” Barring the door and refusing to move so that someone can leave is, if I’m not mistaken, kidnapping!”

Actually – that covers two “unlawful” things at the same time….. one IS kidnapping, while the other is also……

false imprisonment.

Hi I am looking for someone i can talk to about how scientology aided to the separation of my parents and my father stayed a member from 1967 to 2019 when he past away and i have met quit a few elderly people that are still involved and they live on pitance.

TC, maybe in the future you will compile all your articles for the still unwashed thetans to use to decompress. I really appreciate you continuing to write articles.
I hope to meet you some day soon.

CNC, glad what I wrote helped. I’m still decompressing after 5 years. Sorry for the delay in answering just saw your response in my junk file.

No need to use it. Even in Buddhism, we can see what we are dealing with. There is a great difference between meditation and participation in society. How could I do a deal to support the family if I allowed myself to be taken advantage of? There is also a big difference in the code for monks and lay people. To be blunt, I spent ten years acting as Public Relations in a Buddhist Vihara. Out of every 1000 people who came to visit, the stats were as follows:
950 curious and satisfied on one visit.
25 Interested enough to take a second step
25 Destructive people

After considerable thought, I have decided you are probably right in that I do need to do some more reading and studying.

However, I believe that everyone who posts in this blog likely shares the same goal – which is to see the end of this cult. Consequently, I would have hoped you might have chosen a wiser response – e.g. to have suggested some specific reading or other materials for me to study instead of just telling people who may not be as knowledgeable as yourself to “go away and not post”. I understand my posts may have antagonized you. Still, I’m disappointed your response was to tell me to “go away”. I don’t think that response is at all constructive. Nonetheless, I think I will take a break from this blog – or at least reduce the number of my posts.

I see you enjoy calling LRH disparaging names. I enjoy doing that too. But in order to help put an end to this cult, it’s going to take something more than just name calling and more than just reading and study. After a time, I would guess DM likely just laughs at people if all they can do is call him silly names.

No Ketniss I am not. Mike could have left the hole IF he really wanted to. Sorry, but a fact. You MUST engage logic circuits to understand. IF DM could REALLY keep people do you think he’d let his own family members leave to then go to the media?

ALL a person has to say is, “I am going to the FBI if you don’t let me go.” Bu, bye!

THINK!

Are you shitting me? Mike was imprisoned. The reason he wasn’t put back in the Hole is that he left too publicly. And only after Davey miscalculated the degree to which his will had been broken and sent him out on a “handling”.

This is a huge subject for discussion, so for brevity I sum it up – wins and fun matter not, ‘‘twas a pack of lies and a stolen life.

I think it’s important to realize that any bit of perceived wins, benefit, fun, etc is dangerous. It’s this shit that lured us in and trapped us.

The leg hold trap begins with the first agreement of some “common sense useful bit of tech written in pretty prose”.

How much he “stole from others”, how much is nonsense, how much is viciously mentally damaging – these to me belong in the second chapter. Chapter one is the ocean of lies and the mechanisms of mind control.
