Thank you, dearie. Doesn’t begin to compare to the thrilling write-up of your adventures at Saint Hill.

I’m so glad something else brought me back to this post or I’d have missed your brilliant comment!

No. They don’t seem to care about the money. For you to be moved to “dead files” there has to be a threat of legal action.

Yep. I was never that crazy about Bart.

and even if they are not sleeping on the floor or smoking cigarettes on fire escape, these kids who were raised in Scientology have a shockingly slim grasp of the world once they become adults. many cannot read or write they have a second or third grade education at best. they have been raised with one belief system and no exposure to other belief systems so they cannot make decisions. The most able kids might be apart of the Commodores Messenger Org so they get more attention paid to them and they will learn some manners and a little bit of schooling but the average sea org kid reaches adulthood with so many missing pieces it makes it very difficult for them to assimilate into society and have a normal life.

Will do, thx.

or about half of the kitties

Very well stated. I’m hoping that the cult will be eventually brought to justice, and if there is any goodness in this world, it will be.

Likewise. I knew about $ci. as a pretty nasty cult for many years, but until a year or so ago, when I started reading more about the subject I had no idea of the depth of depravity and maliciousness that is part and parcel of the cult.

I am familiar with the law, and I know what a slippery slope is, but it seems to me that there should be a way to permanently stop these people from doing anymore damage in the name of their “religion”.

Personally, I feel inoculated against it. Too many friends joining too many strange cults over the year and remembering them before and after their transformation. It was never positive.

I am also an atheist since the time I studies catechism for my first communication (didn’t work that well Father Giuseppe, did it? He told me to sit in an empty room praying to God until he came into my soul. I came out convinced that at least the Christian god could not exist). I find the rituals of my own religion of birth preposterous, I can’t imagine getting fooled by a bunch of smiling robots.

But I also realize how good they are at this and that they had decades to fine tune their approach.

I am now convinced that they are, by far, the most dangerous major cult in existence. Please correct me if I am wrong, but aside from smaller groups one hears rarely about and that when they make the news they sound even worse than Sci, I don’t know of another cult with the kind of resources and maliciousness as this one.
I wish I knew how to help destroying them. They offend my innate sense of justice and fairness.
