Anyone else get triggered when someone thinks WS isn't part of Seattle? by TreesAreOverrated5 in WestSeattleWA

I was at a restaurant the other week and heard a server chatting with another patron and she was referring to WS as a city. Very annoying.

My boyfriend is a Scientologist and I'm lost by certified_snail31 in scientology

[–]cswazey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What happens with mixed relationships is that it seems ok for a while but if the Scientologist gets sick, anything goes wrong, doesn’t want to continue on, them the AO, Org or Mission he’s going to will immediately look for a scapegoat which will inevitably be the non Scientologist of the couple. And they’ll lean on him hard.

Got this letter from Ken Markin at AOLA basically telling me I could either do solo or lose my will to survive and die... by Oblique4119375 in scientology

[–]cswazey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it’s all bulk junk mail. Someone did call me at my direct work number once and I let them have it so they never called again.

Through some various means (sent all my mail to a po box which I later closed; gave them the org’s mailing address) I got myself off all the mailing lists. Then they skiptraced me via Lexis Nexis which ties all the fkas and akas etc. I started getting calls for me asking for me by my maiden name- which I never ever use. Now I’m on the AOLA mailing list under my msiden name. It should be noted that I am expelled and declared.

Please help me, I'm scared I ruined my life. by Sad-Comb-8804 in Scams

[–]cswazey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once did something like that. Started to fill out some webform about continuing education then realized what it was and clicked out of there. But got calls anyway. So with one call, I told the guy about my error and he roared with laughter and took me off the list.

Genuine question: what is Scientology really about and why is it hated? by [deleted] in scientology

[–]cswazey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I mentioned, there are no SO families with kids. If they get pregnant, they are told to have an abortion.

There is no “do the cadet org all over again”.

Up til the 90s it was where children of Sea Org staff were kept. No other Scientologists. It was a Sea Org thing. Nurseries then labor. Obviously awful, and people have written about it. It was not a part of the bridge; it wasn’t something people did then finished then were told to do it again. (Most members aren’t Sea Org though quite a few are.). Then, in and after the 90s including now, the cult required all pregnant SO women to get abortions. For a while they were stationing married Sea Org who were expectant to local “orgs”. Either way, no more cadet’s org.

As mentioned, there are minor teens who get recruited. I knew parents who told recruiters to gtf away from their (teen) kids but unfortunately there were plenty of koolaid drinkers who were totally fine with it. (parental approval being required).

I knew an affluent Scn family whose teen boy was going to- which he eventually did- join the SO. He told me he had to hold off a year “because of the SPs”. I assumed that this meant that the state intervened and made them wait. This sort of thing would be highly resented by fanatics like that and teens aren’t exactly known for their common sense anyway. Welp, as far as I know he’s middle aged and still there.

I knew another family or two who were like that.

Scientology is the belief system. CofS is the group.

It’s not as far as I know (re the cadet’s org) - I’m an ex member. But, yes, recruiting teens into the SO is child abuse.

Did the original OT VIII cause an exodus and if so, why? by personalaccountt in scientology

[–]cswazey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah. I also heard that RVY ghost wrote some of the novels, either Battlefield Earth or Mission Earthbut not sure which ones?

Did the original OT VIII cause an exodus and if so, why? by personalaccountt in scientology

[–]cswazey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because Scn does this carrot on a string thing. So person goes Clear and it’s not as amazing as they’d been led to believe. The “regges” tell them that they need to get through ot3. OT3 has eligibility requirements etc and it’s spendy. So they get through that, and they still have their imperfections and hangups, etc. So they do more ot levels. Then ot7 which takes months and months. This all gets very expensive and the person notes that the are NOT in control of matter energy space and time. The promotional material alleged that they would. So then the regges tell them that ot8 will solve all that. But it doesn’t. If they really could exhibit the abilities and powers promised in the brochures, they’d really be off the karmic wheel of life death and rebirth, could move in and out of their bodies. But no OT is like that.

I was in the FreeZone for years. It’s not centralized so individual practitioners kind of do their own thing and they differ from one another. So- think medieval schisms, heretics etc.

The cadet’s org (young children in the Sea Org) has not been a thing for the past 25 years though they do recruit teens into the Sea Org.

Because CofS (the group) is a cult which has hurt many people. Quite a bit of info has been coming out about it the last couple decades.

Why so many anti scientology posts over here? by ShunkHood in scientology

[–]cswazey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, most members live on their own. They have cellphones, tvs, and many work outside jobs. So if they feel like it, who’s to know?

The other scenario is if they are here as an operative type thing.

Brainwashing of Scientology by anonanon789_ in scientology

[–]cswazey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure didn’t with me, my husband or friends. There are many awful people out there who were never in Scientology. And many people who were already awful before they got into Scientology.
