I have below a document which, when finished, I intend to give to any and all scientologists, whether staff or "public". I welcome discussion, disection and dissemination of this draft, of any or all points, by any or all people, Scientologists and Critics alike. Maybe when polished, it can even be included in the FAQ, for it is precisely this type of data recent ex-scientologists like me desire, I reckon.

Regarding the 2 web sites, for follow ups, I know there are many awesome sites out there, heh, but it's the names of these 2 which will make a scio think the most - "entheta.net" while awesome, will close a scientologists mind.

Now I don't actually *want* to get sued, nor be forced to withdraw the document, and so, I think, if all statements are definately correct, then they couldnt actually get me on anything, could they? Tho of course they will file lawsuits.

Feel free to add more facts, and alter whatever isnt appropriate. At this time I am not saying or implying that anything below is truthful. ---yet.

This document is one sided, but it is these facts which are often occluded from Scientologists. I urge you to find out more for yourself, at http://www.scientology.org and http://www.scientology-kills.org

By informing people of the truth about Scientology in this way, I expect to be investigated and sued - not because I have done or am doing anything illegal, but because of the church’s litigious nature and past.
