Greetings All, Good News is afoot --

The Big List of Former Church of Scientology members who have spoken out has been resurrected on the WWP wiki and ongoing efforts to expand it has finally resumed! :happydance:

Former Church of Scientology members who have spoken out

The current tally is now up to 1389 total names as of today.

We had hoped to hit our goal of 1500 names by the end of last year (2010) when the wiki suffered a bad hardware failure in November, so that major milestone didnt pan out like we thought. But the race is now on to make up for lost time and we're looking for feedback and assistance to make the list bigger & better than ever!

If you have spoken out publicly against the CofS under your real name, please take a moment to follow the link above and see if your name is listed and indexed properly. And if not - please let us know (as explained below) what needs done to ensure your name is properly accounted for.

There is also a new Add/Update Your Name section at the bottom of the wiki page with instructions on everything you need to know to get yourself added to the list (or updated on the list if need be).

We're also deeming this here thread the official ESMB Project Announcement home-away-from-home, so feel free to post additions or changes to the Big List below if you wish. Or please feel free to PM me changes if you don't want to tie your ESMB alias to your real name publicly.

Additionally, there are few new web tools now available for expanding the reach of the published list noted at the top of the wiki page that include links to the usual PDF mirrors (that will be updated soonly with the latest version of the Big List). We also have a new Big List Newsfeed that broadcasts the latest project announcements. As well as a new Big List Online Submission Form for gathering input on additions from outside the world of fora, and a project homepage in the blogosphere where comments for changes to existing entries on the big list can be posted without a forum registration.

Also note - I didnt bother digging up the old thread for this project because the last time we bumped it, it caused a great deal of confusion due to an ancient version of the list being included in the OP while the project was in its early infancy. So to avoid having to explain over & over & over again that the first couple pages of the old thread are no longer relevant - i thought it was high time we started on a fresh slate.

I'm glad to hear the list is back.

I have an idea regarding the Big List;

Local Anons/Exes make up fliers based on the names of everyone who has spoken out in their local area (from the list) and hand the fliers out to any scios they encounter whenever and wherever possible.

Thats a great idea Panda, after i export the current Big List into a fresh a PDF for mirroring the hardcopy version - I'll play with the flyer thought abit while I have a fresh plate of copypasta to sling around. and see if can come up with some sort of generic tri-fold leaflet protestfags can use/customize however they see fit.

Thank you Aida!

... not that it matters but when people who are in doubt and read this list, makes them wonder...no?

oh contrare - methinks it matters VERY much, that initial first impression spin thru is surely all the more powerful & eye opening with more details showing that its folks from ALL walks of life & ALL stages of the bridge who are jumping ship. And imo, both the highly ranked entries AND the great diversity in entries, equally underscores the unspoken question of "why are they all leaving?!?!" that in turn makes all the listed links all the more enticing to click on.

and we would very much like to get alot more of the names that have a link but scant on details fleshed out, as well gathering new names we dont have.

So any & all feedback on existing peeps that are already listed with little details is also welcome on this thread or via PM from any folks up here that are fairly certain their knowledgeable on rank & file info for other individuals who are still lacking basic background context.

bumpsies = big list now up to 1425 names!! (with 1 pending that hasnt landed on wiki page ATM)

http://wiki.whyweprotest.net/Former_Church_of_Scientology_members_who_have_spoken_out

There's been a lot effort put into refining existing entries with better info, links, etc. so not only is it growing - its also getting better and better with age!!

Only 75 to go to hit our delayed goal of 1500. Is your name missing from the list? We got an app (or two) for that...

Big List New Submisssions: http://www.jotform.com/form/2920410395

Need to make yourself a link for speaking out publicly under your real name to complete your submission? Then please consider doing a thru the door interview first, completing the optional info with your actual name and quals: http://alley.ethercat.com/door/newinterview.php

If your name is already on the list but lacking proper/correct details - do please let us know ITT, via pm or via blog comments accepted here

It would be really nice if you put them by countries...I think :)

Diana

perhaps, but ugggg that would be alot of tedius sorting out :yes:

and with peeps cross-pollinating across national boundaries, it would making finding a name on a former acquaintance alot harder (do you list where their from originally, where they served in CofS at, or where they are currently at - which isnt something we readily know from the data mining we do in bulk)
