85 year old mans view on cult
« on: March 09, 2010, 08:39 »
 Appears more than just activists are aware of the abuses of scientology. @ 7:20 a.m this morning, my elderly father called me. He had just watched a ex-scientologist speak on NBC.

 Though vaguely aware of scientology, my father did not know of the many abuses talked about on the program. What hit him was the wage abuse and need to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for this so-called enlightenment.

 He too wonders why our federal government has not stepped in on this issue.

That is the young lady quoted in the NYT article, I believe.

She is brave to speak out about the abuses.
