[Tammy and Julia, before disconnection]
Prepare yourself for a brutal story of Scientology manipulation and extortion, carried out for no more reason than totalitarian control of vulnerable people…
Today marks ten years since I last saw my daughter, Julia.
I left Scientology in May of 2010. That same month I was told to “unfriend” two veteran Sea Org members who had “gone to the dark side,” according to the Santa Barbara DSA (local rep of the Office of Special Affairs, Scientology’s secret police), Lee Holzinger.
I contacted them and asked them what happened. They told me about the Tampa Bay Times article “The Truth Rundown.” I then contacted Lee and told him what they said. He provided me with “dead agent” material about the newspaper and told me to report to ASHO Ethics.
I reported to Ethics and was shown the references about how I was becoming a Suppressive Person by being “in comm” with other SP’s. Then I was sent off to work on “conditions.”
Time went on and I tried to just fade away from Scientology. I pretended that I had stopped talking to SP’s, but I had only just begun my search down the rabbit hole of “entheta” and it made a lot more sense to me than what I was being told by Ethics.
It was at that point that I began telling my daughter Julia and my husband Derrick about ‘The Hole’ and other things that I had read about. Derrick got so angry at me for going on the Internet and contacting SP’s that he said. “What’s next, are you going to start protesting with Anonymous?”
Things got so heated between us during this time period because he was insisting I go back to Ethics. I told him I was done and if he couldn’t deal with that fact, then we should get divorced. I could not go back, knowing what I knew at that point. His response was, “are you kidding, you are my wife and I love you.” At which point we came to a mutual agreement that if he wanted to continue with Scientology that was fine as long as he was OK with me not continuing.
