What is ScientologyAnonymous

Scientology Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from Scientology. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop practicing Scientology. There are no dues or fees for SA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. SA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution. Does not wish to engage in any struggle with the Church of Scientology or its supporters. By serving the needs of recovering Scientologists, SA hopes to serve the needs of all mankind. Our primary purpose is to stay free from the personality disintegration caused by reading or studying the works of L. Ron Hubbard, and help other Scientologists to achieve freedom from their dependence on Scientology.
