Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to
questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short
while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and
started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I
removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's
also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg

Subject: What is 'Dissconnetion'
Anonymous asked this question on 5/1/2000:
I've been reading about a policy of "Dissconnection" and I'm not sure
what it means. Could you clairfy it for me?

Greg Churilov gave this lie on 5/2/2000:
Scientology has a wealth of information on relationships and
communication.
One piece of information in this much larger subject is Disconnection.
Sometimes people are associated with individuals that cause them harm.
This cultist also doesn't mention that the cult member is ordered to
write a "letter of disconnection" to their family member or
loved one -- upon pain of being shipped off to the cult's RPF -- the
cult's prison work camp - flr]
When a person has a heavy codependency or addiction to another
person that is obviously a negative influence (for example, in a case of
domestic violence or drug abuse), or in a situation where someone is
actively preventing the individual from succeeding in life, the Church
recommends Disconnection.
It just means breaking ties and getting away from the damaging person.
It is the very last resort, after the Ethics Officer has ascertained that no
amount of talking, reasoning, etc. has helped the situation.
Even State Law has a similar solution, they even go to the extremes of a
"restraining order" is the person is considered a threat.
Scientology does not get into that. There is no action other than
recommending the individual distance himself/herself from the source of
harm.

[What this cultist doesn't mention is that "harm" means
anything that adversely impacts his cult leader's revenues. The term
"disconnection" as used by the cult's leaders and followers
means that cult members who have loved ones trying to help them escape
are "disconnected." Cultists are ordered never to speak
with their family or loved ones ever again.
[And by "succeeding in life," the cultist means paying money to
the cult's ringleaders. Anyone who goes to the authorities to try to get
their family member or loved one out of the criminal cult threatens the
criminal cult's revenues. Their loved one inside of the cult is ordered
to "disconnect" and never speak with their family or loved ones
ever again - flr]
[And "damaging people" means anyone who threatens the cult's
revenues - flr]

[Which won't tell you word #1 about the cult's inhuman and insane
"disconnection" policy - flr]
