“Every sense of self identity is hammered out of anyone who works for scientology.”

So true. They said the opposite, of course. To get you to sign on, they’d say that being on staff GAVE one a life, that before being on staff they HAD no life. And to a certain degree that was true, because many of them married or became coupled off based on the logistics of being on staff. Staff married or partnered with other staff or with those willing and/or able to support them financially so they could be on staff. So to that degree it was true.

But from the beginning, what I observed was that married or single, Class V org staff had no lives apart from complete subjection to whatever might be needed and wanted at the org at any given time. I shared living space with single staff members, several of them, and I saw first hand with each of them what their lives were. When I had them as roommates, I’d pay a lot more and they’d pay a small portion of the rent, or nothing. They were never home and would get calls from the org or their seniors sometimes as late as 1AM, ordering them into the org, or for – whatever.

To recruit you, they’d call it freedom and power on all dynamics.

What I observed was slavery.

Of course, back then, I never SAID what I really thought to anyone. Oh, nooooo!

But over the years, I saw what I saw with staff and what their lives were really like, and seeing that up close kept me from ever signing on.

I did a search quick search which turns up that she’s got family in, including either her grandmother or someone else named after the grandmother, and seems to have a Facebook account with video of her playing the guitar. A couple of people seem to have jumped the gun with their assumptions.

Try googling “Erica Lennie Scientology” and see what you make of the results.

The distinctive guitar headstock is more a giveaway than the girl, imho.

Her video has all of 10 views. Probably all by readers of this blog!
