Thanks, Billy.

I just did an interview with Jason Beghe. Did you know him inside Scientology?

I read all these comments—now here’s one from me. It’s really me (Billy) making this comment too. Mark–I have respect for you for posting exactly what went down—thank you! I’m happy to speak with you anytime I can.
Here’s the truth—nobody sent me, nobody prepped me–I went on my own. Backing off is not the same as backing down—I was not going to get into a shouting match. It does nobody any good. Afterwards, I went and got the Church point of view on all the subjects brought up to me. Very interesting. I’m nobody’s pawn, and I’m not a fool or a robot. I can truly understand why some people posting here don’t trust me, and I certainly hold nothing against them for it. I got into absolutely no trouble, and in fact received dozens of emails from Scientologist’s all over the world who were utterly elated that I was there. I’ve also received many emails from anti-Scientologist’s who were glad I was there as well. I’m always open to discuss any of this. I’m not an enemy of anyone critical to me or Scientology. As far as my “celebrity” status—ha! That’s hilarious. I got into Scientology WAY before I ever had a micron of success, and I haven’t seen any papparrazzi around my house lately!
Peace & Respect to you all,
Billy

That’s a lot of fancy dancing by Mr. Sheehan - guy refuses to focus on any point or anything. Chronic denial. Critical thinking gone.

Scientology is a drug. This guy is on it.

Mentorless, the freewinds site still exists but the dope hosting it won’t allow anyone to see it using IE. Use Firefox and the iste is there.

I hope this guy doesn’t get in trouble for being so honest. I really respect his ability to act the way he did. This is the most honest interview I’ve seen yet! I appreciate his deviation from the typical sciengology rhetoric.

Mr. Bunker,

STOP linking to lisatrust.freewinds.cx!! It does not exist anymore.

Also, the “trial of jesse” link is no good.

Keep up the good work.

The interview shows Mr. Sheehan is a totally indoctrinated/brainwashed and well-trained Scientologist. He slimed out of direct confrontations, challenges, and exposures of contradictions in his OWN positions with typical CoS sleaze-ball tactics: “So, we have a difference of opinion; I respect your opinion; I really, really, really, really respect your opinion; We should talk LATER - not NOW - but LATER; I value your opinion; Mine is different; Bla, bla, bla, you know…; Bla, bla, bla, you know? You know? Well, we differ, so we should move on…”

This guy doesn’t know the difference between an opinion, a fact, and a hole in the ground. Either his thinking is MESSED-UP and/or he is a very good ACTOR. At least he is well-trained at evading the issue at hand: not even a hint of shame or any other sign of self-awareness that his behavior is a denial of humanity’s greatest gift - sincere communication. How can he be considered, “a nice guy.” Therefore, his behavior was atrocious. What a jerk.

His being calm and artificially polite is part of the Scn TRAINING! He wasn’t behaving like aggressive picket handlers usually do because he wasn’t ordered to “handle” the usual way. Aren’t public Ronbots quite rare at pickets - especially with signs? He was a plant.

Of course hurling insults (i.e., “you’re on acid” will have NO EFFECT. It comes with the TRAINING. (Actually, the “acid” comment was probably insulting in a different respect: CoS bans psychotropic drugs. Whatever respect, he’s trained to deny addressing recognitions - even in his own mind.) However, the same person’s comment, “you don’t know what you’re talking about” penetrated. Or did it? Rarely do Scns parrot. The only way to have a fair argument with a Scn about CoS is to deprogram her/him first. And that’s a monumental task. Sitting down with a Ronbot and agreeing what is legitimate documentation or not would be impossible, futile.

But so it goes with Scientologists. It’s typical. The video is just more documentation of CoS’s harm. Not a waste of time - keeping exposure of CoS harm contemporary keeps up the good fight.

It would be nice to hear about what he gets out of Scientology, how it’s improved his life, etc. Thee must be a reason someone would stay in since 1971 and I’d like to get his perspective on it.

I doubt OSA sent him out there. Scientology goes to extremes to keep the average member from being exposed to any criticism of the church, let alone one of their celebrities. They are far too precious to risk so recklessly.

Billy seemed like a really nice guy, and I believe him when he said that he had researched the allegations against the church (though I don’t agree with his conclusions). Another excellent xenutv interview.

To the guy in the V mask who harangued Billy and told him that he was on acid, that was very rude and such behavior does no good. Scientologists are not dumb or deserving of abuse. They are normal people who have been misled.

How can we expect to persuade them that they are being abused by $cientology if we as critics don’t even treat them with common courtesy?
A little kindness goes a long way.
