The church has good ideas and can be helpful. However, the church in Atlanta has an integrity problem. I was a member there for many years. I made a lot of donations to the church and purchased many services. Each member has an account with the church where they prepay for services they are planning to use.
I prepaid a lot of money for their counseling services but was unable to use it because the church of scientology of GA was unable, for five years, to deliver the services.
I’m now an unemployed single mom who really needs the money. I made the request to close out the account expecting to see the check in a week or so. No dice. The church has been stonewalling me and refusing to communicate with me at all for months. I made over 50 attempts to contact them to get this resolved. They refuse to return email or take calls. Their own policy written by L Ron Hubbard, says they will refund this money immediately. www.powerandreligion.com
Go there if you want and purchase services even, but never give them money in advance no matter how much pressure they put on.
