[…] Scientology claims disconnection is a “personal choice” — but in reality the “choice” is either remain in scientology and disconnect from the person who has been deemed a Suppressive, or refuse to disconnect, be declared yourself and have friends, family, employers and employees disconnect from you. It’s a literal Sophie’s Choice and some (like Sara Goldberg) have had to choose between their children. When someone else is dictating your “choice” it is not a “personal choice.” (Here is an earlier article I wrote on this subject: Disconnection — Scientology’s Spin). […]

In reply to Balletlady. Believe it or not I recently spoke to a OT8 friend of mine and we discussed disconnection and he has never heard of such a thing. I gave him a few hints of people to look into because he told me he would never support disconnection. I told him it exists so look into it. I doubt he will. I also brought up TC and Suri as an example and he said "oh TC sees Suri all the time". I said oh really why do you think this? He said because people in the church have told him so. He doesn't believe in People magazine so that didn't work either. It is really difficult to get through to some people.

In reply to #1 Son. Did it not take a great deal of "religious" faith, to believe that LRH was going to make his followers gods with superpowers? Even we people became an OT, and didn't become some form of God?

When two people outside of Scientology decide to end their relationship, the results generally affects only those two individuals. It usually does not spread to include other mutual associates such as co-workers, family members, neighbours, etc. But with Scientology, disconnection leads to COMPLETE withdrawal of contact from ALL Scientologists everywhere, not just the one Scientologist who was directly involved in the dispute.

Another difference: it’s quite possible to have a disagreement with someone yet still retain civility, respect and good relations with that person. Not so with Scientology. A critic or an ex-Scientologist are labelled as “suppressives” and are only seen as “enemies” of Scientology, nothing less.

In reply to Wynski. Wynski, when you put it like that, I understand your comment.

In reply to Spike73. Xenu, Sea Org, LRH becoming Captain Bligh, S.O. Missions to orgs to "manage them", HEAVY ethics in the Church was born. On and on. It was the single biggest nuttiness on the timeline. Come on, everyone in the Church knows about 1967.

In reply to Wynski. I'll bet there were several waves of 'nuts'. What happened in '67?
