Reply to Just Say "No" to Scientology Letter from a reader Tormented by Scientology Altoetting, Germany

In response to the article "No to literature from Scientology in the library" of Saturday, December 9:

I went into Scientology in 1987, first in Wiesbaden, then Frankfurt, and finally I was forced to move to Hamburg.

I was prevailed upon to give up my children, my house, my job, my career, my friends, in short everything which had been worthwhile to me before Scientology. I let myself be pressured into giving all my money to Scientology and into borrowing very much money on my house. Altogether my losses came up to a total of about 500,000 marks.

In October 1994, I let myself be inducted to work in Goetz Brase's Scientology real estate company. They told me I would earn a lot of money so that I would be able to give Scientology even more money! But apparently a tiny part of my personality had been spared.

This tiny part helped me to get out. In Summer 1995 I refused Scientology - I didn't go back there anymore and did not let myself be coerced back by the approx. 15 people who were sent to get me back in the "Org." And I survived all the subsequent actions which are still going on to this day. I know what it means to be violated in body, mind and soul, to be tormented and humiliated. By writing this I am requesting that people be concerned about explaining Scientology. The Scientology psycho-company has mechanisms at its disposal which serve only to obtain power over people.
