Aaron, thank you for sharing your story–and for bringing Goliath on camera. He is awesome! I am sure he has been a big help to you and your family through this. What amazes me is your neighbor actually built a six-foot fence??? That is beyond bizarre!!! I hope your neighbor sees the light one day.

Pup talk aside…I, too, endured physical assault and being shamed and blamed for it. I (a public person) didn’t go to law enforcement, I wrote KRs. The result was me going to ethics for “pulling it in,” while the offender (Clear at the time of incident), got a pass and went on to do OTVII without any address to his crimes–let alone making up any damage!! How does that happen?

That’s Scientology “justice.”

It wasn’t until recently, quite accidentally, I found some old files and the KR’s… When I read my write-ups, it was like I was reading about someone else–not me.. I had blocked out months of bad memories from that time and completely negated myself..

My “ethics handling” was a totally twisted mind f–k, introverting me into thinking it was all my fault and I was just a rotten human being. I felt the pain and he was “totally fine.” For more than a decade, I completely dismissed the fact that someone had committed a crime against me… The trauma never left–but I didn’t see it for what it was. I buried that one deep.

Brainwashing at its worst.

It’s a sick organization that punishes crime victims, gives a nod of approval to the offenders and denies us the right to report crimes for a chance at real justice.

However, I do take solace in the poetic justice: In the years that followed, he went on to waste his life and likely spend more than $300,000 on a bridge to nowhere. So in the end, he is paying for his crimes, locked away in the prison of belief.

I just watched your video very powerful thank you for holding in there and getting it out to us!
i was in the church for a short time in comparison to many but had my share of “crap statements” said to me etc….
im now helping and working with others that want to leave but are not able to do it on there own its a little satisfying knowing i can get under the radar to help and hugely satisfying when yet another person leaves!
what i have seen and heard always makes me think about the Hans Christian Anderson story
“The Emperors new clothes ” every one is either to scared to say something in fear or because they may look Stupid ! the OT levels are a prime example ! who in the right mind can believe it and for many years to afraid to speak out till recently that is….
The same reason i think goes to the reason that people stay “stum” don’t speak out in fear of what they will happen to them ! Brain washing to the extreme.
Its people like you that speak with honesty, conviction and truth that helps to see it as it really is. Please take solace and pride that ever time you do a video you are helping someone to see the truth and say “No ” to the Church!
and just think although it was an assault on you as minor it did in fact stop 2 people joining they saw it for themselves! the horror that goes on! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND THE TIME YOU PUT INTO THEM 🙂

Took my rose-colored glasses off for a minute there…

Aaron, The pc gets blamed for any rape or physical violence against him/her, and yet in auditor bulletin references, LRH says, “There are no dog pcs.” Another LRH inconsistency.

This emotional video might have been the wrong time for me to criticize the length. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Valerie, it is simply a time thing for me. When a guys dog runs in and gets loving attention that extends a video, for example, that is fine, but I’d like an edited version, not a “predigested” version. Edited does not mean predigested.

Lynne: “You are a brave and authentic voice…”

What struck me about Aaron is that he doesn’t seem to have an ulterior motive or any private ends to serve, which can cause bias and result in exaggeration, at best. Aaron is simply there to shed light on the truth as he knows it, which to me is what makes him authentic.
