Wolf, I knew Lara at the CLO EUS. She was the leader of all of us on the EPF. I
was only there for several days before routing out of the CLO and planning to
go to the FLB to do my EPF and be posted in the SO later in the year. I next
saw her at a Scientology conference, last month. We had both routed out of the
CLO and were publics , though both of us had definite plans to go back to the
SO, as we were both EPFers when we left.
I didn't know Lara was out until I talked to Stacy over the phone about getting
out. She told me about her exit counselling in New Orleans and I remembered my
EPF I/C from the CLO, the woman with whom I shared my fears about how my
parents would react to my SO contract, because she was dealing with the same
thing. We were both at the CLO, and I know why she was afraid of OSA
helicopters, Wolf. If I was exit counselled on my way out, I would be
too--because Scientology will go almost that far to stop exit counseling. I
simply decided to leave after only a short while in Scn, after seeing the
truth. The truth about Scientology, as you know, is *scary*. The truth aboiut
OSA is *scary*.
I don't have anywhere near your history or certs, but I've been gone for two
days, have been called repeatedly by the Ethics Officer and the DSA, told to
speak to no other Scientologists, and threatened with a declare. People like
Stacy and Monica don't "stick their noses in the wrong place[s]", they save
people from a life of destruction. It is people like Stacy and Monica who have
supported me on my way out. I don't think I would have had the courage
otherwise.
If we know of injustice, if we know of tragedy, we have to stop it. We can't
allow people to go blindly into groups like Scientology, and be part of that
world. That's what this ng is all about--spreading the truth to save the future
public who don't know the decayed reality of the CoS. That's what people like
Stacy and Monica do--help to spread the truth through their presence and
actions, spreading the truth vocally, wherever needed. Stacy helped Lara
through exit counseling, and she helped me by talking to me on the phone. It
set both of us free from Scientology.
And I, for one, am extremely grateful that they and the others are out there
speaking out, despite the OSA attacks and harassment. They're out there and
they're freeing beings.
