NO,it is not. If disconnection is not the correct action then a
responsible Scientologist would be expected not to take such an action.
There really is not much of it that goes on but I do know that it does
take place sometimes. And abuses occur,I do not doubt. But they are
rarer than you believe them to be.

I also have some stuff on this in a prev posting to Tilman you may want
to look at.

And here is a quick example of NOT disconnecting- I know someone who is
very involved in CofS whose relative gives her children psychiatric
drugs. She has not disconnected from her relative.

I gave an earlier example of someone I know who is married to a
non-Scn'ologist who really does not see the attraction her spouse has to
Scn. No pressure was put on the guy to disconnect from his wife and
they have stayed together.
