"In Scientology, we have what’s called 'auditing,' and that helps you to address things in your life and to strip them away. It’s a path of spiritual enlightenment. Also, it helps rid the mind of painful experience completely. Through that, the people at my church literally held my hand and got me through… I will forever be indebted."But now, following on from her death, John is reportedly looking into quitting the religion altogether.
