Ozzie,
It is difficult to give a follow-up response to this story. Like FTS, I feel almost guilty hearing about the violence you sustained because I got away.
Then again, I did not have children on the inside to be concerned about, or other family members for that matter. I was not stuck between a rock and a hard spot, as you were.
While Scientology public were being told how important silence in pregnancy is,
and all the Tom Cruises in the world break their arms patting themselves on the back for being so consciencious about new life,
And Diantetics dictates the importance of life in the womb,
........this dedicated Sea Org member of many years service was being abused on her way to the delivery room and later battered in front of her children, while those children were being abduced from her!
As if that were not enough.....to cap it off the evil deed of turning her own child against her.
Again, the exploitation of the innocent.
Just in case anyone is still curious about why so many of us feel so deeply negative about Scientology in general,
....Remember that some of us were near the very top of the org board, and saw what was really happening.
The intense out tech, the use of policy to destroy others, the re-write it as you go handlings done on staff.
As a former member of management, I know that things like this occurred and regularly.
Ozzie, Bless you for what you have endured and for the courage that you mustered up to do the right thing and get your children out of there.
Bless you for taking risks to get this story out. I know that you are now on the shit-list for writing it. To hell with them. They will reap what they have sown.
If anyone messes with you....let me know.
Love dear friend,
Duddins
