Scientology - The Sick Cult Imprisons Woman For Kissing Another Woman, Forcing Her To Drink Bleach To Escape

A former top Scientologist says she was forced to spend three years performing hard labor after she was caught kissing another woman.

Nora Crest worked as a life counselor at the Los Angeles Celebrity Center, where she mentored the children of celebrity Scientologists John Travolta and Tom Cruise before she was banished for her same-sex attraction, reported the Daily Mail.

Crest was a member of the hardcore Sea Org group of dedicated members who sign “billion-year” contracts tying them to the church — to which she was introduced as a young child by her active Scientologist parents, Kathy Thomas and Constantine Panfilous Sova.

Crest, now 39 and married to another ex-Scientologist, said she never went further than kissing — but church founder L. Ron Hubbard classified homosexuality as an illness and sexual perversion that must be cured.

So she was placed into the Rehabilitation Project Force in March 2000 and required to perform hard labor 80 hours a week at a West Los Angeles facility operated by the Church of Scientology.

But Crest said she attempted suicide after she was beaten in November 2002 by more than a dozen other Scientologists for laughing with another woman.

“I then went into a utility cupboard and saw a massive bottle of industrial strength bleach and so drank a hefty cap full, around the equivalent of a quarter cup,” Crest said. “I fell backwards, my whole body was convulsing, my throat started to swell. When they found me, they got a gallon of milk and put me in a room and made me drink it. ” Cont.
