Did you see Scientology as part of your spiritual growth?
Yes. Still do as it is now part of my journey. I hesitate to say that because I know you are going to leap on it, but I mean no more than it is a stepping stone to where I am now, as being an abused child of a drunken parent would be part of an adult's experience, nothing more.
If so, what takes its place now?
If you had bothered to read any of the link I posted way at the beginning of this thread you'd know that I am in that uncomfortable place between belief systems.
I note that you seem to be unwilling to disclose anything about your own belief system, If I may ask, what is your faith?
Did you see Scientology as a way to gain personal power?
No. I saw it as a way to be a better engineer. (Do I look like a frickin' people person???)
If so, what replaces that now?
A long career in engineering, followed by turning 50 and becoming unemployable...
Was Scientology a way for you to be of help others?
Yes.
If so, what replaces that now?
FR.
