tesseract, the USA was built on the philosophy of human rights. NOT gov’t power. It is a violation of human rights to prohibit people from doing with their free time what they will. Including making more money. Way to go Austria for trampling on human rights. AGAIN 😉

“His wife disagrees.”

laden with backstory. 🙂

……..

Yep, I was in for almost 40 years, UTR for a couple.

hubbard stole the world from me. He took my angsty adolescent mind – co-opted it – hijacked my young mind and heart with bullshit he knew to be false.. and stole not just decades of my time, but the entire world.

He stole my existence.

He told me this was a hell, a prison planet that doesn’t even really exist. It’s just a parody and dramatization of a thousand times of this trite false reality.

This was a MEST universe and MEST was false and bad and a trap. Nothing mattered but KSW and the goal, everything else was false and a distraction.

…
hubbard stole sunrises and tulips from me.

I have no time for apologists. I’m still in the ice-water-shock-devastation-“what-NOW?” phase.

I doubt I could err on over-estimating how deep the mind conditioning is, or how long the road ahead is.

The goodness of people and the world is shocking.

I’m glad you’re here to help, Brian.

I have tulips. 🙂

Thank you

Rip – That’s insightful and humorous. I forgot about Hubbard trashing the Entire Mest Universe! You can’t go much bigger than that.

I think its only an issue with organizations that abuse the public trust.

Many schools in Chicago employ off duty police officers. I’d rather have someone with real world security experience instead of the goons (non police) ‘security’ staff (Sea Org) used by Scientology

Thank you Rip for sharing that. Just the fact you are aware of this stuff and consciously dealing with it is a big deal. A friend of mine who was in for decades and now out has not looked as deep as you have. In fact he doesn’t think he has any left over unconscious traits.

Richard, I would change the word “completely”. That word, in my opinion, applies to when we where in.

So you never:

1) mistrusted psychiatry?
2) never mistrusted the IRS?
3) mistrusted the AMA?
4) never mistrusted other practices?
5) never disconnected from an SP that later you realized was wrong?
6) never did OT3, R6 and saw all of civilization as a dramatization of implants?
7) never saw the Catholic Church and priests as dramatization of R6?
8) never considered Hubbard the wisest man in history and others where low rent philosophers?
9) never got auditing for health instead of going to a doctor?

Maybe you were not affected by these. But in my view, you were not a true believing Scientologist.

My hats off to you for staying independent. As an x Scientologist I would have seen you as in violation of KSW, open minded and reasonable.

I would have been the idiot in that case. Well done for not being a Scientologist when you were one.

All the people I knew were cordoned off from society and judged it as a dwindling spiral.

My hats off to you.

Wow! Thanks, Richard.

This gives talking snakes and water-walkers a run for their money.

Someone should write a book about religious magic throughout the ages up to the present and call it, “The Book of Woo”

Just guessing, but possibly long term Fox Noise anchor and commentator Greta Van Susteren pulled some strings. She and her lawyer husband are not only long standing Scientologists but major cult whales. This cult affiliation is kept on the downlow so as not to jeopardize her job at Fox and not compromise old Greta or more likely embarrass her and make her a laughing stock by having her cult connection be generally known.
