Well now that's my girl, we are so very proud of you, we were extremely proud of your decision to join the Sea Org, I recall vividly sitting in my vehicle with you discussing the decision we all had made, that it was your time to go and follow your purpose of being a Sea Org member you were just 15 years. You were delivered into the "care' of the SO and Wayne was to be your guardian until you were 18, we all trusted him and I am sure Wayne thought he would discharge his responsibility well, we honestly believed we were doing the best thing, we knew this was a strong purpose of yours and not one we would stand in the way of. To have two daughters in the Sea Org was a point of immense pride at the time.
We handed over a rare diamond, we trusted the group to take exquisite care of you, when you went in you were bright, happy and excited to be there, a mutual friend of ours happened to be there the day Wayne met you in the foyer at the AO and took you into the care of the church, she said you were radiant. We always looked upon our duty to you as being guardians and protectors, keeping you safe until such time as you could do it for yourself and be in a position to realise your potential, we took that role to heart, we still do. Now we were transferring that duty to those in the Sea Org. We would look on but we realised this was your journey now.![]()
The dreadful loss as parents we experienced when you left is really too hard to put into words, the disappointment we all feel is huge,![]()
I am so so sorry ...we readily forgave the let downs when we didn't get to see you at Xmas or the broken agreements for time off, these were disappointments we would live with so long as you were happy and there is the trap, you were never in a position to say you weren't happy.
It took too long for us to get it, shit!
We absolutely expected the group the one group we felt could be trusted above all others to do what they said they would do, their duty was to enable your purposes to be realised and expanded upon, you went in wanting to help. When you were growing up you never had to be "handled" your ethical attitude to things and to life was always above reproach, god I wish I'd had your sense of right and wrong at your age. So to find later they had decided you had to be "handled" scrubbing dumpsters and the likes we knew was an effort to crush you and make you over into someone other than who you are, something like them.![]()
We now know they never intended to do more than what they did...they intended to betray your trust, your faith, your good intentions and mould you into something less than than they could only ever wish to be.![]()
But you were too much for them!!! So it is thanks to you and your guts and determination that you wouldn't submit to their domination.![]()
Good on you my girl may you never be put in that situation again.
It is very very good to have you out and that is an understatement.

Today our girl, Jordi, has been out of the SO 3 years and she is doing very very well in life.
Although we have had our challenges due to the conditioning, degradation and mindf**king she received while in the SO. I believe we are through the worst of it and she's well and truly in control of her life and loving it.
For those who don't know our girl I would like to share with you what Jordi has done to ensure others are aware of the cult and its deceptive ways.
ABC 4 Corners program viewed on 8 March 2010:

Her story on 4 Corners triggered the investigation by Fair Work into the CoS here in Oz which was an 18 month investigation and although the result was not in her favour the Slater & Gordon class action was also a result of our 4 Corners program and is ongoing. Note: you can still contact Slater & Gordon and register your interest in the class action as well as making a formal complaint to Fair Work.
She also featured in the New Idea article see thumbnails below.
So a lot has happened since we rescued her from the AOSH ANZO. We are delighted she is home and she is loving life. She is about to go into her 4th year as an apprentice hairdresser and once she is finished she would like to go to Uni and study law. She has time, money and energy to do whatever she decides
We are making a difference with the recent media i.e. the Guiders, Ramada's, Debbie Cook and upcoming Shane Kelsey and Dean, Scooter who have also been on in the last 6 months. We know we have stemmed the flow into the orgs, we know the public are more aware of what this cult is capable of. And this is a very good thing.
Speaking up for your rights is one of the most beneficial things an ex SO and staff member and Scio can do. It takes courage, strength and a good support team i.e. family, friends, Senator Xenophon, Cherished, Members of ESMB and other forums, the media who have stuck by us, Today Tonight's Bryan Seymour, ABC Lateline, New Idea, ACA, ABC 4 Corners here in OZ. I apologise in advance if I have left anyone out
So the Anderson family would like to say THANK YOU for your support and we definitely looking forward to see what else will be rolling out in 2012.![]()
Welcome to ESMB!
Thanks for the start to your story, looking forward to more.
I spent 6 years in the Sea Org and most of it was hell.
One of the reasons Scn got so messy is that it was all started by a "Science Fiction" writer.
And as someone said on another thread I read today is that he thought elron made it up as
he went along. elron was a creative genius. Only in his case his creative genius was in science fiction,
so transitioning from writing science fiction novels into the science fiction of the Operating Thetan was
duck soup to him. And it made him a fortune. Not to say that some processes don't work. Dianetic auditing
is very effective in running out engrams and psychosomatic illnesses and "touch assists" often work quite well.![]()
Hubbards own son, L. Ron Hubbard Jr., said that most of what LRH touted as his own ideas, he really stole from others.
I did not know that; however, you could very well be right. I think most of his kids dropped the religion--"If you can't even keep your own kids in the loop, then why should you expect the general public to stay in, and either work long hours in an empty org. for almost no pay, or pay through the nose for overpriced training or auditing."
