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

met members in a business

2. What initially appealed to you about scientology?

Nothing, then I read Dianetics

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

Wasn't sure but thought I'd give it a shot

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?

Anything that didn't seem right stemmed from the actions of individuals. When it was near me, I attempted to handle the problem personally.

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

Scientology is effective in handling conditions in life for the better. Period.

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'?

Both. At an org. Never in the SO. Was in OSA.

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

Never left. I'm not a cranky victim who can't take responsibility for my inaction like so many others who whine in fora such as this.

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?

No. It just needs to abide by Hubbard's policies. When those are followed things will go fine. The only time things go wrong are when Scientologists get it into their heads that they know better then to use established policies.

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?

I am staying.

10. Any additional comments you would like to make?

This is a waste of time.
