We're sometimes called bigots...
So, I have this friend- never been in Scio. And when I was taking courses and getting my grades in the cherch, she was supportive. She said never mind what people say, hey, Tom Cruise goes to your church.
But it eventually I woke up like the rest of the exes and I got the hell out. My opinion of Hub's fuckery is no secret. I certainly try to be civil to people who are still Scilons but if they ask me what I think, I tell them.
My friend tenses up and icicles form in her voice whenever the subject of my Scio criticism comes up. I really don't push her on it but, yeah, we're close friends and what we're into does come up in conversation. We had one rather odd argument where I was yelling, OMG it's a cult! They hurt people! (With a couple examples before she froze me out once again) . This seems awfully ironic given the fact that she's never been in it and is a Christian.
This has made itself felt a number of times.
A few weeks ago we were out apartment hunting (for her) and trying to find the building. I spotted it and said that it's across from an Orthodox Church. She then said And what's wrong with THAT? Uhhhh...I didn't say anything about it. WTF.
So now I've realized that my friend thinks I'm a religious bigot. Whoa! Actually I don't care if you're a pastafarian- just don't ruin people's lives. But, well, to some, exes who speak up are bigots. This is the sort of thing I expect from someone who's still in or even a feezoner. Didn't expect it from someone who has no family in it, no other friends who were involved and who never walked into a Scio location or read a book. Welk, I'm just venting. Wondered if anyone else is catching flak from unexpected quarters.

Scientology Discussion Topics: Pending Reorganization
Or perhaps I should just say "Organization" as the forums under "Scientology Discussion Topics" seem to be in random (that is, no particular) order.
There are 31 separate forums, some with subforums, in the "Scientology Discussion Topics" section. It is difficult for me to find a specific forum, even if I know it exists. I imagine that it is also just as difficult for others. As a result, the "General Scientology Discussion" forum often ends up being a catch-all and collecting posts which really should be in a more appropriate section, but I understand because it's the first on the list and the others are all so random.
So, I am going to work on arranging the forums within "Scientology Discussion Topics" section into groups of similar subjects.
However, I didn't want anyone to be alarmed when things start moving around on the main forum listing page, so I'm making this announcement first. I will also add a dismissable yellow notice at the top of the forum closer to the time when I begin, pointing people to this post in case they missed it. Primarily, I don't want anyone to think there's something wrong when things don't look quite the same as they did.
This will not all happen immediately but will be more of a gradual process as I look at each individual forum and determine which forums are similar enough in subject matter to be grouped under one heading.
Here's a "for instance", although the specifics may change from the example given here:
For New People:
New Member Introductions
Welcome, Media People, look here for contacts
Personal Stories:
My story from inside Scientology
Staff "War Stories"
etc.
Documenting Scientology:
Legal and Government Actions against Scientology
Leaks (leaked emails and other stuff)
Completions lists
etc.

| Each of the new headings will appear the same way that the headings "The Board" and "Scientology Discussion Topics" appear here, that is, as a blue stripe with a description on a gray background below that, followed by the list of forums in that section. Subforums, for the most part, will probably stay under the same forum they're currently under. |
