Hey Divas, my post for today is called “Born with Style|Fall-Winter Kids Fashion”. I’m always here to help you and inspire you, so for today I chose to dress up your biggest treasure in a fancy way. I’m sick of the Batman or Superman t-shirts which actually are favorite pieces of clothes of our boys and the little white dresses that we buy for our girls. Aren’t they? What happened with the kids fashion? It doesn’t really matter is it a boy or a girl, it is your turn to search the Net and find the perfect outfits for your children.

If I fell over, Mum would do a 'contact assist', says Astra. 'That means that whatever part of your body you hurt, you must take and press against the object which hurt it. You keep repeating this until the pain goes away. She made me do it in public, which embarrassed me.

'If I was ill my mother would give me a 'touch assist' - I would lie down and she would touch me with her finger. She would say: 'Feel my finger.' She wouldn't stop until I felt better, so to stop her prodding me I'd say I felt better.'

Astra and other former Scientologists have confirmed the church does not believe in comforting children, viewing them as adults in young bodies who can handle pain and responsibility like a grown-up.

When Astra was five or six, she started going to church for 'auditing', a form of counselling which is the basis of Scientology's teachings. 'It was like a drill where I was told: 'Look at the wall, walk to the wall, touch the wall, walk away from the wall.' Other times I would be told to follow someone's hand movements with my eyes.

'It was supposed to calm you down and help you see the world clearly, but really it was hypnotic.'

The children would hold two electrodes while answering questions. The meter detects small amounts of electronic resistance and an unbalanced needle would indicate the children did not understand something.

Other tests undertaken in 'ethics' sessions include a bizarre questionnaire which the Daily Mail has obtained.

Designed for six to 12-year-olds, the questions include: 'Have you ever decided that you did not like a member of your family?' 'Have you ever refused to obey an order from someone you should obey?' and 'Have you ever broken something belonging to someone else?' Such questions could disturb impressionable minds.

Astra Woodcraft has her own extraordinary memories of growing up as a Scientologist.

Astra's architect father, Lawrence, and mother, Lesley, were Scientologists. Her grandparents were members of the church's UK HQ in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

Lawrence joined as an idealistic 24-year-old, fresh out of college.

'I was approached by someone on the street in San Francisco, where I was on holiday, and became interested in the promises they made,' he says.


 

 

Dressed in jeans and a T- shirt, perched on the sofa of her father's modest Californian home, there is little to link Astra Wood-craft with Nicole Kidman.

The British-born single mother has never been to a showbiz party, but shares something far more fundamental with the soon-to-be-ex Mrs Tom Cruise.

According to Kidman's friends, the actress, who was raised a Roman Catholic in Australia, has become disillusioned with Scientology - in which Cruise is so active - and her desire to distance the couple's two adopted children from the church's teachings is cited as one of the main reasons behind their marriage break-up.

It is a view Astra, 22, understands only too well. She is adamant her two-year- old daughter Kate will not be raised according to the doctrines of Scientology's founder, the science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.

'I want Kate to have a normal childhood and make her own decisions in life,' she says.

After 19 years as a Scientologist, Astra knows what she is talking about. She spent much of her childhood in the church's strictest order - the Sea Organisation - and her story provides a rare insight into the workings of Scientology, which numbers some of Hollywood's biggest names among its adherents.

Her views are shared by Teresa Summers, 42, who works for the Florida-based Lisa McPherson Trust, an organisation which vehemently opposes Scientology.

Theresa was a Scientologist for 20 years, working for the Sea Organisation in a Scientology school, though she did not have a degree or formal teacher training.

'I didn't teach. The children had worksheets and I just checked them and helped them look up a word if they had difficulty with something,' she says.

If her pupils still had difficulties, they would be sent to attend 'ethics' sessions at

which they would be hooked up to a machine called a 'learning accelerator', similar to a type of lie detector.
