Tell us more of your story.

Good stuff Zanny.
I'm particularly interested in scientology children and how values are influenced.
Saying "you are just being banky" is a big one that even my sisters still remember. It's a hard way to start a life when you have this invisible monster on your shoulder.

Thanks for sharing zanny
I have several friends who are still in and who brought up
their children in CofS. These children are now staff. Thus,
I am always interested in people who are introduced to
CosS as children.

Thanks FTS, I think you make a good point and you have stimulated my thoughts on how to proceed.

As I said, Don to me was magic. I once told him that he was like a God to me. My mother would tell me things about Don... He could leave his body at will- fully or partially- (partially being just sending out a part of your awareness anywhere you wanted and receiving information.) She told me that- one night he decided he didn't want all his big muscles anymore so he willed them away and the next day he was slimmer and not as bulky. I don't remember him doing this but my mother said it happened and she was there. (IDK):confused2:
He would tell me things like my mind had power over everything and if my mind was strong enough I could effect and change anything. I remember spending hours staring at the tv willing the channel to change or trying to get an object to move with my mind. (I never succeeded ) He gave my the book Dianetics and I tried and tried to read it, but it always put me to sleep.

So add all that with the fact that I never did very well in school and I was just one big "fail" with no power. ( I saw myself that way for a long time)

I don't mean this to turn into a pity party... I am just trying to convey my state of mind.

I think I will take a break and go play with my dog...
She always helps me cheer up!

Thanks for reading,

Keep writing, it helps.

Welcome Zanny and thanks for your story.

Methinks your mother might have embellished this man's talents and abilities.

Scientologist walks into a bar - sees that it's crowded with beautiful young women so focuses his OT powers and "mocks up" that his dick is long enough to touch the floor . . .

WHIZZ ! - BANG ! - A CHERUB APPEARS AND BLOWS ITS HORN ! - SMOKE CLEARS​

. . . the Scientologist's legs have fallen off.

Oh boy, that resonates with me...
It's not a pity party love, you're telling it like it was and perhaps looking at things a different way.

This is exactly what you should be writing. The truth. We love the truth. I don't see any pity yet - in you - or in any one here. Not in their stories, and not for someone with a hard story to tell. If it happened, it happened. Tell it. We 'get it' and understand - all of it.

BTW, I can change the channel on my tv without even trying. If I sit with the remote in my hand, sometimes I have a static charge, and sometimes that charge just discharges into the remote. If my finger happens to be on a #, the channel changes. I wish we had a 'slap my ass' icon.

Welcome Zanny! I'm enjoying the story. Ready for more.

I wish we had a 'slap my ass' icon.

Is this close enough?

 

[Lurker5]

Is this close enough?

That is slapping someone else's ass. I was thinking more in the lines of laughing - slapping my ass for being funny. OR - thinking that I am funny . . . .

Gees, crap. I hate when this happens - the scno hard sell manipulation, not the cliffhangers.

Hiya Zanny! Welcome (somewhat belated), helluva a story so far! Thank you for telling us!

Eagerly awaiting the next installment

Thank-you again for sharing your story zanny; I like the way you're writing it. Except that you got to a good point in the story where you walked out and then you wrote this........

But sadly this is not the end.

This reminds me of a section in Nancy Many's book, "My Billion Year Contract", where she also left CoS for what I thought was the final time, but it also was not the end.

That is slapping someone else's ass.

You have a point here. But life is more rewarding when you're giving rather than receiving.

I haven't read it...I have tried to stay away from reading anything about 'scien' I would get re-stimulated and nervous (and paranoid). That is why I am posting here...I'm hoping to clear all this negative energy away and finally be free of it.

Thanks for the encouragement.

They're extremely manipulative. Also it's a sales driven organization so they use a lot of those techniques. I am not saying this as a compliment, either.
