ello, my name is Aldin Smith, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I was raised as a half-valid, lukewarm Christian. By the time I was ten, I was positive there must be more to this universe than, "live once, be good, die, get buried, go to heaven". I left my religion and became an atheist.

          When I was 18 and a sophomore in college, I changed my mind again and decided that there might be something to religion after all, especially Eastern religions. I figured I would have to figure out how to free myself by myself.

          It was at this point that I was introduced to Scientology. I took the Communication Course, and read Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health that very same week, and amazingly enough, I was convinced that this was the way to freedom. I've now been a Scientologist for 27 years, and I know that this is the way.
