Hi Mike I won't go for a blow-for-blow answer since I see you are busy enough with others :) Besides I was especially angry the night of my last post; I had rather foolishly been reading a few 'personal stories' on various websites and it brought back to me just how much I, my family and so many childhood friends had lost believing that treacherous old fraud.
Unfortunately, being as he's very dead and all, and I can't kick the bastard's head in as he so thoroughly deserves, my anger is directed to those who are continuing to perpetuate the cruel scam.
But since you still don't see it for what it is, you probably don't deserve the ire.
>you're an atheist, right?
I guess so :) I've come a full 180 degrees from the Hub's 'Individuation
from the main body of theta' (whatever that was supposed to explain or
mean) to a man-from-mud sort of guy. That's the best model so far, so
I'll run with it if you don't mind.
>you've never been a scientologist have you?
As answered elsewhere, I was one of the originals - from the mid 50's.
But there is a limit to how much treachery, lies and down-right criminality can be stomached before you accept you're been had.
I lost a lot of my life believing in a pathological liar who didn't care who or how many he hurt, as did my family and friends, and I'm still really,really pissed off about it.
Regards anyway, RE

It wasn't so much the money for me since I never wasted any on the Oatee
crap fortunately, although others in my family went bankrupt doing so.
It was more the 30+ years of trying to live our lives based on the gibberings of a very sick and twisted psychopath, with all the attendant conflicts and pressures and 'handlings' and declares and disconnections, isolating ourselves more and more from the simple pleasures of just being human.
And it was all just for total shite.
