“Then the last item on the checklist: shoes and socks. I was petrified as I looked down, because if you have white socks on, you’re dead to me. Dead to me. There’s no fixing you. You’re beyond help.

“I was more than aware of the Fair Game policy, which stipulates that anyone against Scientology “may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist.

The church has stated that this policy was canceled, but there is an exception: “If the person is an SP, this applies.”

“If Scientologists are happy in the church, I say God bless. Honestly, it’s probably better for them to keep getting jerked off in the church, because they will never experience that kind of validation in the real world.”
