Through the Door 10th Year Anniversary

[ethercat]

I am pleased to say that Through the Door will celebrate its 10th Year Anniversary on March 28, 2012. I appreciate everyone who has done the interview there. You deserve a big THANK YOU! You have truly made the site what it is.

To the people who haven't done the interview: Consider this a stats push, ladies and gentlemen, and I am your reg.

There are currently 292 interviews there - I need to see 300 by the anniversary date. That's only 8 interviews needed to reach the target goal. I need anyone who hasn't done the interview to go now, and pull out all the stops to do it. Smash through all the barriers, and Keep Through the Door working!

Haha, just kidding, but I really would like to reach 300 by the anniversary, so if you haven't done one, and I know there are people here who haven't, please do one. Thanks, everyone!

Ethercat,

I only just learned this morning about your site from Tiger Lily (on another thread).

Your interviewing tool is great and provides useful information contributed by ex-Scientologists and ex-Co$ers to anyone (researchers, lurkers, seekers and onion-peelers) wanting to understand why people have left the Church of Scientology.

Thank you so much for creating this. It's really extraordinary.

Your site was the first one I ever posted on, I hadn't found ESMB. I was so very scared and excited at the same time and posting there was truly a huge step. Thankyou so much for all the work you have done!

Has no one been interviewed since 292?

Thank you all. And thanks for all the "likes" and "thank yous". It's so rewarding to know how much people appreciate the site.

TG1, I'm not around often enough to know everyone, but thanks for the very complimentary words. I'll keep an eye out for your posts while I'm reading here.

Claire: 'nuff said, I hope. It's been so cool watching you grow and develop out of "Entity Claire" as you were called when you first appeared on ARS so many years ago. Life is better out here, isn't it.

Free to shine, I've heard that from a couple of other people too, and I won't mention names, but know that you're in good company. I'm glad you trusted the site enough to post there.

La La Lou Lou: Yes, there have been 2 more interviews since #292.

I used to let them go through automatically, but the spammers started hitting it badly a few years ago and I set it up so I get the interview in email, add it manually (copy and paste) to the file they're stored in, then upload it to the server. I don't always have time to do this immediately, but be sure, they will get on there.

Thank you Mustapha Commev and Phoenix! Only 6 more needed now.

6 more!! Please!

I've said this before, but this thread is a good place to say it again.

It was THIS site that started my road out. I was still a true believer but wanted to buy a book I couldn't get at the Org (Small Common Words from KTL) so I did a Google search and and this site came up. I didn't initially realize it was "entheta" -- I saw "Through the Door" and thought of the door on the Orientation video opening up to eternity (I guess it was really "ethernity" that I was about to discover). I thought it was going to be someone's success story

By the time I realized I was on an entheta site I was too curious. . . the first interview that came up was from ESMB's Alanzo, using his real name -- someone I had known personally while "in", who had been a dedicated Scientologist and great mentor to me. I was shocked, and the shell started to crack. It took me a while to come back and read the rest, but by the time I finished those interviews, I was well on my way to that clear mind I'd been looking for.

So glad you are doing this Ethercat -- I can't imagine how many people you've helped.
