What is total freedom? Death?

I’m glad you spoke out. Not long ago I was looking at “treason” and realized I had been in treason to myself, knowing what i knew was true in my heart so many times, yet disregarding it and listening to others. Of course it’s different when you become free form the suppression and can know that you know!
I also agree with your post, thanks.

Thank you. I’ve never spoken of this incident aside from telling my husband the day it happened. It’s bothered me for a long time. Very shocking at the moment and then left me feeling degraded and introverted.
The CoS’s system of not being able to communicate is really unhealthy and sick. I believe it is part of the reason why so many sea org members, staff and public scientologists get cancer and die young. Also, all the broken up families. There are so many of them! It’s definitely an outpoint that people just don’t want to see.
By the way, I misspelled Correspondent. My English teacher Mom would be disappointed.

That’s a great story, thanks. You Knew!

I am of the third purge sweep and grateful of it!
Yes, Flag (and trickled down to the orgs) systematically purges people out, in the CoS’s nasty tradition of using and wasting people. First, reg public for the max they can get, then get those (lucky) public out of the orgs for any reason. We’ve all seen it, over and over.
Flag (and the orgs) even gets rid of people just by their “regular” actions.

I was spied on while staying at the Osceola for services. I caught the security guard red-handed in the bathroom of my suite, handling my toiletries in the medicine cabinet, checking to see what each one was. When he closed the cabinet door and saw me in the mirror, he freaked out, became angry and stomped out of the suite. I followed him saying “Excuse me…, Can I speak with you please? Excuse me…” He only had one word to say; “Don’t!” I watched him stride down the hallway to the stairwell, slack-jawed.
I couldn’t understand why my privacy would be violated. I had no history of substance abuse, psych or criminal, why was I not to be trusted to this extent? I told my husband about what happened and he insisted that it was a “white glove check” . I told him no way; I knew what I saw and the reaction of the guard. He persuaded me not to make an issue of it or “cause trouble”. I let it go.
I could never reconcile that incident and later came to the conclusion that the org does not trust its public. My next question was, Why? I had the sense that “bad things” had happened at the Flag base and could sense bad energy all over. It gave me the creeps.
This is an example of not-so-obvious purging, in my opinion. Driving decent people away

Or you could tell me privately by hushmail?

Hey, not-so-Odd Thomas. Yes, I saw that mission network at work too.
That’s why it’s so illogical to me that DM shut them all down! What a GREAT feeder system!
IMHO, why are the orgs limping with an asthmatic wheeze? They have no life being brought to them by these groups anymore. They are being made to wear not only the Org’s but the mission’s and the field group’s hats because all of those entities are gone.

Regarding the SO, Hitler children, I’ve said it before and I won’t stop saying it.
See counter 21:30 for what Orwell predicted in his book, 1984. These are the children that are being raised to forward, “Command Intention.”
