I don't have much time tonight but I want to respond as best I can to those who replied to my comment about giving her a break...
Wendy has been doing her own thing for a long time. If I were a scientologist, I would call her a longtime squirrel. To my knowledge, she is not highly trained in scientology.. she's mixed practices.. she's kind of take whet she learned from different things and used them as she went along FOR MANY YEARS. she was a big FSM and VM.. that is her claim to fame in Scientology... Not as an auditor or staff member or PC. She been running her own consulting and coaching practice for many years and has been running an 'auditors guild' for a long time.. Not even sure it's still functioning since her leaving Scn. You can read about in this post... most of the people in it are Book 1 and assist auditors...

Not hardcore... more in line with the renegade old timers of Dianetics, if you ask me. They all just wanted to help people... using basic stuff. Didn't we all do that at some time in our early days of joining... do book sessions or asissts out of the books and got at least some satisfaction at the time?
Anyway, my point is that if you look at her pages and articles about her, links below, she's not all scientology. She's less about it and no longer claiming to be a Scn minister and that's a good thing. And the claims about her curing cancer? That is not what she states on her website. She essentially assists people in coping with it emotionally so they can be emotionally healthier to better their physical health. Yes,some people think a license is necessary for stuff like that but frankly, there are many many life coaches out there, it's a big business, and it includes helping people heal emotionally. I may not like it but it must be helping people because people are paying for it and not complaining about it on the internet that I can see.
I have no idea and I really don't care what it is she does as she has been doing this successfully for many years and there are NO complaints whatsoever to be found on the internet or news ( and I would have found them if they existed) And she is out of the organized cult. Doing her thing.. as she sees it. Ok, so it's got some 'tech' in it but Hubbard robbed much of it from others, including that tone scale ( according to posts I have seen with Matheson's trademark on an early one ) I am not against pointing out these things but just ragging on a person as a whole and not seeing the differences is kind of ignorant. Read her website, email her if you like, ask questions if you want to know. I saw some interesting stuff on her page.. I also saw no credentials on her LinkedIn or website.. so maybe someone should ask where she learned all this stuff. But do look and see what she's done and is doing. That she is out definitely hurts the church. She was a big opinion leader.

HERE'S the thing. depending on your outlook, Kate and Emmanuel Foundas are either two of the nuttiest and potentially most sinister people you will ever meet, or a charming, successful, savvy couple with a social conscience.
In Australia today very few, however, would allow them to be both once they learnt their religion. Yes, you guessed it, they are Scientologists.....[..]
[..] This has all fuelled the notion that the Church is nothing more than a wacko cult and a dangerous one at that; Tom Cruise has long ceased to be a public relations positive, and as for John Travolta, well, let’s just say it’s lucky he can dance (and fly Qantas planes).
But there’s no hint of any of this when I meet Wendy Honnor, an ordained Minister with the Church of Scientology and, frankly, maybe the best thing they have going for them in Australia at the moment. And maybe that’s why she has been chosen to do something the Australian Church has never agreed to before: allow a journalist to experience first-hand their controversial spiritual counselling. I am to be “audited” by Minister Honnor and she decides, after meeting me, I could also do with a little of their “suppression therapy” to help deal with some lingering health problems. In fact, that’s the area we decide to concentrate on in my sessions – my bung neck. I injured it 18 months ago while reporting on the Victorian bushfires and although I have since had successful surgery, it still gives me some grief. Anyway, it seems like the safest area of my life to expose to the Scientologists and the Australian public, because auditing is a deeply personal experience and I’m not about to lie down and offer up my childhood or my marriage. Yes, my neck will do just fine. ..[..]

YOU can talk to Scientologists for a long time without hearing them mention God. [..]
[..]All Scientology paraphernalia must be paid for. Adherents must enrol in courses costing a few hundred to thousands of dollars. Melvin, in the church for nine years, declined to say how much he had spent "because that can be misconstrued".
Another parishioner put forward by the church for this article, Wendy Honnor, estimates she has spent about $10,000 on "training" since joining in 1989.
As a patron of the International Association of Scientologists, she says she has donated $US50,000 to the church over the years.
Asked to describe her religion, Honnor, who works full-time for the church as an auditor, says "it is a body of knowledge".
"Ron Hubbard was a philosopher ... who researched all the great religions and great philosophies," she says.

Sorry so long but sometimes I get tired of not seeing enough of what someone is doing right in some comments on the forum. I want lurkers to see that we recognize progress... or at least are not hostile to others because they are still thinking with some scientology. It's taken me a long time to get rid of all the scientology in me and I'm still working on it.
