Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology Subject: Comparing Stresses From: inForm@primenet.com (Rev. Dennis L Erlich) Date: 24 Mar 1996 11:50:02 -0700 Faithful Reader, Grady Ward has received a Temporary Restraining Order for taunting the cult and their ho-corps of scumbag lawyers too effectively. He is being sued as an individual; RTC v Grady. He will appear in front of Judge Whyte on Friday, March 29th at 9am, in pro per, I am told. On Wednesday March 27th I will appear in front of a judge in San Diego County, charged with contempt of court by my darling ex-wife's, scieno-paid divorce attorney. I could possibly go to jail for failing to pay child support during the time Rosa hid Holly from me. Or even for expressing my true feelings about how San Diego County, where I've never even lived, has managed to strip me of my constitutional rights and saddle me with a bogus $40,000 debt for failing to pay child support during the time the child was hidden from me. My 3-year-clean, recovering dope-fiend brother has just changed jobs. He now has one based on straight commission and will probably be unable to support my niece and nephew adequately for a few months. This will require him to borrow more money from my elderly mother. My father died in February, leaving my mother living on just over half the social security income they had when they were both collecting. I am just back from visiting my mom for the last several days and trying to help her cope with the loss, as she puts it, of "her right arm." They were going to celebrate their 58th wedding anniversary this month. We visited with my uncle and aunt. She just came out of a 3 month coma after open-heart surgery. I washed my mom's car, despite the fact that the landlord forbids tenants in her apartment house from doing so. I cleaned her whole house as usual. I reviewed all the legal paperwork associated with my father's passing. We took long walks every day. We talked, reminiced and comforted each other. During the visit, I was reminded of the fact that on my rare one-week leaves from the C-org, Rosa, Holly and I always stayed at my folks apartment; a 2 bedroom, rent-controlled, 2nd floor, dwelling where the furniture and pictures on the wall have been in the same arrangement for 20+ years. I recalled the relaxation I had felt while we were on leave from the C-org. It's funny, but I realized during the past few days, even with the scieno's fair-game, legal, dead-agent attack on me, and with the normal, real-life stresses relating to family and money, that I am under far less stress *now* than when I was in the C-org, and the cult owned my soul. This is a breeze compared to the effort it took to be a brain-dead zombie. It's ironic, isn't it? Rev. Dennis L Erlich * * the inFormer * *
