A Terrible Decision

08/15/19 • 15 min

I was only 6 or 7 when the cult of Scientology took over my life. I explain how this happened to me, my little sister and my mom. I found a handwritten letter my mother wrote that helped fill in the blanks. We were a happy NORMAL family of 3. Single mom and two little girls. What happened that would convince my mother to make an awful decision that would end up tearing up our entire family tree and feeding it into a shredder NEVER to be put back together.

Twisted Sophie's Choice

As a Sea Org member, I had to keep my pregnancy secret. I knew what had happened to other women that got pregnant: they were sent away to strange and unknown places to run small and failing Scientology organizations (they don't call them churches). I was getting sick a lot and that means you are in trouble and sent to the Ethics Officer to "figure out" what you are doing to cause your sickness. That's when I spilled the beans and was immediately branded an unethical human. Why would I choose to have my baby over "putting in ethics on Planet Earth"? Who was the woman that trapped me in a room in an attempt to get me to abort my baby? Where would I go to get help or try to change the ugly future I was expecting to live? I went to David Miscavige and I share exactly what his response was to me BEGGING for help.

Manipulating Children Is Easy

I have no idea what I don't know. None of us do. Punishment for a child and adult are the same in Scientology. I explain one of the many methods used to control me, my sister and every member. How is this OK? Why is it done? One thing that has been proven is a child's brain growth follows a specific path as they get age. If you took a chunk of time out of a child's life (say age 5 until 25) and taught them they were not a child at all but that they were an adult in a small body, kicked them out of their family if they misbehaved, publicly shamed them into conforming, punished them for showing any resistance to the life they were being forced to live including sexual, physical and mental abuse...how would they turn out? This is how children are "raised" in Scientology.
