“I was just there at the right time, maybe saying the right things,” Andreas says."

Every $cieno ex has had some realization that things in the Clampire were not right. Be it by being beaten down too many times or seeing the same happen too many times to others or just seeing the scam for what it is, almost every $cieno eventually goes UTR or publicly escapes.

That is why saying the right things at the right times is so important. And being civil is never 'out of order'.

God bless Andreas and all who loved him.

Many thanks to Andreas. I did not know him. I benefited from him greatly. Tory and I have been friends for years, long before she left Scientology. Once she left she was now my enemy, until I left the cult.

Andreas was a courageous pioneer. He leaves this earth a better place because of his efforts.

Thank you Tony for posting this past article. This story is an inspiration for us to continue to expose the crimes of Hubbards bogus religion.

My condolences to Andreas's friends and loved ones. And my heart goes out to every ex-Sci who Andreas's work may have been part of their journey out of that cult. Thank you Andreas Heldal-Lund.

Beautifully written article Tony!

How wise and gentle Andreas was. RIP.

I'd like to communicate with Tory. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

I’ve read this article before but needed to read it again, thanks for republishing it. Ending it with that photo of Andreas was a gut punch. He affected so many lives with his compassion. A true gentle giant.

My condolences to the family and friends of that great person.

It does not seem unreasonable that he would propose the existence of the devil.

The Church of Satan, founded in 1966, does not accept the 10 Judeo-Christian commandments, nor the golden rule. As I have been able to learn, unlike the previous traditional satanists, who had that entity as a deity, the modern Church cited (1966) does not believe in that entity, etc., but only symbolically.

The point is that the famous 'Ten Commandments' are mostly unfulfilled by a notable part of the world's population, thus losing their ethical value, and normalizing the transgression of those ancient moral guidelines.

From that religious point of view, today's society largely agrees, without knowing it, with the satanic principles, with which perhaps the leadership of other sects share, but it would not be so profitable,

although they tacitly agree with the official satanists.
