Drug-free marshal program is really a recruiting ploy

The July 19 letter on the church-sponsored drug-free marshals was alarming.

This program is a devious ploy used by the Church of Scientology to recruit members. That they would target children with their phony drug program is disturbing and should be investigated by your paper and by the state's attorney office.

The Church of Scientology is widely regarded as a destructive and subversive cult. I can tell you from personal experience as a former Scientology member that this cult is devious and has many front groups that are used to recruit new members. Scientology has another front group called Narconon, which it promotes as a drug rehabilitation program. The truth is that this is another deceptive recruiting ploy.

Susan Strozewski, who is named as the regional director, is a Scientologist, and the address she gives in Chicago is the address of the Church of Scientology. The regional essay and poster contest the church is sponsoring is a ploy to get the names and addresses of the kids parents who will be subjected to a barrage of recruiting literature from the Church of Scientology.

The Times owes it to readers to alert them to the true nature of this phony drug-free marshal program.
