What/who encouraged you to become a scientologist in the first place?

[null and void]

I read Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health. Something (many somethings) in it just clicked for me.

I read the whole thing in one night, I knew several scientologists who had been in for years and never managed to get through it. ;^)

The thought of being free of unwanted hidden influences in my own mind was very attractive, and I thought it might give me an edge in life.
