What hit You the hardest?

Hit me the hardest, but in a totally amazingly good sense?

Chanology/Anonymous and all U guise.

Epic win is epic.

What hit Me the hardest?

For me in the beginning as a 'Socialist/Leftist'..
It was the corporate greed of the Co$

Then came the 'Horror stories'
Forced abortions,
Mothers not allowed to make any noise during child birth,
Denial of Professional Medical attention
Lisa McPherson
Suppression of Free Speech
Fair Game

I figured that this was a Religion that was full of batshit insane leaders.
And that was given that I at first considered C0$ as a "Kooky" religion based off a science fiction novel..
and that I very nearly joined it (if it wasn't for there being no 'ORG' in my area)

Then came the now famous 'Declaration of War' posted on You Tube.
and I thought to myself.
Finally the internet gains a conscious.
But I couldn't do anything because I'm in a regional area 1400km (over 900mi) from the nearest ORG.

Then after reading more.
Xenu.net
goanonymous.org
youfoundthecard.com
Ect Ect

I quickly discovered that I can contribute in my own way..
I Can make a difference..
I CAN and WILL stand up and be counted as One of Many who will no longer tolerate the continued existence of such a Dangerous Entity as the Cult Of Scientology!!!

Being a part of a group that I *thought* was truly there to help mankind,
but watching TONS and TONS of "OTs" die, live horrifically bad lives claiming
they are great (huge delusion),,,and realizing "OH MY GAWD! They are Only my "Friends" as long as I jump through their hoops, their way. That was the final Ah HA Moment for me. Prior to that were these huge points:

Working with W.I.S.E companies, and getting ROYALLY Screwed over by
TRT and Survival Strategies/Body Balance for Performance---and W.I.S.E.
not helping AT ALL-----and realizing Bill Bowen paid off DM! (To get out of paying the $150,000 he owed to my then husband and partner).

Seeing the Top Secret OSA Int Gang for who they *really* were /Are;
A mafia like gang who TRY to stop free speech on the Net.

Biggest: Friends of mine---their kids killing themselves, one of them my best friend's
son, who shot himself to death-----that was IT for me. I'll never forget standing over him...seeing his beautiful, young, fresh face----laying there at UCLA after 7 hours of surgery, and his parents screaming with pain as the Doctor came out to say,"He'll be a total vegetable". There are no words...........there are no
words..................the pain this cult causes people is literally beyond words when you get to the inner corps. Yes, *some* people have fun,
and love it, and feel it helps them(from their latest video/PR)---------but what about ALL the people,
families, children, deaths? That I cannot forgive or forget.

And I cannot tell you HOW much you ALL Mean to me!
BLESS YOU ALL! HELL YES! YOU ROCK AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT!
YOU are THE BIGGEST and the BEST and the BADDEST!

Magoo~~

We're never gonna give you up, Tory. Never gonna let you down, run around, or desert you.

Tory, I love you!! You are my inspiriation, and I'd love to see the evry ex-scientologist and soon to be ex-scilon dance and hug trees like you did in WBM's video. I've never seen someone so happy to be "free". It brought tears to my eyes.

I cannot help but ask you something a little personal, and if you feel as if you can't answer it, I completely understand.

But those parents, your friends, who lost their children are they still in?

it was probably the "I joined the Sea Org aged 13" thread on here. then the exscikids website and finally the "Voiceless" messages on youtube.

Stoopkid:

We're never gonna give you up, Tory. Never gonna let you down, run around, or desert you.

Wooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo! Thank you VERY much!

Globie: Thank you, also! I couldn't agree with you more re helping get them ALL out! Re my friends---most are still "In".
One family---their son, Phil Gayle jumped out of the 15 story window of M.I.T. University ON L. Ron Hubbard's B-day. His Mom WAS a top spokesperson for CCHR---his Dad was one of the many who died too young.

My best friend's son---one is in, one is out. Tragic story---truly.
The rest, they're all "in". Disconnection IS one of THE worst things
ever---and IS a danger to your health, life, and happiness.

My best ....

Magoo~~

Hope.

The idea that I could speak out, even if anonymously. The idea that I could release my pain, let it go, regain those dark years, and even DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I didn't just have to swallow it, anymore. I can take a stand!

Hope.

Anonymous has given me hope, and excitement!

TY for your answer Tory!

Have you ever thought about bringing the details (minus names, of course) to light?


The lack of psychiactic help really annoys the crap outta me when it's obv people need it.

The most hardest part, for me, was lurking xenu.net/ exscn.net/ ARS (wdne) etc. and not having/ knowing how to get rid of this abusive cult once and for all. Reading all these terrible stories about what happened to those (who got) out of $ci, and the shitloads of crap going inside. That was untill a certain video was brought up on the net. I watched a shitstorm raging over the Internets, people going w000t, thousands of them. It was with pleasure I noticed the OG (+ex's) slowly adopting Anonymous, I actually cried over it - several times. Tears of joy and frustration, as I reckon all have shed at a specific time.

Is it safe to say I want to have babies from all of you?

Something I forgot to mention was Mark's "Scientology's Fourth of July" video. I had heard about the church harassing and badgering its critics, but I thought that was bullshit (I guess my way of thinking was that "why would a church do this?"). The behaviors of the Scientologists on that video really opened up my eyes.

Let's not forget that Bob Minton was the guy who purchased the camera for Mark, if I'm not mistaken. Bob is a hero, and the way he handled the Scientologists when he would protest really made me chuckle.

If Bob somehow reads this, I just want to thank you for everything that you have done to expose Scientology. Your hard work is now coming into fruition. Thank you, Bob.

Enturbulator- thanks for remembering Bob. I would add to that honor roll, Keith Henson. And I DO hope that Keith is watching- safely.

For me, it was discovering that I couldn't be married to a Scientologist without becoming one. And I had no intention of doing that. But when the words, "Stuff your Tone 40 up your a..." become part of the language in your home, you got a problem.

I tried to let it go, got on with my life and moved on. And then Anonymous showed up.

There was simply no way that I could not get involved, even knowing that I would have to pull back and concentrate time on another commitment. I figure that I can stay involved around the edges until Fall. And I can hope that we aren't still fighting when Fall comes.

Till then, I will do all that I can do to stop something that should never have started.

For me it was my own ignorance.

-Tom Cruise video - wtf?
-Investigate
-Anonymous Declaration of war
-Investigate more

Then I was horrified, how can you not be? But what scared the hell out of me the most is that I had no idea. Quirky UFO cult my ass. And no one around me knew anything. There are no major orgs, nearest missions are far off and meanwhile people are dying, being brainwashed, they're taking over cities, they're being elected to offices and on and on. Where the hell was the media? Why was no one talking about this? How could my little corner of the world be so blissfully but dangerously ignorant? That's what got me.

I started with the lulz, read how the CoS would be the perfect target;

- They had a high and mighty perception of themselves
- They were easily butthurt
- And they were big enough to give us some added attention

From there started going through the lines since the first DDoS, writing press releases, blog posts, and so on. More and more research piling on. Still though, it wasn't personal, it was still just something I did on my spare time, to see how powerful the internet really could be.

Then, ExScientologyKids.com started up. I joined the forum figuring this was a good place to learn how the normal scientologist thinks. Then I started reading the stories that weren't based on some faceless human being who I'd never met, and will never meet. These were people I actively interacted with, some of which I have later met at protests. That made it real, that made it personal.

Originally, my thinking was "nearest org hours away, and they're just another screwy religion". I vaguely remembered hearing some bad things attributed to them, but dismissed it as a bunch of internet idiots circle-jerking with their "internet haet machine" (didn't know the phrase at the time, though), like with assorted other /b/tardisms.

Then, in a web comic forum, there was a link about Anonymous vs $cilons. I followed it to the original Chanology page, on partyvan.info. I looked at it, did a little (very little) cursory reading on the subject, and decided I'd be in, for the lulz (though I didn't look at it that way at the time, not being a big fan of the whole *chan scene).

Then I dug deeper. I found out about Paulette Cooper. I found whytheyaredead.net. I read the "This is why we fight" thread here. Now? It's not for the lulz, though I know they'll be had anyway. There's a cold rage that you feel about all that because, God damn it, it is not acceptable, it is NOT FUCKING ACCEPTABLE that innocent people should have their lives destroyed for the sake of a quick buck in the pocket of a con man. $cientology isn't the worst offender in that regard, true, but IMO they're up there on the "fuckheads who need repeated bitchslapping" list. Unlike, say, the brutal thugs in any 3rd world dictatorial shithole, I can make a difference, even if I personally never get a whisper of credit. Hell, if not a single name gets mentioned on the side against $cientology, when Miscavige [spelling?] and company are either in prison or running for their lives (figuratively or literally), it's still worth it.

It's not world peace, or anything like that, but every individual who blows, every dollar spent and not replaced, every $cilon who winds up facing a long vacation in some Graybar Hotel where they become a bitch to the 400 pound asshole with spit and pencil tattoos all over his chest and gets called "sir" by anyone who values their life, it's a win for humanity. Like the saying goes: "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

And I'm stepping the fuck up.

Well, ironically---i don't know if anyone here remembers this...but back when Phil Donahue was still doing a talk show (towards the end) and Prozac had JUST come out, a group of people were making the rounds claiming Prozac made their wife kill their children and various other hysteria. I didn't know who this group was, just something with a "C" ---anyway, the end result was there was a lot of fear about Prozac making people crazy (sound familiar?)--I found out later these people were Scientologists and they wanted to replace psychiatric medicine with their tin can machine.

Diane Sawyer debunked their claims in a PrimeTime special in the 90's (about 10 (?) years later), but those were years people near and dear to me didn't access medication that was LIGHT YEARS beyond what they were taking at the time b/c they were scared by the publicity. Years they might have been happier, some bad things might not have happened.

Anyhoo, hated Scientology ever since. Then when the TC video brouhaha came out I looked into them again and was very angry to find out that they were STILL AROUND!!!! gasp!!!! I thought they'd died out with Hulk Hogan and NWO in the 90's, but NO....

I was stunned to read how far their evil went and what all the OG have been through and have watched Anon from the beginning and am trying to spread the word...
