I am so grateful for the warm welcome I have received here.
I made my decision in 2001 and have never been back but I have also never verbalized any of my feelings.
I did, however, complain incessantly about my disagreements with the church while I was still active. I have never been afraid of being written up or arc-breaking others. I did what I pleased and nobody bugged me because I would preface my statements with 'I am not afraid to say what is on my mind whether you agree with me or not." I have never been someone who just quoted LRH or looked for policy before saying anything. I didn't feel I needed policy to speak my mind. But I did know (and still do) people who were so afraid to say what they were thinking.
So perhaps people were not terribly surprised that I disappeared. I was considered a fringe Scientologist by many staffers even though I was in for over 30 years but mainly on my own terms.
I have other stories to tell and will get around to them in time.
Nothing as hideous as the story of your mother being ripped off that way Dean. That is absolutely horrifying.
