I’m feeling forced to go do tests and courses at scientology
Hi,
I (18F) was born into a very big scientology family, and when I mean “big” I mean they’re top donors and have even donated so much money in my name which makes me a “top donor” as well. I’ve never been apart of it and I’ve only done a single course when I was about 9 years old before I really knew what it was about, but since then I’ve always tried to stay as far away from it as possible (which isn’t very far). But my grandparents have started pushing me to go to the church and do a bunch of things and at first I could come up with excuses for not going but they’re starting to get really worked up, telling me about the family they have “shunned” and I know if I tell them I want nothing to do with it they’re gonna want nothing to do with me. Which is really upsetting since my grandparents are good people outside of scientology and I don’t wanna lose my entire family since my father is no longer in my life as well as his side of the family, and I only know my mom would probably keep speaking to me but then my grandparents won’t wanna speak to her. So i’m scared. I’m not really sure what I wanted from posting this, I guess I just wanted to rant a bit… Anyways hopefully I can come up with more excuses without them cutting me off
