No Wearing Skechers in Protest for Advertising Support of A&E Hate

Leah Remini’s programs on Scientology are designed to create a false picture of Scientology, its organizations, and its leaders. This is why I can no longer consume, purchase, or support those companies that sponsor this show and I call on them to fully withdraw their sponsorship of the show.

This is a letter of protest but also a call to action.

It concerns the A&E TV series about Scientology, done by former Scientologist Leah Remini, now in its second season. My protest is that Remini’s program flies directly in the face of what I know to be true of Scientology after my 46 years of continuous and active membership in the Church.

My life in many areas is better due my involvement with Scientology. In 1971, my Scientology auditor, our term for a spiritual counselor, helped me to become free from a crippling drug habit that had lasted years. Scientology counseling and study increased my abilities, and today I can look back at many years of success in business management. My wife and I recently celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary and we also enjoy life as grandparents.

Sincerely,
