If you sell books on eBay, I think they most likely go to members who are trying to avoid paying bookstore prices - meaning you&#039;re depriving Scientology of revenue, and at least getting some fraction of your money back.  A few may go to outside critics studying Scientology as a high control group or cult.  

I think that nowadays, the chance of a complete outsider getting involved because they happened to see a book and somehow decide to pay good money for it, are almost non-existent.  And if such a thing were to happen, I think it would most likely be because someone bought a real bargain bin book for on a lark because it seemed worth a shot, and there&#039;s no stopping lots of Scientology books getting into bargain bins.

Actually, it occurs to me, it might not be a bad thing to sell materials - and include with them an account of your own bad experiences with Scientology and reasons for leaving, along with links to critical sites.  That would probably ensure that any outside purchaser would get thoroughly inoculated against getting involved, and might have some chance of getting a member thinking or questioning.]]></description>

They&#039;re probably in the astral plane and difficult to detect. Maybe Ron decided clearing humans one at a time is too slow and he&#039;s working on a new program?]]></description>

And then Ron sent the magical flying monkies out of his butt to keep watch while he dutifully reprogrammed the people of Earth. The End
See? I can write stories too. LMAO]]></description>

yesssssssssss.

and for my certs I made a fire.  I burnt each and every one.  Those were not for the rubbish bin, those I particularly made a fire for.....

I busted them out of the cheap-ass frames, threw the frames in the bin, and then burnt the certs.

I had auditor certs, admin certs, staff certs, social &quot;betterment&quot; certs, my clear cert, OT certs...right on up.  I burnt them all.  I saved the highest for last and watched it burn.  (I also filmed it and sent it to the one person I could)

....
for me... leaving scn was a light switch move - I was 100 percent in, and then I was just out.  I burnt those certs within 5 days of coming to my senses.  I was rid of everything inside of a week of it all. Almost 4 decades in, flushed in a heartbeat.

(recovering has taken longer, it&#039;s a process)  

I&#039;ve saved my clear/OT bracelets... I have some plans with those....just in case I need them as a cover.  

:) 

Fuck &#039;em all.]]></description>

I did pretty much the same with everything I had, my collection included all the ACC lectures so it was a huge pile of stuff to get rid of. As much as I deeply regretted spending a fortune on this useless crap it did feel immensly satisfying junking it all, to see all those shiny new cases and disks shatter as they hit the ground was cathartic in itself.]]></description>
