  • SCIENTOLOGY SAVED MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE

    First off, let me just say that I am a Catholic. Born Catholic, raised Catholic, practiced Catholicism till this day... and always will. What I experienced 2 weeks ago has made me question (to a very great extent) why there is so much negativity surrounding Scientology. There is a great deal of negative publicity. Why? I now know the ...
