It took me a dozen years to even accept that my mental health had been destroyed by scientology, then a lot longer to seek help. I am amazed ian’s willing to get help so soon.

Hana and Jerry are definitely worthy of help. The photo of Jerry in the hospital broke my heart.

Thank you for sharing both stories.

Enjoy your week off. I sincerely hope the week off is good for the jury and you have a great week.

Regarding our theories on the lock:

I think it’s the use of the word “deadlock” that has folks in a tizzy (myself included). It implies a finality that we just haven’t reached yet, and I think that makes the proceedings feel more ... finished (?) than they actually are.

Just a thought.

Thank you for mentioning Jerry & Hana.

There are links to more of their story, a GoFundMe site set up for them. Or how to donate via Zelle all on my FB site:

Hey Tory! It’s been a long time since i’ve seen you I visited you in the early aughts shortly after you left Scientology. It was me and my husband at the time in 2002 or so.

At any rate I hope one day we can catch up once more.

They deserve the help. Thank you Tony for bringing this out there. Always look forward to something from Bunker-town again :) lol that song is in my head now! Therapy is difficult I’m in CBT and it’s just a lot of work, it makes me realize how hard it would be for ex-Scientologists to seek it as well.
