I know you told your story along time ago, but I am just watching it today. I am a never in, but have really gone down the rabbit hole with Scientology. I feel most sorry for the kids such as yourself. You didn’t have a choice. Your childhood was stolen and scarred. Hopefully, you are living a free happy life today. Thank you for telling your story. Hugs and love from Canada 🇨🇦
The ability of these people to treat a human being like a thing to be used for their only benefit never ceases to amaze me, get a dog and really learn the definition of 'family'!!
Derek, I know it's hard to erase the hateful things other people, especially your parents, say to you.Just remember to love yourself and stay true to who you are and things will get better. Wish I could give you a hug.
Wow thanks for being so open with your experience, ok I am watching these vids 2 yrs. after you made them, hope things got better with you and your family..thanks for the info, maybe save someone else from getting in their web of lies and being miss treated.
Your friends are blessed to have you in their lives, as much as you are blessed to have them. I admire your courage and your strength. It's so important that you share your story the way you have, but it can't be easy. Stay strong, and keep moving on! :-)
Even before you said it, I was thinking that all of the trauma you experienced would have caused PTSD. You have a lot of inner strength and wisdom. I hope that you have access to an understanding therapist. Some of us recovering catholics have tales to tell--lots of cult aspects to that church as well as some of the more fundamental sects. You are helping a lot of people with your story and it's therapeutic for you. Believe all of these positive comments and ignore the others. Peace...
Derek, it has been my experience that when someone mocks you for something you did, they are most likely guilty of the same offense. They mock/make fun of/ belittle you to take the spot light off themselves. I have always been a firm believer in "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."!!! It's a CRYING shame that it was your dad in your case. Parents are supposed to protect you and build you up.....not the opposite......smh!!
Thanks Derek for sharing. There is so much sadness I feel. I just wanted to tell you that it was wrong what Scientology and your parents did to you. They had no right to do this. I wish you all the strength to overcome all this injustice and thrive.
Great video! You're very brave for standing up to this cult. Keep fighting the good fight. I just subscribed to your page and I look forward to hearing more of your story.
This is a great story and I'd love to hear more. Would you could consider making a series of short vids, say 5-10 minutes each, that focus narrowly on just one event at a time?
Thank you for telling your story. You deserve much, much better than what you got from your parents and from Scientology. I hope you are doing okay today.
I hope this finds you doing better. Please know that no matter what happened. You escaped a very abusive situation and at a young age, you did it with determination, taking many risks and you did it mostly on your own. You are a strong, strong, caring person. You should be proud of yourself that without support you took risks to do the right thing for yourself. I would be proud to call you a son. Be kind to yourself, please seek appropriate counseling as you can, as it will help you to put the pain where it belongs and not on yourself.
Your parent should be ashamed of themselves but cannot be because they are so into it and brainwashed so try to forgive but not go back for more. Don't go near anyone who brings you further down. You need to spend as much time getting out of scientology as you were in and that is why it is slow. Nothing wrong with being gay. I have to say you are right in spending your energy reaching out to your siblings as you get stronger, you might surprise yourself. I have 8 kids raised without religion and they are good people. I cannot imagine ever not being supportive it was my destiny to take very good care of them but then I did avoid all cults, religions, groups, etc. You will find your way. Surround yourself with love.You are good and brave.
There is NOTHING wrong with YOU - the CULT is WRONG in so MANY topics and it's great you can now be YOURSELF and you are no longer being STUNTED in your emotional, mental and spiritual growth!
1. I feel you bro. 2. The real tragedy of Scientology, from what I've seen, is how it splits up families. 3. Working you that long, at that age, under those conditions, for that little amount of pay seems to me a basic violation of your rights as a worker. And they wonder why we have unions.
don´t stop speaking out. I hope your experience will open the eyes of Scientologist who are still inside to finde the power to escape from this evil cult. Greetings from your Berlin friends
One of the few things niacin affects is kidney function which is why narconon-con is so dangerous! If you are a substance abuser then kidneys are already compromised and large doses of niacin can and HAS caused kidney failure!
PS, by the way,please try to get hold of a (device that has) better microphone to record your voice. The one you used here skips out on a lot of the higher frequencies & causing a lack of treble in playback & making it a bit hard to follow your story, it is harder to hear you than it should
After hearing this.. I'm still like, so where is the religious part of this said religion? It sounds horrible. It's like slavery, depravation and they use your loved ones against you. We don't know each other but I'm happy you're out of that place. Stay safe!
I am sorry for the abuses you suffered at the hands of this sick criminal cult. Ethics is a misunderstood word in $cientology. I hope your $cientology family wakes up. You are a wonderful person.
Kudos (is that a good term, or does it get sported by corrupt cops alone?) or Congrats amyway for being such a sane being after all that mistreatment! It aint nothing, 2 be treated like dirt, and for such a long time, and, basically being surrounded by totally whacked fruitcakes all that time man!

You Derek are an amazing soul!
Sending love all the way from Australia. X

Scientology brings families together and teaches them to be good law abiding citizens
You are an amazing person, life has so much to offer. This "church" is so scary. Keep posting!

Thanks Derek; you're good - it's a powerful testimonial. I do hope you get a chance to see your family again but I'm pleased you have another family.
Your friends are blessed to have you in their lives, as much as you are blessed to have them. I admire your courage and your strength. It's so important that you share your story the way you have, but it can't be easy. Stay strong, and keep moving on! :-)

I am so sorry you had to deal the entire scientology shake down. I hope you find joy everyday of your life. Thank you for telling your story.
Any parent with any sense would be proud to have you as a son.
Thanks Derek for sharing. There is so much sadness I feel. I just wanted to tell you that it was wrong what Scientology and your parents did to you. They had no right to do this. I wish you all the strength to overcome all this injustice and thrive.
I'm sorry you went through all that.. But I'm really glad that you got out and that you seem to be doing well now. Good luck, man.
Good luck to you Derek. I'm very happy you made it out. smh This sounds really crazy to me. I can't believe it.
Great video! You're very brave for standing up to this cult. Keep fighting the good fight. I just subscribed to your page and I look forward to hearing more of your story.
Thanks for sharing your story, I wish you the best.

Found your channel by chance it's crazy what you've been through. I hope you're doing well though.
You sir, are a champion.
Love you Derek! XoXo
You seem like a really beautiful person @Derek.
Great job Derek!

SCIENTOLOGY is about helping people.
After hearing this.. I'm still like, so where is the religious part of this said religion? It sounds horrible. It's like slavery, depravation and they use your loved ones against you.
We don't know each other but I'm happy you're out of that place. Stay safe!
Thankfully most are not scientologyst's. Good luck with your new life.New starts can be very exciting
Thank you for telling your story
Its BS u were subjected to the horrible abuse from this so called "church" at such a young age.. My heart goes out to u...
I am sorry for the abuses you suffered at the hands of this sick criminal cult. Ethics is a misunderstood word in $cientology. I hope your $cientology family wakes up. You are a wonderful person.
