Scientologists: Can You Handle the Truth? (Debunking COS' libel)
4 Jan 2004 1

"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" -- or Can YOU?

Hi. Before you throw this away, have some courage.

Don't you think the least you owe me is to read MY side and the FACTS?

This will be brief. I'm merely taking what your "church" has written about me, and I'd like to tell you the truth.

Here ya go, from "Religious Freedom Watch" (Tory Christman) to your ears:

• 1. The photo they have of me there has been altered to make me look worse than I am. That's a bit sick, to begin with. Why do they have to alter people's looks so they can say, "Look how bad she looks?"

• 2. They state: "A perpetrator of death threats against Scientologists" -- that is a TOTAL lie. I have never written or stated a death threat against anyone. I know where they took this from, and it was from a businesswoman in Clearwater and what SHE hoped would happen to Scientology.

• 3. Again, they state: "that incites other extremists to commit crimes against the Church and its members." Again, this is a 100% Lie. I have never "incited extremists to commit crimes against the church" -- unless you call Free Speech a crime now.

• 4. This page then rants on about my friend, Andreas who got interested in Scientology when OSA tried to cancel Free Speech on the Internet.

  I worked with their (OSA Int) Top Secret Internet Mafia, so if you don't believe me, read this:

  http://www.lermanet.com/cos/toryonosa.htm

  He's a free speech advocate, as are many "Critics" now interested in exposing the abuses of Scientology.

  He did offer a prize for the best picket report, and I can understand where you would find that offensive. It still doesn't make it "hate" and that your "church" is trying to create that is sick, again.

• 5. They continue: "Among the half-dozen participants who set out to win their stuffed animal by spouting hate propaganda and disrupting Church services is Tory Christman." I wasn't spouting hate propaganda or disrupting Church Services. We were picketing in front of any empty Scientology Testing Center.

• 6. Again, They lie: "(a.k.a. Tory Bezazian), a middle-aged woman, who roams the streets in front of Churches with, apparently, little else to do." I wasn't ever "roaming the streets." I was picketing your "Church" and exposing their breaking up of families, which they do all the time.

  Saying I have "little else to do" is again, whis is their attempt to make less of me. I have plenty more to do with my life, and I do. Sadly, you won't know about it, as you are forced to Disconnect, because I am speaking about against these abuses, which I'm quite sure in your hearts you too disagree with.

  I'm positive when you joined Scientology you would have never agreed to stop free speech or free thought, or support any organization that does. You're doing it now; why?

• 7. Here's a gigantic bunch of lies: "Christman is known for stalking and harassing Scientologists at their homes" ---

  This is not only a flat out lie, I was actually the person who refused to go stalk a critic (Mark Bunker) or a Scientologist who had left (Dennis Erlick) with Picket signs when OSA asked me to march around their homes. I also told them while still in, "YOU are creating your own enemies.

  They continue this -- just as this page has made them many more enemies. People who don't even know me have written that they could SEE Scientology had altered that photograph!

  "...places of worship..."

  --- if you call picketing, which under the Constitution of the US, I have every RIGHT to picket -- "stalking and harassing" -- you need to re-think how you feel about our country and your rights.

  "...and for launching vindictive personal assaults against them over the Internet..."

  Again, I have spoken and told what has happened to me on the Internet. I am speaking out against their abuses, which are abuses to you, too. Those are not "vindictive personal assaults" -- they are FACTS.

  "...she is an apostate who also specializes in deprogramming with the suppression of freedom of religion and free speech."

  Nothing could be farther from the truth! I don't even know what deprogramming actually consists of, but I have never done it, nor do I plan to. Have I spoken with Scientologists and told them my side of things? You bet. Is that "deprogramming"? No, that's called FREE SPEECH; something not allowed in your "Church"!

  They are TOTALLY against free speech and please read this if you didn't before. It proves what I am saying:

  http://www.lermanet.com/cos/toryonosa.htm

  I am also not against Freedom of Religion. Am I against medical Malpractice? Yes, I am. Am I against the breaking up of families? Yes I am. Am I against someone charging me hundreds of thousands of dollars over 7 years, all while I'm writing, "There is Something wrong with this level" -- and then being told we (OT 7's) were trained wrong, needed to re-do OT 6 & 7 and pay for it too? You bet! Am I against DM and gang altering "the tech" -- actually squirreling it…and pretending it's "standard?" Yes I am. Thus I speak out against these abuses.

• 8. "She badmouthed her ex-husband on the Internet by carefully obscuring the truth that she is the one that ran away from home to join a group of haters, which include people who supports violence, cyber terrorism, neo-nazism and many other forms of intolerance."

  I never badmouthed my now X-Husband (thanks to Bill Yaude and OSA, for creating enough lies so this break up occurred). I never "ran away from home". I left LA to go visit my friends who also had left Scientology, and some critics, who invited me to come visit, where I could sort things out.

  How Scientology has created lies about them, I won't waste my time or yours going into, but they are lies, too.

• 9. This is a TOTAL Lie: "Christman also promoted, in her favorite hate newsgroup, a message to burn down a Church of Scientology."

  I never, ever said that, and again, this is taken from that one lady (A "Wog" as Scientology calls her) who did suggest that, who runs a business in Downtown Clearwater. The fact that OSA has to lie over and over is SO pathetic -- and truly is one of the key reasons I left.

• 10. OSA then rats on about we disturbing their Services, while picketing. The truth is OSA lied, said we were disturbing people in a residential area (above the Testing Center!) and called the police. They then lied to the police, I said, "Get evidence" as some Big OSA cat said he lived upstairs.

  The police asked for evidence that he did in fact live there, of course he had none, so they all left, and now OSA is nattering about me, again.

• 11. "Christman and other individuals affiliated with her engage in these activities with the false belief that they will not be held accountable for their actions. Little do they know that their ignorance of the law will be their own downfall."

  First off, which law have I violated? As you can see, they've lied about me over and over. That is Slander. The above threat -- the same can be said of OSA and the people who lie over and over. The truth shall prevail. Go look into your empty orgs... that might be your first indicator.

  Karma will win out, in the end. We all have to be responsible for our actions, and I'm happy to say, I'm proud to be free from this totalitarian organization.

• 12. "The photograph at left shows Tory Christman standing outside a Church facility intimidating a parishioner with her hate sign and tape recording without his consent."

  The sign I am carrying says, "Honk if you know Scientology is a CULT."

  People honked all day long.

  Sorry kids, that's a fact. IF you studied what is a cult, or IF you read what actually happened within your group, you would understand. However, you cannot. I know you say you don’t want to. The truth? You CANNOT.

  I had no hate sign, nor do I hate Scientologists.

  I wasn't "intimidating" a parishioner…and here I was actually taping the sounds of the black Israelites who were about 5 feet from there. They were making huge amounts of noise, however OSA had no problem with them upsetting their supposed people upstairs.

  Each person I spoke with was fine that I taped him or her. Before I taped, I asked, so that wasn't as they make it seem, once again.

  And

• 13: "On February 21, 2001, Christman was found in contempt of court for refusing to abide by a court order to cease harassing Scientologists in Florid."

  This one is too long to type out. You'll just have to call me and find out, or know this: Once again, your "church" proved they are far from a true religion, and very much a totalitarian organization.

Here are some key facts:

Since I have left the "Church of Scientology" I have been happier, healthier, and 100% less Introverted than when I was "in."

I no longer suffer from endless guilt for not doing enough for mankind, and now I actually DO quite a bit more than I ever did while "in."

I do miss my old friends, however I’ve made wonderful new friends all over the world. I've also re-connected with TONS of Scientologists who left years ago. (It's truly amazing how many people are out. I remember one of my friends and I were comparing the old days and how it was then, right before I left.

We both agreed we used to have tons of friends, and now we each had around 4. We both wondered where all those people went. Would you like to know? They're OUT -- leading healthy, happy lives, no longer Scientologists at all. Some still use the tech, some don't -- but all agree they're much happier out than in.

I wish you all well, and hope you are doing very well in your lives. I cannot say enough how destructive I now know "disconnection" is, to you and to the many families who have lost loved ones.

Hatred is a terrible thing, and the looks I have gotten from some "OT's" is absolutely filled with hate, and very bad for you all.

If there were one thing you could do to help Scientology's image, it would be to get that cancelled.

PEACE!

And be well,

Tory Christman :)
