I have to agree with Tiger Lily - the only possible thing that concerns me these days is the embaressment if my friends knew I was a Scientologist.
However, Ive gotten over the whole thing to the point now where if OSA or anyone else from the Church ever tried to communicate to ANYONE in my life IN ANY WAY, I wouldnt hesitate to contact Today Tonight, the Sunday Times, and and all media, to tell my story and name names. Ive made that very clear.
OSA will not touch anyone who is a "media risk". Have it in writing on this forum that you will tell all if they f#ck with you, and they wont touch you with a bargepole.
This is the face of OSA for Washington, DC. She shakes us down to our little booties (or sandals as the case may be).

There's also her little OSA helper who's 18 and most of the Anons I know would like to ask her out rather than run in terror.
I swear to God, every time I see the title of this thread I think it reads "The Sphincter of OSA".
Hai OSA
One year, of speaking out against them, going to protests and shaking my butt at them, and generally being an enormous pain in their ass. And I never even got a Cease and Desist letter! (Which means I haven't had a Cease and Desist cookie party like all the other cool kids. If an unemployed guy who was emotionally and mentally "burnt out" can do it, no one has any excuses.
. I've begun speaking out LOUDLY, so everyone within 10 feet can hear....after I had left [scientology]...in line in McDonalds...
...I recognised one as a friend...when I had been on staff...
...[his] look of...HATRED and DISGUST...
...deliberately turning his back on me...
. I've begun speaking out LOUDLY, so everyone within 10 feet can hear.
. And I snarl SCIENTOLOGY in almost every sentence.
. I've done this three times now, it feels great!
.
. HEY JOE, haven't seen you since we were on staff at SCIENTOLOGY!
. Do you still work 80 hour weeks at SCIENTOLOGY, for 20 cents an hour?
. Does the sea org still make people sign billion year contracts? HA HA HA
. That's because SCIENTOLOGY believes in past lives, right? HA HA HA
. If people drop out of the sea org, do they still become degraded beings?
. Do sea org women still have to get ABORTIONS, or be declared suppressive?
. SUPPRESSIVE PERSON, that's a SCIENTOLOGY term, isn't it?
. Joe, Joe, can't you hear me?
. Does SCIENTOLOGY still have an OFFICE OF SPECIAL AFFAIRS, OSA?
. Does OSA still BLACK PR people declared as SUPPRESSIVE PERSONS.
. Tell me Joe, BLACK PR, that's a SCIENTOLOGY term, isn't it.
. Does OSA still BLACK PR suppressives to their friends, family, neighbors, work, customers, vendors, at church, restaurants?
. Does OSA still tell everybody something embarrassing about suppressives?
. Does OSA still get other people to fight their battles for them?
. Does OSA still enlist others in their BLACK PR campaign against you?
. You know, get people do it for free, "You have this coming dirt bag!"
. But really, we all have something to be embarrassed about, right? (look them in the eye when you say this, they will agree, gulp).
. That's some church you belong to there, Joe, SCIENTOLOGY.
. Look me up when you blow staff at SCIENTOLOGY, we'll have a cold one.
. See you later, Joe.
.
. You've just black PR'd scientology to 20 people who were listening in.
.
. This shocks people, they never hear the word, SCIENTOLOGY.
.
. A week ago, I mentioned to an office manager, scientology was harassing me.
. He was shocked, I'd said a dreaded word; scientology.
. A few days later he saw me again, and he asked me about it.
. I stood there and lambasted scientology for 20 minutes.
. I was talking loudly enough so both of his secretaries could hear me.
. Plus a handful of passers by, making sure each of them could hear me.
. Nobody had to be sneaky about eavesdropping.
. He inferred that I was paranoid.
. I said every scientologist staff member has been put into lower conditions.
. After that you are definitely paranoid about ever going back again.
. Then I continued on with more examples of scientology head-screwing.
. I made sure to mention they black PR you to everyone.
. And they get those people to black PR you for free, you have this coming.
. Then OSA/PI's sit back and watch.
. He motioned like pulling strings with puppets, yes I said like The Godfather.
. He was shocked over and over.
. Whenever he looked like disbelief, I said, Google "xyz + scientology".
. By the way, he was one of the folks the PI's had black PR'd me to.
. I said, scientology has a different definition of "ethics" than you and I.
. To you and I it's don't steal, don't fool around with your neighbor's wife.
. To scientology it means, "the greatest good for the greatest number".
. That means it's ok for them to lie, as long as it helps scientology.
. Sure I hired away your best employee, but I was just being ethical.
. Somehow that won him over, just in case I said, "google scn ethics".
. Time will tell how effective I was.
. I told him I don't know how they got me to join staff.
. But when I wanted to leave, they threatened me, said I had to route off.
. They they weren't available to let me route off. So I had to "blow" staff.
. Then the called me daily, send massive amounts of mail to me. Daily.
. Don't believe me, google "scientology routing off staff".
. I said scientology was just one head-screw after another.
. I said the won't pass you out of class A until you're signed up class B.
. That's when I dug in my heels, I refused to pay for B, Mexican standoff.
. And I am proud to say, I have never passed out of a scientology class.
. It was a communications class, innocent sounding enough.
. He laughed, at that, but after a while he started to believe me.
. I went on and on, for 20 minutes.
. It was the most openly overt hatchet job I've ever done on scientology.
. And it felt fing great!
. Anyway, one approach is to black PR scn, is to say it for 10 people.
. Call it your "coming out" party.
. I realize many people can't do it for family reasons. But it feels good.
. My level of harassment has doubled since arriving at ESMB.
. I've begun speaking out LOUDLY, so everyone within 10 feet can hear.

A week or so earlier, I had mentioned to the office manager, that scientology was harassing me, for speaking out.That guy must have walked away wondering what he had done to pull you in! hehee! Ill definitely try to get up the guts to do this if it ever happens again.
Good post Cantsay, You are so right.
lol -- yea I've been tempted to put together some sort of "cult awareness" program for schools -- a parent/child/community education program. I think there would be value in educating people about how the mind can be manipulated. It came up on another thread and kind of grabbed my attention, and would be a great use for my background in education.
Of course, I can't do that while I'm anonymous (lower case "a"), but if I was outed or harassed I might seriously consider doing it. I would have a great personal story then too!
-TL
I often get asked why I speak freely to the goals & mission of OSA staff but refuse to demonize the specific individuals involved. I believe, like many of us here that were Scientologists, and those that remain in the church, had honest & idealistic reasons & motives for doing so, and doing the things we did to KSW, even when our actions were viewed by the outisde world as unethical and/or criminal.
I believe that propaganda has always played a highly effective role in Scientology's indoctrination process, much like that which Nazi propaganda played on citizenry during the WWII era. I'm not claiming Scientology toes the line with Nazi ideology, but there are alot of correlations.
