in your involvement in Scientology and his job here with
the State of Florida. When you were in Scientology, no
one forced you to become a member?

A No one forced me to become a member.

Q Okay, no one forced you at the time you were
there to stay a member, is that right?

A No one forced me to stay a member.

Q And for a while you liked being a member?

Q You even have a tattoo and it meant a lot to
you?

Q At some point to you did that change?

A Yes, it did.

Q Did you try to take the steps that were taught
to you to properly leave the church?

A Yes, I did.

Q When you tried to do that were there any
repercussions?

A Yes, there were.

Q In fact, it is not just like for Mr. Tyson if
he were to quit his job, and he said he could walk out
the door. You couldn’t just walk out the door and say
that I am done with you all and never hear from them
again?
