Thank you Val for your story exposing the psychotic activities hidden from view from clueless cult members like me. In tha late seventies I was deeply involved in Scientology and I was considered a celebrity musician. I did not knows that all this secret illegal stuff was going on. Nor the fact that an alcoholic wife abuser could be protected because he was a full time student.

The true results of Scientology are the exact opposite of what Hubbard stated as his goal. “It’s a world of insanity, lies and gaslighting.” Val’s story is a testament to that.

If anyone was wondering how Masterson got away with rape, now you know. It’s built into the DNA of Scientology that abusing women is allowed and that it is always the woman’s fault the man acts that way.

Is it wrong of me to want to hunt down 'Mark' and kick his ass? Val, your writing is wonderful and your take on the world of $cientology headquarters is wonderful. The Clampire is guilty of enabling a wife beating scumbag. I wonder if Valerie is eligible for some sort of sex based lawsuit? Given all she has said in her writings, I doubt that she would start any lawsuit. Moving on is a great way to disrespect Miscavige and his Empire of the Clams.

Dearest Val, I feel greatful you are no longer in Scientology and sharing your life stories. It breaks my heart you were blamed for Mark's behavior and the deviant policies of LRH. Unconscionable, if you ask me. Please keep writing and healing. I love you. 💜

Excellent article, Val. These stories are what is making a difference in the way the world sees this corrupt organization and, I believe, it will suffer the same fate as other abusive cults and people. Thanks for sharing this with us and so glad you are out and living your best life.

Valerie Ross is a true survivor. I was involved in Scientology in Toronto from 1981 to 1988. To this day I'm kicking myself for being involved for 7 years. I should have realized within the first year when it was time to leave. In regard to the winter season in Toronto, I always say that the only thing I like about winter is when it ends. Similarly, the only thing I'll celebrate about the cult of Scientology is its demise.
