<<Friends,

I have completed my movement to Mountain Org's new place, and changed my system to a better newsreader.

I will follow a.r.s. again and would enjoy to follow up on uncomplete discussions.>>

Welcome back Clear Baby!

I have been touched by the sincerity you have displayed in your desire to help others and I applaud your spirit. I am, however, STILL totally against the vehicle (Scientology) you are using to try to accomplish this. I am saddened that you chose Scientology to devote your energies to. I wish you had chosen a different organization that REALLY believed in helping others.

Every time I picket the S.F. Org I face a dilemma. On one hand I believe that most members there are well meaning, compassionate individuals who themselves desire to help others and are hurt by what I am doing out there. On the other hand I could do nothing and just let so many others have their lives destroyed like mine was. I choose to risk hurting the few (already involved) to save the many.

Reading your posts helps keep me in touch with the fact that there are REAL human beings involved who may feel hurt by my actions and at the same time gets me use to putting this concern aside long enough to do what I feel needs to be done out there.

My life and the lives of so many others would have turned out so differently if your idealistic view of the organization was true. In my case at some point I just finally had to see Scientology for what it REALLY was and to stop wishing it to be the way I WANTED it to be. You still seem to be doing this. Now I, for one, am dealing with the reality and acting accordingly. Because of this I will continue to do whatever I can to expose this organization for what it REALLY is.

I sincerely welcome you back to ARS and look forward to reading your posts once again. Your posts keep reminding me of one of the reasons I got involved -- my desire to help others. Now I don't feel so stupid for staying involved as long as I did.
