..................Per the doctrine of Disconnection, Alexander was very carefully watched and manipulated by OSA for the last two years to stay away from his mother. And now, even after Alexander has passed, we can see that the Church of Scientology is still practicing Disconnection.
Thank you Swifty.
I consider Karen a very dear and loving personal friend. I just got off the phone with her about 30 minutes ago and have composed myself enough to write this post.
Karen is completely devastated by the loss of her son who she loved dearly. And on top of this there is the total cruelty of her not being allowed to even see her son's body by a vindictive and hateful cult. My God who does this to a MOTHER!
Karen cried and cried as she told of the years and years she devoted herself to organized scientology, the years of $10 a week, rice and beans, horrible treatment ALL that she did for them and this is what she gets back for it.
And I knew and loved Karen back when we were in Special Unit together in the very early 80s. Just like she is now, she was a caring and loving person going out of her way to help people constantly.
When I was able to get out coherent words in our chat this afternoon, I told Karen that I truly felt that this is something that all people of good hearts will unite around. It does not matter if you're an Indee, and EX or anyone else, I believe all disagreements can be put aside for the moment as many of us try to help in any way we can.
I asked Karen what she would like me to tell people on boards like this, Anonymous and/or EXes, and the first thing she said when she could stop crying was how much she appreciated the outpouring of love and support from everyone on these boards and elsewhere.
The people who are with her now to help her get through these days, those who have called and those who have posted their love are deeply, deeply appreciated.
Karen is getting calls from Indees, EXes who do not believe in Hubbard/scientology, Anons and even public currently in scientology secretly calling to express their support and say how much they hate what the "church" is doing here.
Karen asked me to ask everyone to please call and ask/demand that she be allowed to see her son again. Maybe nothing will come from it but ask anyway.
For God's sake how can ANYONE be this cruel!!!
The place to call is the Cedar Hill Mortuary at 1722 Colorado Blvd in LA. The number there is 323-274-2818. If you live in LA going there would be wonderful.
So far all I can get is an answering machine but I left my message there and will try again. It can't hurt to call if it is in your heart to help here.
There will be more media on this but I pray we not let story die until something is done to help.
So there it is from Karen to us all.
