Ok, I've been an incredibly lazy slut lately. I haven't done jack to my website since dinosaurs ruled the earth. (Dinosaurs, it turns out, don't know dick about websites. That no opposable thumbs thing really cramps their style)
Ok, apart from my rant below, I wanted to show you my new blog. I took comparison pix of the Church of Scientology's ideal org that they bought almost 5 years ago and have yet to move into- and their current location. Pix are captioned and show how derelict this building is.

********************************************************
A few changes since I last talked to you peeps. I've changed my usernick on most forums to Voltaire's Child which is a nick I'd used on question and answer boards for years. I'm still not an anon, though. I have no dislike for those who are except for the ones who screech about multiple nicks while they themselves hide behind anonymity. Can we say hypocrite? I knew we could!
Criticism of Scientology and the cult seem to be a real two edged sword. Evidently, some of us who aren't mindless bashers and who yet criticize the cult are too confusing for some to understand and, I'm given to understand, engender a type of cognitive dissonance there. (that means they're a bunch of dumbasses, I think. Suggested reading: "Cognitive dissonance for and by dumbasses." Yes, thank you, I know. I'm here all week) I find some of these clowntards to be stupid, self serving and not helpful at all to anyone in any way. So here's something I wrote in another venue and I'm posting it here, too.
Hi! Claire here with a message for three of the nastiest old coozes I've ever had occasion to meet anywhere, anytime, in my whole entire life. I've talked to one of you here and to all three of you on two privately run (and moderated) message boards. And a great time was had--er...by all. Your age
in consideration, I'd say there wasn't a dry crotch in the house.
I've heard from all three of you rather recently. It was nice of you to show your true colors, but, honestly, dearies- I already knew what they were. I've watched you accuse and slam other forum contributors, alleging that people do exactly what you yourselves do.
You bitch loudly about people who think they know everything while you yourselves constantly tell others what to do. One of you screams about multiple nicks and morphing when you are an anon and that person is not. And you've used multiple nicks.
One of you extended an olive branch to me and I went for it. I didn't know this at the time, but right around that same time you'd posted this on WWP:
"Woo hoo!!! This is my dear old nemesis Ball of Fluff! AKA Claire Swazey, Ima Fluffy girl, Clawed Watebuck, and various other nicks. This person is a troll, and a scientology troll at that. Read her 20 thousand plus posts on ars and other boards.
She will lead you down the garden path and waste your time with psuedo intellectual arguments because it is her stat to prevent people from critisizing scientology.
What you need to know about Ball of Fluff:
Lermanet.com Exposing the CON :: View topic - What you need to know about Ball of Fluff "
So we can see what your offers and protestations of friendship mean. Not surprising. You rant and bray about OSA and yet you yourself were one nasty piece of work when you were in CofS. You destroyed a lot of lives. Far more than did those you've attacked. And you're still trying to do it but
now you're dealing with people who do not have to take your bullshit and you just cannot deal with it. You've shown that by your nonsensical posts replete with some of the worst reading comprehension skills I've ever seen. I guess that's what comes of getting one's education in a cult.
I've seen you target a guy on a forum you both- all of us,actually- frequent. I've seen you jump on him time and time again, even telling him what to do in his private life. You targetted another person- an extremely effective critic who's shown herself time and time again to be savvy about the cult and who's done nothing but help other critics since she left the
cult.
You've been reprimanded time and time again by forum mods. You even got banned on another forum. None of it has changed you. It never will because you enjoy being a dumbass piece of shit. And that's fine because I enjoy the comic relief you've afforded me. Do you honestly think that your many
exhortations to me to wake up to read this or that (that I already fucking read before, you dumbass) or to do this or that cut any ice with me? Guess again, moron.
Same with another old biddy who posts and posts and posts finding fault endlessly for over a decade. You don't seem to realize that I can go in on any thread I create on that other forum and see who viewed my thread and when. I know that you've read virtually every thread I've created, sometimes
viewing them multiple times. For someone who can't stand me, that's pretty damn funny, that you'd even bother. You claim that by defending Scn-I'm defending disconnection, bankruptcy,etc, then you post pro tech posts and
write all about how you are coming to a certain non CofS Scn function. Do you know how stupid and inconsistent that sounds? You've made negative mention of my two expulsions while your repute with the same cult is no better than mine. Probably worse since you really fucked them in the ass
over that CADA business. You claim that people want to drive you off the board when you've spent years hounding andcomplaining, even going so far as to post private information. It would seem egregious to me if it weren't so
over the top ridiculous. When John and I were first married, we lived in a small apartment building on the East coast and next door was a little old house with an elderly married couple. The distaff half of that couple took a dislike to poor John and actually came down the alley way to our apartment entrance, backed John up against the wall (he was twice her size but
wouldn't lay a finger on her, of course) and slammed a stick against the bricks right next to his head. She was, of course, suffering dementia. You remind me of her, 'cept I think she probably had better logic skills and integrity.
The unreasoning hatred and vitriol that you three ladies spew does not do anything good for any venue you frequent. It's not going to change anyone else. It just wastes everyone else's time and makes you more fucked up than you already were- impossible as that may seem.
The people you target have all already been through the mill in CofS. They - ~we~ - all stood up to a cult that was trying to tell us what to do. You seem to not get this. You seem to think you can continue to act like idiot culties. Maybe you coerced one too many abortions or ran one too many ops when you were in and it went to your head.
Why don't you go get your old Sea Org uniforms and put them on again? You still act the same, might as well wear the uniform. I think that the cult should be paying you for all that you're doing for them. Hey...maybe they are.

My background and stance:
I'm a former Church of Scientology member and a currently practicing heretical Scientologist and a critic of the Church of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard and elements of the Scientology philosophy/methodology itself.
Here's my critical resume:
Contributor to the following discussion forums:
alt.religion.scientology (doing that is what led to my expulsion from CofS)
Beliefnet's Scientology forums
Operation Clambake
Factnet
I have answered questions on askme.com in the past
and currently do so now on allexperts.com as Voltaire's Child.
Because of my objections to Beliefnet banning non CofS Scientologists from several Beliefnet Scientology boards, separate Beliefnet Scientology boards were created for "Freezoners". This is a quasi-generic term for Scientologists operating outside the Church of Scientology.
I gave a radio interview to KAHL radio of San Antonio, TX June 2005.
I also gave a tv interview to a network a few months later but that ended up on the cutting room floor.
I have given interviews to college publications and helped students who were doing term papers with questions they had about Scientology and CofS.
I have another interview I just gave and when it's published, I will update this website.
My purpose in doing all this is to let people know about the abuses and problems in CofS and to impart a message of, well, heresy, to put it bluntly. As I see it, the problem with the traditional religions and with a number of newer groups, cults, churches, isms and ologies is that it's all a package deal. People are treated like babies and told they cannot possibly have the wisdom to do anything other than follow a god, guru, saint, priest, cult leader, minister or other authority figure and that it's take one, take all.
This just isn't true! People do not have to live, worship or believe that way!
