I highly recommend it and the website she founded with a couple of other women: exscientologykids. Tony Ortega's blog is also highly educational. This is a harmful, criminal organization that needs to be stopped.
And I'll just end this post by asking where's Shelly?

That's what I was going to say. Women seem to be expendable in Scientology (though it's the same in other religions.)
My mom worked with a nurse for many years in Louisiana that was a Scientologist. Every once in a while, she'd have to leave suddenly for church business. They'd send her off to audit or do manual labor. When she'd come back, she tell the hospital that she wasn't allowed to administer medications because of her religion. The hospital would tell her that as a nurse, her job duties included the administration of medications (none of which included psychiatric meds, btw), so do her job or find a new one. She'd always go back to administering meds. Two of her children were also Scientologists. One was SeaOrg and didn't even finish High School before being swept off to 1,000,000 years of service.
