An open letter to the Star Power of Scientology especially those that are planning to speak out against prescription drugs. Please don’t play God. God is already working in those peoples lives, leave well enough alone.

  I admire the fact that you have an opinion about Prescriptions and I love that you are "MOVIE STARS", but for me and the less lofty people please be quiet! Prescriptions are just that, they are prescribed by usually reputable Doctors who are honestly doing their job. They are drugs that do a job and the job they do provides the relief needed.

  I have used prescribed medication when it was prescribed by the Doctor I see. I used the medication and it did exactly what I needed it to do. I was depressed and while I was on the medication the depression lifted, it lifted enough so I could again help myself. Then when it was time I was taken off the medication. If it happens again will I get back to my Doctor? You bet and I’m sure I’ll be back on the medication.

  Drugs also provide people with difficult personalities a way to function in life. People like you with Star Power, Shock and Awe Power have enough credibility to pull HUGE amounts of people away from the medication they need to function in life. What are you going to do for those who believe the things you are saying? Are you going to help them with praying? Are you going to provide for them as they again slip in the darkness that some of them will find themselves in? Are you going to step into their life and give them the hand up they need? You’re words, I pray you know this, have the capability of wrecking ruining their life. Hopefully you wont stand around like fish in a fish bowl with your mouths open saying, "Oh my." Hopefully you have enough compassion to take the responsibility for your words and do the work necessary to follow up.

  Jesus’s words when asked what are the greatest commandments said. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. The second, you shall love your neighbor as yourself."

  Shouting your beliefs from the mountain you are on is exhilarating, it has a rush to it, I’m sure. Shouting your beliefs and doing nothing about the words you are shouting is appalling. If you truly love God than you have to love your neighbor. If you love God than help your neighbor not hurt them more. Family’s can be ruined because of your words and you need to hold yourselves accountable. Are you ready for that?

  I’ve sat in Recovery meetings with others who believe as you do. I’ve heard lofty people share their wisdom and I’ve seen the harm caused by reckless words. I’ve seen people take their own life because of reckless words. The words you are spewing are the easy way. Living with no accountability is easy. Saying what you are saying is like a bird flying over a crowd and relieving itself, that bird flying has no care what happens to its doodoo. That bird feels the need to relieve itself, so it does. Just like the feeling you seem to be having in public right now. Please think before you speak. Please consult with people who have honesty in them before you speak. Look around you, there are people who are laying in the ditch already, help them before you ravage more people.

  The greatest advice I can give you is this advice. "Never say anything to make something happen."
