30 Seconds to speak to your loved one in the SO

[Lovesnightsky]

Say something to a loved friend or relative in the SO. Include their name, and/or post, and last known location.

Here's mine:

"Helen Goddard, SO in the field at Plymouth Org, UK: You are still my friend and I love you even though you have disconnected from me. You deserve so much better than you are getting for your loyalty and dedication to the Church."

[Giuseppe]

Say something to a loved friend or relative in the SO. Include their name, and/or post, and last known location.

"Yes, mom, Giuseppe love you too, Hi, how is [Giuseppe's child's name:baby1: ], have you seen it at [insert recent event here], yes, :stickpoke: I've seen the event on DVD, thanks for asking, yes, too much clapping again, but David was tone 40 as usual and he deserved it, yes, the data was very important, yes, I understand that Giuseppe must now throw away perfectly good gently-used old books and tapes, and buy completely new ones, yes, I will do a D of P interview to see about handling my upset about spending the money, yes, you can send them to me right away, and yes, I will pay you back or you can use my money on account, and yes, I have gone to the org:innocent: , and yes, I am not doing a course or getting auditing, but Giuseppe reads source materials when Giuseppe is on the toilet, and on and on and on and on." Rinse, repeat after next event. :carryon:

Nathaniel B, I wish I could talk to you and that you did not disconnect from me.

Am I still crazy to care about people I cared about?

Note to Me: It is time to move on.

Hi mom. How are you doing? Is everything really really well in your life? You know your family loves you. And they miss you. The real you. We are sad to see the path you have chosen, but we give you the right to do so.

Have you seen or talked to your grand-daughter recently? How is she doing? She must be almost 14 by now. Beautiful girl. I know. I hope she is getting a good and proper education out there.

Please check in on your family more often. They miss you. They wont be around forever, you know.

With love. Be well.

[Lovesnightsky]

thank you for taking part :)
If anyone else wants to have their say, please do.

Hi Paul:

I was your bodyrouter and Reg. You'd not even been in scn a week when you were recruited into the SO!? :no:

I want to apologize to you, Paul. I hope you left the SO and scn, or if/when you do, that you find this post, Paul.

I was so excited for you, when you decided to join, at that time.

Now, I feel.....bad.

I didn't know better.

Please forgive me. :bigcry:

Oh wow, I think I know about 75% of your family. Craig and Marcy live about 15 minutes from me.

I dated Chris briefly. I was Matty's teacher for a short time at Mojave. Trevor and I were good pals in the SO together. I could go on...

I really hope that you can reconnect with them all soon. So sorry...

[ChaoticPsychotic]

To Jessica (Jecica) Beck currently posted somewhere at FLAG:

Poozle,

I love you. I miss you. I wish that you had listened to me and never joined. I hope that some day you come out and can recover from it all.

Please know that even though it is hard to leave and come out of it with your sanity intact you will get through it.

Think of your wonderful life before the Sea Org and let that carry you through.

If you ever see this - contact me.

That was awesome! Very moving.

Brought me to tears...

Is someone doing this for US also???

I knew of at least 5 SO members who could never leave the SO because they would have no place to go. I had the thought with at least one - evil thought I know - that they should leave and go to their family because they were too sick to continue.

But even if they wanted to they couldn't, they feel that that bridge is broken (not the one to "total freedom", but the one back to their family) or they just don't know how to contact them...

I knew my family would not desert me - we are a messed up bunch (maybe not that messed up) - but we belong to our own group, but most Scn families will - or they are still upset with the SO member and won't forgive.

I think the purges and 'declares' are reaching the kind of critical point where even the 'completely Scientology' families will no longer be. This is apparently even affecting Davey :)

However, the *perception* of the 'bridge' being broken is a harder problem to remedy. In many ways, ESMB (and some other sites) are the best answer in allowing and facilitating 'reconnection'. At this point *nobody* knows who's out; it's likely a far higher number than even our experience proves.

Oh WOW, LNS, WHAT an awesome, poignant and heartfelt video! Brought me to tears and a lot of realizations, myself!

I hope many SO and Staff see that video....I want to put in on a DVD and bring it to my next Protest to give to someone who may want out....

I'm gonna have those numbers on my sign, too!

Hugs!

I have no family or close friend still in, but how about this to add to your collection of quotes. I hope it doesn't sound corny.

To an anonymous Sea Org Member

We know you wanted to make it go right.
We know you wanted to help.
It's OK.
We know.
We were Sea Org.
We have come back...
...for you

[Lovesnightsky]

keep the messages coming. They will be read. They will be seen. They will eventually make their way to them.

The text can be copied and pasted from the information about the video tag. It can then be printed and handed out to staff. The DVD idea also sounds very good, I am sure that at least the "filters" will see it and they are human. As Alan says, the messages will get in, via sessions, sec checks, or more direct routes.

[OHTEEATE]

Communication. Really great. I saw my mesage to my family at 3:11 and it was powerful to see it in a video in that context. I have family that have been staff for over 30 years who were offloaded over medical bills. Discarded like worn out worker bees in a hive. It is close to being realized to crack this nut. Keep up the pressure. Talk to media; they are interested. Mike
