I remember reading years ago in the tech that “The door was always open in scientology…even if only a crack” They sure are NOT applying that tech anymore. Everyone that leaves is an enemy now. Man, sounds a lot paranoid to me doesn’t it? So does scientology breed paranoia?

I was always very spiritual. I always tried to improve myself. That’s how I found Dianetics in a book store. looking for self help books. I didn’t realize I was also ‘intuitive’ when I saw the scientology stamp on the inside of the book I felt scared and felt a sense of foreboding. I of course ignored my feelings and continued to learn about it. (big mistake). I’ve learned now to trust my intuitive feelings. After leaving scientology, I still wanted to find the Truth, and also, realizing that religious organizations are there as a means to control and manipulate people, I raised my sons to seek the Truth from inside themselves, don’t follow anyone, trust and have faith in yourself, that you can reach that highest state of beingness. I feel sad when I see these kids following scientology and other religions blindly hoping someone else will free them like LRH, instead of REALLY taking responsibility and freeing themselves.

another trick is when Scn calls, put that phone into your contact list labeled “Scn” and then any time they call from that number again, “Scn” will show in the ID thing and you just don’t pick it up or erase it or block it.

True, Mike, that no auditor is competent enough to audit DM. But also he is an SP and per the tech on that, an SP will simply never show up for session. They don’t want their crimes found out.

Figures, and of course this is just accepted by the rank and file. Thanks for the quick response Mike.

He does not believe there is any auditor competent enough to audit him.

Excellent observations, many of those who have left have devoted large amounts of their life, or vast sums of money to scientology, these acts are all forgotten the minute any of us dare to criticize it. Imagine if they did what you say and welcomed back any who had left, or spoke well of us, we would have nothing to criticize. Who could have a problem with a relaxed approach to dealing with people? If you get something out of it then great, if not you are free to leave and we wish you all the best. I did get something out of scientology, I credit it with greatly enhancing my understanding of English, this was not why I got into scientology but it was beneficial. I left for many reasons, partly because I was brought very close to bankruptcy, partly because the gains they promised never materialized.
