					<description><![CDATA[In recent days, I&#039;ve binge watched all of Leah Remini&#039;s new A&#038;E series. It&#039;s been shocking to see whats been happening in and around Scientology. The Catholic priests and their boy toys seem like a side dish compared to the Scientology&#039;s buffet of widespread abuse. To learn that this organization uses law enforcement, courts and governments to assist with their application of hatred is the most difficult to accept.

Like many, I knew very little about Scientology. I remember the old TV ads for the book, later I learned it was a religious book. I was in Silicon Valley when the church was forced out before it even opened. 

Much like Clearwater is to Scientology, I now live in the epicenter of CBN/ 700 Club&#039;s world. So I&#039;ve meet hundreds who have gone on missions around the world. When you read about a disaster anywhere, its a good chance that someone here is on their way.  I&#039;ve meet Pat Robertson (I&#039;m sure he is taller than David Misgavage.) You learn to expect that a church does charity work. 

I hope and pray that the Church of Scientology is finally taken to task for taking in so many wonderful people, taking advantage and destroying their lives.]]></description>

It&#039;s kind of terrifying. I&#039;m pretty sure I don&#039;t want to get that old having watched my father, aunts and mother pass the 90 mark. My mom is in relatively good health (as were the others), but even then, it&#039;s really not easy. Well, I&#039;m only 57 now, so, who knows how I&#039;ll feel then. My dad always used to say, he didn&#039;t want to live as long as his father did, but he fought to stay alive until the very end.]]></description>

Aaron, I only just got around to watching the episode last night. OMG. I cried and cried. My heart broke, shattered for you and your mother. Thank you for having the courage to tell your story.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Aaron, wow! My husband and I cried when we saw your episode last night. I cannot even imagine! While I don&#039;t know the circumstances surrounding your brother&#039;s passing, but we both wonder if the church had something to do with the accident. Wishing you peace and happiness!]]></description>

My parents had one of those lifetime memberships in my name (I was around 7-9 are the time) for a high-rise hotel they were building that never got completed because of the scandal.  We got like $5 (not even kidding) from some settlement.  I spent every summer of my childhood at Heritage USA / PTL.  I won&#039;t deny that there was a lot of fund had there - a waterpark, train rides, and it was safe enough that my parents let us go off on our own quite a bit.  But, I definitely still have some anger and bitterness towards that entire mess.  And especially Bakker when I see the BS that he&#039;s still spewing on tv these days.]]></description>
