Is it possible that L. Ron Hubbard has already reincarnated and, while in hiding, developed a romantic relationship with Shelley similar to how he did with Sara Northrup, leading David Miscavige to have them exiled?
It’s cute hearing the kids play in the background. We love real life! It’s nice to hear about the good days also. I have a hard time remember the good days so thank you.
Jenna thank you for sharing. It must be hard to separate your feelings of missing your family and the anger for what they did. I’m sorry this happened to you.
I’m so glad that you had periods of nice family memories. It’s great to hear your own kids making happy memories of their own! Great stream again Jenna ❤
Thank you for sharing all of this. It sounds like your uncle Dave was a reasonable human being before he became an absolute monster. Also sounds like Shelly was very nice. It’s a shame what happened to both of them.
It feels so weird to hear that he was nice and gave her nice gifts and then when you think about all the evil things he has done with Scientology. I suppose no one is fully evil and maybe power changes people.
Thank you for listening❤ I'm sure at this time even when he was nice to me, he was probably being not so nice to people who weren't his little niece. But I do think it shows a human side to him early on.
You are such a delight .... and your story is fascinating. Thank you for sharing ( and loved the happy voices in the background. You're giving your children such a different experience than you had.)
all things scientology aside, it seems like you have some pretty wholesome memories of shelly and dave. really sad that cults strip ppl of basic humanity and ability to act with affection and dignity towards everyone. i'm deeply sorry for your family's loss there, jenna.
Love hearing your kids be kids! They weren’t loud at all. This was a great video, and I’m really looking forward to part 2. You have an experience and insight that is unique to only you on this planet! Thank you for sharing, opening up, and being real. I hope it helps you as well. ❤️💐
I love hearing these memories /stories. It’s not like watching a structured video, but like listening to a friend. I think that’s what I like best. Good Job and this is such a great video idea..
I met your father once at Snow Summit in Big Bear. Maybe you were there that day! I was there to meet someone else from the base, someone I wasn't really allowed to be in touch with the rest of the year. She was lucky to be there that day, and she introduced me to your father. It made quite a story.
Jenna, you are always a breath of fresh air, as the saying goes. You are an excellent storyteller as well! BTW love hearing the kids playing 😊😊 especially today because my youngest grandkids went back home yesterday and, despite the noise and chaos of a 6 1/2 year old and a 3 1/2 year old😮
Fun fun!! nothing makes me happier than screaming babies :-) also, I’m so happy that you got to have some good childhood. Can’t wait for the next part.
I'm glad you mentioned the cognitive dissonance.....I spent most of this video in amazement at the amount of family contact you had (I didn't get a fraction of that as a never-in).....and how D & S seemed to think it was important to teach you things and have laughs and stay in contact, whether for their pleasure or yours, and yet they don't think anyone else's kids deserve that.
Lovely stories, your family sound like good people at heart. Its sad that Scientology prevented you guys from being closer. Thank you so much for sharing. Your voice is so soothing! I felt like I was being read a bed time novel.
Thank you for the story, it was very interesting. I am glad that you have at least some nice memories with your family. You are such a strong woman, if your uncle was smart he would be so proud of you. Keep telling your stories, please!
❤ How wonderful for you to share these memories with us. It makes me happy that you were able to have a warm relationship with your aunt and uncle when you were a small child. It also breaks my heart to hear that the beautiful home you SHOULD have been able to grow up in was only a place you were allowed to visit, and had to then return to the stark contrast and coldness of the sea org, being separated from your parents, and any semblance of a normal childhood. It occurred to me, when I was listening to you read Shelly’s letters- I so hope that she was allowed to keep your letters to her. I hope that, by re-reading them throughout these past years, your letters have brought her comfort from those (relatively) old happier days. Lastly: I loved hearing the screams and happy sounds of the kiddos’ water balloon fights! 😅 That’s the way it should be! 😊
Long story short, I literally kicked my husband out for yelling at the kids and making them cry, because they were laughing too loud. Babies laughing and bird song is NEVER noise.
This brought up a lump in my throat. I wish my mother had done the same. As a grown woman I am still too afraid to make noise in my own house, I have my Bluetooth speaker right next to me so it’s not too loud.
@@BeigeEmoI'm autistic and I was chastised for 'being too loud' something that was part of my natural expression that I've now repressed to an extremely unhealthy. I now can barely speak above room volume because my anxiety literally prevents me from speaking louder without needing to look over my shoulder.
@@BeigeEmo I still have lasting emotional trauma from that forced masking. I don't even feel like I can de mask at home, not at least while my parents are still here.
Hi Jenna, I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm a never in, and I support you and your fight to end COS. I bought your book the day it came out! I like all the subjects you talk about, you're just you and very real. I genuinely enjoy listening to you!
Do you think that that the power went to his head and dehumanized him? Its alway good to see there was once a real decent human there. I was married to my ex 33 years and although he was abusive in everyway before the ministry he would later become the pastor in several church throughout the years and although he wasnt physically abusive he became abusive in other ways like using his authority and power to find other ways to get to me, like telling me I need to be submissive because... It really went to his head. Btw ive been divorced and a way from him and the chains of the church for 15 years, and free and happily married to a beautiful man that saved my life. Some of the cult stuff is so interesting but can be triggering sometimes because of stuff a a preachers wife I had to endur, and I have to have a time out! I love your style of videos Jenna! ❤
It’s great that you have memories that seem to bring you joy. I agree with you comment about the human element with David and Shelly. It seems that they treated you as a surrogate daughter since they didn’t have children if their own. Just a thought. I have family in Vermont and love going there in the fall leaving season. Definitely a special place for me. Holidays and special gatherings sounded fun and having positive affirmations from Shelly and David was something that helped you at that time. I’m old school. I’m still a pen and paper person. Great topic. Hope you’re having a great week.
All the love from a makeup artist in New Hampshire ❤❤❤ you’re amazing, Jenna! Such a strong woman. Sending you all the good, healing vibes. I really hope that your aunt is okay and safe somewhere and pray that you get to see her again one day.. she sounds like such a wonderful soul. Your kiddos sounded like they were having a blast! You’re such a great mama and I’m so thankful you got yourself out of CoS. You deserve all the happiness and I really appreciate your bravery when it comes to talking about your experiences, I’m sure it’s not easy at all. We love you Jenna ❤
I loved listening to your stories about your childhood memories. It was so interesting to hear about Dave and Shelly from your perspective. I also live in NH, it's so beautiful up in the New England area ❤
Listening to you speak about your uncle and hearing the fondness in your voice was so thought provoking. Is it sometimes hard for you to hear all of the mean and negative comments about him, or have you been able to separate the two Dave’s, the fun Uncle and the not so fun dictator?
It’s so hard to grasp the fact that this is real life for people. Families are being torn apart by this cult; even right now, still. It’s mind blowing. How far removed from reality do you have to be; to care about an organization, over a human being that you brought into this world? To completely relinquish parental control, and allow others to raise that child? I seriously can’t even begin to understand. My children are the most important people on this entire planet. Are these people literally having children to give to the Sea Org? Because that’s what it seems like. It’s much easier to gain control of a child. And, if children weren’t being born into this madness, I don’t think it would have lasted this long.
So fascinating to hear about your relationship with Shelly & Dave. I get the feeling it's gonna get ugly in part 2. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, Jenna! 💚🩵🩷
Oh man , Bug Bear’s wonderful . I’m happy to hear you didn’t have to spend every holiday on a Org base. It’s good to know you have some good daily holiday memories . It’s crazy old uncle Dave couldn’t even be bested by an Olympian at his own sport . A wealth of self-confident .”
Thank you for sharing all of this, Jenna. It’s really interesting to hear about the days before your uncle Dave got really rough - as reported by others who worked with him. It seems that your aunt Shelley never lost her humanity, but also she’s a true believer, based on the content of the letter that you read and the recollections you gave us. Sadly, even as she’s exiled, Shelley likely truly believes she’s doing the best work she can do for Scientology.
#Replay crew There's nothing more heartwarming than hearing kids delightful playful squeals, enjoying the fun! Love your content & sincerely appreciate you spending your precious time answering our questions. Your authentic humility, honesty & empathy shines bright in all that you do.

It's awful how Scientology separates children from their parents and the rest of their families. How on earth do they recover from that lonely childhood. I'm so sorry that you went through that. But every survivor like yourself is bright, empathetic, curious and loving. Not even Scientology can remove the goodness in people.
Well, many mammal mothers will nurse a species babe if the babe's mother was not available or they just share if all raised together ie 1) a mother dog nursing a baby racoon or kittens 2) cat and dog family where there are both mothers will nurse the other species babes I've seen this in many YT shorts You are a very kind and strong person and I appreciate you sharing your story with us. Thank you for your time.
You're always so peaceful when you speak, it's very relaxing. I'm wondering if you ate raw potatoes after what your aunt said? The Irish potato famine comes to mind. Also, I'm glad you can have some good memories of your childhood. Blessings and peace
I just finished listening to your book, I loved it! My question: is there anyone from the Ranch/Flag/Sea Org that is still in and you’ve been unable to contact? What do you want to tell them?
Thank you Jenna. That was very interesting. I've always wondered how they treated you. So at one time, DM was a person. I'm glad that you got away though. How are you treated now?
Did you experience earthquakes at the ranch? What was the drill? I remember experiencing them when my family lived in La Crescenta. I was on a play daye when a big one happned. My friends mom had us all sit under the kitchen table for over an hour. She put a blanket on the table to make it feel like a fort and told us we were camping. I was in kindergarten.
Thanks for sharing this, Jenna. It's so interesting to hear your experiences. When you hear your own kids outside screaming and playing, do you relate it to your cousins playing when you visited them? Or do you compare in any way to you as a kid? Also, if someone who follows your TH-cam were to see you in public, would you want them to just pass you by or would you feel threatened if they said hello (not in a stalking way at all). Just wondering, as I live in your county.
I think its wonderful that you are “free” of this so called church and your babies are outside having a water balloon fight. Thats a little bit of justice for baby you ♥️
It was quite touching to listen to you remembering the childhood moments you spent with David and Shelly, and also actually a sort of heartbreaking to hear about the humane side of that thoroughly indoctrinated and completely demonized cult leader uncle of yours.
It must be so disappointing that “Much Love” doesn’t mean much love at all and is used for everyone. It just diminishes the individual and the broader concept of love.
Whoa, Dave seems like a nice uncle. Glad you had good memories with them. Did they treat Justin the same way? What kind of letters did Jenny Linson send you? (Everytime an sptv creator mentions her name, it's always disdainfully).
I think Scientologists treated Willow and Jaden Smith "better than everyone else" when they were growing up too. They behaved very arrogantly and I remember thinking that Scientology was behind their behavior. Jada and Will Smith are of course Scientologists and their kids did not go to school. Willow said school wasn't necessary for her. Poor kids.
How things could have been different without Scientology, you could have just been a normal family, this video made me kind of sad. Happy that you have some good childhood memories and that Dave and Shelly where nice to you as a child, I wonder if Shelly specially inside would have wanted a child.
I definitely couldn't renember all that stuff from when I was under 13... I can obviously renember things i learn but details of what I did decades ago are just not there... and that most definitely includes things LIKE , I said this , then she said that and he WAS doing that
Depending on how you navigate the mountain it’s about 45 mins from Big Bear Lake, the closest point to Big Bear’s town center. It’s a wide spread community tho and many people live out in the woods in smaller homes. 😊
Funny that you thought that what your dad and uncle were saying was "blah blah blah" because, it turns out that you were exactly right all along. 🤣

I was not expecting to hear the big guys in scientology do Christmas celebrations.
It just occurred to me that if you let me know when you were going live, I could start comments for you!🎉❤
Oh no, a cliff hanger! I can't wait for part two.
Things started to change for me when I was 11. So, where the f--- is Shelly now?

Water balloon fights are the best! We used to have epic ones!
Ive never gone anywhere for christmas. Or any other holiday. Funerals if immediate family only. All my memories of family are connected ti death.
Do you talk anywhere about the last time you saw Shelly and where you think she is? Do you think she's still alive?
I don't 😢

raw potatoes can do some bad stuff to your gut..I guess Shelley is a scientology scientist.😂
