14. I don;'t know if she quit scientology, I just never saw her again

because she got evicted. I was not going to take her in, she asked but I said no.

now my friend from Boston was talked into going to an audit by a co-worker in the late 60's. the audit left her disgusted, she felt they were personally insulting her and tearing her down and she saw no need to submit to anymore of that abusive behavior, she tried to leave n the middle, but was actually restrained. So she told them thanks but no thanks. and left for home. after that she was followed in the street, they called her at home all hours and they pestered her at work until she felt so threatened, she got a job in NYC and we met, she left no forwarding address, she left a job she loved, she left a boyfriend, she just had to get away.
It worked just fine. they never found her again.

The Scientology definition of 'blackmail' is somewhat at odds with mine. fleur-de-lisa Apr 2015 #1
