I was in Scientology 1953 to '65. These are Scientology related deaths I know about.
FRANK TURNBULL: Frank was the founder and director of early Scientology. He worked it up from nothing to a small field concern, to a busy HASI. One day a fellow on a Sea-Org. mission arrived and stripped Frank of this position and career, which had been his life. Prievously, Frank had criticised the cruel treatment his wife got on the St. Hill course. Soon after, he suffered a heart attack and a friend on mine spent took hours of auditing to pull him through it. Shortly thereafter, he had another massive attack and died. A case of enforced failed purpose! Thus the CoS rewards those of us who worked to create it in its beginings!
ROBERT ALPE: Bob was quite well off and spent a small fortune on on-going processing. He once confided in me, "Being processed is absolute torture!" About 1965 (not certain of date) he was declared the first *Clear* in New Zealand. Long before the days of Peter Williams (Aust.) or John McMasters! A week later,after the celebrations, he disappeared. Eventually, they found him in a beach cottage where he had lived in an intoxicated state for 10 days. Probably trying to drink himself to death. They cleaned him up and gave him more processing and re-declared him *clear*. Soon after he died; apparently of "unknown causes"!
GRACE, his wife was broken-hearted. She died soon after him!
Both in mid-forties!
LLOYD SPEEDY: was sent from NZ to Sydney for 'Advanced Processing' because of some trouble that had arisen here. After his expensive processing, he was so confused and spinny that a friend had to go to Sydney to 'baby-watch' him home. He couldn't confront going to his family. He asked many scns. for temp. accomadation but none would touch him, as he might be SP.
Friends of mine took him in but a few days later, he slashed his wrists, all over their sitting-room carpet!
ED. STRATEN came back from St.Hill and starting punishing his family for imagined overts and dancing in church. Today, nearly 30 years later, he is still in and out of psychiatic hospitals When I came back from St Hill, instead of using the world-class auditing skills, I paid to acquire, I sat by a fire and held my stomach, for months. Every day, I suffered mentally and emotionally. I knew if I went out I would be locked up for beating up little old ladies or something! It took me 2 years to recover from my St. Hill processing. (Best in the world at that time!!) These I know of, just in a decade or so, in our small country but I have cut contact with scientologists over the last 30 years.
I would like to know and see it made public, how many others have scraficed their lives on the alter of the Goddless "Church!"
Eric.
