My name is Jeff Pomerantz. I am an actor and for many years I was a “regular” on an ABC show (One Life To Live). I am a Scientologist, a father, and a grandfather.
I am writing to you as the proud parent of three grown children. All of my children were raised in and with Scientology. All three of them on their own became Scientologists as teenagers.
My family came to this country to escape religious persecution, so I find it terribly distressing to hear that you are choosing to do a biased, one-sided piece on the Church of Scientology and Scientologists.
Respecting the religious beliefs of others is very important in this world. Not only that, but attacking one of the fastest growing religions which can prove with statistics and facts how it is bettering and improving lives, saving lives of those on drugs, is just wrong.
Going after our children is disgusting. You are setting up the children of Scientologists to be bullied in schools because others may not realize how one-sided and untrue your show is in its portrayal of Scientology.
This piece represents an open attack against a set of beliefs millions hold as true. I was happily and successfully brought up as a Scientologist and know many more have too.
