South African Independent Scientology blog hosts essay by critic Chris Shelton.
Chris's essay is, as always, excellent, but what I found additionally important is that it is being hosted by the South African Independent Scientology blog Scientologists getting back in comm.
Such posting evidences what I've seen as the dialogue on that blog between the conservative, KSW, Miletone Twoish group and the more open-minded and liberal group.
A change will do you good

“Progress is impossible without change,and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything” – George Bernard Shaw
Looking at the ex-Scientology community, the blogs and video channels and Facebook groups, I would say that I have put out my fair share of articles and videos about the abuses and darker sides of the Scientology experience.
Frankly, there has been so much to say that I haven’t yet suffered from anything like writer’s block. Scientology is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to oppression, deception and abuse.
But there is a point to all this and it’s not just to be a critic for the rest of my life. These articles and the videos I make are a form of catharsis and as much as I’m informing and helping others, I’ve also been helping myself.
Given that my life is about to take a dramatic turn for the better, with yet another huge change taking place right now as I write this, I thought I’d take a few moments to talk about how my life has changed for the better since I left Scientology last year.
It can’t really be said enough, so let me start off by again saying that life is so much better now that I’m not a Scientologist. I’m writing this for those who may have also recently (or not so recently) come out of a cult-like environment. Maybe my experiences with this can help you too.
