Hi. I recently ran into an old soccer coach. He raised a big family in our neighborhood. One of his sons was my age and we were very good friends but I had not seen him since early 1990s.
I asked him about "Andy", he just said general things. Andy, who was always quite smart, had become a lawyer (I knew that).
I got a call from the coach today, he researched my phone number somehow. He said when Andy moved out of state to get his JD, he was fine at first but somehow changed and eventually decided to stop all communication with his entire family. Nobody knows why. Coach said it's been 12 years, absolutely zero contact. I asked him if Andy had joined a cult or religion. He said he did not know of any such religion that encouraged stopping all contact with family.
I said I'd try to make contact with Andy and get back to him, to let him know if Andy was ok.
Then I started thinking about Scientology.
Is it likely that if Andy became a Scientologist, he would stop all communication with his family? I was just wondering. Sorry if this is off topic from the main purpose of the forum.
