Church of Scientology uses Children to Fight Their Cause

[WrongPlaceRightTime]

many memories comming back to me. I remember being less than 6 years old and picketing a children's psych ward. we were holding signs and wearing black paper chains with black balloons on the end attached to our ankles as if we were wearing a ball and chain. I remember being sooo excited to be out doing something different. This is funny to me beacause we were just doing what we were told, as children, we couldn't have possibly understood what we were doing, I know I didn't...

At the age of 12 I went to Portland to fight that battle (1985, Christoffersson case) with a 5 year old girl and tons and tons of other Scientologists. No parent. No guardian.

I was there for a month.

I had no idea what the Church of Scientology was. But I was fighting for their cause.

Because it was all I knew.

:bighug: bea, I read your story and I am sending you big love over there. My father went to Portland too.

yeah just like any child raised in any culture, you buy into it until you have a mind of your own. IF you ever get one...
