All I can think of is the cheesy Dianetics commercials that ran during Andy Griffith and the Brady Bunch afternoon reruns in the 70s. I'm just imagining an endless loop of that, kind of like the Christmas log except evil.

Or nonstop Battleship Earth.
Logo, the GLBT splinter channel from Bravo is no longer supported. They used to have lots of original programming, and now they pretty much just run Golden Girls reruns all day. Even RuPaul's Drag Race has moved to VH1. That's what I think the clam channel will be, except Tom Cruise and John Travolta movies all day long.
Maybe they'll get permission to edit things for t.v., and will totally take advantage, not just changing swear words, but changing all kinds of dialogue to support their cult.

I wasn't sure where to put all this but this seems the best place to start. If I need to have this moved or repost, just let me know. Leah Remini showed up at Calvary Church in Clearwater a couple weeks ago. I know this because my co-workers were there attending a special Bible Study led by the Pastor and his wife. She just waltzed in with Mike Rinder and a camera crew, she spoke for a while and got very emotional. But she seemed very happy and relived to be able to speak at all. I suspect it's still super traumatic for her to ever be in Clearwater, and she is looking for safer spaces. A little background is needed here, first about ME and my history with the Greecie board: I am smitten's older sister. (Yes, THAT one!) I used to belong under a different name, was a regular poster. But due to some difficult, strained times between my sister and I, it seemed most prudent for me to leave this board to her. Many, many things have happened/changed in both our lives since then and we have become closer than ever. I have complete confidence she would agree and that's a really super feeling. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) She actually encouraged me just yesterday to post here again. So here I am. As a Chicago liberal living in the land of "Florida Man" I can shed some light on a lot of craziness. I have lived in Tampa for over 10 years now. I work for a very recognizable company 20 minutes away, in Palm Harbor, that shall remain nameless. One of the clients I deal with owns a condo at 100 Pierce (down the street from the Ft Harrison Hotel), and I converse almost daily with their Board or Directors, their Property Manager, and prospective tenants. The organization is never spoken of but we all know full well what it's about. I have soo much to say but I have to be a little careful here. I am risking it because it's getting worse in Clearwater. Lots worse. The other background to know is this: about why Leah showed up at Calvary...it's actually more about Mike and you can start here: 2017 Calvary vs. Scientologyand here: January 2018or here: Scientology Covertly Buying most of Downtown ClearwaterAnd you can't miss this precious tidbit endorsed by Mr. Miscavige himself: The Oak CoveIt's worse than you even think and I can talk about it from personal, but mercifully distant, experience. But I would only ask that my posts go in the proper forum. It's been a while so please point me in the right direction. From what I remember about the Greecies, you guys are gonna wanna hear this...

I knew how long most commercial breaks would last and would switch between a few shows. So I never saw those commercials.

Hey sis. :-) Nice job with the links!! I would say anything you're worried about being searchable on the interwebs you should put in the All About Us section.
If you can make it impersonal enough and not connect it to you regarding the "church" which you maybe can - this is the place to go nuts! I just don't want a hate site developed against you. Xenu knows how relentless and litigious scienos can be.

Welcome back, cracker! I loooooove me some Scientology gossip so I will gladly gobble up whatever you feel comfortable dishing out.
I mentioned in another thread somewhere that I was in Nashville a couple of weeks ago and unexpectedly drove past the Scientology center and I was absolutely giddy. Alas, I did not spot any Scientologists in the wild that night. Since I'm not rich I always assumed that if I tried to join Scientology it would be like that episode of Strangers with Candy where Jerri joins a cult and the cult gives her back.

(Thanks, Lady!)
So basically here's the deal. I work in Real Estate in Florida. A huge part of that is dealing with endless Homeowners' Associations, Condominium Associations, and Deed Restricted communities with varying levels of controlling, asinine, and downright racist/discriminatory "approval" criteria. I thought nothing could shock me. Until I read the "Rules of 100 Pierce."
100 Pierce is a dated, but perfectly located condo building overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and the Intercoastal, where you can literally watch the dolphins play from your balcony every damn day. So I expected their Condo Board to be a bit persnickety.
The regulations began in the typical manner: no signs, no hanging plants on your balcony, no beach towels hanging up, all visitors must check in, yada yada. But then it got weird. No stickers or signs or religious emblems of any kind within sight of any other resident - including in or on your vehicle in the parking garage. Do not open your sliding doors between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am, so as not to disturb other residents. No flip-flops in the lobby. No strollers. Groceries must be taken up through the rear freight elevators. No Christmas lights.
And no children 16 and under allowed alone without an adult escort, ever, in the public areas of the building - including the hallways - even for the purpose of going to/from school.
That's when I knew.
My co-worker saw me poring over this 3 inch-thick binder of material and said "So...we have a hard time finding tenants that get approved here. Do you...get it yet?"
I said, "It's all Scientologists. Isn't it?"
It's one thing to watch the shows, read the books, and the blogs, and the gossip, and the boards from the underground. It's quite another to have to pick up your own personal CELL phone and call this building. Call the Board President. Knowing damn well there is a real live Scieno you will be talking to within seconds, on the other end.
And here is the creepiest thing about the whole deal, please believe me: these people are the nicest, most engaging and charming mother-effers you will ever meet.
That makes them all the more terrifying.
This weekend I will go into the story of the tenants I found to rent this beautiful prison...the really cool dude from Chicago and his mail-order Russian child bride. Yuck.
