If you are reading this, chances are 99% that you are an Ex-Scn.
Ciao to any OSA "freedom fighters" who bravely battle the forces of evil here. (actually they really are "freedom fighters" because they do fight vs freedom! lol)
We really need a world-class EXPERT for this one. Someone who was in Scientology. "In" like paying for "total freedom" in. And that person would have to be now out. Hey, that means that YOU are the expert.
Here's the question: What is the reason, the viewpoint, the concept that Scientologists have about WHY YOU BECAME AN EX-SCIENTOLOGIST.
All that is needed to to simply recall what YOU thought of people who left, blew, got declared, squirreled. What did you think was the reason they were in and then (later) they were out.
Here is the quirky catch, however: IF SOMEONE IS AN ACTIVE SCIENTOLOGISTS AND THEY ARE GETTING GAIN, BECOMING MORE ABLE, GROWING MORE ETHICAL, UNDERSTANDING THE TECH BETTER, USING THE TECH MORE, GOING UP THE BRIDGE TO EVER-HIGHER LEVELS......THEN HOW DOES THAT PERSON REGRESS AS A BEING TO A LEVEL THAT IS EVEN LOWER THAN WHEN THEY FIRST GOT IN SCIENTOLOGY???
In other words, Joe Theta gets into Scn and starts moving up the "bridge" on January 1, 2000. Mr. Theta spends the next 9 years doing courses and auditing, gets up to OT VII, spends $360K, trains thru the Briefing Course, PTS Course, etc. etc.
Now on July 4th 2009 (9 years later) some kind of fireworks goes off in Joe Theta's head and he leaves Scientology.
All the org staff and his friends and family all KNOW why he left (they say they do).
Here is the question: How and why is it that Joe Theta is LESS AWARE, LOWER TONED, MORE OFF PURPOSE, FURTHER OFF SOURCE, MORE OUT ETHICS & MORE EFFECT on July 4th 2009 than he was on January 1st 2000.
On Jan 1 2000 he was an "active and ethical scientologist". He knew Ron was source. He knew the tech worked. He gave all his money and time to go OT. He studied everything and applied it all and knew that it all worked perfectly 100% of the time. He was a Scientologist, dedicated glaring TR-O and all.
How did he move UP THE BRIDGE for 9 years and end up "worse" than he was on day one.
You are the expert (me too) cuz we once "knew" the answer. We knew why a scientologist became an ex.
What would you have thought or said back in the day when someone became an ex-scn?
I am gonna think it over and post my "expert opinion" too....
Very interested to see what the experts have to say.....
