Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology From: inform@Primenet.Com (the inFormer) Date: 13 Oct 1995 16:59:25 GMT [unrelated stuff deleted - TH] From about 85 to 89 I was in a deep depression. 90+% of my daily thoughts dealt with death. I gained 50 pounds. Often I didn't go out of my house for weeks. I could not sleep without waking up in a cold sweat. Slowly I began to walk to the library and check out books on depression. I joined a discussion support group, but they couldn't grasp what it was like to be recovering from a cult. In 89 I saw a show on Sally Jessie Raphael which mentioned CAN. I contacted Priscilla Coates, was lent a bunch of books and the rest is history. Well, sorta. I got back to making music and I began to publish a newsletter called "the inFormer". Over the next year and a half I put out 12 issues. [unrelated stuff deleted - TH] +--------------------------------------+ Rev.
