The emphasis on finding and describing "knowledge structures" that are somewhere "inside" the individual encourages us to overlook the fact that human cognition is always situated in a complex sociocultural world and cannot be unaffected by it. - Edwin Hutchins

Because I could not live with the criminal way the church and individual scientologists deal with life."

If you canīt argue with them, have a laugh with them.
If you canīt laugh with them, laugh at them.
If you canīt laugh at them, sit in a corner and cry.
Yes, I submitted a response but really I only gave a very small part of my disagreements... I then questioned as to why I would respond to such a survey... this religion is lost to me...

Geir,
I read your poll when there was only 2 responses. It asked for Scientologists only. I am no longer one, but I'll answer it here.
1. I left. I blew staff.
2. I examined what was going on in my little Class V org and compared it to my volumes of HCO PL's and HCOB's and realized there was little response to the KR's on out-policy, out-ethics, and out-tech. What actions taken were superficial and merely served to strengthen the force of the ED (declared years later) and the Sea Org missions. I'd read all the Tech Vol's and most of the OEC vols (all of 0,4, and 5. most of 6 and large parts of 1,2,3, and 7). So I read Bent Corydon's book and Russel Miller's book and after long reflection concluded that the insanity in the org was a direct result of the lies that is the true life of Hubbard and the irresponsibility and arrogance of certain SO members of the Continental Liason Office.
Wish I could extend a better birthdayto you than this.
