I joined scientology Jan 89 to originally help myself and then switched to helping others and contribtuting to an org that was going to help a sick planet.
Stop drug addiction,criminality, improve education, stop mental health abuse, improve interpersonal relations and an overall better understanding of life by others so that we could live in a saner environment. Cool eh?? I thought so...
What I discovered in 1999 was at times too overwhelming to confront and believe.
LRH lied about his background and I mean all of his background, the org with the help of the GO and OSA were criminal and I do mean criminal. Lives had been ruined purposely and the just plain inhumane treatment of others since 1960 on was just too much to believe but it was true.
How could I have been so duped for all those years???????? How could I have been so blind???????? Was it all a lie that I read of Hubbard and was told by the management??? No it was not all a lie that I read just nobody applied it.
Yes the management did lie and fabricate situations to solicit $$$$$$$ out of parishoners to fight the SP's.
I became very angry then became sad then became angry then decided to look at all the outpoints that I had observed over my 20 years in the organization.
I handled my anger and betrayal by realizing that all the indicators were there for years I just did not want to look at the obvious and to think I was trained to look and observe - how ridiculous. I finally realized I had no one to blame but myself.
I still love to help others and always will and I am doing that by alerting others to the lies of the current and past managements and the danger they are in by being connected to this organization.
I hope that all you scn lerkers who still like to help others and always will, help others to see the truth. Yes there is fear involved with telling the truth but let me let you in on secret...the fear is created by the organization that is pretending to help individuals and the more you speak out the more you rehabilitate you. I was terified and I mean terified and the more I spoke out the more I regained my integrity and my sanity. Isn't that what scientology is all about..being you and being honest no matter what????
Hope this helps others to do say more, even though the price may appear high the rewards far outweigh the illusion of harm. I also want to thank the many scientologists who have contacted us from as far away as Holland and France.
