I'm a scientologist and have been attending courses at a mission for a number of years and have also been audited. There is a lot of misunderstanding in the media and I believe its a nice peaceful organisation.

How do your family feel about your religion?

Each course is around £20-50 ,as I said how quickly you finish then will cost more. I think about it as a lifestyle choice. I don't buy takeaway coffee so buy courses, for example

Have you done the detox/purification rundown?

NiceUnusualDifferent · 10/09/2023 15:55

Do you not think, if they truly wanted you to be a better person, they wouldn't charge?

I did a detox acouple of years ago and it was good and difficult. But worthwhile.
My family are fine about it. I talk to them about it and they see it as a hobby.

I think the prices are fair. There is the cost of printing and teaching/marking and they should be paid.

How can good come from it when parents don't see their children when they leave the religion eg Tom Cruise and his young daughter.

RiaOverTheRainbow · 10/09/2023 15:58

What were you detoxing?

ZadocPDederick · 10/09/2023 15:59

How much money have you given them so far, including everything you've bought?

Do you honestly not think you are in a brainwashing/manipulating/blackmailing dangerous cult?

As if every other religion isn't the same.

I have psychological tests every few months so I can track progress and look at new courses.
I have mixed views on Thetans but I'm going with a metaphor.

Do you believe Schizophrenia/bipolar disorder can be ‘cured’ by taking a walk outside?
Please explain how your org. manifests wellness by focusing on a schizophrenic’s natural abilities?

  1. do you believe women should give birth in silence?
  2. have you watched the Louis Theroux documentary on Scientology?

Talk to me about families with children that separate and one parent leaves the group. Do those children get to choose who they live with or do they stay with the remaining group
member.

if the woman wants to leave and take her children, can she?

thinking the Cruise, Kidman, Holmes situations.

What happens when your org decides your family members are suppressives?

I’m interested on your view of people receiving help for mental illness.

That would be a family matter of course it would be best for the children to stay within scientology. You can leave like you can leave any church.
I believe silent births are best to prevent any trauma on the baby

In my opinion there are some mental illnesses that benefit from medication but others can be helped with dianetics
