Re: They should face charges - it is an evil and deceptive cult
they set up alanon and narcanon places right outside military bases to lure in those in the service. that is how my neighbor back home got hooked in. she was in the navy and happened across one of their places. she thinks l. ron hubbard is 3 galaxies over right now, and that he is saving the earth, and that he is the most powerful smartest person ever. he chose to shed his physical body. they took all her money and she lost her car. she has an original soup can machine (they call them), one of the first auditing machines he ever put out. you have to send it in every 2 yrs for it to be calibrated.
she gave them thousands and used to work for them in LA. they gave her room and board and $120 a month. that is why she lost her car. when she finally complained, they gave her credit toward l. ron tapes and recently she complained again and because she never heard from them about it and they sent her a CD player with a CD of l. ron. she thinks it was specially made by sony for l. ron. you can't tell her no different. every time you talk to her, she says scientology is on the verge of something big and that they are saving the world one nation at a time. i wonder if he is so powerful why he doesn't just save the planet himself. i'll have to ask her that. she gets mad though if people question it or make fun of l. ron in any way.
whenever she goes to "church" to be audited, they tell her it didn't work because she didn't get enough sleep or eat right beforehand. so, she has to go back. they really just humor her. they told her that she cannot be audited any more at portland because they are not advanced enough, that she now must go to the flagship org in florida. i also have an orginal scientology hand book she gave me that describes the different levels of supressives. she got into this in 1965. she also calls dr pepe, a scientologist dr in l.a. who charges her credit card a lot for a few minutes of counseling, although it is not usually pepe you get on the phone.
then, she orders worthless vitamins for expensive prices. they call them core vitamins. she says they know how to target each condition and no one else does. i have looked at these vitamins and they have amounts like 1.6mg of B6 and stuff like that, and only a few ingredients in each bottle. i think one-a-day is far better. she showed them to her doctor (which was the same one i had back home) and he said they are worthless to throw them out. he sells vitamins, but for the health of his patients, not profit like scientology. she says he doesn't know anything and is often very angry at him. i could go on and on.
