A Very Important Trip and Why I Made It
In this short vlog, I talk about a trip I have made to Perth, Australia, why this trip was personally so very important and what it has to do with my history in Scientology.
Congratulations Chris and Josh…that’s awesome
What a beautiful story, I am thrilled for you.
Chris, I applaud your dedication and effort in remaining a part of your son’s life. Oddly enough, I feel like an earlier version of your son, in that both my parents were on staff at LA Org in the 60s, and I was the result of their tryst. Unlike you, my biological father (who remained a Scientologist) never made any attempt to be part of my life, and therapy has helped me understand how damaging that was. Again, you made the right choice and it will ultimately make all the difference in your son’s life.
As they say, thanks for sharing. I am glad things are working out.
you seem unaware of the meaning of WOG. In British colonial argot, the letters form an acronym for Wily Oriental Gentleman. Has nothing to do with Polliwog, Golliwog or what have you. Keep up the good work.
I am so happy for you, Chris, and for your son who now know what a wonderful father he has!
Thank you, again, for your kindness, honesty and willingness to share this amazing journey with us. As a proud Australian I feel that this country is just a bit better for your presence – albeit fleeting.
Did you say “livingness”? ;-D
I did. Old habits die hard.
In all seriousness, congratulations to you both.
You are a complete failure both as a father and as a man. This is disgusting. You let other people raise your son and now 25 years later you think a short vacation fixes everything. If you don’t get that you clearly aren’t capable of any real critical thinking.
What a pathetic attempt to introvert and upset me. Fortunately for me and sad for you, my son was thrilled that I went and we had a great time. It must be sad to do what you try to do. Scientology couldn’t pay me enough.
Dear Steve, Chris is a product of a childhood in Scientology (like me) and an adulthood in the Sea Org, both of which are complete failures as an organization AND a so called “Church” ..and BOTH are so much worse than disgusting. YOU make your Sea Org members let other people raise their children and YOU don’t afford them any time together, and when the children struggle without the love and nurture they require to thrive YOU punish them or send them to the streets alone with only the clothes on their backs…and if by some miracle they’re lucky enough to survive this abandonment and by the grace of god or land on their feet and years later remove the layers of guilt and shame and hopelessness your organization piled upon them, and somehow find their voice and the courage to speak up about what was done to them YOU respond by creating smear campaigns about them, and YOU think this fixes anything or removes the stink of your crimes? If you believe that YOU clearly aren’t capable of critical thinking, much less capable of helping ANYONE, certainly not saving children or families or mankind. YOU have some nerve to stand in judgement or give ANY parent advice regarding children or parenting. The only person you YOU should be speaking to are your thousands of child victims, begging their forgiveness and doing everything you can to right your unbelievably inhumane wrongs toward them, in fact you can start with me and 111 of my friends (other Scientology orphans & child victims like me who have gathered together, and are comparing notes, documenting our abuse, and deciding just what to do abut it. Then once you’ve done that, come on back and judge Chris’s parenting. Do you feel my finger?
WOW – Congratulation! What a wonderful reunion for you both. Josh’s mom must be a good person to not force him to be a scientologist. Also, since she’s still in it must have given him a glimpse of why you couldn’t come see him & actively participate in his upbringing. Past is past. Now that y’all have met you can strengthen the father/son relationship. Thanks for sharing your personal story. Aside from that, did you get in trouble for having sex (oh my) outside of marriage?
