Well, I left staff for one. Without getting through the routing form. Although I really tried at first, it just got to be too much for me. (You can read about that
here.)
The other reason listed on my declare is "Engaging in Malicious Rumor Mongering..." Right after I had gotten on the internet and found out the truth about LRH and the Church, I spoke with a couple of people who were connected with Scientology, and told them about it. Actually, one of the people contacted ME and wanted to talk about it, so I did. (He wasn't even a Scientologist, his girlfriend was.) Apparently I was supposed to have told him
that I couldn't talk to him about it.
The other person I spoke to about it was his girlfriend, who was a good friend of mine. I had gotten the idea that she was having the same kind of trouble I was, and I was hoping that she would open her eyes enough to start to see what a crock the church was. But she was in a lot deeper than I was, and I guess she must have gone and reported everything to the Ethics Officer.
I did all that, too.
I had a non-scio friend who was the boyfriend of a Scientologist. He and I were talking and one day he said something about "intellectual honesty". I started thinking about that concept and then realized that, in order to be intellectually honest, I need to duplicate, understand and acknowledge both the pros and the cons of Scientology.
Then I heard myself making knee-jerk responses to critical ideas about Scientology and I realized that I wasn't being totally intellectually honest.
Then I realized that Scientology was the central fascination of my life, and I was not allowing myself to really look at all the information available to me about it.
Then I started looking on the internet.
Then I told my friend's girlfriend about it.
Little did I know that my friend's girlfriend had actually been sent in on me to pump me for info by her mother, an OT 8, very staunch Scio and sometimes OSA snake. My friend's girlfriend reported everything back to her mom.
That's when the following by PIs and the spying and the other stuff began for me. I was a Vice President at a Scio owned marketing company, and they needed to make sure I was an SP before they fired me for reasons other than being an SP.
Man, I was terrified during that period of my life.
It was funny, when I first got my declare it said that after I blew, I contacted Suppressive Persons. At first I thought, "What the hell? I don't know any Suppressive Persons." In fact, I think I'm the first person in my area to be declared in almost ten years. I think that makes me kind of special.
Anyway, I finally figured out that it was referring to getting on Xenu.net and all the other sites that give you the cold hard facts on the Church. And talking to all you other SPs out there.
So, yeah. I'm a blown, rumormongering SP. Right on!
Me too.
Yet you get your declare and I don't have mine.
Some people around me who are still in say that since they haven't seen anything in writing about me, it isn't true. They have all been verbally told about me - the typical 1.1 covert whispering campaigns that OSA and the Church run on people all the time.
But if it isn't written, it isn't true. They say.
So I still am in contact with them.
I tell them all about the stuff I've found on the Internet. Well, not ALL about it - just the stuff they can have - on a gradient, you know.
I sure wish the Church would go ahead and declare me. Then maybe they can stop all the destructive damage I'm doing to their local membership through concepts such as "intellectual Honesty", the free exchange of ideas, the freedom of speech and religion, critical thinking skills and others.
So congratulations, Sky.
You are totally free.
