I was shocked when I heard about the abuse he received at Delphi, but not surprised. My own abuse was different. I was a teenage boy with ADHD and my inability to pass a white-glove check resulted in hundreds of hours of punishments including manual labor, not being allowed to join my friends on school trips or on-campus activities, multiple “ethics hearings” (the delphi version of a comm ev), dozens of lower-condition assignments. I probably spent as much time in Ethics with Terri (may her soul rot in hell) as i did in the courseroom. That shit erodes your sense of self-worth.

There were many things i liked about the Delphi experience. For me as an ADHD sufferer, checksheet-style learning comes very naturally. I could focus hard on the subjects I liked and try to power through the more boring ones. But Delphi (much like Scientology) tries to fit everybody in the same round hole, and if you’re a square peg like me, they throw Scientology Ethics / Justice at you hard until you either break and conform or drop out. Guess which one I did? I finished Form 6 and got my GED.

Geoff thank you. Yes shot.
I have often wondered if he was more borderline insane or a skilled unscrupulous charlatan or naturally evil. Then I concluded that he was all three.

LMR,
you were so right. I was a believer till I almost died. Hubbards lower conditions. “The great control mechanisms in the sky”. He should have been shot for those alone.

I’m so sorry for this Greg. I hope when the church goes down the drain that he comes to his senses and comes back to you.

In 2008 Jake came to the East Coast to spend the summer with me but left without notice after a couple of weeks. As a 17-year-old he disconnected from me and my entire family. Consequently, we have not spoken or so much as texted in the last 13+ years. Unbeknownst to me, he even lived in DC for a couple of years. Despite being no more than 45 minutes away from his father for 2 years, he couldn’t bring himself to make contact. The pain of rejection from one’s child is not something that eases with time.
