She doesn't say she quit Scientology because Scientology was stupid No, she says she left because she didn't like the way it's leadership was acting. She doesn't look back during her writing of the book and criticize all the stupid things she did in service to Scientology. She looks back and tells us how she spent a large part of her life following what they said, and doesn't suggest during those parts of the book that it was stupid. This book confused me. It's like she agrees with, understands, and supports Scientology, but decided to write a book that pretends to be against it. The only thing she finds fault with is the leadership and not the fact that it's not an actual religion, and is actually something stupid. There is no place in the book where she says it's stupid at all, so there is no actual point to read this book. She wasted most of her life being a Scientologist and doesn't seem to regret it. If a good Scientology ran the organization, she wouldn't have written the book at all most likely.
