I write a lot of negative things about Scientology on my blog. Primarily because one of the major things that contributed to my exiting the cult was my pent up anger against injustices I experienced.
Being in Scientology is much like being in an abusive relationship. Except instead of it being one on one, it's more like you are in a abusive relationship with Scientology itself. There are some good things and some bad things which come out of your relationship. At least it seems like there are some good things. The entire cycle runs in ups and downs.
The only way out of such a relationship is to do what seems almost unnatural to all of us. You have to focus on the negatives of the relationship. When you are at one of many of the peaks, instead of looking up at the sky and thinking that things will get better, you focus on that valley and remind yourself that this is going to turn bad very quickly.
These are posts about my involvement in the church of Scientology. I was raised in Scientology from around age 6. I signed the infamous "billion-year contract" when I was 15. I was in the Sea Org from September 2001 through July 2004. I was kicked out for being gay just after my 18th birthday. Eventually I spoke out against the abuse I suffered while there and my family is now disconnected from me.
