Larry, Now that your mask is publicly removed, I still see the same beautiful person whom I have grown to love. Enjoy your freedom.

Larry, glad to hear you are doing well. Look forward to more of your magnificent work. The debt all of us owe you can never be re-paid. What I most appreciate about you is your courage, your honesty, your vast knowledge, your willingness to help others, and your kindness.
I would say that you've accumulated about ten lifetimes of good karma.
Much love,

Larry,
I got chills reading your post. The knots some people are forced to twist into in order to fit into the one size fits all scientology box is unending. Your story was very moving and makes me look at a situation like yours in a deeper sense than I had.
To make one's matters worse, it is deemed "one's case" and so, you are never allowed to talk about it. Even hubbard says that's the most abberative thing about the second dynamic! To have to repress yourself and live and breath in the mental confines of scientology must have been very difficult and painful, indeed.
So, I got chills reading your story, as I said, and I thought maybe that was just BTs and I should just get rid of them and then I wouldn't have my very abberative feelings of appreciation of your situation and wouldn't have an overwhelming desire to congratulate you on coming out and finally being free about who you are. Yes, I thought about it....and then I said to myself...fuck that and FUCK OSA!!
I hope you're celebrating the pressure coming off and knowing how much love and support you have here! You have mine!
Arthur Dent.

If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid.'

THE BIG LIST of EX'S who have Spoken Out
Hey Larry (not one to hold back may I politely ask if you have another name you’d prefer to be known as?),
You don’t me. I am a kiwi woman who has admired you from afar. I have this list of people I really really really want to meet. You are high on that list.
You have inspired me as I have made my way out of the cult. The information you provided helped me enormously. I hold loving gratitude for you.
I am so sorry you had to suffer to become the woman you are. I can’t express how I admire your courage, your dignity, your capacity to love.
Welcome to the sisterhood! What an honour to have you amongst the Goddesses!
Warm love to you
Glenda
Oh, nearly forgot...
I am a very strong member of the “Fuck you OSA!!!” club.
OMG everyone you all are so kind and I so much appreciate that.
I must rush out to work but I just had to say "thank you" again.
And Markus you have lost so much but I want you to know that you and your family are in my heart and I so very much appreciate all you have done to help expose the evil that took your brother. Your heartfelt posts for months and months have touched the hearts of so many.
I am "Denise" btw.
"Larry Brennan" will soon be no more on the internet and I will quit posting as LarryBren on WWP, Lovinglife625 on here and as SME on Xenu.net as I go on to be myself.
But I will try to update my blog first and try to leave everything I have written so it stays available to everyone who wants it.
Thank you all so much again. You are in my heart
XOXOXO Denise

If he has no friends and everyone's against him
If he's failed in everything that he has tried
Try to lift his load, help to bear his burden
Let him know that you are walking by his side
And if he feels that all is lost and he is fallen
Try to place that poor man's feet on solid ground
Just remember he's some mother's precious darlin'
Always lift him up and never knock him down

My dear Denise,
I am in awe of you.
You KNEW that OSA knew about this. You KNEW their ugly history of using people's private confessions against them. You KNEW that they were ruthless to destroy critics, especially those who knew where a lot of the bodies were buried.
Yet, still you spoke up publicly and resolutely over many years to expose the frauds and abuses of the Church of Scientology.
You are one gutsy, beautiful woman.
I love you.
