You wrote this message two years ago. I hope you have found your own way out of the cult now, and, if not, that you are at least feeling able to question the things you see as wrong or troubling or worrying. You have every right to question, and don&#039;t let anyone tell you otherwise. I wish you nothing but the best :)


PS. I met Simi three weeks ago. She is happy, healthy, fit, and so funny. We had such a fun time together.]]></description>

Hahaha, so would you agree that in order to make something out of it, we can at least have some Disqus (hahaha, discourse) and not play it enemies? Hahaha. I have thought of it long ago and I accepted it. Admiration is the strongest particle there is, but not a fake one. I do admire you for being able to Disqus, hahaha, with me.]]></description>

well... there are so many facets in life, so many people, so many viewpoints, so many wrongs done and so many betrayals and on the other hand we are unable to see them and acknowledge them as such. This man obviously didn&#039;t want that shit and he is now free. I can understand. It is A viewpoint. I wish him well. You can&#039;t shove things down people&#039;s throats and call it a religion. That ain&#039;t right. This is why I left the cult and live on my own now. Growing &quot;older&quot; as the body grows, makes me look to myself especially and try to see if I get to be a better man. And oh yes, I have made so many mistakes and wrongs and sins but still I try to correct them and see if I can become indeed wiser. 

Making new friends is a good thing as long as you don&#039;t forget yourself and your principles. And that we all are spiritual beings is the first principle I respect and follow. The rest can come along. A philosophy is supposed to help people advance. Scientology Inc. as we call it now, is a very bad example but it is NOT Scientology, the philosophy of it. I practice as much as I can on my own and find sooth in this as I see people responding to the one first principle: yes, I am a spiritual being. I would like to know more about that. 

And kindness and thoughtfulness are two key things in order to advance and make it through. Ignore people to your peril... We are all in this game called Life and others seek to just enjoy as much as they can and other find enjoyment in understanding and helping and others find enjoying in abusing and taking advantage of things and amassing power to themselves but... in the end... we are all going to quit one way or another this game and the outcome, all you get with you, is what did you make out of it and what others thought of you. That&#039;s all.]]></description>

Sounds very good, Theo.. And I will take you up on that offer.. I want to share with you a comment from ex-scientologist who posts here under the name Conditioner.. This comment touched me very much and I would like to hear what you think about it..

&quot;...So hard to face the fraud you&#039;ve become, and sharing this Lie silently, amongst all the other group members. As you&#039;re spewing this BS to Non scientologists, you know they can see right through you. They&#039;re going &#039;uh huh -yeah, right&#039; but are too polite to really challenge the bullshit.
I hated this so much, having to lie to family members, looking at me like a cancer victim. So glad I&#039;m no longer part of this shit.&quot;]]></description>

ok sugarplumfairy... I am happy that we can talk and speak our minds without going into antagonism. That&#039;s a win for me and it is also a win that I hear you, you are healthy and you lead a happy life as you are. Whenever you wish to talk more feel free. It&#039;s ok to communicate on anything and since this forum happens to deal with a philosophy that i love (I am not with the church as you know) I kinda jump in from time to time to have some fun. So bear with me sometimes! I am just starting my day!]]></description>
