The C of S puts out these really warm fuzzy feel good videos painting itself as an ultra hip religion when in truth the ugly practice of disconnection plays out like invasion of the body snatchers. Wolf/sheep&#039;s clothing. Utterly despicable, I think this slow death process we are all witnessing in the cult is so richly deserved, after all they took so much from so many for so long.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I hope a Hollywood movie producer goes to see it and decides it should be a major motion picture.  That&#039;s my postulate!  Maybe enough embarrassment over this subject (DISCONNECTION) will make some changes or get more persons to think about this horrible practice.

I could rant for hours on this subject, having been through it with my son, whom I successfully got back into communication with me.  I started a group called MOMS AGAINST DISCONNECTION (MAD) and the slogan was &quot;And yes, we&#039;re MAD about it! (Disconnection).  I consulted a world class attorney and threatened lawsuit, and was very loud and vocal about it!  I wrote an open letter to David Miscavige  and sent it to his personal attorney, the same one who declared, along with Tommy Davis on CNN,  &quot;There is no policy of Disconnection&quot;.  A relatively short time later the CJC at Flag, whom I had come to know very well, declared my son Type B (connected to someone threatening suit) and that was the end of that (the disconnection)!!!!!

I also sent e-mails to CJC Flag and other officials in the Church indicating that if they didn&#039;t stop giving my son wrong indications, they would soon have another Lisa McPherson on their hands, as he would get in trouble every time he disconnected from me, within three or so days.  The last time it happened he got beaten by police within an inch of his life and ended up in a psychiatric hospital for ten days, which event became known to me through Facebook.  So, when I made it very clear that the Church&#039;s wrong indications would end up with another dead person, with the implication of another wrongful death lawsuit, the Type B was issued quickly and a many-year disconnection was terminated.

My son is now happy, doing well, living in a home he rents, has a dog, goes fishing and hunting, and has had no incidents since the Church quit enforcing disconnection on him.

There can be a happy ending to disconnection, but only if the person is reunited with loved ones, and gets back into communication with those whom he or she was forced to sever relationships.

I have only related some of the high points, but I can say I was never so miserable as when I was disconnected from my son.  I have so much gratitude for being able to communicate with him now, and so much gratitude for all the help and support I got from Independent Scientologists!

Although I live in Texas, I plan to see the play in Hollywood, no matter what I have to do to attend!  My hat is off to Allen Barton and his creative courage to tell this story  I have often said the only things to which the Church pays attention are legal threats, lawsuits, and bad publicity!  Bad PR!  This is where the attention and the money and the action goes, after the real estate gets purchased!

Thank you Allen Barton!  Hope you will consider writing a full length feature film screenplay called DISCONNECTION!]]></description>

Michael, I grew up in this group so I don&#039;t know how an outsider would view such charity, but if I saw the &quot;church&quot; suddenly handing out gifts to the homeless I would consider it nothing but a cynical, self-serving PR campaign. At this point, at least in my eyes, I cannot see how they will ever redeem credibility.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s wonderful that more and more people are expressing themselves and describing their unique experiences in Scientology.   An artist, of Allen&#039;s caliber, can only bring more understanding  and compassion for those that are suffering.  I have 4 friends who display an ache in their hearts, that is visible and palpable, that need help to recover their loved ones and their lives.  I applaud this effort, will attend and write to about my experience.]]></description>
