I am thankful that I no longer have to sit and chant Hubbardite sayings to a wall.

I am thankful that I no longer have to suffer through events where my leaders lie to me.

I am thankful that reges don't call, and that they can't team up on me to drive me into bankruptcy for my Total Freedom.

I am thankful that my mind is my own, and that my thoughts come from my own experience, rather than the manipulative ravings of one who would try to keep me loyal only to him.

I am thankful that my job pays me money in exchange for the work that I do, rather than threaten my eternity in exchange for the work that I do.

I am thankful that I have re-discovered human love and friendship as the most valuable thing in life, and that I don't try to staticize it.

I am thankful that I no longer have to censor myself, and that I can think and feel and be exactly who I want.

I am thankful that I am an ex-Scientologist.
