Are they still coming after you? They came after me for a little over 10 years. From 14 to about 26/27 Having lived through this hell myself as a kid I wasn't going to ask any questions, but as I was stalking the comment section I noticed one of the first things you listed as a catalyst for new membership.
"Death of a loved one".
This is EXACTLY how they got my parents and I still blame them for the actual death of my mother to this day. They were desperate, she had cancer. Basically they convinced her that she didn't need and definitely should not subject herself to treatment. That she didn't need it and that it was more poison than treatment. They could just audit it out. Clearly she was just infected with interstellar negativity emanating from invisible space ghosts.
She died a long and extremely slow and painful death and my sister and I had to watch her waste away and cry in pain on a daily basis in between the audits at the DC area location of this place. I don't think it was the main DC building, but I could be wrong because it's been decades, but I know for a fact it was at least on the way to DC in Maryland. She ultimately did seek treatment before dying, but by then it was too late. had she not listened to these people and gotten treatment started immediately? Her Doc said she most likely would have survived, or at least given herself several more years.
I will not call them a church. They are not a church.
Man, just reading this and commenting has got my adrenalin up to 1000. There's so much more bad behind the readers digest version of my experience with Scientology and the whole thing honestly. I've got PTSD from that time in my life that I am still dealing with in my 40s. For instance in addition to the adrenalin I am physically shaking so hard that I keep hitting the wrong keys and having to retype my sentences.
I'm glad you got out. I hope more people do soon as well. Thank you so much for doing this AMA!
