Info

I have had numerous ex-scientologists contact me while working at the LMT (Lisa
McPherson Trust) and afterward looking for answers. I have always enjoyed helping others. Many of them had questions that were not easily answered. Everyone wanted to know what happens now? What do I do now?

I used to comb the web and research articles to find the answers they were seeking and give out pieced together lists of links from various sites to try and answer their many complex questions.This is what I would like to pass on now.

I decided to start a site myself where many of these questions can be answered quickly and easily in one place. Moving on with one's life after being part of something so intense can be the most difficult thing to overcome. I hope provide a glimmer of hope with this website.

I would love to hear about your experience and help in any way I can. Email me (Ingrid) at Wogette@aol.com

Due to the nature of Scientology with litagation I am not planning on posting most of the information I have gathered or documents. Please feel free to contact me.

Disconnection...

From Wikipedia:

Disconnection is a practice in Scientology, in which a Scientologist severs all ties between themselves and friends, colleagues, or family members that are deemed to be antagonistic towards Scientology. The practice of disconnection is a form of religious shunning.

Antagonists to the Church of Scientology are declared by the church to be "antisocial personalities", Potential Trouble Sources (PTS), or Suppressive Persons (SPs). The Church of Scientology teaches that association with such persons impedes one's spiritual growth.

According to Church statements, disconnection is used as a "last resort", only to be employed if the persons antagonistic to Scientology do not cease their antagonism -- even after being provided with "true data" about Scientology, since it is taught that usually only people with false data are antagonistic to the Church.

Disconnection has sometimes ended marriages and separated children from their parents.
