The Moment...

[RLSteve]

Jenna, reading your story about Kirsten is like reading about Professor Umbridge in Harry Potter 5! How I love to hate tyrannical authority figures!

Kirsten has been lieing and fucking with people for a long time.
She outright lied about me at one point. Can't give specifics yet.

I once pm'd chaotic about you all writing a book. I admit it was for a selfish reason, I felt that if you did then people other than those of us who search this info out on the internet would discover the truth.

I'm fairly certain that if you ladies actually did write one it would have more impact than earlier books have. And what better way to prevent other victims from joining as well as causing a decrease in scientology's finances?

I doubt that I could ever understand your fears in writing and publishing such a book, I'm not an ex, but I hope you do so very soon.

I remember while I was growing up, I was always talking to people about how amazing Scientology was. Like, "It's so amazing! It can make you a thousand times better and you'll never get sick..."

As I grew older I became much more innertwined (like we all did) and talked about Scientology and how incredible this stuff was, all the time. Then one day I was eating my only meal that day with a friend at two in the morning and I was talking about how amazing it was like I always did and she calmly asked, "What has it done for you?" It took me two seconds to think and then I looked her straight in the eyes and said, "Nothing." And suddenly I wasn't a Scientologist.

I wish leaving, and then leaving it all behind was as easy as my answer was direct!

My MOMENT was broken into 2 parts. First I blew the Sales project, Later I realized I had no reason to stay.

In July 2007, the Basics Evolution had begun. This was the huge push to sell a $3500 package of LRH books and lectures to every single Scn.

The devotion to making $$$ in this Basics Evolution was so heartless and off purpose (Ref: HCO PL STAT PUSH), and went against my idea of helping people. This was international, and I couldn't isolate who had been responsible for this STAT PUSH. It seemed to come from CMO, but I didn't really know whether this was command intention, or if it was a twisted version of what Int mgmt wanted to happen.

I managed to avoid this Sales frenzy for a while, but in 2008, they set up a computerized call centre and expected every SO member to call public over and over, and hard sell these Basics, regardless of the problems that the public were facing, and ignoring other LRH solutions that could actually help them.

So I blew the call centre first. I wrote a letter expaining that it was off-purpose and seriously upsetting people. The letter just went into my comm-ev as evidence.

Then, I realized that there was an extreme degree of control exerted on all SO members, and I would have to become an unthinking robot in order to remain a member. I refused, and the time eventually came where they let me go.
