			<description><![CDATA[Awesome resignation letter, Robyn. You told that tale of woe so well, that I perceived every picture, emotion, and pressure you experienced. Perhaps that's not surprising, considering that so many of us have experienced similar trials during our time within the corporate church. It pained me greatly to follow you through that sordid tale. Just as it has pained me to see other good people be abused and cast aside like so much worthless chaff. Even when I was far out on the peri[censored]ery of tragic injustices I was familiar with, I somehow still perceived the greater, hidden darkness of those episodes. Over time, it all piles up on a being, and the trust factor goes through the floor. One begins rolling up into a withdrawn ball of mass, because the time, place, form, and event of such incidents is hidden behind a curtain of blackness and cut communication. The truth that would as-is that mass, and help a person to keep their anchor points way way out, is never revealed, and so a person winds up either abandoning their own valence and becoming a robot, or they wind up confused and mis-emotional - unable to make sense of the outpoints they've witnessed. Either way, it's a recipe for degradation. The only way to solve it, of course, is to discover the truth one way or another. Fortunately, the path to restored group sanity is available to any church member who grants themselves the permission to LOOK. Thank goodness the Independent field has given us the time, place, form, and event to LOOK at, and thereby restore our personal sanity in this area. I want to thank you for being one of the first people to take me under your wing, Robin. I very much appreciate your friendship and kindness.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I know it took me a while, but I finally sat down and read your declaration of independence. I can relate to so much of what you said, especially having been a staff member having the goal in mind to become a classed auditor. You obviously did whatever was asked (like being a supervisor & other posts) to help the group. It really hit home with me how you were made to individuate. I've come to realize that IS the goal. Push your anchor points in on how BAD and EVIL you are - unlike the rest of us high and mighty beings. Like Watchful Navigator commented "Robin and many other quite capable intern auditors were ruthlessly swept aside" - LRH talks about this exactly. The more you know, the more of a threat you are and the more you must be debilitated - according to SPs. And helpful souls that we are, we fricken fall for that shit! I did. You obviously did too. In reality, you had a bulls eye on your back. All of us did. Anyone trying to do standard tech did and does still. I used to think getting declared would be the worst imaginable thing that could EVER happen to me and I left before it happened and before the corporation started using secret declares. I thought back then in '99 that if I kept myself from getting declared, I'd come back later, after raising my kids or maybe even next lifetime. Meanwhile, I'd help mankind in other less noble ways. But for a couple of years now, finding the truth of where the suppression was coming from and how it filtered down to even the lowly missions (the ones that got thousands of people on the Bridge) and reading stories like yours, I realize getting declared gives you freedom from the SPs - instead of hiding like I was so I wouldn't get declared. So thank you for being there and communicating, especially as a fellow auditor - listener - as you definitely have helped me in my life in just the short time we've known each other. I am proud to be your friend.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I know Robin's family very well. His wife and kiddos are amazing, kind and talented people. Robin is no more a suppressive person than the good man who stops on the side of the road to help you change a tire in the rain. Being on staff with his wife was a joy, and working with those boys in the course room was one of the bright spots in my Academy experience. :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks folks. Some of you were obviously there in Dallas back in the day. And to you I say, it's heartening to see you finding your feet, finding your way, towards total freedom. My life has blossomed and flourished as never before since I took this step. And I wish each of you the very best and hope to get back in comm with you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Robin was doing a fantastic job holding down the HGC in the 90's in Dallas. His ARC was tremendous. He stood up to a lot of abuse, on which he has humbly told the lesser tale. It is clear to me now that the purpose DM had in forcing his GAT on orgs was to get rid of people like Robin. That he stayed on all this time trying anyway, speaks volumes about his basic purpose. That Flag has been turning out more and more harmful products (and exteriorizing the free theta that approaches it) validates his perceptions that he had indeed arrived at one of the main seats of evil that DM has been using to destroy our religion. You cannot hope to make anything but disaster, let alone clear a planet, when you enforce suppressive training. Flag-trained auditors of today factually make enemies for Scientology. Just as LRH warned in those exact words. Robin's auditing made many, many friends for Scientology and -that- is the standard organized scientology sadly has no further use for. I regret having played a role in fanatically forwarding a lot of those disastrous changes like GAT, while Robin and many other quite capable intern auditors were ruthlessly swept aside, but I am so happy to see he has made it out with the rest of us here, to live in the joy and power of the truth. Robin's declare is now being secretly guarded in the Dallas HCO, because Robin's character is practically unassailable with the public and the minions left defending DM's evil empire know they cannot afford to trigger further revolt. No due process, no committee of evidence offered, just a covertly arranged, unannounced yellow sheet of paper to show selected staff that they must now stop communicating with him. By the way, what tone level is that???]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Robin was a supervisor in the Academy in Dallas in 1979 — before Miscavige greed killed the CoS. In those days, hanging out in the CoS was fun. Robin has been a great terminal for many people over the years and is one of the few ex-staffers from that era who are still Scientologists today.]]></description>
