form on that page might be what you posted, but that's https://www.jotform.com/form/2920410395 which is also linked later on the wiki page.

The jotform link works fine here in the Netherlands

The Exit Zone link, I tried again, first comes up with the blog, then immediately goes to the link I gave in code.

So yes, I guess it's a European redirect. Maybe because of GDPR, I don't know

Might want to add a remark that that link is not available from the EU. At least it's not from the Netherlands.

Extra link for Mike Steentjes, already on

https://www.robindewever.nl/artikelen/waarom-scientology-altijd-geld-nodig-heeft

Robin de Wever is a journalist who writes about the COS

Sue Alexander, not sure about this.

https://exscn2.net/threads/anyone-here-from-sydney-org-1974-84.2724/

No completions, but the esmb thread is VERY detailed, so I'll believe she was in.

However, no current last name, and there are several "Sues" already on, so may be someone who is already on.

Extra info and link for Ian Berg, already on - left after 7 years, Clear.

• Niesha Renée Trout - left after 11 years - liked a tweet supporting victims of Scientology

OT Turns out Molly McMullen was n LDS before and after she was in the COS.

If I understand correctly she also left LDS behind and has found her calling in her current job.

Looks like Ian Berg is aka Rafalko

Rick Shaw (already on) started the gofundme. So extra link if need be

Jeanne Martin already on also donated. She until now has just one link so I thought this would help

This post https://whyweprotest.net/goto/post?id=2791848#post-2791848

Mitch Pilchuk already on also donated, also has just 1 link

I hadn't read Ortega's blog in a few days so seeing the above my heart sank thinking Ron had died (till I clicked the links). All I can say is bless Ron for what he's done since leaving the CoS, here's hoping he lives long enough to see it get more justice.

Just checked the Dror centre webpages. They have a few new names not on the list, but those are people who started out with Hubbard fail'tech' at Dror recently, they were never in (AFAICT). I counted 3 of them. Other than that, only names already on.

At the beginning of 2021 they had a post up about unprecedented growth (where have we heard that before). Not sure but I don't think it's people starting scientology at Dror. So I would guess they do have new business from exes who got out of the COS who don't want their wins/success stories/names publicly known.
