I had a best friend who I also dated on and off who was a
Hard core scientology in los Angeles. We kept trying to
Make a relationship work but it never did because I wouldn't
Study scientology. He's living with a girl now who is a scientology and
I don't really know him anymore. We were very close for 10
Years. I think I invested too much of myself for too long and I'm sad for
The loss. Although when I look back I think I suffered some
Emotional abuse from him that came from his intense belief
System. With the recession, my business started to fail
And since I was no longer successful he seemed to be suspicious of me.
Always asking me if I had done anything that I was keeping a secret.
I honestly couldn't think of anything,but he always pressed
For more information. Since I wouldn't go to the cos he
Would say things that were belitteling and a put down ,like
The nick names he called me. We weren't a couple for most of our
Friendship, but I would feel imense guilt if I went to see a movie
With someone. Eventhough he was always at the org and we weren't
In a committed relationship. He blamed me for things not
Working out. Honestly, I came from an alcoholic family and scientology
Reminds me very much of other addictive behaviour I've seen.
It was very familiar to me. Let me also say that the people over there
Were not friendly to me once it was clear I wasn't joining.
It was all a nightmare and although I'm glad its over, I am sad
That this cult has taken him and I allowed myself to list all that time
Feeling guilty and thinking I was a bad person for not wanting to go there.
For a long time people were not speaking out and I didn't know why
But it just felt wrong but there were no stories to back up my feelings.
You people who have gotten up the courage are so so brave. Sorry for
The long story. I will stop now. Thanks for listening.

Sounds like your friend was using the terrible 'tech' in his actions and decision making about you, and making it a 'become a scientologist or else' without saying so directly. Becoming a scientologist requires one to stop thinking with ones heart. It's a terrible thing. I know. I did it myself.
