I have been out of scientology for 3 years now and every now and then I run into scientology friends who like to let me know the latest gossip.
There is a False Report about me that has been circulated amongst still-in public concerning the two Flag Chaplains who made an uninvited visit to my home on November 4th, 2008. This report was obviously made immediately after *they* failed to meet their target of *handling* me.
According to my sources the report states that, when these 2 Flag Chaplains came a-knocking on my door, I allegedly screamed abuse at them through a window. Of course that would imply that I was crazy and extremely rude.
Not so. This is a False Report.
What actually happened is this;
There was a knock on my door. When I opened the door there were 2 women standing on my doorstep. There was no "Hello", no "Good afternoon", no basic common courtesy from them. With a glare, the tall one asked, "Are you Jenni Gibbons?" to which I replied, "And you are?"
As I simply did not answer the question, she took the same position and wouldn't answer mine. These 2 questions went backwards and forwards half a dozen times before finally the tall one answered my question.
Muttering under her breath she said " I'm ### and this is ### and we are Chaplains sent from Flag. Are you Jenni Gibbons?" I said "Yes"
She said, "We are here to interview you and find out who you have been talking to. Have you been speaking to #### #####? Who have you been talking too?"
I took a deep breath and said "I am so sorry that you have travelled all this way. We have looked at the data, evaluated the data and have decided that we are no longer scientologists. Once again, I am sorry that you have made this long journey." (This is EXACTLY what I said.)
They both started talking at the same time demanding to know, "Who have you been talking too?"
I repeated my earlier statement " I am so sorry that you have travelled all this way. We have looked at the data............etc."
This went backwards and forwards about a dozen times. (I got to practice my TR3!)
Finally, after standing on my doorstep for about 10 minutes with this conversation definitely not going their way, I said "As I have already said we have looked at the data, evaluated the data we are no longer scientologists. Once again I am sorry you have travelled all this way for no product. Thank you and goodbye", I very gently closed the door.
Now obviously, more things were said (by the Chaplains) and certain accusations were levelled at me but I am not going to bore you with their crap.
The only question of theirs that I actually answered was "Are you Jenni Gibbons?" to which I replied, "Yes".
At no stage did they ask to be allowed into my home and at no stage did I offer to let them in (that was, of course, never going to happen).
At no time did I speak harshly to them or behave in a rude manner. I spoke with a gentle smile on my face in an upbeat manner. I sure as hell was not "screaming at (them) through a window".
I did not slam the door in their faces, I did not slam anything. There was no yelling or raised voice from me.
Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for these two representatives from Flag 'The Friendliest Place on Earth and Mecca of Technical Perfection'.
In short, I was extremely courteous and polite throughout the encounter.
Now, the reason I am writing this is to correct the False Report by the Flag Chaplains that is being circulated amongst ANZO scientologists and which is probably the version reported up-lines.
I want the truth to be reported, not a false version of events designed to save someone's skin because they failed in their assigned task.
Perhaps Flag should consider that if it wasn't for their own and OSA's idiotic actions, I wouldn't even be posting here!
