Skyler,
Thanks for your kind words!
I enjoy your posts as well and I think we share a similarly passionate
disgust for the crimes and abuses of Captain McSavage and his international corporate criminal syndicate( as do many others here).
I noticed that you have a pretty deep knowledge of the subject even though you were not in the cult and that gives me hope, because you can explain and break down the subject in an understandable way whenever it comes up with people you interact with…It’s that ripple effect, with each one teaching one, and educating the general public about just how whack this so-called church is…
Thanks for caring about this issue and contributing your views and ideas to the conversation; love and respect right back at ya!
Cheers😁

In my case it doesn’t really matter how much I spent or the time invested, it had to be done.

Now that I have completed the OT Levels and am on the other side of the NOTS case I know more than ever it had to be done.

At any price it was a bargain.

Hey Mark!

I just want to offer you my respect, admiration and my appreciation for all the contributions you make to this blog.

Your writing style and the information you post is markedly different than any other contributor and I find it very instructive and highly entertaining.

I just want you to know that I appreciate the time you spend writing for this blog very much and I heartily enjoy reading your posts.

Thank you.

Can you please tell me the total cost?

If possible, I would appreciate if you could break down that cost into the major categories – such as:

. Auditing
. Course time
. Books
. Total cost of all charitable contributions you made that were not made for any course work or training time.

I would appreciate if you could also include any other categories you can think of that I have omitted.

Finally, can you tell me just how long you spent doing this? I mean from the time you first walked into one of their buildings until the time you decided you were finished.

Yes, indeed, inherent intelligence DOES come back when one leaves.
Astute observation🤗

If those two clowns are representative of the Dwindle™ of scientologizts, most people would say, “NOPE!”

One public who had debts was recruited as Book Store Officer, because they would get book commissions to help with their debt. I was pissed, because it effectively meant that only that staff member would get paid. The organization rarely made money, and so we rarely got paid anything.

Hi Val,

Looks like we’re tracking 🙂

Agreed on all you’ve said, especially, “Aqua, I don’t call it at (hate) I call it purging…”

While you were writing your response, I was, in a somewhat nervous frame of mind, re-reading what I had posted. Feeling somewhat uneasy because I realized I hadn’t communicated clearly what was going on with me.

So, yes, thank you for your honest feedback and help, in response to my venomous snake comment!

I do know how harmful it is to harbor hatred or other negative emotions. Toxic to oneself and to others connected to me.

Yes, its purging. Good word. I spill it out here what flares up in me sometimes, so that I can rid myself of it, so that it DOESN’T consume me.

And, btw, I do feel better now, peaceful now, and you’ve contributed to that 🙂

Thanks again, Val.

My apologies. The post disappeared on this end.. Thank you.
