I have to say....that I absolutely love this board. You folks really say it like it is, and for the most part seem to have recovered fully!
I was never a Mormon,but ..... I was in a very similiar mind control cult (Church of Scientology)for over 10 years and escaped from it about 20 years ago. In fact, I would have entirely forgotten about them, but in 2008, the cult went and kicked the internet bee-hive called Anonymous.
Anonymous responded, both on the internet and in real life, by protesting the cult globally, with over 9000+ anons demonstrating at 100+ locations.
At about the same time (spring of 2008), the cult decided to try to "recover" everyone and anyone who had ever taken a course, or bought a book on scientology. So they ended up really irritating a LOT of people who had long since realized it was a scam, myself included.
Since then I regularly comment on newswebsites,blogs, etc....about the dangers of scientology.
Currently there is a petition at the US Whitehouse website, to get the Church of Scientology investigated by the Justice Dept/ FBI/ IRS.
There is currently a major push to obtain 5000 electronic signatures on this petition - that has just been put up on the US Whitehouse website. The petition has only been up for a few days, and it already has over 2500 signatures, another 2500 signatures are needed by October 24, 2011 in order for an official investigation to be initiated.
Please consider signing this petition, and help spread the word. And if you are considering a similiar petition, we can certainly work together!
This is quick and easy, and takes only 5 minutes. Only your first name and last initial will show up on the petition. Here is the website:
http://wh.gov/4OsOr the longer URL:
https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#! - then click on "open petitions"(top of page) - then type in scientology in the search bar, and it will take you directly to that petition.
