Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology Subject: To a lost friend... From: wynot@mindspring.com (wynot) Date: Sun, 28 Dec 1997 22:54:34 GMT You will never read this. So you will never know that I am still your friend. You looked out the window of the Church of Scientology, and saw me picketing. And all you saw was someone turned against you, and your great work. You lost sight of almost twenty years of friendship. If you thought at all about why I was doing this, you thought only in the terms allowed you; evil against good, with you on the side of good. My peaceful picket was a rejection of all that you now believe to be right. Maybe, if you had a generous moment, you imagined that I had been seduced by some enemy to attack you in this way. I wasn't. I went out there with my sign knowing full well that it would hurt you, and cost me your friendship. It did not make me happy. I really did not want to. But I knew that no one else was going to do it, and that it had to be done. The official policies of your so called church led directly to the death of Lisa McPherson, and I am convinced that they can lead to your death too. You have told me all about the wonderful, no-nutrition diet their chiropracter shill ( what kind of con-man dreamed up contact reflex analysis, anyway?) has you on. That scared me. You have talked about the super powers you have now, but I have seen a person who believes that the red lights do his bidding; yet still can wreck his car. How is that? What I see is someone who has lost contact with reality, who is no longer capable of rational thought. That really scares me. I know how your phony church treats people who dare to question them in any way. I thought that if I picketed, and your leaders tried to 'handle' me, maybe that would show you the truth about the pseudo-philosophy you have chosen. I thought about the guy who said that if it came to betraying a friend, or his country, he prayed he would have the courage to betray his country, and remembered a time when you agreed. I never thought that you would be the one sent to 'handle' me. And I really never thought that you would do it by threatening a mutual friend, ethercat, to try to intimidate her into making me stop protesting. Guess what? It won't work. It is very difficult to coerce free people. Your masters know this; every dollar they spend trying to protect their power teaches them about it. Now you are going to learn the lesson. You want mastery over MEST? You want things to always go right? The horrible things your masters trained you to say (though they couldn't give you the courage to confront me directly) will not 'handle' this 'situation', nor make it go away. You said that your church has ways of handling people who attack them, and you used the phrase 'dead agent'. Free people do not like to be 'handled'. The coming disconnections are just the beginning. Your church is going to cost you every real friend you have. It won't matter to you, will it? It has already cost you your soul, and your sanity. What is love, after those? I am still your friend. I do not want you to end up Like Lisa Mcpherson. That is why I picketed. This time.
