I was in Cleveland with my brother-
we had a very successful multi level marketing business going selling pictures door to door-

One day while living in Columbus with a 45 yr old former felon ( we didn't know this) he ripped us off of all our cash-

We were selling "Black Art" at an African American show on the Ohio State University campus- ( Talk about balls! A Salaam Aleggum)

He stole $30,000 form us forcing us to have to go back home to Cleveland with our tails between our legs-

At 22 yrs of age and 20 yrs of age we had to go back to living with our mom-

She was going through a real rough time with her divorce and we felt she literally , snapped-

She threw us out of her house, and we drove around for a few days looking for places to stay. One day we were driving outside of Akron , Oh and spotted guys selling the same pics we were selling on the side of the road-

We befriended them - they seemed very cool and offered us positions selling art in other locations. The only catch was we'd have to listen to them and learn about Dianetics.

My brother was living with a German Model at the time named Astrid, and one day he decided he didn't wanna stay in the fleabag motel we were all living in and that these hippy guys were a little weird so , D decided it was in his best interest to drive back to Cleveland and stay with his girlfriend- I stayed at the roach hotel that was $20 a night. NO CAR, NO MONEY, NO NOTHING
One night they asked me if I'd like to go through the "auditing process"

They knew I had a history of taking drugs, they knew some of my family had mental illness so they figured they would try to show me how right their teachings were and that I didn't need to see a shrink or take drugs I just needed to see the world from their eyes-

One night they turned the lights off and incessantlky asked me a lot of questions about my childhood-

I had A WONDERFUL CHILDHOOD- mind you- nothing troubling at all- until my parents divorced

They kept asking me to repeat the same incident over and over againas to show me that new information would come out each time-
They were right about that-

anyway- one rainy evening my brother calls me after 10 pm on the motel's phone system- The Indian man running this "Roach Coach Motel " Would not connect him to my room-
The Scientologists I was meeting with held all my calls and my brother panicked, grabbed the biggest bounce you have ever seen from a club up in Cleveland and drove down 45 mins to get me- he felt something was wrong-

He was right. After the entire ordeal went down, I got a weird vibe from them , and wanted to get away-
Then the power went off after a huge bolt of lightning hit the telepjone pole outside-

I went running out of theh hotel into a biker bar wearing nothing but my boxer shorts and a Robert Palmer Concert T Shirt ( don't ask me why)

My bro picked me up at that bar after I called from a public phone his girlfriend Astrid -

Who literally didn't understand English very well , let alone slang...

She was HOT though.
Well Cory, that's my story

I didn't think about any of this until the night of the Players Ball about 4 yrs ago when we had Doug E Fresh come and play-
At dinner in the Venetian before his show he was talking about how he and his dad ( also tour manager) were into Scientology and that he'd invite me to an event at the Celebrity Centre in Hollywood- I asked hm what he thought of auditing and the "clear" process- he told me that was something he'd need to show me in further detail-

He also told me he was introduced to Scientology through Isaac Hayes-

Two weeks later he calls and invites me to Barbra Streisands house fo some benefit he was playing-

I got lost in Malibu that night, never found the house- and I haven't spoken to Doug E Fresh in two years-

I really should give him a call- he is a wonderful guy.
He really piqued my curiosity in the religion-
