Maybe your family, being brainwashed, can't show you love...but we all love you! Your life is just starting and I wish you all good things! You are soooo great!!!!
I'm so impressed with how you built yourself up and got through everything. Thank you for sharing your story. It's not easy to talk about struggles or pain and I really respect you for being so honest and so strong. Best wishes to you!
Your story touched my heart so much. I am so sorry that you have had to go through all of this & I just pray for you that you will make a family of your own so you will be able to treat your family the way that you should have been treated your whole life. Everything that has happened to you is not fair -- and I am just so glad that you are free. God bless you
Dude your story really touched me. I can't begin to imagine what you have been through. but YOU WILL PREVAIL. You've got your whole life ahead of you. No one taught you how to be a good man, You had to overcome this horrible cult to understand the value of empathy, kindness, generosity and morality. but I can tell you the best men I have ever met in my life have come from similar origins. Don't even give your father the A second of thought..................
Hey 7Brett5, Yes I was deceived, but I was raised in Scientology starting from a very young age. It was all I knew. Sorry if I didn't make that clear, but I wasn't an adult when I was recruited for it. My involvement in the church ended when I became an adult and started to think for myself. My parents were adults when they joined the church and that resulted in my sister, brother and me all being raised as Scientologists. Thanks for watching.
I was in Scientology for 7 years. I am 23 now and I have been out for almost 5 years. I was a part of the Church and then I joined the SO for a while, then I left and joined the church again. I spoke out against them, on youtube but then I was fair gamed, horribly. Years have passed since then, but I lost a lot of friends and my experience with that cult have scarred me for life. I am so sorry that you had to going through all of this. If you ever want to exchange stories, feel free to write me.
Non cult members with the ability for rational thought think you did the right thing, are happy for your bright future, proud of your bravery, & hope you know you 100% did the right thing! Although the road must have been hard I sure hope it was be more then worth it! Would love to know how it has all worked out for you 8 years later.
I suffer from P.T.S.D., anxiety, and major depression myself. Please note: I've never been a member of the cult of scientology, but can understand the psychological/psychiatric problems associated with this illness. I am now on a disability pension, and thought suggesting this route could help you. It's difficult to prove, but with your medical history etc, it could be an avenue worth investigating. The disability pension doesn't pay much, but at least you can pay your rent, electricity, phone, internet etc, without the added stress of looking for work. P.T.S.D. is the most difficult thing to deal with as 'ordinary' life can easily set it off. It could cut out some of the stress of life, and maybe help you get better. I hope this information helps. Best of luck, and try to avoid stressful situations that can trigger the P.T.S.D. and underlying depression. P.S. L. Ron Hubbard was a pathological liar, a thief, a con man, a pedophile, a drug addict, a psychopath, a sociopath, a black magician, and has driven many insane through his ''methods." of madness, and dark satanical cult of scientology.
Seems like $cientology is collapsing, so hang in there Derek. Dont go back. I hope you will be re-united with your family one day. Stay brave, and *HUG*
You are amazing to have done this....out is possible that your parents have Narcissistic Personality Disorder anyway....please check this out online...there is a whole community of us out there who are separated from our families and who have had to accept that our parents doing and never have loved us... Many therapists are not experienced in this btw.... You have the added abuse of the church.... courage and good things to you...you deserve the best xxxxxx
"allowed" wow, it is amazing what one has to give up in order to follow a religion group. Best of luck to you I hope you can rediscover your life and get passed the organization. Take good care
Wow. I am sorry that this happened to you. I wonder whether you would enjoy working in the field of education, there are lots of grants available, croud sourcing might help fill gaps in housing costs, but as long as you share a house with older students ( a trick to avoid the party animals who eventually flunk out) you could potentially make the numbers work with only a simple part time job, many schools offer them along with grants and scholarships which don't need to be paid back. I really think that the climate is very favourable for schools and donors to want to help you financially.
Hey dog I dont know why u gotta be on my channel dissing me homie. I misspelled a word, I meant i was 18 and I am joining the sea org. My Dianetics/Scientology recruiter is recruiting me into the Sea Org next week. I soooo look forward to it. I plan to spend my entire life in Scientology. They already told me that I am going to start out on the RPF. I was just letting u know that I am gay I am a gay white male in my late teens. I am an interesting find.
.....I have subscribed to your account. I want to see you loose that wait and get onto the army ( I strongly suggest you look at the navy. You really do travel around the world and visit awesome places and meet so many people from all walks of life in there) one of the good things about Scientology is its has taught you discipline so apply it. start jogging a little more each day eat decent etc . I want to see progress. I will be watching...dont worry i'm not a Scientologist lol
Your videos are helping so people don't get sucked into Scientology.

BE BRAVE!!! You are a strong, beautiful person, with a wonderful courageous soul. Well done for being able to get yourself out, very proud of you.
This was incredibly moving. I hope your future is bright, you truly deserve it.
Your story brought me to tears. I would like to commend you for being so brave and sharing your story.
Huge hugs, Derek xxx

"There is no Love in scientology"
Not that this vid isn't powerful in itself, but I hope you can get AGP to create something that could go viral.
Hi. Hang in there. You are magnificent! You can do anything! I have faith in you! You have already done something amazing by leaving!
I hope your siblings don't get pulled into it like your parents did to you.
You are strong. Thanks for sharing. Have you thought of writing a book?
