My Scientology Education Experience
I'm sure that similar experiences have already been posted by others, but I don't see them. I thought I'd post this here since this seemed like the place. I saw that Barbara Walters praising Scientology's educational system. While I was never in any actual Scn school, I would like to share a relevant experience I had concerning Scientology's education since I'd been in Scn since I was 14.
My experiences: From the age of 16, I was actively pursued by recruiters to join the Sea Org (basically a glorified slave labour force that wears navy uniforms). Then, after graduating and turning 18, I was encouraged not to attend any colleges or universities. I was "encouraged" (more like scared sh*tless) to use the all the money that had been saved up for me to attend college for Scientology courses instead because I was told Scientology was "saving the world." And which is more valuable anyway? A useless education in a destroyed world (and off to ethics because I helped destroy it), or a world preserved from complete and utter destruction thanks to my "smaaall" donation? Needless to say, I dutifully handed over my money.
Contrary to Barbara Walters' comments, it doesn't sound like Scientology values education much...
