Continuing the Big List of THOUSANDS of Former Members Who Spoke Out

Nothing there except in the subpoena demanding Ortega produce all his communications with Perkins. So I guess we wait on this until trial testimony or whenever Tony can write about him.

Cathy Mullins already on

Extra link for Bill Drummond, already on: video interview

Maybe wait for more confirmation but.... Laura Prepon?!

ETA the internet is flooded with the news only a few minutes after I posted this

On todays Bunker:

A good time to sit back and grab some


BTW, the link to the interview if she ends up actually speaking out is
https://people.com/tv/laura-prepon-on-motherhood-and-leaving-scientology/

Of course there's no problem in sitting back with (or without) popcorn, but I do think we've added Jason Lee and Back after similar statements?

Over at the Bunker "Sizzel8" remarked:

citation starts

"I haven’t practiced Scientology in close to five years and it’s no longer part of my life.”
That's also out-KSW in bold, neon, capital letters which is another High Crime.

citation ends



I think we should add her (Prepon, not sizzle8, lol)

"3feetback-of-COS" speculated:

"Maybe thats their new policy with celebrity defectors: keep quiet and we won't smear you.
This Prepon story does have a funny smell.
I wonder who will be next?"

Well, I think this is the final verdict

Extra link for Lawrence Toomajan, already on - wrote My Scientology Memoirs

Onto the list she goes then. I just have one question...

If Laura Prepon, as an officially "ex"-member, shows up on the witness stand on equal footing testimony-wise with the ex-member victims in the Danny Masterson rape trial next year, and she testifies for the man who introduced her to Scientology, and against the victims, will our view of her being "out" change?
Would we go "oh well, she left years ago so is acting totally independently and we can't object to that", or would we see this departure as a smokescreen plot devised by Scientology specifically to disrupt the trial?

We didn't delete Marty. I remember RO back then reasoned that he had spoken out. A LOT.

We would have to see what she would say should such an event happen. Let's not go into hypothetical scenarios.

Other than that: you maintain the wiki, I don't.

We all know I only posted it so if it does happen I can boastfully link back to that post.

I truly hope she shows up and does the opposite of what I predicted, then we'll have more links to her speaking out!

Also, Laura's entry is the first new entry since wikia.org updated to it's new website theme! Like it?

Can't really say if I have a preference for the old or new theme.

I mostly look up using ctrl+f and that still works fine.

I do hope it's easier for you to work with, but I'm assuming the wiki syntax hasn't changed either.

For today's post at Tony's: there's a Kathleen Jenkins in completions but it's not the same person

what about a french member christian lemaire stil inside or not ?

If you have any links of him speaking out AND links of him being a member that would be helpful.

No completions but I do remember seeing Tony asking him for help on technical stuff

"I also sent her a note thanking her for the footbullet, as it was a footbullet that set me on this course of cult studies and criticism back in 1979."

This is not very definitive that he was in, the ambiguous wording could mean that as a critic for so long he's amassed a lot of "tech" knowledge and made friends with a lot of ex-members.
A quote from his blog is no less ambiguous: "A recovered magical-thinker making up for lost time."

The Big List was just migrated from wikia.org to fandom.com:

I fully expected it to vanish entirely weeks ago as indicated earlier, so this was an unexpected development..

I hate to say it, but we're seriously downstat.

Considering someone tried to eradicate the main URL of our entire list but it was about as effective as Decon 7 being sprayed in Orgs, I think our surviving the year with The Big List still alive linkwise is quite an achievement!

What is the "Msm" before her name short for, and also the "VA SSIII" at the end?

No idea. I always thought of you as the expert on all the crazy acronyms.
