Shout out to Leah Remini for having the guts to shine a spotlight on that total scam 👊👏👏👏
Gotta love her!
@@sbwelsh7985 Absolutely!
Absolutely. Leah is amazing!!
@@elizabeth10392She is amazing because Scientology tried to Destroy her but the True God was on HER Side xox Time for Healing and Rejoicing for the Supressed
Her show seems to have forced open the door to see the extent of hypocrisy and illegal activity that is called Scientology.

2023: Tom Cruise is The Last Scientologist

That will be TC’s last movie.
Decades ago I was just back from my honeymoon when someone knocked at my door. It was a Scientologist trying to recruit new members. There began one of the most disturbing encounters of my life, culminating with this guy trying to literally break up me and my new husband. I immediately told him I was not interested in Scientology. He sensed my husband was more vulnerable to recruitment (he was), because he was naive back then. So I’ve got this guy standing at my door who won’t leave, trying to talk my husband into divorcing me and to then join Scientology after we split up. At that point I told the guy to get off my front porch or I’d call the police. That’s when I knew they were a cult.
You don't think correctly. You need to be audited. When can we come by to pick you up?
How strange it all is! That intense person, trying so hard to break up your marriage, was probably under extreme pressure to bring back some new recruits. I used to have a list of questions to put to those door-to-door people to help THEM to start questioning their cult. I did it in a fun way but they soon stopped coming to my door!!
@@tracesprite6078 You need auditing. Scientology can help you to realize your dreams and unleash your full potential. It made Grant Cardon a billionaire. It can do the same with you.
@@tracesprite6078Please let us know what the questions are 😀
@@tracesprite6078 afaik, scientology is a lot about how much you can give. Those door-to-door people are not the highest up in the chain. To be allowed to go up, they need to deliver money.
Leah Remini explained it well, how they have "secret knowledge" that only higher ranks are allowed to access. they basically hype it up and tell the members that only if they deliver money and work their way up can they receive all the knowledge.
Like for any other door2door saleseman, all that matters for them are the numbers. If they sign more new members than others, they get a raise. that's all there is to it.
Its been 5 hours and more people have seen this live than are in Scientology ❤
That’s great. 😂
Hahaha! Indeed!❤
I still don’t really understand how they can be so sheltered from the real world around them. Do they really not even hear a sliver of what the entire world is saying about their cult?
The reason why their mumbers a dwindling is because they become aware, one after the other.
I mean, loads of evangelicals are the exact same. They may genuinely have no idea. 🤷
You've not been born into a cult, that's why you cannot fathom.
Yeah I don’t get it either. I mean I do kinda, I listen to the channels stories all the time but I still don’t entirely get it.
@@toribern816 imagine never seeing or hearing news outside a cult you had no choice to born into.
Tom only gravitated towards Scientology because of Miscavage, he was just happy to have found someone shorter than himself.😂
That was low lol
@@ahappyimagoNot as low as a free e-meter reading.
That’s so mean 😂
@@emmavari9530 He deserves it, this cult he's funding has done pretty bad, unethical, harmful things to people.
😂😂😂
I'm so sad this cult still exists. The money they have milked from people.
When I was young and searching for a religion, I sent away for their literature. Just a few pages in I realized this was not a church, it was a business pyramid cult. Me, a lowly young mother, figured it out. How do their members not realize it's a sick cult? I'm an atheist now. LOL!
We don't know the real tally, not by a long shot. Either way, it has become apparent that they've never helped people.
…from the government
@@CHDean The IRS had them full-on on their back and let it go, yes.
Not too hard to go to Ortegas' site and pick the boxes you want to repell .
I live in Austin and I had a business here in the 90's. My bookkeeper was a devout Scientologist. I hated it because she was such a good, moralistic woman, and I trusted her implicitly. Her and her family were so poor because they gave all their money to the cult. I went to the building with her to try to understand it. They opened a file on me..I sat and watched the movie and I did the cans. Never once did I understand how anyone could buy into this Theology. I gave it the good old college try in an amazing building, but ewww..I hope she's ok. I couldn't believe the location. It seemed like a big sore in the middle of a thriving area. Crazy...
Austin great town. Loved the time I spent there. Wonderful people in Texas. I think some of the nicest people I’ve ever met were in Austin Texas. Thank you I just had to share that.
I have no idea what any Scientologist sees in that cult. I once read "Dianetics" once and it was all I could do not to start laughing hysterically at all the bilgewater. I have a friend who is a devout Scientologist and she took me to a church open-house. Just for giggles and fits, I tried the free auditing (the cans). The auditor told me the e-meter showed I was under stress. I said, "No kidding. I'm homeless" and walked out. Later, my friend told me that she was saving up for a course that would enable her to-wait for it-walk through walls and levitate. The cost? $19,000.00.
I was Div 6 (recruitment) staff at the Austin org during the 80’s. It was shocking to me (having come down from Dallas) how few people hadn’t heard about the cult status.
All the foot traffic was either university or out to hit the bars for some live music.
I’ll give them this, it was an easy job. Staff there were a LOT less insane than Dallas.
@@harrietharlow9929 Joke will be on you when she comes walking into your house without opening the front door.
Ewwww 😂 thank you for sharing this with us.
It’s crazy isn’t it? All those tax free dollars and they STILL can’t make it work.
Weird right?
25 million dollars. Are these estimates real?
They can't be if they can't afford pants?
It works beautifully for those who get to be in charge.

@@Christmas-dg5xc Not even them.MR Miscavage can hop on a jet and never be heard from again anyday. His wife is still officially number TWO and oblivious in her secret base, good little bitch guarding LHR secrets.
It doesn't surprise me at all that there are only 120 Scientology members in the entire city of Austin. When I was involved in Scientology in Toronto in the 80's, I would estimate there was at most about 200 active members. That's a very small number in a city of over 2 million people. When I was involved, the Church of Scientology of Toronto occupied an 8 story building on Yonge St, the main street downtown. Since 2013 the building has been empty and boarded up. They're now in a smaller facility in a more remote area of the city. It will be a great day when this pathetic cult fades away forever.
What did they do in the building? Live there?
In the late 80s, my mom joined the “church” in Orlando, and they barely had any staff and were always struggling with money.
I was only 11 years old and became the receptionist because they had no one to answer the phone!
I remember that storefront on Yonge Street just below Bloor. Got curious and went to find out. Maybe I thought it was the Christian Scientists. It was too weird and they seemed to be more interested in what I could pay out. After finding about the spaceships and volcanoes that was it for me if not before. They are now on O'Connor drive. Not going to get any foot traffic there at all. Most def in decline. Open up their local website and get a threat alert right away from the anti-virus.
@@rachiepeach Ouch. Typical. whatever crap they told, you answered the phone, even once, praise the Lord, well David, YOU became an active member by picking up. talk about tough calls.
@@auntisthenes2754Child labor is right up their alley.
I think when Tom Cruise went nuts, he had the opposite effect. Everyone saw how insufferable he was being and assumed all Scientologists were just like that.
Good point!
Yes, poor Tom! He has that mesmerized look as if he is reading a script written on the back of his forehead. "Hello! I'm Tom and I'm completely happy to be a Scientology Robot. Yes, I really, really, really AM very, very, very happy." @@MRAIClassroom
Thing is Tom was raised a Roman Catholic, how do you just flip on how you were raised.
One cult to another
I don't think most Catholic churches are like a cult. In fact, most priests encourage people to think and to care. However, Tom is part of the high-tension celebrity world where the spotlight seldom turns off. When people get too tense, then some people turn to cults. And once Scientology has all those confessions, then it's too embarrassing for Tom to leave them. What will they do with those confessions? @@foofghtr
If David shows up to pull the ribbon, the authorities should take the chance to serve him those subpoenas.
You can basically thank Tom Cruise for the demise of Scientology😂. I think of him jumping up & down on Oprah’s couch (yes, I’m old enough to have watched the original episode) then realize that truly was the beginning of the end.
Tom Cruise is also approaching his sell by date, if he hasn’t already passed it.
I think it was when he took a pop at Brooke Shields about her having sought treatment for post partum depression and 9/11 firefighters and emergency service rescuers for having treatment for ongoing health issues of various types that killed any vestige of an inclination that I may have had to listen to the spewings of Cruise (trust me , it was a minimal vestige that was already most of the way dead)
Cruise is not the only reason for the demise of scientology. If you haven't already, Google the death of Lisa McPherson. She was murdered by Scientology! Read the horror stories that regular people tell about their experiences in Sea Org, or those people kept hostage and used as forced labor for years.
2004 award... 20 years ago... just before the iPhone, the last era scientology could realistically control information. Social media has not been kind to cults.
I still don’t understand how they are keeping their tax exempt status, and all of the offshore accounts when it has been proven time and time again that they are an illegal organization. I also understand that David Miscavage lives an extraordinarily lavish lifestyle, while most of the people in Scientology, except for the celebrities live a poverty ridden existence, because they have to give all their money to Scientology to support David Miscavages lifestyle
The IRS threatened them and the church stood up to them and basically said "tax us and we'll reveal all the shady and illegal stuff you do" and the IRS backed down and gave them tax exempt status. Its all because the IRS is so corrupt they had to back down. You should look into the history of it because it was all pretty pathetic. Just a reminder that our own gov't is so corrupt that it simply cannot throw stones...or uphold their own laws...no church should be tax exempt, but especially not the CS.
There is a decades old song in germany, where the lyrics are like "the caravan moves through the desert, and the guru flies above it in a private jet." The song is meant as a joke, but its the reality.
No religion should be tax exempt. Period. That's an unintended consequence of separation of church and state.
Just look at the Christian prosperity doctrine pastors. Same scam in Christian clothes. Living in million dollar homes and bragging about it as Gods will but sucking off the offerings of their flock who believe that the more they give, the more that God will bless them financially.
In the amount of time it took her to write that FB post, she could have put the bags together herself. It was only like 6 people...🤦
Exactly! I'm so amused and confused by the post
Hilarious
Orrr, are these people not grown adults? Can't they put their own bags together?
@@benstrait333 Unfortunately, they aren't. They're brainwashed cult members...lol
@@benstrait333I also find this very confusing. There was no need for bags to begin with. Ppl are perfectly capable of sorting through vlothes from a bin or a table.
Of all the billions Scientology has and they can’t dress their staff.
Back in the early 70s , the cult office in Edinburgh in Scotland was situated in the street between the main railway station and the university buildings. There was also the university bookshop nearby. One day I was on my way to the bookshop and was waylaid by a nutjob outside. I went up and took their test and a few weeks later got a letter telling me that the book of Dianetics could change my life. It cost about £45 at a time I was living on £3 a week. I threw the letter in the bin and never made a better decision in my life.
Ccm
I was there at that time. A classmate was persuaded to go upstairs for a free "personality test" (probably the "Oxford Capacity Analysis") after which she was barraged with letters harping on the insecurities the questionnaire had revealed, which they claimed could only be sorted out by "courses" at their organisation.
I remember that office and the people handing out leaflets. Used to get the train in daily to go to UNI. Hard to believe that we cynical Scots could ever be taken in.
Moved to Weymouth a few years later only to be inundated with leaflets through the door. FF a few decades snd in 20 years while in Bournemouth I’ve had 2 leaflets only. So definitely dwindled. Thank goodness, saved a lot of people.
The gospel of Jesus Chris is free to all. We lived on street over from Scientology in Milan Italy. Our
Blvd was very nice but they were across from a known prostitution hotel. When we were confronted to join one of their events, we kindly said no bc we are believers of Jesus Christ…. They hurried away from us so fast.
Omg 45£ in the 70s! 🤢
You seem like such a smart, down to earth guy Aaron. Someone that nothing gets by, but I bet back in the day NOBODY could tell you shit about all this being bullshit. Glad to have you in the real world with us! 😂😂😂
I was "Tommy's" ( as he preferred to be called at the time) first talent agent. He was a psychological study. His personality shift was startling. I try not to pay attention to him but sometimes he's just on the screen or in my old files. His same psychological shifts are still visible. He was destined to be in a cult. Anyway, just my point of view.
Very interesting
@@randymulder9105 I would describe him as directed and cunning. But it was how he behaved because he was young. It was really startling to witness. I don't know him now. I have only seen the same videos as everyone else... only I was never surprised by his behaviors.
@@justmeonly986like the obvious lack of spontaneity with the Oprah couch incident. Could read in his face that it was a planned manipulation.
@@justmeonly986 I see. Thanks. Make sense. So he's just involved in the wrong stuff. Well, if it makes him more money than it's a good deal. I guess.
I feel bad for exaggerating my thoughts about him. Lol Oh well.
Are you the one who approved the underwear and socks scene in Risky Business?
So glad to hear anything relating to that evil cult failing!
Same thing old religion for you... Jai shree ram
I've got it... they can get these staff members to assemble their own uniform bags, thereby killing two birds with one stone. Brilliant right? And I'm not even a Scientologist!
They have no money and little ke
I was happy to yet again walk down Russell Street in Melbourne past the old Scientology place, realizing they'd long been chased out of town by designer jewellery lol - I think it's the same everywhere. And being run by assholes and dickheads doesn't help.
I think they've moved out to Ascot Vale 😢
I don't understand why they need volunteers to put together uniforms for like 8 people. Why doesn't this Sarni person get them together. It's pants, shirts, name badges. Any HR person at any company can do that in a few hours. Do they have to fly into the volcanoes to get these uniforms? Does Xenu keep them in some secret hiding place. Of all the strange stuff about Scientology, this has got to be one of the strangest things I've ever heard. 🤔
They don’t want to convince people to help with the uniforms. Rather they want people to come so they can twist their arm to serve on staff. It’s not really the task they asked for. 😜
@@lizardgirl72Good one. Hadn't thought of that.
I was wondering the same thing. I didn't get that at all.
I would assume they are called in to go annoy non scietologists for money for the uniforms. Also if Scientologists are all that; why do they need other people's money? It's a con from start to finish. Like all religions these days. Very little helping of the poor and they should be taxed heavily.
This channel deserves at least a million subscribers and way more coverage. It’s disgusting that these con artists still have their tax exempt status. Enough is enough.
can you help what do you guys say about Dr Berg I have watched a lot of his health videos and still watching but suddenly I just found in some comments that he is sciencelogost don't follow his advise I don't even know very much about this scientology thing he looks absolutely fine and helping guy from his hundreds of videos that I have watched but should we trust him and his claims in health
No religion should ever have exemption.
@@amirhamza7610 I would never trust a Scientologist!
Went to Austin Natl Bank in he mid ‘80’s with a client/friend to get a bank loan. We were introduced to a VP. As we entered his office, client (she grew up in PA or somewhere in Northeast US) she noticed a shelf full of Scientology books. She says: “L Ron Hubbard! He was the roommate of our family friend when they were in college. One day when they were sitting around talking as they were broke, Hubbard said “I’ve figured how to get rich, I’m going to start a religion!”” This banker’s face went from a big smug smile to pure shock! They didn’t get the loan, but that banker seemed to have a reality check!
Story I read was Hubbard and two other Sci Fi authors were in a bar and started talking about how they could influence people with their work.. Hubbard bet them he could start a religion and get make money. After the ball got rolling he just kept adding to it. I don't believe he ever believed any of what he wrote, but liked the attention, money and lifestyle.
Yep! Interestingly Alan parsons the rocket scientist; somewhat of an ritual magic guy hung around with the sci fi writers crew, not sure if he was at specific lunch but he liked to hang around Hubbard and the boys and LRon Hubbard moved into parsons lodge and ruined his life!
One story I've heard is that, before launching Scientology himself, he tried to sell his program to the military as an effective form of brainwashing. I don't know if it's true, but it certainly worked.

Lol what about your.... Jai shree ram
As someone who lives in Austin I can’t imagine how this venture could survive. The cost of living here has skyrocketed.
CO$ !!! 3.5 billions and interests replenishing themselves for lawsuits that keep the few valued adepts rich.. Most, like Aaron are drones and meant to stay that way. But they're leaving instead. Enough is enough. If aaron says there were 7 "slaves" / adepts originally in Austin, That's the state of affairs.
Depleting other "churches", some of them not even english speakers for a grand opening is the typical desperate move to save face.
Aaron's videos in downtown Clearwater speak volumes. Beautiful town. Barely anyone in sight though. Like Hazmat suit required toxic town..with possible Church's spooks or police ready to pop and ask what your business is.
it has everything to be a touristic hotspot and is the most uninviting town at the same time.
Funny you're all about the cost of living, not a problem for them. And it just slides that you're handpicked to be morons. That's expected of Texans..
It's tougher than ever for them to bleed money out of people
If they can do it in LA or NYC they can probably do it anywhere
Influx of California residents causing the rise in housing costs?
Are scientologists not aware of how much money their dear leader himself has? I’m so confused. No uniforms?? WTH is going on?😂
The few the proud and in the bubble of evidently not knowing. Their little lambs innocent of the evil that seeks to prey upon them. It is possible to not be aware of an artfully crafted deception. I hope this awful cult is brought to justice, and of course loses tax exemption. Made to pay for the care of the elderly and children and all those in between. Property sold monies set into a trust. One can hope.
DO YOU know ? Officially it's not enormous, rather fair.. He doesn't waste a cent in his name. He lives rather simply, as rich people go. Still a large 6 figure salary for years. He can disappear any day and live large in a non -extradition country or may have bought a small island..As was his right.
So far he liked being a demi-god better, it may be time to run, though...
As an Ex-Sea Org member, I can say I had no idea. As far as we knew he was a Sea Org member like the rest on us, getting the same pay and everything.
@@mariahspringstead775
I’m so happy you are out now.
It’s really sad that so many people are fearful and look to, and need, someone to lead them.
The church in Denver won't even open the door for visitors. They just peek around corners and look terrified. It's pathetic.
It only works on the vulnerable who are searching for something to give them meaning.
"For the love of Xenu!"... I'm going to start saying this in my normal conversations as much as possible. 😆
Put a name tag on those young staffers in the picture and they could be Mormon missionaries.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Calling themself a church and not be taxed is criminal and should be investigated. The corruption between Scientology and the LAPD is deplorable
Have you looked at the "ownership " of Scientology?
If the organisation were dissolved, who would get the assets after any debts were paid?
Interesting....my late Father was living with my brother-he started receiving promotional literature from the COS-we are talking glossy handbooks, pictures of LR himself, catalogs with jewelry for "clears"...anyway, this stopped after a few years. My Dad passed in 2014..just last month the mailings resumed! I read that COS opened a huge center outside Dublin, Ireland-locals say they never see anybody inside the place.. I suspect the bigwigs like Miscavage are stealing as much $$ as they possibly can-knowing the whole scam will soon collapse.
"If you want to get rich, you start a religion.” L Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology.

When I pass the Scientology building here in Nashville, I never see anyone there. The other night I drove by the building and all of the lights were off. So either they shut off the lights to save money or they had the power cut because they couldn't pay the bill.
I have seen ads on tv for Scientology no less than 10 times the past two weeks. The first I have seen since I moved out of Texas 8 years ago. It is wild to me that they are suddenly making a push into my area up here in Montana.
Those ranchers and farmers definatly do not need to be "cleared "
Something similar happened in Toronto. Toronto org was the continental org. It owned an 8 story office building in downtown Toronto with a large Div 6 area right on the corner, lots of foot traffic, a restaurant, and space to spare. Part of the building was rented out so expenses would also be covered. Then along came the Ideal Org strategy. The org, including the CLO which was also housed there, moved out to a much less desirable location. The tenants also left, including the restaurant. The building was boarded up in preparation for renovations which never started and has remained in this condition for years now.
Maybe someone has some current information on the state of the org. I'd bet my bottom dollar that its in very rough shape now.
I just saw it a few weeks ago and it just looks terrible. Such a crying shame. A location for a great piece of real estate just in shambles. So curious as to when something will be done there. Probably waiting for an astronomical amount of money to be bought out. And I also had enjoyed the food at the Bros Restaurant that were the other tenants . Yep, I'll say it again..crying shame.
…and I _still_ miss the Brothers restaurant.
🤣🤣🤣 for the love of Xenu I'm laughing so hard

What strikes me most is that the “stupid” info was on the “street” since 1993 with the Fishman affidavit. Apparently people thought that this is so stupid that it can’t be true!
How come the staffers themselves can’t pull together their uniforms and sew on the name badges? Even Scout packs can do that.

The company I work for had an operation in Austin, and while it didn't work out (long story, we'll be coming back) the way it was built was - wait for it - to PAY people. We sent people to Austin, PAID them well to set things up, and then paid a pretty decent wage to hire people locally. We didn't have to beg.
I hope and pray this evil cult gets shut down...
Much like NXIYM (or how that was spelled) but raping people brains. Wonder if the get the contribution from the state for being a religious (sic!) organization here in Sweden?
I look at Scientology the same way I look at flat earthers.
I find it hilarious that Austin’s motto is “keep Austin weird”. I guess the cult of Scientology is just a little too weird for them.
I thought that was Portland!
Aaron, walk us around Clearwater more, just to see the sights. I really enjoyed your video yesterday walking more of the town and down to the water ❤️
Thanks for your continuous love and support❤❤ how long have you been a fan?
Ann Meisser is going to be embarrassed when she sees this vid. Not a bright move on her part to have presented Scientology in a state of desperation by requesting help for something that is "not hard".
Watching you on the streets on Clearwater the other day when you bumped into the Scientologist from Wisconsin & had a mutually pleasant conversation. It made me think if Scientology hadn’t isolated themselves, introduced & put so much time into disconnection, SP’s and harassment etc they could still be somewhat successful. Turning a whole town into a ghost town in such a beautiful place says so much. These things have ultimately not just harmed those they intended to but Scientology have been their own undoing.
I’d challenge any Scientologist to do the maths. If there were millions of Scientologists out there why are so many places unoccupied & roles left unfilled. With millions of Scientologists you should be filling centres.

There is a scientology building in Plant City, Florida that I went by every day for 20+ years. They paid a lot to purchase it and refurbish it. In all those days I never saw one person in the building, never. The lights are on and there are desks with some sort of electronic equipment on each desk. It is very weird, never one person in the building ever!
You should see the crappy building they are using in Albuquerque, NM. The sign on the edge of the parking lot looks like a sign for a garage sale.
I wonder if they are sending in the "squirrel busters" to stand outside this guys house. The way they do to harass anyone that criticises or says anything about them they don't like.
Galactic expansion? No wonder, Scientology is ramping up in Austin, when Tesla and SpaceX are now having HQ there.
About a week and a half ago randomly things about Scientology started to pop up on my UA-cam feed and anytime something like this happens I know that something big is about to go down with whatever’s popping up in my life. It’s like this precursor to a shake up and when I noticed the pattern I said you know what something really big is about to happen with Scientology and I don’t think they’re gonna like it. lol mark my words somethings going down! It’s Scientology. Scientology is going down lol
Is Tom Cruise even helping Scientology any more? He's returned to superstar status.. but I think part of that is that he's stopped being vocal about Scientology. I don't really follow celeb gossip, but I've seen Cruise here and there and he never seems to talk about his beliefs any more.
Hopefully he leaves

Strange message for Facebook. Can it be they're used to Mommy laying their clothes out on their beds? I thought all Scientologists were born in incubators, but what do I know, I didn't grow up in a cult. Thanks, A-Aron! 😮
@greg - 'born in an incubator'... just about spit out morning coffee, thanks for the laugh :)

@@lisagerman2111 Thanks. I probably should've been more sensitive. Learning from A Aron and Leah and others how Scientology splits up families is really saddening. Cheers, Lisa!
Little Tommy couldn't even usher someone to their SEAT! 😂
We have maybe a dozen here in Wichita. Considering our city’s history with Scientology, that really says something about how their numbers really have dwindled.
I love that it’s in the same strip mall as The Stuffed Animal Rescue Foundation! THEY need your money more than Scientology!!!
Tom's enlarged nose brings up the point that decades in CoS has not stopped him from aging. And likely does very little to most aging related health conditions that he will eventually encounter.
I don't understand why those eight or nine people can't put those darn bags together themselves! It's not like they're super busy with only a hundred or so scientologists in the entire city?! Very bizarre.
They follow the strategy of all religions: get them while they're young.
University kids getting educated, are not dumb enough to end up at that place, that's the crux of it.
Go ahead-pick on Austin!
I got my copy of Dianetics on Guadalupe in the 80s. Zenu’s soldiers were always polite and quite pervasive back in the day. I think I still have my copy. Never read it.
The current cemetery location is sad and looks closed. I never see activity there.
Maybe they will turn the beautiful new building into student housing or social services! That would be great!
For the love of Zenu after 20 years, begging to bag uniforms and a complete debacle. Your spot on. I don't think anybody could come up with such a farce.
I used to walk past the scientology bldg on the main college strip in Austin almost 20 yrs ago. When i tell you that there was NEVER ANYONE there??? Even when i went inside the front foyer to get out of the rain one day, noooothing! This was 17 years ago and i don't see it ever getting better!❤
I used to work 2 years as a Sea org member in AOSH in Denmark from 2018-2020 . Joined for fun not knowing where im going and had a tones of billes to be payed and they did pay them for me so i could start and i took the opportunity. First half a year it felt like a summer camp, rest of the time was Hell of a journey. The org was very alive btw but not sure about now
"As astonishing as it is compelling -- Steve Cannane's extraordinary insight into Scientology in Australia is investigative journalism at its very best.
From Rugby League players trying to improve their game, to Hollywood superstars and the depressed sons of media moguls, Scientology has recruited its share of famous Australians. Less known is that Australia was the first place to ban Scientology, or that Scientology spies helped expose the Chelmsford Deep Sleep Scandal. Numerous Australians have held senior posts in the organisation only to fall foul of the top brass and lose their families as a result. Based on years of interviews and research, Walkley Award-winning journalist Steve Cannane tells for the first time the fascinating story of Australia's vital involvement with this powerful, secretive and punitive cult."

Maybe they wanted an excuse to bring in other scientologists and the bags were just a ruse? Yes they put together some stuff, but maybe they thought while they were working together they could convince some of them to become full-time staff members? I don't know.
I thought the same.
Can't remember the last time I've seen the lights on inside Scientology's San Francisco org. It used to be open whenever I walked by, but not anymore.
I think the perception of Scientology from an outside perspective has changed so much that I thought 120 was a lot of members for a city.
In the time it took to pose for that photo, take it, etc, I think they could have filled the bags, right? Not hard!
Where is all the money going to if not for workers to make up bags of uniforms? These poor people need to wake up or someone needs to pop that bubble they are living in.
RIP Lisa McPherson.
Also let's not forget all the credit cards taken out in the names of terminally ill "church goers" that get maxed out in cash donations. Who pays for all that debt post mortem?
Cults gotta do what cults gotta do... usually it ends with a big ol' batch of Koolaid.
Well if they can afford it so flavor aid usually the quitting liquid of choice
I have a 24 years old son. What I see in Gen Z, is that they are not very interested in Spirituality at all. They are all more interedted in science and science fiction. My son repects Buddhism because it is more a philosophy then a religion and it is very free. And of course they all saw the Xenu video so for the young generation finds scientology a laughing stock.
I know there is a scientology here in vancouver. Im curious how many members are here now
Let's all hope and pray that all of scientology will be a bad memory by 2025 and we won't have anything but jokes and laughs left and families and friends will be reunited and everyone that has lived through and have been traumatized by this hellish cult will be on the road to recovery
When they lose their tax-exempt status then they will be over.
I was never a scientologist but I knew a few people ; read Dianetics in the early eighties , was sceptical but sort of live and let live. My youth was cult andd Guru time. I am born in 1960, was a Hippie and a Buddhist , but I had lots of friends which where Oshos Sanyasins or any other westernized Hippie spirituality. I fellt the change between the LRG times and the Miscavige times strongly, because it was only then that my scientology friends brike contact totally, before there was still at least one or the other dinner or phone call. The next great incision I fellt was when Katie Holmes went and how she went. And the fact that she did not say a single word why she had left him like a thieve in the night made it worse. Scientology was allways sus, but not as sus as afrher that. If she was so afraid of the chuurch that she had to take her daughter and flee, it must be something major was the perception of me and many of my old Hippe friends. And then off cpurse came Leah Remini snd you and all the rest. So I believe the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes story had definetely s great impact in public perception towards scientology.
I will never forget those tv commercials from the 80s advertising "Dianetics" .
@@zzygyy me neither. I read the book then but it was to little copmassion in there for me
Uniform I/C Sarnie can't fill 8x uniform bags and neither can the one posting for help? OMG, the workload is so overwhelming! Jeez Aaron, not like back in your day, when work meant WORK ha! ha!
"For the love of Xeenu" 😂😂😂
Also, i totally agree. This is a real estate scheme!
Why can’t the staff put their own damn bags together? It feels like what the PTA used to ask us parents to do for kindergartners!
I live in the DMV and where I am from Scientology isn’t even thought about , but I’m intrigued and fascinated about people stories who have escaped .
Keep of the videos
Department of Motor Vehicles????

A-Aron, you need to start a call-out to all the SP's and SP supporters. Do a video where you plead for the plight of these poor uniform lacking Scientologists, and ask "Can you help". These poor underprivileged Scientologists don't have uniforms, how can they possibly continue to clear the planet?
Then the call to action - "If you have spare uniform clothes in a closet somewhere, please send them to ... (insert address of SCN building in Austin). It will help greatly. It doesn't have to be a Xenu outfit, any uniform will do. Have a spare uniform from an old Blockbuster Video? Great! Something from Toys R Us or Radio Shack? That works too. Maybe an old postal carrier uniform or something from Hooters? Any donation can help these poor uniform-lacking Sea-Org members. Your donation will be greatly appreciated." I'm sure SP's and SP supporters would be happy to help these poor sea org members lacking uniforms.
I would love to see how much stuff shows up.
Why stop at uniforms send minion costumes..The new official uniform
😂😂😂
It truly is a sad situation for these sea-org folks. They only earn $50/week after all! Can't you spare a uniform?
I could probably spare the green furry dragon onesie that I wear every Halloween, if that would help!
I have and old spider man Pijama from my son when he was 12? Is that ok?
I don't think they have the money. They just have property. So they would have to sell their property to have some liquid
Please don't educate these people on how to solve their problems. Let them scatter.
I'm beginning to think that Miscavage is _planning on letting the COS die when he does._ He's collecting all the cash, knows the "heyday" of Scientology is long gone, and is just hanging on so he can live HIS tax-free life, hanging with a no-longer young, no-longer handsome Tom Cruise. He's got one more flop of a movie left in him until he's considered box-office poison, a has-been, just like the COS. Scientology won't be around in 20 years - just Miscavage & the ghost of Shelly. Xenu won!
I believe their goals have never been the actual goals.
With all the internet exposure and all of the videos from Aaron and many others, I'm thinking it will be much less than 20 years.
@@canadianfortrump4057 Yes all of that helps for not making any new recruits here in the states. What about other countries? The biggest thing to totally take down DM would be the 503 tax exempt status. If that happened lot of moving parts of COS would cease to move. That would be a good thing.
@@upallnite3164 Yes, they should never have been granted tax exempt status in the first place. Everyone should be outraged that they're paying higher taxes to the financial benefit of a mind controlling and money making cult.
Let’s hope it is soon when tom cruise is box-office poison! I can’t watch him!
