[…] The TRs are drills that are part of Scientology’s Communication Course. The EP, or end phenomenon (the bizarre name for what you get from a Scientology class or service), of the course is that the student will be “able to communicate freely with anyone on any subject,” which as we’ve also already discussed is a big fat lie.

TC, Your write ups are fantastic. You are a good writer and have a great ability to articulate some very important aspects of life in and out of Sci. Keep ’em coming.

In reply to Terra Cognita. Not going to lie, for some reason, on all of these posts, I pictured a woman, it probably was the name. Although, whether I thought a woman or a man wrote these, it wouldn't matter. The writing and thoughts are top notch.

In reply to I Yawnalot. Cult-induced pharmaphobia. Regrettably, I have personal experience with this. As a scientologist you are generally primed to fear and/or despire the medical profession. Of course, those pushing the message, who 'want the best for you' also seem to earn a tidy sum selling alternatives. The more I look, the more I wonder if humanity functions as predator/prey. The cruel and cunning gorging on the naive and hapless.

In reply to Terra Cognita. Thanks for the reply. I was really curious what would make someone change and become disillusioned. It sounds like their own ethics actions caused your change. I'm glad you are adapting well and speaking out. This is a good blog where you can explore issues and your feelings about the group now that you are no longer active (or at least under the radar, as I believe many members are). Thanks for the thoughtful essays. :-)
