So, yes, Scientology is evil and I have experienced it first hand.
I had these friends, a couple, whom I had been working with for some months and we developed a nice friendship. I really enjoyed hanging out and working with them. Then, about two weeks ago, we were working way out in Lake Arrowhead, and when we went to have lunch, I learned that they are Scientologists.
At first I thought they were pulling my leg. I honestly did, but they weren't. So he, my real friend of the two, wanted to talk about it with me. He wanted to debate on Scientology, explain to me how LRH magically unlocked the secrets of the universe and life. Give me a fucking break.
So we talked about it for about an hour or so, and since neither of us had any source material to back up our statements we decided to keep the debate going later on. So a couple of nights later, I gathered some info, various site links and a ton of Scientology's internal documents that had been leaked by Anonymous (the hacker group) and send them to him with a note I wrote explaining how there really wasn't a point in debating but if he really wanted to learn about his religion he should read those documents.
I haven't heard from him since.
I sent him another email asking if we were OK, sent him a cell phone text message and even called him but never got a response, positive or negative. I was just totally ignored.
The funny thing is how he had preached to me that the best thing about Scientology, the main thing they teach people there is of the importance of communication. Well...? WTF happened then? After three years he's been in the "Church" of Scientology he has still not learned that principal, that which he preached to me? Or is it that it only applies when communicating to another Scientologist? What about forgiveness? Do they not teach forgiveness in Scientology?
I mean HE WANTED TO DEBATE ON IT, and so I did turn in my argument and after that he never wanted to speak or write to me ever again.
I lost a friend because of Scientology.
But I gained another one today, and a friendship I know will last because he's NOT a Scientologist.
