Rabid Gripers Who “Earn” a Living

“Ruble, who oversees 16,000 Scientologists in three Northwest states, called the Deans ‘rabid gripers’ who are making a career of attacking the church.”

Athena Dean and family members became known as "rabid gripers" long before Sound Doctrine Church.

In fact, some of Athena Dean's family members are known for literally crying in front of police, acting afraid and letting the tears come and go – all to gain advantage over others.

This proves the Bible true again – bad company really does corrupt good character, and God warned us a long time ago.

Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God--I say this to your shame. (1 Corinthians 15:33-34)

Spaghetti dinners become proof of a cult and causing harm. Even physical harm to others is blamed on the victim.

This kind of Athena Dean manipulation is easy to spot when someone brings you a "complaint." There is a senseless, non-thinking, emotional, irrational approach to facts. In fact, it’s classic manipulation. See "Confessions of a Con Artist" in a recent issue of AARP’s magazine – “it’s about emotion, not logic.”

Read about the stoning of Stephen in Acts 7:57 to find out what Athena Dean has stated as her ultimate goal.

Put Athena Dean’s patterns altogether as some have done, and the only real description that fits is: "rabid gripers" who make their living by attacking others. Even Athena Dean admits it:

"The truth is, I've destroyed every close relationship I've ever had in my life because I'm a bully, a manipulator, a liar, a user, and completely arrogant. No wonder I've always gravitated to business and excelled there, because I never have to get close enough to people for them to see the real me. ...I am truly, no better than a man who calls himself a Christian and is well respected by all, who secretly beats his wife and kids at home behind close doors." 

  -Athena Dean, 2011

Of course this is nothing new. After all, Athena Dean confessed to doing this long before Sound Doctrine Church.

Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." (1 Corinthians 15:33)
