I'm asking everyone and hopefully at least a few opinions will come back. I'll want to web people's answers, by the way.

I'm curious: Tory has stated that she has -- after some 30 years of being trapped in the Scientology cult -- has escaped. I'm curious about whether people believe her or think that's a GO/OSA "op" out to destroy the Lisa McPherson Trust in the same way that the crooks destroyed the Cult Awareness Network.

Thanks!

I can't imagine someone making 2900 "moron" (to quote Tory herself) posts just for the hell of it. I think we deserve a detailed explanation of what she thought she was accomplishing with those posts. The Swazeys actually discuss stuff, and they're still in - Tory posted noise, and then she blew? Why?

OTOH, Tory is very *obvious* - the Terepin affair shows that the CoS is capable of subtlety.

She might be a distraction - "cover up a quiet operation with a big noisy one" is a very old technique, old enough that Hubbie probably stole it too.

Thanks. I got some rather disturbing e-mail from Tory which has changed my opinion somewhat. I have to conceed that I don't trust her any longer.
