Scientologist ideologue Juliette Lewis confessed she's very disturbed about the Scientology's image presented by the media, arguing she would never subscribe to a restrictive, controlling religion.

Lewis confessed Scientology helped her to become a strong and independent person, stating it has allowed her to experience life in different way.

She says: "Whatever the media writes about Scientology would go against what you would think of me. But I'm fiercely independent and defiant and its all the stuff that I've done in Scientology that has helped reinforce that and make me even more of an individual.

"It's a true non-conformist religion. It's just the media makes it really negative."

"I am no longer stuck in the bottomless pit of despair and apathy. Having achieved the state of Clear is the single most important thing that I've done for myself. It has allowed me to experience life in a way I only imagined."

Juliette Lewis, born June 21, 1973 wanted to act since she was six years old, and got her start in TV at the age of twelve. She has appeared in over forty films and made-for-TV movies.

She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1992 for Cape Fear. She received an Emmy nomination for her performance in My Louisiana Sky in 2001.

Lewis has also launched a career as a solo singer and musician, leading a group called Juliette and the Licks which has released a number of recordings. She is working with rock songwriter Linda Perry, among others.

So glad you have achieved your "clear mind"..if only those abused and tortured in the Sea Org. were able to. Anyone who is a part of this horrific cult, clear or not, is sick in my book.

It's the only religion where you have to spend billions euros/dollars to achieve the state of "Clear", as they call it.
I had a close friend who's been involved in that * , brought in by a girl who is a Scientologist, and my man was like on drugs, makin' debts over debts to pay Scientology's Auditors and * , and he was always sick, had maniac depression crisis (that he never had before joining the "cult"), when he started eating somethin' his mind would make him think the food he was eating would have killed him, and many other similars thoughts were fuckin' his mind up.
I read the most famous L.Ron Hubbard's book, "Dianetics", and it was a great big ball of * .
I prefered a lot more Anton LaVey's books. * Scientology.
