1. How did you first become acquainted with the Church of Scientology?

newspaper

2. What initially appealed to you about scientology?

Bought the pr.

3. Were there problems in your life that you thought scientology would address?

unhappiness

4. Did you see, experience, or hear about things that didn't seem right while you were in the Church of Scientology? What were they, and what convinced you to set aside your feelings?

Being held under what amounted to House Arrest. In this day and age-sure it happens in political circles-but in a Church????

5. Why did you choose to stay in the Church of Scientology?

gullible but given the huge bombardment of false and misleading information by the Church one can be forgiven.

6. Were you staff or public? If staff, was it at a mission or an org? Were you ever in the Sea Org or OSA? Which unit? If not on staff, did you ever volunteer to 'help out'?

N/A

7. Why did you leave the Church of Scientology? Was there a "final straw"?

bled to death financially and almost mentally.

8. Do you think the Church of Scientology needs to change some of its practices? If so, what should be changed? How did those practices affect your life?

Most definitely-where to begin???

Created emotional problems and anxiety where there were none and enhanced any that were there to begin with. Sure, there were improvements here and there in myself(which I paid top dollar for) but that was unfortunate in retrospect as it just kept me paying and ultimately suffering the rest of the BS.

9. If the items you listed in the previous question were changed, would you consider rejoining or staying in the Church of Scientology? If so, why?

No, it's a Utopian dream expecting them to change. They do not self-inspect re the real damaging practices. They are big on arrogance, ignorance and criminal activity.

10. Any additional comments you would like to make?

It is very sad about the inhibition of information imposed upon the staff and public.
