[edit] Tory's Introduction
Hi........My name is Tory Christman, and I was in Scientology for 30 Y E A R S. In July of 2000, I finally woke up, thanks to my friend who runs www.xenu.net and his help, and I left, forever.
If you'd like to know more about Scientology, my suggestion, having done almost all of it is this:
Read various web sites and make up your own mind.
Here are a few to get you started:
XenuTV - Videos, sounds, and other media
Alt Religion Scientology list of Scientology related links

[edit] Writing to L. Ron Hubbard
- Christman wrote to L. Ron Hubbard, who replied that she was not a Freeloader, and should only pay for two courses. Hubbard told Christman to "continue to get auditing in their organizations" and insinuated she needed to handle her Epilepsy before she could return to the Sea Org. Hubbard told Christman he would see her "up the lines," meaning back in the Sea Org, once she had handled her physical condition.
Isn't it true that someone else took care of Hubbard's correspondance of this kind with scientologists? I'm not sure who, if it was HCO or whoever, but it might be worth mentioning, unless someone can prove that the responses actually came from Hubbard himself. (Entheta 23:46, 15 December 2005 (UTC)) I spoke with Laurel Sullivan, who was L.Ron Hubbard's personal PR, and she told me that yes, others answered all of his communications. However, I have a feeling he probably told someone what to write, as it was opposite of what all others were saying, and he was the only person who could do that, as far as I know. Either way, it certainly helped me.
[edit] South Park Short on the 2000 MTV Movie Awards
In the sited article Sympathy For The Devil it mentions that one of Tory's last jobs for the OSA was to get MTV to either edit or remove the South Park Short that made fun out of Battlefield Earth but the wikiarticle doesn't mention it at all. Should we include this information? The Fading Light 9:12, 30 April 2006
- I don't see why not, but be careful with the references and be clear exactly who is saying what. AndroidCat 02:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "sick" vs. "hepatitis"
An anon editor changed the description that Christman's single use of heroin "made her sick" to saying she contracted hepatitis from it. I was going to mark it as requiring a source, but I tried to find any verification for it and failed. Per recent discussion at WP:RS and the high probability of Ms. Christman being targeted for "dead agenting" I am instead removing the claim to the talk page. -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:16, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
a bunch of things need to be changed because they are not appropriate for an encyclopedia page. they make her opinions of the church sound like fact. this is a page giving informnation about a critic of hte church, not that the church is evil. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnkong (talk • contribs).
[edit] WAY too much unverifiable detail
This article is way too long for a not terribly notable person. It is unencyclopedic as well, telling us what Tory thinks without any citations. In my humble opinion, this article should consist of a few paragraphs saying who she was and why she's notable, not a detailed life story. Phiwum 17:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

- Agreed. Unsourced fluff sentences like "Tory was very happy in Park Ridge, and to this day considers that foundation of growing up in such a safe, happy town was part of what helped her wake up from Scientology, years later" are sheer garbage, as far as being encyclopedic goes.
