Ratings and reviews

So sorry you got sucked into the vortex of lies called Scientology. I hope your son finds Christ. That's his only chance. God bless and heal your broken heart.

To say the least. Im surprised he lived thru all this.. Im sure other ppl haven't been so lucky. . we just don't know about it!! DM seems like a rich Charles Manson. In a different era. But very similar.

This book held my attention. Informative. Confirmed my suspicion that Scientology is a cult not a religion!
