![]() Clearly she did not have to sign that statement as she stated at the time she had no intention of abiding by it. "Had to sign a statement saying I would not publish" despite being out of the church with no apparent pressure on her, then published. Several statements after that did not add up to a cohesive picture. It all added up to the tagline ".and my harrowing escape." being a large stretch when in actuality it would appear she stayed of her own volition (by her own words) because she was comfortable, everything was provided for her and the world out there was scary (even if her own parents were out there waiting for her). This was given as the rationale for lying to someone else in the next breath. Things like "I had to tell him the truth otherwise I would be deceiving him". I was with the author all the way as the story is told in the first person right up to the last couple of chapters when her own credibility in her own words began to wane. Yes, as I was saying this book provides an excellent insight into the life of a young child growing up in the Church of Scientology. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Ridiculous question - did you listen to the book ? Which character – as performed by Sandy Rustin – was your favourite? What other book might you compare Beyond Belief to, and why? Would you listen to Beyond Belief again? Why? ![]() Incredible insight into life as a young scientolog ![]()
