			<description><![CDATA[Linda, You have been true to yourself with your declaration. You and Tom are extremely valuable to the Independent Scientology group. Your son will soon join you and appreciate you for your integrity and helping to salvage LRH's legacy. Thank you, Linda for all you are doing. I love you dearly! XOXOX]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Marta, Yes, comical in a funny kinda way. It's also a learning experience and well, interesting. It's like, you look and find who is disseminating stuff about you. My real friends inquired "is this true? -- talk to me" and your "friends" that are on there because you had a comm line, just quietly delete you to save their sorry souls. That may sound a bit calloused, and I suppose it is, but they too will benefit from what we do. Linda]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Linda, I am sorry that you were not able to break your family's conditioning during your visit. The power of a cult lies in the degree of control it exerts on its members. It took me years to come to the realization that the COS had mor[censored]ed into a cult while I was in it. You on the other hand, having the persistence the break away from your conditioning will experience continuing growth as an OT now that you are actually severing your emotional ties to those who would drag you back in. With your training, you will soon develop your own version of an Independent Scientology dissem formula where you can compassionately find their ruin and than bring them to understanding that Scientology is alive and well outside the church. Consider this, if you will, anyone who is active in the church right now is IGNORING the human rights abuses, face rippings, the Ponzi scheme of the Idle Orgs which are destroying scientology or... they are COMPLICIT in hiding this information from others. The truth you bring them is too painful for them to bear. You will have to find a gradient that will permit an entry into their currently closed minds. Something like. "Don't you remember when Scientology used to be fun?" Good luck! David St Lawrence Old Auditor possiblyhelpfuladvice.com]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Linda, Again, thank you for having the integrity to spot the changes in the church and to speak up about it. You obviously are a very credible person to have so many people write you regarding your decision to leave the church rather than simply cutting the comm line. I hope that your actions have left a seed of doubt that in time will germinate to an honest inspection for each of those who wrote to you. Then, there are those who will see that you have left, who know your true character and will start inspecting right away. You described so well how I felt when I first ran across Marty's blog. I think it was a common feeling for most people looking at the truth. That feeling of PTSness all blows after coming out and it is very refreshing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks, Steve, for your support and encouraging comments. Everything you said is - so, so true. I think you are right, "Get your declares while you can!" If my husband, who is the most honorable, highest integrity person I know can get declared, the church is really "losing it". I think a lot of people are in mild shock right now over this. Enough to wake them up? Probably not. But at least they can add it to their mental list of things that shouldn't be. And someday, hopefully soon, they will wake the hell up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Linda - thanks for this article. You stated it beautifully. The angst, the ride, et al. I got to the point of just wanting the whole stinking mess off my lines! What a relief. The "disconnect" stuff is pretty comical, tho' isn't it? And I've found it get's funnier - more ridiculous - as time goes on. More and more just WTF? WTF? WTF?.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In addition to what the others have said here, Linda, I want to acknowledge you for your great courage and even spirit of play in the face of adversity. ButterflyChaser -- don't tell that sniping idiot Tommy Davis this, but many times I've looked back at the consequences of getting declared when I routed out from Int in March 2004. And it was the best thing that could have happened to me; not for the reasons intended by C of M, but for the actual effect -- which was to largely sever connections to the most suppressive influences in my life entirely missed in past PTS handlings; getting declared enabled me to recover my OWN viewpoint on life, to regain my OWN sense of right and wrong. LRH says the out-ethics person is trying to put ethics in on themselves continually and that is why they blow. And the other side of that coin is banishing others. Perhaps on one level that's why David Miscavige declares so many people: it's the only way he can prevent himself from harming us. Weird but true. Anyway ButterflyChaser, I bet you find your health improves. And your luck. :-P Congratulations to your husband on achieving the one status that lies above even "Maximus Patronus Donatorious Excellanious Miscavuus Buttlickamus" (the current highest IAS status). Getting declared from the Church of Miscavige is, no joke, a badge of honor. Like having a death order on you from Adolf Hitler. And you surivived and Hitler didn't. People: Get your declares while you can! They won't last long. Steve]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Linda, Thank you for the write-up. After being out for some time I tend to forget what it's like at the 'raw' stages. I did realize something from reading this, you often hear the term "cognitive Dissonance" to describe how someone can stay in with all the observable outpoints. Well, when you are so heavily "in" like your son and daughter in law, there isn't even any dissonance, you are 100% completely (for lack of a better term) brainwashed. I have a friend in Clearwater who was dealing with a similiar situation and he spent some time trying to handle the relative to no avail because he thought this relative was willing to listen etc.. I knew and he found that despite thinking he really knew this person there actually was "NO ONE HOME". We need some big bombs to drop to wake these thetans up so we can have actual comm cycles with them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yeah, it's quite a ride. But Tom (Virgil) and I are both dealing with this, and quite frankly, it's a study in PTSness. Tom (being the consummate evaluator), nailed in in his article "The Suppressive Middle Class." ( on Scn-Cult) At this point, facebook is pretty dev-t. But one thing that IS pretty cool, is that some unexpected/not known, people said they read my declaration and have no problem with it and will always be my friend. Not a high percentage, but they are out there being quiet, and when you step forward, they hook up for real (they are looking for terminals -- and voila!)...So that's a good thing:-) Linda]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes Linda, we will fix it. In fact, we're knee-deep onto that cycle today. Ethics first, then tech and admin. THIS is what we signed on for, sanity, reason and a good forward look.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey, Linda - Yes, the Facebook Police are in full force! Buzz, buzz, buzz! My husband was just declared a few days ago for refusing to disconnect from another Scientologist on Facebook who was declared. Where is it going to stop? Where does it end? Your situation, however, is a bit rougher than ours. Thankfully, our family also "woke up" around the same time and our most special friends are out, too. What we were actually surprised at was how immensely liberating it feels to be declared! This is something we didn't expect! I read about people who felt this way after their declare, but I couldn't "grok" it. Now I get it. Suddenly, it feels like our whole world has opened up and a huge cloud has lifted. It's like the same [censored]enomenon you get after getting a correctly done 10 Aug. Immense relief and freedom! Linda, you are one beautiful and courageous woman. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story with us. Big hug from me. XO]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tom you are spot on! Many need to apply the tech they so dearly protect. I have seen this where many know there is a problem but continue to turn a blind eye because of some justification or another. I know families torn apart by this and their excuse just does not hold any water whatsoever.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Linda, I enjoy your writing. This article communicates the initial horror of realizing what Scientology has become. This reminds me of the Nazi kids who turned their parents in for disloyalty during WW2. I do believe that ethics and personal integrity is the only way out. I have lost several "good friends". I mean people that were like family to me. One guy said he would "ask" the MAA if it was ok to be in comm with me if I resigned. Pretty weak. I myself did resign. I felt it was the appropriate ethics gradient and a good way of disconnecting from that suppression. I wish you well in your journey. ARC, Alex]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you Linda for the update. Even though the Church is being tried virtually in the Court of Public Opinion and Major Media even questioning the Tax exemption "charity" status, there is no case change. No humility. No knocking off the enforced break up of families which gets them horrible internet coverage. This might be one of the hottest buttons (ENFORCED DISCONNECTION OF FAMILY MEMBERS) causing world wide resentment and they CONTINUE to do it. Looking forward to some of your "WAR Stories" on this blog. ML]]></description>
