Another ex comes out...

This was posted on eo. I hope he doesn't mind if I bring it over here.

Hello Anonymous, Hello Scientologists;

As some of you know, I joined this group approximately 2 months ago. I am ex SO, and was posted in CLO EUS in NY. I was in WISE, and when I blew I was the CO WISE EUS. Before that I was Ethics Officer and Membership Services Director. Everyone above me ended up getting RPF'd, and I was put in charge. I blew during a very rough time when the church tried to separate my wife and I "for the greatedt good for the greatest number of dynamics". We returned to route out properly. The church was unable to do so per the tech, inspite of the fact that we paid our way to LA to get routed out. I have been out a long time. I was in the SO for aproximately 2 1/2 yrs, and staff around a year before that at LI Org. I wished to remain anonymous, until I was ready to come out. I am ready.

My name is Chris Tringali. My brother in-law and his daughter are scientologists. She is the one called Meghan on the "Puthy Video", taking pictures with John Carmichael. She is on staff at NY Day. Her dad is on OTVII. His wife is my sister.

I am an ordained minister of the Gospel. It is my life, and Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. When I left Sci, I did nothing as far as public protesting goes. To date, I still have not - nor has my wife. The reason I say this is because a public at NY org, one Gary Epstein, thought he spotted Nancy at the June protests. He thought she was the person dressed up in the parrot outfit!! For your info, Gary or any other scilons searching these anti-sci sites, if and when I decide to protest, I will not be in disguise. I need not disguise myself from this organization.

Anyway, A couple of years after leaving scientology, I found out that a public who I worked alot with in WISE from clearwater, a really nice woman named Ruth Valko, died of cancer. She was OT8. I realized that people are dieing because the tech does not work, not as it should for an OT, anyway. I got really angry and wanted to speak out, but did not.

Then, 2 1/2 months ago, we get a DVD in the mail from Joannie Gambino, Flag Rep DC org. She was my wifes best friend when in the SO. The DVD came with a letter from Joannie stating something to the effect of "look! They figured out what the problem was! You guys should come back!!" Come Back!? Please. The DVD was the event where DM announces that "all the literature was edited and printed incorrectly, they fixed it, WOW- the wins, you gotta buy all new materials!!"

Dear scientologists reading this - WAKE UP!!!! This is a money hungry organization that does not care one iota about your "state". They would just as soon chew you up and spit you out if it would benefit them. They want your time, resources and money to further their cause - which theologically is false. Believe me - I worked behind the scenes of scientology. Do you have the cahonies to see if I am correct? JOIN THE SO. Why haven't you - to date? Public Scientologists do not see the reality of scientology. All you see is a front. The upper management (whoever's left that has not yet been declared, that is) and DM are the SP's.

Anyway, if Joannie and sci would have just left us alone. But no. Then, I go home this past weekend to attend a funeral for an uncle who passed. My brother in law shows up at the service looking like hell. Thin, dark cyrcles under the eyes, unshaven for days - sickly looking. His particaption in this "religion" may be killing him. I have nothing to lose coming out and speaking the truth as I experienced it about this organization. The extent of relationship I have with their family is fair roads-fair weather now, and they are continuing on in this "religion". So, I will try this. My brother in-law, had cancer and states that he got well because of scientology. Funny thing is, buddha, you got cancer while you were a scientologist.

Then, last week, I get a call from the Dir I&R NY Day (which is the org my niece works in in div 6). He gave me his name, but I do not remember it, other than that he said his last name was Hubbard, which I thought was pretty funny. He tells me he got this "Things that should not be" report from Gary Epstein, who claims he saw a "chefanon" and "anonafish" on enturb.org who he thinks are me and my wife and that He believes my wife was at the protest dressed as the parrot. I said my wife was not there as a parrot and I knew nothing about chefanon or anonafish. This was not truthful, however at that time I was a member of anonymous and wished to remain so, so, like, I was not giving my identity away. I asked him if he got my telephone number from my niece and asked him if she was there with him. He told me he did not and she was not there and that he has not told her anything about a possible connection with anonymous or that he was contacting me.

I must say now that after I thought about this when I got off the phone - that this was probably all BS. She likely gave him my phone number and was standing right there. I believe this may be the case because in all my time connected with scientology I NEVER ONCE saw any concern of this kind from a Sci exec toward a lower level staff member.

Meghan, if you see this, and I doubt you will, I love you and please please get out. This organization does not care about saving the planet. It wants to take over the planet and these are 2 very different things. You can hate me and you can feel hurt by my coming out, but when the time comes, if it ever comes, that you are out and feel alone and lost, know that our door is always open to you. You too, buddha. WE UNDERSTAND HOW THAT FEELS. We went through alot when in the SO and were exposed to things that as staff in an org or public you will never see. I have no reason to lie to you. Absolutely none. It is your safety and well being I care about. I know they do not care about you. To everyone above you there, you are a stat and THAT is all they really care about.

To you, Mr Dir I&R NY Day: Sorry I could not be totally truthful when you called. But, you see, I was "anonymous". Since we talked, that hasn't sat right with me, so I have decided now was the time to come out. My wife was not the parrot. As I told you before, neither of us have yet to attend a protest.

You asked me if "I have an ax to grind with scientology??" Literally speaking, I do not have an ax and how can one grind an ax against an organization of people?? So I ansered "NO". Your question was too vague. I do not believe in scientology. I do not believe it "works". I believe it is brainwashing - that comes from an "ex-brainwashed". At best, scientology contains some natural laws and axioms that were not invented by LRH, but he codified and put into books, which can help at times and do indeed assist a man to control another. This is not very theta. At worst.......

I do not know if we will be attending protests - I am very busy and as a pastor it is hard to get away especially on weekends. BUT, anyone with questions about sci and my experience with it is free to post or PM me. I will answer as I remain free to exercise my first amendment rights.

This is True,
Chris Tringali

Chris,

If you read this on this board, your letter is a good one, and CONGRATULATIONS on getting out! Isn't it nice to be actually free to think with your own thoughts, feelings, etc...? I do look forward to seeing you in the protest pictures, and you deserve applause for your courage to go as yourself, undisguised. Well Done!

Keep well, and best of luck!

Sincerely,

Christopher Prevost

Whoopideedoo!

Suck on THIS one, Scientology! Gum it up and choke it down!

Another freshly-minted anti-cult activist, courtesty of the criminal cult's long con!

Congratulations to you, your wife and family, Chris.

I hope your brother-in-law and niece get out!

Check out the BIG Beghes on Chris!!!!!!!

KICKASS!!!!

How SUCCEED is this? Awesome! I love this part: "...if and when I decide to protest, I will not be in disguise. I need not disguise myself from this organization." That's young David planting a rock right in the middle of OSA Goliath's forehead. Well done, friend.

I love your message Chris,

You can hate me and you can feel hurt by my coming out, but when the time comes, if it ever comes, that you are out and feel alone and lost, know that our door is always open to you. You too, buddha. WE UNDERSTAND HOW THAT FEELS.

There are a lot of us waiting for our friends and loved ones to wake up and get out. Congratulations and all the best to you, Nancy, your brother in-law and his daughter Meghan.
P.S. What other ‘religion’ would seriously accuse someone of being dressed as a parrot.

What other ‘religion’ would seriously accuse someone of being dressed as a parrot.

Mewhahahaaa! I, too, noticed that in Chris's post. The Scilons seem downright OBSESSED with the parrot.
I wonder ... does a parrot perhaps have some heretofore unknown Scientological significance?
