Yep it hit the fan for me, and now for a friend of mine too. He is going through an SP Declare, disconnection of his family, and a very un-amicable divorce all at the same time. I am helping him by being a terminal for him and doing things to help. I am encouraging him to come join the Indie world where he will be welcomed and validated. LA is being purged by DM and his OSA monkeys. Thanks for the invite Hallie Jane… it means the world to me! But I”m going to see family that I was insufferably “better than” for years. I am going to mend the fences, build ARC, and apologize for being such a condescending prick to them for years when I bought the “we are better than them” think under corporate Scn. Wish me luck!

Right on Paolo. I wish you well in creating your life and flourishing and prospering.

Awwww shucks, Aqua, I’m blushing. Thank you! Hugs to you too!

Thank you for your compassion, Galactic Patrol. I understand the need to Safepoint yourself and get your ducks in a row before coming out. Please do so with my blessing. (not that you need it). And when I mentioned references, I meant for your family to read to try to enlighten them and bring them out with you.

Each and every one of us has been hurt in some form by the church and DM. We all have our own unique story to tell. This blog and discussion forum has been so valuable to me and to so many others. We get here the acknowledgement and understanding and empathy for the church’s overts on us. BUT we are not just wallowing in it like total victims. No, we are speaking out, with or without a pen name. Everyone on here, UTR or Out, are all to be commended for confronting the evil and acting upon it and disconnecting from the suppressive church and DM. I want to thank Mike immensely for putting this forum here for us and for his amazing articles and invitations to view the truth so as to as-is it when we see it as it is. Thank you Mike.

A simple truth. I encourage everyone to do what they feel is right. For many of us, that is coming out. However scary it is, if you feel you should, do it! Like any decision that is big or hard, you can handle it and it will work out. You will stand taller in truth and strike a blow to disconnection.

Perfect observation, Gato Rojo (Red Cat)! And per LRH’s Professional Auditor’s Bulletin 13, page 2 —

“It will often be discovered by the auditor that the preclear has ‘swapped terminals’ with these aberrative persons. The weight of aberration is such that the preclear has been swung into the valence of such people, for they have obviously won.”

Well, Mr. Miscavige, though it is true that many staff, public and SO members have obviously swapped terminals with you — swung into your valence — your “wining streak” is over.
