Yes... sadly this is true.
This prompted me to write this open letter to Rebecca.
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 students and their families.
Many had also left their homelands holding fast to deep and courageous spiritual commitments and convictions to learn and become what the great healers, artists and teachers of this world had become. This as you know 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 disgruntled hateful person who failed to do his disciplines to have criticized their beloved School and "Ramtha' 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, cruel abuse and madness that after seven years of attending RSE I found myself sinking ever deeper into a state callous dehumanization and irrational absurd reasoning,
like the proverbial frog in a slowly heated cauldron becoming to weak to jump out and dies.
Perhaps you can understand that now the RSE trap.
It was while witnessing 'Ramtha' verbally shaming a child in front of a thousand students while we all stood silent and dumbstruck as the child wept. Apparently the little girl had been caught stealing from cars by the Red guard.
One of the many 'wake-up calls' that something was terribly corrupt, immoral and destructive about 'Ramtha', especially for families our children. Perhaps if JZ /Ramtha had not targeted our families I would have just walked away and remained silent.
Dear Rebecca you were groomed to feel that extra special at RSE but this was not for your shining spirit you were the new RSE Golden Goose, you replaced RB to sit at the head JZ Knight's Table. You were groomed, ensnared and betrayed Rebecca, as we all were. But you more so.
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, love and financial support to JZ Knight,
Please will you now speak out somehow? 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 to come to you and your loved ones.
That your chosen future paths are always illuminated by the light within your heart,
and your visions and quest for a greater and more caring world for all children and humanity is fulfilled.
With kind regards,
David.
