I saw that nutjob Hubbard on PBS peddling his crap just this weekend. (rained in due to tropical storm going thru' FL).
That dude messed up a perfectly good girl friend I had back in the 70s. That chick is still screwed up and never did find a decent man that would have her. Hey, she had her chance.
Was this an old show because I believe Hubbard assumed room temperature some time ago?...
Was he on tv? Shudder. I'm glad we don't get him here. He's creepy. I can remember being in grade school at a book store with my mom. I had been reading sci-fi in school, it was the thing then. There was a display of his 'work' and she went ballistic. He wasn't even a good sci-fi writer, but now they were pushing him as self-help! She warned me to not read him or be sucked in by his new age crap. She did borrow 'Dianetics' from the library and we had a good laugh over it.
Arlene seems to have fizzled out, instead of hitting as a full out hurricane. If heavy rain is 'fizzled out'. Good thing, though.

Sounds like her loss. ;-) And too bad for her, too, because some of the ex-cult members never seem to fully recover. And the cult just tosses them aside after taking everything from them, especially if they become ill or financially exhausted. A high school classmate of mine and a friend of a mutual friend was also sucked in. She didn't get out. No one's heard from her in over a decade. When my friend tried to find her, and actually received letters from her, scary people started showing up at her house, her mom's house(!) and this girl's mom's house. Threatening them to leave Deb alone and revealing that they had a lot of personal information about all of them and leaving with veiled threats.
Tom is ruining this young woman's life. Nicole is lucky to be 'out'.
