TIGER WEEKLY
By Kelley Cox
There is a national media storm surrounding the Church of Scientology. Celebrity members have said Scientology saved their lives. Celebrity ex-member Jason Beghe spoke out against Scientology in a series of YouTube videos. There has been widespread criticism and debate among Scientology proponents and adversaries.
Tiger Weekly’s own Web site was submerged in one such debate in response to an article published April 23, “I visited the Scientology Center of Baton Rouge … and lived to write about it.”
Local ex-Scientologist Rhett Westerman recently shared his opinions and experiences with Scientology with Tiger Weekly. Westerman said he grew up in the Church of Scientology.
“My parents were involved [with Scientology] when I was little,” he said.
Westerman added that he was a Scientologist his “whole life, up until a few years ago.”
