I understand. Thanks. You might find Heidi Macavoy&#039;s  3 part series on Waking Up From Scientology helpful in dealing with these kind of responses, which are so counter to the human existence. Disconnection and indignation at the care and sympathy of another who has left the fold is a cultural disease within the church membership. Many have found this helpful in trying to deal with or communicate with current members.

This kind of crap is absolutely priceless. 

Every time something from Ron fails or creates unintended negative consequences an &quot;Urgent&quot; or &quot;Vital&quot; cancellation bulletin is issued blaming the fiasco on somebody else, complete with them being &quot;declared&quot; or otherwise &quot;handled&quot; and the thing (whatever it is) reissued &quot;as Ron intended.&quot;

This concept is still in use by Miscavige and was trotted out as among the several reasons for everybody having to re-buy The Basics for $3k each, even though many people already had at least one copy, if not several, of the books from earlier editions.

It is fascinating indeed that after Miscavige &quot;edited&quot; The Basics in the mid-2000&#039;s they were advertised as how &quot;Ron always intended them to be,&quot; versus of course, the way they were actually issued when he wrote them.

Scientology is the virus of idiocy that never stops trying to infect others. It is the Ebola of Stupid.]]></description>

Natural Philosopher, Scientology is &quot;made of people&quot; and people can and do tell their stories. I had always hoped Lyman Spurlock would blow and add in another layer of details to what Denise Brennan had contributed. Even without Lyman adding details, one can infer what he contributed as a CPA. 

Cult tax lawyers Gerry Feffer, Monique Yingling, Larry Heller, and the Lenske brothers were the non-Scientology Shadowmen who ultimately acted in concert with Church officials to create what has become a series of contracts of adhesion designed to strip individual Scientologists of their legal rights and give the Church, as a corporation. all of the power. The Church was designed to fend off lawsuits, and, this was done by using contracts of adhesion, unconscionable contracts, OSA, Fair Game, blackmail, threats, culling pc folders, etc. It is all malicious and self-serving. 

Taken all together, the Church of Scientology&#039;s legal structure and contracts form a malicious and evil legal system putatively designed to &quot;Protect the Tech.&quot; The actual intent is &quot;to protect the cash flow and to protect the highest ranking SO member.&quot; 

*****
Back in the day, Scientologists like Lyman and Denise Brennan believed they were protecting the Tech and LRH. Denise later left the Church and saw its malice and lies. 

Lyman stayed in and became a wretched prisoner of the system he helped create. Lyman died a slave in captivity. 

On the other hand, Denise left was able to beautifully transition into the woman she knew she had always been since birth. Denise died a free person. 

Karma paid Lyman his just due and rewarded Denise for her courage. 

Everyone dies. The question for people still in is this: Do you want to die a slave or a free person? 

Your choice.]]></description>
