We can only offer facts about scientology teachings and our opinions on them -- we don’t have firsthand information concerning the details of Kelly Preston or Benjamin Keough’s deaths, though, when it comes to scientology and scientologists, there are other factors that come into play - factors that are contained in the “scripture” of scientology that give a particularly dark tint to these terribly sad events.

Our Alaska trip had a big side benefit. Finally meeting @sarahjedmondson and @nippyames in person in Vancouver. After watching @TheVowHBO we connected and have been on each others’ podcasts. Survivors stick together!
