Hello everyone Thanks for allowing me to butt in with my "Message to OSA" the other day--I had not posted to ARS before that, and have only lurked occasionally over the past several months. My attempt to remain anonymous failed only because OSA spent 6 weeks analyzing an anonymously posted essay on LMT, and publicly announced their results of that analysis--my identity--to this list. Scn further retaliated by alienating my daughter--they called her in to the Flag ethics office and the ethics officer informed her that I had written a critical essay, and showed her an ethics issue containing misrepresented and libelous information about me. The source of the information could only have been my pc file or the dossier that OSA keeps on their members. My last contact with my daughter occurred in a telephone conversation on 1/29/2001, which was when she advised me of her knowledge of the essay and of the ethics issue on me. She was being "handled" in ethics at that time. To answer a question posed by an ARS poster, I had two phone conversations with the Justice Chief on 4/8/2001. I called the Justice Chief and advised her that I have been waiting very patiently for my copy of the ethics issue that my daughter was presented with, but that I have not received it. The Justice Chief told me that she was not familiar with my name, but would check up on the matter and call me back. As I was aware that OSA had been trying to determine my identity, I specifically asked her to check with OSA. The Justice Chief did call me back a few minutes later, stating that she had checked "with various terminals" and she denied the existence of any ethics issue. The Justice Chief then suggested that I write a "confessional" and provide it for her so that she could write an ethics order. I told her that I simply wanted a copy of the ethics order that my daughter was shown originally. That went nowhere as the Justice Chief continued to deny the existence of the issue. I told her that I would be contacting my daughter, which I attempted to do on 4/8/2001, by phone and e-mail. My daughter has not responded. I have now contacted CW authorities and have documented the facts for public record. Scientology has violated my right to privacy and my right to exercise freedom of speech. They have libeled me to my daughter and have grossly violated my parental rights. Scientology has caused severe emotional trauma to me and my family by reason of their violation of these rights. I began looking into critical views of Scientology over the internet quite a few months ago, and thanks to the many very well documented critic sites, I was able to finally confront enough truth about Hubbard and Scientology to know I could no longer be part of that group. Like all members who have been in for any length of time, I was devastated with the realization I had built my entire life and relationships around this group. I was every bit as shocked and horrified that I had, by extension as an auditor (class 9) also perpetrated Hubbard's crimes on so many of my dear friends. I had to come to some sense of technical understanding as to how this could have happened. I knew that my way out of this mess had to do with finding some other way of looking at what I had been doing as an auditor, some other way of interpreting the doctrine and practice of Scientology. I could not dump everything wholesale from my head and training. And so that's how my research began. I have been helped tremendously by the many critical sites, and the online and offline books, for which I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have posted an article called Excalibur and the Scientology Cross at alt.binaries.scientology, and hope that it will be of some benefit. There is more to come. antivirus
