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

Top of a new page, time to check the current total count: 3086 names

Might as well stop adding new names.

In the yesterday stream Marc said he got over 300 emails (at about 1:13:25) of people from all over that wanted to be on his show.

Can't have enough publicity

So I just went through the livechat of how you got Goldie to put the link in the chat… Goldie had to resort to putting an AOL email in the public chat for you to send the link to because the phrases you used were ones I remember not being very googleable even back when RightOn was involved:

https://www.google.com/search?q=the big list of ex cos members speaking out

https://www.google.com/search?q=list of ex COS members speaking out

When I can't paste a link in a chat, I put exactly what anyone can copy/paste into google so it's the first result that comes up, like:

https://www.google.com/search?q="Former Church of Scientology Members who have spoken out" fandom

That's helpful, thanks.

Goldie though, like anyone else, could have deleted her own comment while the stream was live after she got my mail. Other than that I don't think I specifically asked her to post the email, and it might as well be a throwaway, or she just doesn't care. Anyway - she now has the link, and I hope she posts it more often.

But again: helpful

....which she now did a few times on both Aaron's and Marc's channel

Jeff Hunter - maybe too common a name? It's also not like he's saying he was in

Yeah "only memory I have of their presence" sounds like he was never in.

No idea when I'll catch the next one so here's a reminder - I think you didn't see James?

ETA Maybe quicker than I thought. I think earlier I looked up Howie Spinner. His then comments were not convincing, but maybe this one is (calling cos a cult)?

I could've sworn I added him, I distinctly remember appending the timestamp to the url: &t=1h46m2s
I was watching that episode live and fell asleep during it, so perhaps when I woke up I did the timestamp thing then kept watching from that timestamp and forgot why I did it, may have drifted off again… the videos are great though! I should just be better rested before watching them.

Howie added too!

The vid linked to here is no longer available. At least that's what YT tells me. Hope you have a copy?

The Dazed but not Confused youtube channel received three copyright strikes at once and is currently down. Hoping Doug gets it back up, however long that process takes.

Not sure about Diane Watson

Apparently a congress woman who was in: https://the-scientologist.com//celebrities.shtml

There is a DianA Watson in completions https://www.truthaboutscientology.com/stats/by-name/d/diana-watson.html

Some new features added to the completions site

Popular pages https://www.truthaboutscientology.com/tags/popular-pages

L completions: https://www.truthaboutscientology.com/stats/l10-l11-l12-completions

OT VIII https://www.truthaboutscientology.com/stats/ot-viii-completions (with 4364 people on - as opposed to about 2700 in 2012 when I did the OT 8 project, so about 1600 more or 160 a year).

Too common a name for a single entry that doesn't match when he was in (today being "more than a decade later" after 1996 is really stretching it)

The wikipedia page they copied the list from no longer lists Diane Watson, so I'm guessing it was removed for being wrong. This Diane belongs with David Taylor in the Finding names thread needing corroboration (presuming the CoS staff wouldn't get her first name wrong in four separate publications, "Diana" is someone else)

Big thanks for the other names and linking to screenshots! Pamela Shaffer, Ray Richard McDonough, Deanna Ross, Lorna Huddleston all added

Currently 3097. Just about two weeks to find 3 more names.

Did you see this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/scientology/comments/1151mgb/alleged_celebrity_scientologists_part_1/

Lots of discussion about it though

I missed that post, but I just commented with the suggestion to create a wiki page for it

Oh you

Did we ever research this?

Apparently there is a band 'Annie Christian' (also title of a Prince song?) that released an album Twilight with the song Clearwater Goldmine.

Lyrics of the song https://www.streetdirectory.com/lyricadvisor/song/poeej/clearwater_goldmine/

There's a completion for David https://www.truthaboutscientology.com/stats/by-name/d/david-hunter.html but I'm not sure if he was a member of the band at the time?

(Really obscure!)
