Hello, my name is Jeremy Perkins, and here is a little bit about myself: I am 23 years old and I have been in Scientology all my life. I work for my parents, who are both Scientologists. I also play the drums. If it weren't for my parents being Scientologists and them showing me the way, I would have gotten into a lot more trouble than I have. Scientology works. I am presently on a course where I use an E-Meter which is quite fun and I will audit with it soon.

Success:

Scientology has helped me be more in control of my life. It has made me aware of what is going on in my environment. Scientology has also shown me what lies ahead for the future.

His mom [Elli Perkins] had completed the PTS/SP course at Flag 6 months prior to being stabbed to death.

I don't have the completion data for the Buffalo Org but I do have some of the services they did at Flag and the Freewinds
