It really sucks the evil the church does to children. That was a rough story, glad you are free from them.
VWD on getting a Declare - it proves you ARE a good person.
Just watch out for Alanzo, 'cause he'll be really jealous since he still can't get one.
Thank you.
It was not an easy thing to write. It hasn't been easy dealing with the fallout, either. My immediate (Scilon) family's reaction has been pretty bad. Basically they told me that they don't give a damn what happened to me, I still have to shut up about it, because it makes Scientology look bad (even tho it's true... Scilon logic that I used to wholly believe but now find abhorrent). There's a lot more actually, but not things I feel comfortable posting on the net at the moment. Suffice it to say that my family knows, and doesn't think it's important. Of course now I don't have to listen to them tell me to be quiet anymore because they are gone. But still I think it was worth it. It was really important for my own peace of mind to get some of that out there.
And if I have helped even one person get out (or not join) I would count it worth all the trouble.
Scientology seems to specialise in the creation of dysfunctional relationships.
And yes, to have good, happy, working relationships I have had to throw everything I grew up with out the window, and learn how "wogs" do it. It works much better!
Thank you.

Well, my mother for one doesn't see it that way. She completely denies most of what I have said. What she doesn't deny she says was a one-time thing. So that logic fails on her. It's not true. I'm not lying nor am I crazy. Some days I do have to remind myself of that, tho. :confused2:
btw I uploaded a few pics from the old days.
