I guess you have missed my posts havn't you? >Why are you all carrying so many grudges? have a grudge against Scientology is wrong. And most ex's have a right to have a grudge. If Scientology were up front about ALL of their beliefs I would have never joined. I am here to make sure that anyone who wants inquires about Scientology beliefs will get the full story.
