As a new participant on this board it is apparent to me that the few opinions I have expressed are being dissected by some. I wish to clarify my position.
I hate the Church of Scientology. I hate the wasted years, the 20+ hour/7 days a week for little or no pay. I hate the lies, deceptions, coercions and hypocrisy. The deeper I got in the more evident it became that it was all just a money machine, a cult enslaving others to gain their own greedy ends. I was lucky to have a post which allowed me a modicum of personal freedom and was able to maintain an exterior view of what was happening to me. I got out and have stayed out for 40 years.
But I can't deny how good it felt to have a purpose. I can't deny how good it felt to work with intelligent, caring people who wanted to make a positive difference. I can't deny watching 2nd degree burn blisters disappear before my eyes when using a contact assist. I have yet to find any person, philosophy or organization that is 100% pure evil.
I decided to participate here because I remember the good people I knew 40 years ago. I see that some are in, some are out, and many have been trampled on. I have no desire to reconnect to the church or it's tech. I am not an apologist for the church. All the world's religions have massive amounts of blood on their hands and I want nothing to do with any of them. If any I knew in the past wish to speak to me I welcome them. Peace.
