I had a friend who was pursued by Scientologists after she agreed to a sample audit - she had to leave the state to get away from their stalking her. I had another low level just joiner who thought it would help her in show business to be a member - didn't hurt Tom Cruise - did it? She was not the brightest light bulb in the box. They were bleeding her dry financially and she was always short of money. There is a lot of psychological pressure to belong, it must be much worse for people with their family being members as well.
