I should have posted this 2 weeks ago, but I found out that I have been declared a suppressive person by the C of $!
Two weeks ago I received a random message on Facebook stating that they had heard I was declared on the 10th of September and that I should not be in contact with Scientologists in good standing. Feeling miffed that some person with no authority whatsoever would tell me such a thing, I sent an email to my CJC asking if the message was true. The CJC confirmed it was true that I had been declared a suppressive person.
I immediately felt the last vestiges of the grip of Scn lift from me! I found this out on a Friday and told my closest friends, both ex SO and non Scn alike the good news and proceeded to party hard!
Being declared a suppressive person by a suppressive organization is a good thing right? Two negatives = a positive!
I want to thank everyone on this message board who is brave enough to share their stories and opinions. When I first left the C of $ 2 years ago I was still under their control and would justify their actions and still thought I may be a Scn later despite the fact that I blew the SO after finally seeing how insane it was. My first 6 months was lonely in that I felt alone in my feelings that something was wrong. I wasn't alone by any means and had reconnected to many close friends pre Scn and was very happy, however...I still felt alone.
Around 6 months of leaving I found this site. The therapeutic value has been priceless! I've reconnected with old friends I thought I would never hear from again and made new ones. It has been a godsend.
This site, anonymous, resuming my college education and just living life in its infinite wonder and beauty has gotten me out of my Scn loving zombie trance. Over the last 6 months I started to point out the shortcomings of the C of $ to various staff and ex SO who contacted me on various channels. I have firecly defended being connected to friends who have been declared. Through these actions I have earned the sweet distinction of being a suppressive person to a suppressive group.
I've been elated for two weeks straight!
Power to everyone here!
