«"Mothers who have raised children in the
Church of Scientology and come out have a terrible sense of
guilt over what our children went through," Summers told the
Post. "They had children doing physical work, sometimes 40 to 60
hours a week. It could be anything - shoveling gravel, laying
carpet, but mostly it was clerical work," she said.
"I also worked in one of their schools, in Clearwater, Fla. Many
of the children don't do as well as they should academically.
"Teachers don't have college degrees. They are trained in
Scientology technology. They don't explain. They don't help. If
some child doesn't understand, it's because they don't
understand a particular word, so kids are constantly being told
to just look up a word." AFTER 20 years as a Scientologist,
Summers now works for the Lisa McPherson Trust, an organization
that actively opposes the Church of Scientology.»

«Teresa Summers, 47, who was a member for 20
years, said: "Mothers who have raised children
in the Church of Scientology and come out have a
terrible sense of guilt over what our children
went through.
"Teachers don't have college degrees. They are
trained in Scientology method. They don't
explain. They don't help." The sect runs a
network of private schools around the world,
including one in Britain, and members are
encouraged to enrol their children. [...]
«Teresa also says children are asked to spy on
each other and subjected to laborious
punishments. "It's called making amends," she
explained. "My daughter was made to scrub poles,
paint walls, report on her friends. I let her do
all that."» |
