					<description><![CDATA[I honestly think this is the most horrific policy that COS has. Destroying families. The people who leave Scientology who lost the ones they love because this policy loose them because of death if their loved once don’t see the truth. It shatters my heart. Each of the examples you listed got more and more heart wrenching to read. Nor religion or  organization who be able to do this. It’s absolutely vile. Knowing that the some people who left have a family outside of COS is nice to know but when they have loved ones who still reside it’s haunting.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mike Rinder, I love you and Leah for what you are doing, so please understand I&#039;m on your side ALWAYS!!!!  Especially in the light of what you have uncovered with the child abuse rampant in Scientology (I&#039;ve wretched several times watching your A&#038;E special when you expose the physical/sexual/psychological abuse of not only adults but especially CHILDREN!!!  You&#039;ll NEVER defeat the bully and thug known as Scientology by playing by their rules.  The only thing these people understand is hate and violence, and only when industrial-strength terror is turned on them, they&#039;ll continue their thuggish cowardice ways.  They are cowards who will back down when confronted.  You need to honestly consider destroying their infrastructure with every possible means available (financial, sociological, lawful, spiritual means).   Instill fear and they will cower. Until you do these things, Scientology will continue tramping on us.  You can&#039;t play fair with bullies....all they know is terror so bring it to their doorstep and into their homes (lawfully, of course, I&#039;d never endorse such tactics as assassination, poisoning their water/food supply, abduction &#038; torture.)  Drag them down and grind them into dirt for what they&#039;ve done for so contemptuously underestimating the truth and the rest of us.  God Bless you and please don&#039;t ever take a chance that puts your life at risk!!!  Leah and your safety are always on my mind when I watch your episodes.  I would be lost if something happened to you guys.  I pray for your safety and providence.  I&#039;m not a religious person, but I am spiritual and I know for a fact you&#039;re on the right side of history and humanity by fighting this cancer called Scientology by that charlatan and fraud LRH.  What OT level do you think he&#039;s at now?  I say he&#039;s plumbing the depths of hell right now.  Well, I don&#039;t believe in hell either, but I wish I did because it would be comforting knowing he&#039;s rotting and burning in it!  But alas, we must make our stand here in this existence, the only existence we can be sure exists...if there is something after death...great, but until then, make your stand in THIS EXISTENCE.  I will help you any way I can.  Just ask and I&#039;ll be there for you all.  I&#039;ll come to do research for you...whatever you need!  I live in FL, so getting to Clearwater only takes me about 4 hours (I&#039;m in Jacksonville, FL.)  Please be careful because I&#039;ll be devastated if anything happens to you, your family, Leah, or her family.  I admire you for your courage and want to be a part of helping bring this giant monster to justice.  Love always, Gregory Allen Kinsky/Jacksonville, FL/USA]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just posted this on FB: 
I don&#039;t share as often as I used to, but I am still an activist against the abuses of this so-called church. Why? Because it is stressful to me and my health. It saddens and sickens me. It reminds me of my own situations. I really try to keep my stress levels low. I know what it can do to my health issues.

Reading Leah&#039;s words today brought me back to the sadness of my own lost loved ones who I failed to see before they passed.

You see... I, too, am a victim of my own disconnections. I have lost many old friends, a chiropractor who helped me tremendously (and I&#039;m fairly sure found out inadvertently that I left through a Google+ post), and my own father and brother. My family were never in scientology. Just me.

I was not forced to disconnect, but I moved to LA and I have only been home to see my family once in over 36 years. I was not told by my brother&#039;s immediate family that my brother had died. My father&#039;s wife did not contact me when my father was in the hospital before he died. I rarely called my second brother and he had no current phone number for me when my dad died. Dad had my number... his wife did. I found out when I called and the home phone was disconnected. She had gone into a nursing home. I then found my brother&#039;s number. My father&#039;s estate attorney told me she said we were estranged and she knew that was not true. I don&#039;t blame them... I really wasn&#039;t involved with my family. I lost my mother to cancer when I was 21.

The truth is that because I had been a scientologist, I believed that family was not important. I did call my dad and we spoke once in a while, every few months just to check in. We said I love you to each other, but that was it. I could have gone home even though it was hard to make a living in LA, let alone take time off for a trip back home. I cannot make up for lost time now. I plan on reconnecting with my existing family when my health and money allow. I hope that will be sooner than later. I want to know my nieces and nephews better. I realize that my belief was wrong. Family is important. It reminds us of who we are and where we came from. It&#039;s good to love your family and friends. I missed out on that. It doesn&#039;t feel good and I want to make up for lost time because of what I was led to believe... due to an f&#039;d up belief system devised by the f&#039;d up mind of lrh.]]></description>

Mary, the bad guy wins what? He didn&#039;t break your spirit, or own you soul. Very shallow victory. And what&#039;s he left with, what&#039;s he really left with? A legacy of being a smarmy little snake oil salesman, nothing but a footnote in a line of despicable sub-humans. An also mention. Not anywhere near how he pictures his role of importance. I suppose maybe even a serial killer once everything is uncovered. Some prize.

You are one strong woman. You beat him at his own game. That has to just eat away at him.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Copy of my post to Tony Ortega&#039;s Facebook post.  Good luck to you and Leah!!!

I don&#039;t know if you can sue for attempted libel. In Canadian law one must also prove damages. There might not be any such requirement in the States.  Fortunately for Scientology (and the Daily Mirror). they did not pick-up the story.  You might want to leave this one alone.  Pick your spots.  Good Luck!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Scientology knows no bottom to their lows. They are beyond repulsive and because of their practices should not even exist much less be given tax exempt status. 

Mike, on a side note it&#039;d be really helpful to put a header up on your site with &quot;Scientology&#039;s Policies&quot; with the quotes on the various topics and their sources such as Disconnection, handling enemies, etc. It&#039;d be a valuable resource and a great place to direct people who want to know what scientology is REALLY about.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/the-inhumanity-of-scientology/#comment-301510&quot;&gt;Teen&lt;/a&gt;.

Hello Teen,

Judging from your posts, I get the feeling there is an excellent chance you will develop into a terrific adult who may well become a great member of this world and that you may very well make some lasting and positive contributions to this world that will result in you having a happy life.

The reason I say you &quot;may&quot; make positive contributions is because we all seem to have the power of free choice and at any time you may well choose to do good or not and I sincerely hope you will choose to do good. You give me the appearance of a well-balanced person who would be an excellent friend and I sincerely wish you will have a happy life and that you will choose a wonderful mate and grow up to have a happy family and that none of you will ever have any connection to this criminal scam  - except maybe to participate in its destruction. That would be a wonderful line on anybody&#039;s resume.

All my best wishes to you.
