Yes! I do remember Edna! She was only there for a short time. Like other staff members, she wanted to make a difference and found out that reality and the ideal scene were not the same.]]></description>

Wow!  What a horrible but true story.  Davey Miscavige has billions that he bilked from parishioners, and the heroes of the story, the underpaid or never paid staff members, are scratching for room and board.  Shameful!  I knew a woman who left to join staff at Nashville around the time you were in, 2011, and she came back to LA quickly.  I asked what happened in Nashville that she was back here so fast.  She wouldn&#039;t say, but I got that conditions were really bad there.  Thank you for your service.  Glad you&#039;re out!]]></description>

Hey, Cindy! Let me tell you my story! From 2009 to 2011 I was on staff at CCNashville. My staff pay was so low that I couldn’t afford to pay my share of the rent for the house that a few of us were living in. The solution? Leave staff and take a job at Goodwill. Even at twenty nine hours a week at $7.25 an hour I was able to pay back what I owed in rent in a relatively short time! I was able to do in three months what I couldn’t do in two and a half years!]]></description>

Yes you are lucky.  But I have a feeling your soul is growing bigger and bigger by the day.  Just look at the Grinch who stole Xmas.  His soul grew 10 times bigger in one day!  lol]]></description>

I&#039;m so happy to hear that.  Maybe some UTR&#039;s who are in the church and lurking will read your realization here and it will jar something loose from them and they will realize they are connected to a SP group and they&#039;ll leave.]]></description>

Cindy, 

Thank you very much! 

The Scientology Mind control mechanism works like this: You get convinced that any and all bad things that happen to you in Scientology are always and only your fault. 

It was difficult to pry myself loose from that completely, but once I did things have been very, very nice!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So true what he said they tell you if you leave staff:  that you are a Degraded Being, that you&#039;ll get cancer, that you&#039;ll never amount to anything, that you&#039;ll become a cinder for eternity, that you&#039;ll end up flipping burgers at McDonalds if you&#039;re lucky.  Funny thing, I&#039;ve met lots of people who left staff and left Scn for good and all of them are flourishing and prospering, something that never happens for staff.  Andy I&#039;m so glad you beat cancer and are speaking out.  Love your artistic photographs too.  A master at what you do.   Thank you for writing and speaking out.]]></description>
