At that point, I had a foot in and a foot out.
I was like looking at all the blogs.
I was looking at anonymous, but I was trying to hold on to my friends and my family because I know if I say that I have doubts, if I say I'm against it, that I'm going to lose everyone I've ever known.
So you find this like middle ground.
where you're part of it, but you're not part of it.
So I'm all over these anti-Scientology sites.

And Bella, who doesn't even know me, starts telling me about how her mother, Nicole Kidman, who she hasn't seen in 10 years, is a suppressive person.
And that the church, we're calling it a church.
I don't want to insult.
Sometimes I say I don't call it a cult because I don't want to insult cults.
