I first encountered Scientology in 1974 in Montreal, Canada. I was 19 at the time.

     The people were friendly, cheerful and having fun helping me have fun. This impressed me because I had too often been around people who had their fun at the expense of others.

     I felt the Scientology “game” was to see me succeed. It was overtly obvious and a breath of fresh air. So I enrolled in the Communication Course and within hours started to experience real help.

     I walked outside onto a busy downtown street, after my first evening on course and was surprised to see how much the world had changed. People and the city itself seemed friendlier. But they hadn’t changed, I had.
