Or is your story that you never were a Scientologist in the first
place and share that with Gerry Armstrong, Jesse Prince and the other
Scientology infiltrators?
I personally believe that any religions had and has their
infiltrators. Religion was and still is a major problem in the eyes of
anti-religious psychs and the likes because truly religious people
have a conscience, that others ususally don't have.
It could very well be that socalled apostates from the past were
nothing but infiltrators, sent in by organized crime to make a
religion to less than a religion.

Apostates and New Religious Movements
By Professor Bryan R. Wilson
In recent decades, given the emergence of so many new religious bodies
which make strong demands on the loyalty of their members, instances
of apostasy have become matters of considerable attention for the mass
media. The apostate's story, in which he is usually presented as a
victim, is seen as good news-copy for the media, particularly if he
offers to "reveal" aspects, and perhaps secrets, of the movement to
which he formerly belonged. In consequence, apostates receive perhaps
an unwarranted amount of media attention, particularly when they are
able to present their previous allegiance in terms both of their own
vulnerability and the manipulation, deception, or coercion exercised
by the leaders and members of the movement into which they were
recruited. Because these accounts are often the only information
normally available to the general public about minority religions, and
certainly the most widely disseminated information, the apostate
becomes a central figure in the formation (or misformation) of opinion
in the public domain concerning these movements.
