Scientology Scientology took my money and my children Los Angeles California

I became involved with the Church of Scientology as my employer was a Scientologist and insisted that I must take a beginning course to work for his company. He wanted to pay for me to take this course. I discovered that you are not given the big picture when you attend these beginning courses. When you complete one course you are told that you must do the next course or you cannot graduate. The next course costs more money. If you do not attend the course you are hounded by phone, email and by Church members coming to your home and work to get you to go to course. They do not care if this causes you problems or embarrassment.

Then the mail starts to come, at least 10 pieces of mail each day, if you ask to not receieve the mail then you are taken into an "ethics room" and demanded to know who you have talked to the doesn't like Scientology, if you have read any bad news stories about Scientology and if you have read anything negative online about Scientology.

Basically you are trapped. You have no life as these Scientologists dictate your life as they will call, email and visit your home or work at anytime.

If you do not go along with this, you are extorted by two insidious threats. 1. You will have no enternity. 2. (this is the biggee) You will NEVER be allowed to speak to your friends and family that are Scientologists.

Well, I decided to leave the Church of Scientology after I had spent many years and approximately $500,000. (Yep, that is $500,000). The Church of Scientology went to the two of my children the were in Scientology and demanded that they NEVER speak to me again, It has been 2 years and neither will speak to me. This is extremely painful. I would not wish this on my worst enemy.

So unless, you would like to be controlled, divested of your money and never speak to your family and friends again, DO NOT GET INVOLVED.

The Church of Scientology hides behind front groups such as: South Coast Mission of Lake Forest, Narcanon, ABLE, Criminon, WISE and The Way to Happiness.

By the way, I paid $500,000 and did their courses all the way to the top and guess what, I could have gotten the information for free on the internet. That is why The Church of Scientology does not want you to look at any info about them on the internet.
