Being objective about Scientology is very difficult, we lived it.

You are doing a great job!

Love to you,

This is my blog post, thanks to the people I quoted!

A very great and good blog post. So much better than I wrote and write about Scientology. I still have problems to write and talk about personal things, my feelings and my family in the public and not only there.

You have reached my heart...

What I find difficult is to stand back and relate specific events. It's all so complex and describing how a certain piece of 'tech' has huge life ripples is hard. It's like tracing back a tsunami without instruments. I'll keep working on it.

Here's I am seeing this...

The disconnection issue is an issue which can be seen. The NZ Inquiry back in 1968/69 was about disconnection. So here we see, in full view, the cruelty and bad publicity that such a practice brings. It gets an airing, gets discussed and so forth. Disconnection is a tangible subject which is still very much discussed, these days on the internet.

But there are much greater and far-reaching consequences which the scientology system bestows.

As you say Purple Rain "It's the whole package - the warped world view."

It is also, imho, the unvoiced, unseen, deep wounds that such a system inflicts on young developing minds. The splintering of family units. The way the system messes around with trust. Consider the whole ethics reporting system where one is impelled - obligated - to write an ethics report on another member (ALL members, family included) if one even gets a hint of "out-ethics" conduct. Who the hell ever learns how to conduct normal human interactions with that mentality and behaviour constantly going on.

How can people trust each other with all that going on? A core aspect I think families need, in large doses, is to be able to trust each other. A safe healthy family unit is where there is consistency. It is a safe place to be yourself and explore the world in greater and greater circles as you move towards adulthood.

Scientology totally interferes with that.

Spot on, Sallydande


My husband helped our org. with a huge back log of ethic chits,KRs and the likes that the EO/HES didn't have the time to put in the relevant ethics folders.
When he came home he told me - with disbelief in his voice - about the huge amount of KRs that family members wrote about each other. It reminded him of the Communist party in Russia and the Nazi party in Germany.

I never liked the KR writing system,even when I was still in. To my thinking it destroys any real trust and friendship between people.

I had always to hide my Scientologists identity. I learned it very early. At the weekends and when I spend the holidays with my father I was Scientologist, when I had gone back to my mother I wasn't, because my mother didn't like that. Instead of helping me, my mother beat me, when I got "Scientologist". I got recognition from Scientology and my father, from my mother never. There I was always a free babysitter for my brothers and a cleaner, when she was working or on party with her new husband.

In my Scientology life, I felt I was important, an adult. But this was a lie. There I was also an not expensive working "slave". But I hadn't seen this there. The life with my father seemed to be full with glamour. On the other side I was very frigthened and alone there. I didn't like parts of the Tech, but I liked to hear the "well done", the applause. I never heard this in my regular life. My father had to help, but he didn't. He believed Scientology would help me.

But I was always alone. Everything what I have gone through, I had to arrange with myself. There was nobody. I have learned not to talk about things that happens to me, because there is no help. So I have problems to talk or write about the things, I have gone through. I look with a professional side on it, without emotions, because the emotions would "destroy" me. I would be very weak. ...and I don't want to be weak... Maybe this is "Scientology thinking", I don't know. I only know I can't talk about it.



I have to work on this too. FTS.

I want to add, that "Scientology" has told me to hide that I was a Scientologist, because they get followed in Germany. My mother was the best example for this. Today I know, she was helpless, who wants to talk with a person, that believes to be something better, who wants to talk with a Homo Novis.
