It’s been far too long since we’ve mentioned Bonnie Woods, the American woman living in England who in 1999 won a legendary court case that resulted in the Church of Scientology not only paying her damages for harassing her, but also apologizing to her.

Bonnie had been a member of Scientology in the 1970s in the US until she moved to Britain in 1982, when she decided to leave. She then became a born-again Christian in 1991.
