My involvement with the Church of Scientology was from August of 1972 to December of 1977 when I routed off, per policy, of staff at the Church of Scientology of San Diego. I was also a member of the Sea OrgAbbreviation for Sea Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976)., having spent time on the DPF and RPFAbbreviation for 1. Rehabilitation Project Force. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). The Rehabilitation Project Force has been created by the Commodore so that redemption can occur.

What remains with me today, from my experience with Scientology, is the camaraderie of all the wonderful staff members that I have had the pleasure to serve or interact with. The work that I do for this site is dedicated to all those Scientologist's, (past, present, future, in or out), who I have been lucky enough to have known.

Now that I have finished Yvonne Gillham Jentzsch's bio I find myself with time to write about my own experiences in Scientology. I last practiced Scientology in 1977 and have lived in Oklahoma since 1978, far away from anything related to Scientology. I live and own a business in the 'county seat of our area. As such I count among my close friends the professionals from within and around this county; the doctors, the lawyers, the politicians, the bankers and others. I have accomplished many good things for my community and Oklahoma. I belong to many good organizations throughout the United States which has garnered for me many friends scattered far and wide. I only write this paragraph to make a statement that I am more than a label of being an ex-Scientologist or a kool-aid drinker.

What I want to accomplish here is a view of what it was like to be a staff member at a Class IVHubbard Advanced Auditor. (Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) Org during the 70's. There are volumes and volumes of stories about bad treatment at the hands of Scientology, of which I believe to be true. While we, at the Church of Scientology of San Diego, were not a Sea OrgAbbreviation for Sea Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).

If you care to read about a snapshot of the life of Scientology staff member here is my story.

My introduction to Scientology

In August, 1972, I was a naval student at the U.S. Navy’s Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare School in San Diego, California. On August 7, I was walking down Broadway when Maureen Turner approached me, handed me a handout, and asked if I wanted to take a personality test. As I had nothing better to do I followed this lovely lady to Carl Barney’s Scientology Coordinated Services mission at 1052 10th Avenue.
