Yes... sadly this is true.
This prompted me to write an open letter to Rebecca.
Emended - Jan 25 2023
Dear Rebecca,
For many years you were a dedicated student at RSE and a key financial supporter.
So it came as no surprise that you were a witness signatory on behalf of JZ Knight on the JZK, Inc. vs D McCarthy
NZ lawsuit settlement document - May 2014.
JZ Knight has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to drive these lawsuits worldwide that also targeted Virginia Coverdale, Glen Morgan and others.
Why? Knight's well oiled R$E litigation machine is designed to keep the truth about RSE hidden from public scrutiny while also serving to intimidate former students from openly speaking out. Scientology uses much the same methods to silence its critics.
I have no doubt that JZ Knight and her lawyers understood that if I had had my day in Court I stood a very good chance of defeating her lawsuit and if so, the information about RSE I attempted to make public would have prevailed.
The settlement agreement you signed was forced upon me by the NZ legal aid authorities who withdrew my lawyers funding
after I refused Knights settlement offer, my lawyers walked away.
But that’s another story and its not why I'm writing this open letter to you.
From 1989 till 1996 I was also dedicated student having moved to Yelm from New Zealand. I continued to live in Yelm until moving back to NZ in 2011. During all that time I met some remarkable and wonderful RSE families and students.
Many had also left their homelands holding fast to deep and courageous spiritual convictions to learn and become what the great healers,
artists and teachers of this world had become. This is what was claimed to be taught at RSE by "Ramtha".
Some of these kindred spirits are still my friends today, Some have met an early grave, While others believe me be a hateful person to criticize their beloved School and teacher so publicly, that I was too weak to do the 'Great Work'!
I do understand why you were drawn to move to Yelm to attend RSE and how passionate you were to educate and protect children.
It was the direct targeting and recruitment of families and children that helped me wake-up to the RSE deceptions, abuse and madness that after seven years of attending RSE I was sinking ever deeper into a state callous dehumanization and irrational absurd reasoning,
like the proverbial frog in a slowly heated cauldron unable to jump out until it dies.
It was while witnessing 'Ramtha' verbally shaming a child in front of a thousand students while we all stood dumbstruck as the child wept,
was one of the many 'wake-up calls' that something was terribly corrupt, immoral and destructive about 'Ramtha', especially for families and children. Perhaps if JZ /Ramtha had not targeted our families and children I would have just walked away and remained silent.
You were made to feel that extra special by 'Ramtha' but this was not for your shining spirit, you were the new RSE Golden Goose to sit on JZ Knight's Table. You were 'extra' targeted and groomed Rebecca, ensnared and betrayed, as we all were.
Surely you understand this now? having shut down your RSE inspired Children's School and moved back home to South Africa.
I kindly ask you this…
If you have finally ‘woken up' to the true nature of RSE, especially after giving over so much of your life and financial support to JZ Knight,
Please, will you now speak out? or, at the very least support those that do?
Regardless of all the above Rebecca,
I wish you and your family all that is precious, good and true in life,
That your future path is illuminated by the light within your heart,
And your vision for a greater and more caring world for all children and humanity is fulfilled.
With kind regards,
David.
