‘Scientology — a war without guns’. ABC 20/20 report. Dan Harris interviews lawyer Monique Yingling and ex-Scientologist Mike Rinder:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aacRB0Uzh8M
Pertinent portion of interview:
Yingling: When someone in the church decides they no longer want to communicate with someone who’s left the church, it only happens when that person starts to attack the church and attack their beliefs.
Harris: Is that voluntary though?
Yingling: Of course. It’s always voluntary.
[Rinder comments in separate interview: It’s patently absurd. It’s just ridiculous. You have the choice of whether you want to disconnect or not. The rest of that sentence is: ‘.... and if you don’t disconnect then we will then deem you what is called a suppressive person and everybody that you know that is a scientologist will disconnect from you.’]
Harris: If you don’t disconnect from a suppressive person, will you be kicked out of the church?
Yingling: No you won’t be kicked out of the church. There may be .... uh .... specific services that you will not be able to participate in, so long as you’re connected to a suppressive person.
Harris: Right. So it’s voluntary but there are consequences if you don’t disconnect.
Yingling: .... Well, there are consequences in every choice we make in, in, in life.
