Many of us have been Scios for years, we are used to playing the game by the cults rules. Most of us see the flaws in their 'ethics codes' and policy, but still some of the exes play the role in the game that the cult wants them to play.
They play 'silent dissenter' or 'quietly ARCx public' or many other unhappy parts.
In the components of a game reference from Hubbard in the PDC lectures those roles are best described as 'broken pieces'.
Perhaps there could be a better role to play. It would change the world of scientology over night if all the exes simply spoke their mind.
For example; The org calls you up for the 1000th time to go to an event, you tell them that you hate events as they remind you of how the cult was taken over in the '80s by DM.
You sit down and actually tell the dearest scios friends how you feel and why, being as careful as possible not to exceed their reality.
You openly question the 10,000,000 members to the org staff.
Or to ask why we need multi million dollar buildings when the ideal org PL did not mention "new buildings", perhaps students and pcs would be the place to begin.
OK, you get the idea. So, if you know all this yourself and there is no way you can continue in the cult....what do you have to lose? Some friends might disconnect from you, losing friends is painful, but aren't they already lost to you? And what kind of friend knows what we know yet says nothing? The ones that do see the truth will thank you.
You might get declared too......I think that is the highest honor a flawed and dying cult like scientology can bestow upon a person.
Some of you are vulnerable as you have kids in the SO, a zealot spouse or business dealings with scios etc. I understand that and have no easy answer to those complexities.
In all the world, except scientology, it is not a crime or high crime to say so when you get bad results, to point out the flaws and out right lies in PR or to ask why the results are just not there, in fact it is a normal civic duty.
I am mostly talking here to you lurkers who are parked and wish you every happiness and success.
After 15 years as a flag public on solo nots, I know for me, my sanity and state of mind I need to break the chains that were draped over me in those endless eligs and ethics cycles every 6 mths. This is my way. It may not be yours.
Whatcha think?

I wanted to support her, since she and her boyfriend were such new Scns. If only I had seen this board a year earlier, that would have been the perfect opportunity to tell her I don't support the church and will never buy their stuff!! But I didn't know. I was already on ext. courses when the new books came out, so I continued doing them on the new books, but I answer the lessons honestly that I don't agree with the books. (Now I have stopped sending lessons in altogether.) I have already been giving the orgs my viewpoint. I submitted a thread here entitled "I answered a survey honestly!" I have already been talking to my friends about this stuff, because how can you NOT? Once you learn the truth, you can't go back. Just a couple of months ago I was still terrified of Flag and orgs and the phone calls and letters. There was one girl that called me from Flag every single month at least for 2 years, I never returned the call. I finally wrote her a letter. She wrote back that she liked my glitter pens. I had an extra glitter pen and sent it to her. Never heard from her again. Not a thank you, nothing. Maybe the pen got stolen from her letter? Anyway, I replied briefly and honestly that I wouldn't be staying at the Sandcastle any more, here's a pen. Hope you like it. My MAA called for the first time in 2 years. I wrote her a letter about how happy I am. I told her I found God. 
Haven't heard from her again. I still never answer my phone, but because of this board I can actually listen to the messages and hit "delete" with impunity. This is an entirely new state for me! I was honest even when I was still in the church. I have no idea how I didn't get into more "trouble" than I did, because I was pretty outspoken with my disagreements. I guess they had bigger fish to fry. One of my girlfriends reminded me that it was just a few weeks ago that I freaked when she said she might check out the FZ because I would have to disconnect from her! Like I would ever do that now! But I was still thinking that I would be forced to if she went to the FZ. Anyway, I think it is a natural occurrence once you change the way you live and think to start talking the new talk. You can't help it. Henning's emails to me used to give me anxiety attacks. He just sent me this "product-officer" type email today. I just wrote back that the recent video I sent him says it all. That is not the way I usually replied to him!!! (The video was one WO posted on another thread that was very uplifting.) Gosh I don't usually talk this much! Anyway, my point is that things can't be forced. I think the natural outcome of this board is going to be a growing tidal wave that wipes out CoS without even trying, just doing what it is that we do here, waking up slowly or quickly, wandering out of our fogs...
