Mike Rinder: I went to an Internet café and I called Tom DeVocht, who I had known for a very long time and he had left the Sea Organization, and who I was responsible for monitoring because he was considered to be a potential threat. So I knew where he worked, and I called him at work and I said, "Tom, I'm in London, I don't have anywhere to go. Can I come to where you're living?". And he said, "Yes, of course." I was prepared for the fact, at that time, that once I left, my children and my former wife would never speak to me again. I hoped that they would follow, but I knew that there was a likelihood that they would not, but I just couldn't keep going. I had been married to my wife for 31 years when I left. I asked to be able to speak to her. I didn't have the opportunity to. She sent me a-a handwritten note saying "Fuck you. I'm filing a divorce." My children disconnected from me. I understood why they did it. I understood that they really had no choice. They know no life outside of Scientology, and I feel a responsibility for having created that... circumstance.
