Debbie Jean Cook: the day after

[Zardoz]

I was a Facebook friend of Debbie Cook, as I was amazed at what she had done on the eve of the new year. I wanted to support her effort, and honestly, to find out what was not in the news. I was very happy with the potential of the e-mail, and was very interested in what would come next; she's a smart lady in the ways of CoS and even better, of the top management right up to and including DM. I just knew this would be fantastic, or so I hoped.

In our exchanges on Facebook, I really felt that she was a "bring it on" type, and no one knew the ropes like she did. Especially in the area of how DM would respond and what he'd order to be done. In short, I had the impression she was the chess-master about to win the board.

The day after the famous e-mail, she was attacked by scientologists, defended by a couple close friends, and eventually un-friended (it's a real word on Facebook!) some people, and naturally changed her privacy settings, causing the first round of speculation by those she booted off of her friend list.

Here's what happened the day after ... heady times.

Hey, that last guy just called her an SP.

Oh, he wants to bring Narconon, Applied Scholastics, and Study Tech to kids as young as 1st grade. Okay, moving along ...

Because of a post or two of disbelief, and speculation that her Facebook account was "hacked", she posted this reassurance:

Hey, that's not nice ...

Thanks for posting these Zardoz. It's interesting to see the paranoia we know exists among their ranks manifest in real individuals FB comments. Their group fear of 'out-security' the FBI, and 'Liability'. A lot of comments fretting about discussions on the 'wrong lines' translate into normal person-speak as 'We're crazy/paranoid and don't know it'. It's ironic that those who show most venom towards her actions are the ones who are really making Scn look bad here, but they're blind to it. Long live Scn facebook discussion.

Lulz fave - 'If it isn't fun, it isn't Scientology' lololol.

Yes, Ben - as you've seen the one camp (hard-line, unable to think for themselves) cries No! You must follow the rules of how, when and who you are to communicate with! And then those who just call her an SP, or rather make a Facebook post, declaring them "Suppressive", right then and there!

I really liked seeing some people post quotes that truly supported her actions, and that was what Debbie herself did in her e-mail. All of this demonstrated to me the rift that exists between the two types - one who reads the quotes, and then those who do what they're told with no questions asked.

The Facebook experience was very educational, and in the end gave me a really good view of the crumbling foundation of it all.
