The name &#039;Ann Singer&#039; was also phony. Are there any photographs of her? I had a family member very close to the inner circle at the time. Just curious...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This article about hypnotism in Scientology was very eye-opening. When my husband and I stopped participating, it was in large part due to the bizarre behavior of Scientologists who obviously were in a hypnotic trance - there were just such annoying people, but we couldn&#039;t understand why. This was not everyone in Scientology. Only, I&#039;d say 5-10% of the people i met. I think it wears off, too, but by then the person has probably gone OT and a new set of problems!

I looked up everyone I could remember that I did auditor training with. Most, like almost everyone who does Scientology, quit for one reason or another, and never did anything else in the cult. It was hard to keep going because the staff are so mean and difficult.

Only two people I studied with continued on to OT7 and OT8. Amazingly, these two I briefly audited on simple grades stuff while a student, and are THE ONLY TWO people I ever saw exhibiting the eye-closing, eye-fluttering stuff Jon Atack describes here. 


There you go! It takes being hypnotized to keep going in Scientology, because it really is so stupid.]]></description>

Yes it is very unhealthy. When it comes to religion or faith a person must feel free to at least discuss it or think critically about it. I believe that is the only way to grow if you are into any spirituality. If a person&#039;s very core belief system encourages you not to speak freely or think critically, that system really isnt there for the faithful&#039;s benefit, in my opinon. Religion requires faith amd it is very telling when even the religion distrusts the faith of their fellow flock to the point of sec checks, harrassment, or disconnection.

Keep on keeping on Wendy. In the end the only one you really need approval from is yourself. Who knows your mind and soul better then yourself? People are capable of extraordinary things, but to avoid being in a belief system where your development isnt arrested or reduced to party lines is the real test of any faith. Good luck! Dont let us scare you away either. Keep reading and researching for yourself and form your own opinon!]]></description>

Exactly Bella!  I was thinking about this when I responded to you....we had to be quiet about being in Corp Sci when in public (at least all the artists I know) and it makes you feel split...like you can&#039;t really be &quot;in&quot; life.  Like you are always having to hold something back and be careful.  I still feel that way a bit, cuz I&#039;m not out officially....it&#039;s horrid.  And unhealthy....]]></description>
