My girlfriend is a scientologist.... I'm not...
#13
RE: My girlfriend is a scientologist.... I'm not...
Please research PTS (Potential Trouble Source) and Disconnection! There are several places on the internet run by former Scientologists that provide information.

http://exscientologykids.com/disconnection/

Scientology has a documented track record of wrecking families, mostly through absolute ostracization of those leaving the church. Be careful with your liberal views regarding religion here. Scientology is not your run of the mill collection of people with similar unsubstantiated weird beliefs; it is a cult with programs designed to control its members' behavior. Those that do escape are often traumatized by the family upheaval; meaning even if your girlfriend were to give up how serious she considers the teachings and practices of Scientology, she may never fully detach due to the prospect of losing familial ties.

I wish you luck, but I fear someone is going to get hurt. Don't think for a second that these lunatics will abide by some future child non-indoctrination agreement. Cults don't work like that. Keep in mind that after two years, chances are pretty high that your girlfriend is having similar conversations about bringing you into the fold. Better level with her quick and assess exactly what you're dealing with.
