Scientology is not interested in poor people.
MrZillas no....they like if you have money but if you don't you can dedicate your life by working for them for slave wages, then when you are old and not as useful you are thrown to the curb and they will ignore you because you no longer have anything to offer them. So in the end one ends up poor, homeless, no special skills , rejected, no pension and maybe sick but still brainwashed or hypnotized by the cults doctrine. Then one realizes that they wasted their life with all their sacrifices for the cult with nothing to show for it.
@@lawrencelawrence3920 Wow...no wonder some people defends it a lot..they have to if they want to live by...
Scientology is not interested in people. Just the money. Unless you are famous, of course, because fame can lead to more money.
@@lawrencelawrence3920
They probably get billed for their "free loader" debt once they're not useful to the cult anymore. I'm in awe that this org is still operating. I'm 43 now and I hope like hell that I am alive to see their tax exempt status taken away.
MrZillas no body in America is interested in poor people
Charles Manson said Scientology was too crazy for him, just let that sink in
Yeah right. Just another "Urban legend" swallowed and spread by the gullible sheeple who no doubt have an ax to grind!
The Kool aid must be very strong that's for sure.
🤔😶🤔😶😂😂
@Jesus Roselly - Well, at least I am so glad that Manson, the murdering monster, is DEAD! It's like who the hell cares about that man?
@Nina Martinez - Really? I didn't know what else that Charles Manson did during his past! Is that true, Nina?
I was introduced to Scientology by neighbors in 1964, and went & agreed to an 'audit'. They called me back to discuss the results, and claimed that I was too critical! I said "You're damn right I'm critical, and *that's* why I'm not joining your organization!"
That is so funny.
AWESOME.
I wouldn't mind doing an audit, just due to curiosity in what it entails. But I have zero interest in "real" religion, so I have less than zero patience for a cult.
😂😂😂😂😂
I have done the "audit" twice honestly and dishonesty, either way I had problems and needed auditing, I didn't go through with it, I think it comes down money, I live in Sydney Australia before the pandemic they were out and about everywhere, haven't seen them, they have a big church in the city.
Thank God for people like Leah Remini and Paul Haggis willing to put themselves out there to destroy this cult.
Lisa Mieth .....and then Paul was accused by many women of raping them and sexual misconduct. Church will do anything to discredit someone.
ekim andersom well I wouldn’t go that far. I will say I am a stark atheist and refuse to give up those views but I digress. I know many people whom religion has helped a lot and there are many good people who just want a higher power someone to guide them dare I say through life but are untimely good hard working people. Unfortunately on the other we have extremist beliefs and cult like religions which disgrace people who are genuine nice people who unfortunately believe in something which does not exist. I’m not here to argue but I do feel bad when all religious people are grouped together under one generalized hateful term or opinion.
And Mike Rinderer
Amen to that. Oh corse they will never leave them alone those crazy loons, !
I think Leah is still pretty insane. But yeah.
Charles Manson studied Scientology, but said it was too crazy for him.
Lol
What do you think it says about scientology if have someone like Charles Manson saying it's too crazy?
@@silverwindspirit That it *_is_* too crazy.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂
Manson wasn't exactly Mr Sanity!
Just signed up to be a teacher for a well-known nationwide company here in Germany and we had to sign in our contract that we are in no way affiliated or sympathize with Scientology and/or the founder and his ideas lol
The German government seems very wise!

Congrats to everyone who left that evil, ruthless, soulless cult!
I don't understand why anyone would get into that in the first place.
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar Don't mess with the church, just read the books and listen to the cd lectures (get from ebay). When you do that you wonder how the church and the original Scientology can possibly be the same. They aren't The Church has been hijacked by the Deep State operatives since the 1970's. The Deep State is absolutely terrified of Scientology as witness all the articles and videos demonizing it. And those who believe them probably also believe the coronavirus "pandemic" is real too. .
Im guessing that they didn't know that El Ron Hubbard what is a science fiction writer sociopath delusional mental patient ?
thank you, appreciate it
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar
I can answer that.
some people feel the need to find answers and don't just accept what others say (Example... tom cruise)
other people are just plain curious (Example : an intelligent but curious person)
and others are just plain stupid and naive and will accept anything you tell them (Example : Flat earthers and people of the like)
that's why
and in any one of those 3 scenario's are person will likely join
the difference is.....
The first 2 will eventually leave, the last won't
It’s a cult, not a church
There's no difference. But are there solely to swindle your money.
I know. I just get annoyed when people say Scientology is a church :)
BurnLikeAFlame theirs a huge difference. Church's worship the son, the father, and the holy spirit. Masque and Scientology cults worship unicorns and aliens and stuff like that.
Mvcm20 Its all the same because its all fake fantasies
you only got half right, it's all a cult..
It broke my heart when I found out the man I'm dating was disowned from his family and kicked out of the house because he didn't follow them into the Scientology religion at fifteen..
His family must've been crazy as hell... I Hope everything's going ok with him.
My sister had a friend who was almost tricked into joining this cult. Here’s what happened:
She got accepted into this acting school in LA, so her dad took her to check it out. While they were asking her questions, her dad found out that the school was founded by Scientology and all of the faculty were members. He ran into the room, grabbed her, and drove back home before they could brainwash her. So yeah…gotta watch out for that.
Damn bro, honestly you really needs be careful around West Hollywood all the way to the East, watch out for them Scientologists. For real they be walking kinda weird, in a robot like way. They're very pushy when trying to recruit.
It's funny how Scientology uses acting schools to lure in their victims
I’ll bet she threw a fit all the way home… “I hate you daddy!! You don’t understand me!!! You never let me do anything fun!! Waaaaaaaahhh!!!” Having daughters must be terrifying. If she’s older, she better thank her dad for saving her life.
@@babysealsareyummy are you...ok in the head? what a weird perception of the world you have..
@@babysealsareyummy well yes, having children, not just DAUGHTERS, can be difficult. they often don’t understand why their parents make certain choices. (lol, speaking as a young person myself.) but eventually they will understand.
To say Paul Haggis "made fun of" Scientology was very poor wording. He bravely told the world about all the horrible things they did to him.. he didn't make fun of it omg
I have a lot of respect for Leah Remini ...she's definitely doing good things!
Jann Behnke I hope she doesnt get killed off!
Yes I agree with you i have been trying to support her in watching king of queen'"s
She was brought up in it. She left & took her family with her!
Yes but she could be in danger those people have hit men I heard .
L. Ron Hubbard was a marginally successful "SCIENCE FICTION" writer..... Just let that sink in.
He also gives off creepy serial killer vibes. I wouldn't want to be alone with him.
He has written and published THE MOST science fiction of any writer of all time. Yes that one book he wrote is totally non-fiction....cmon now...
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 he abused his wife and ran off with his daughter. Dropping her in a terrible orphanage. Then he told his wife that he killed the daughter. Yeah he was definitely a psychopath
@@sethmiller8620 what you tryin a say Seth miller serial killer?
Also, a crook.
The father of the founder escaped with his wife.... that tells you a lot.
Brace yourself for emails from the Church of Scientology.
LOL

It would just take Tom Cruise to leave to end this cult once and for all. They are friggin batshit crazy.
He'll never leave he's too brainwashed plus he has it good in that cult they worship him and they probably have a shit ton of dirt on him as well.
Cruise will never leave and that’s okay folks. We don’t want him in the real world anyway, he’s way too damaged. Anyway, Scientology needs him to pay for the space ships🛸🛸🛸 when the Aliens 👽 come to bring them far far away forever. We can only hope 🙏that Scientology’s rides 🛸🛸are coming very very soon. 👽
Lucifer666 is a Scientologist.
@@dr6063 even the devil hates Scientologists!
@@EzaVinylAddict no I wasn't hinting at him being gay I don't give a fuck if he's gay or straight each to their own and all that. I mean the cult probably knows all his dirty laundry that he doesn't want getting out. I can't stand Tom Cruise and I refuse to watch his movies after his comments on mental health when he went on Matt Lauer years ago. The only exception is Mission Impossible 2 because I love Ving Rhames as Luthor if he wasn't in it I wouldn't bother
Just watch, now The Scientologists will start a huge smear campaign against Watchmojo. They’ll say that this was the least watched video on UA-cam or something.
MegaSheen15 too late for them. Even The Simpson made an episode about it, without explicit it.
That's impossible. I have the least watched video on UA-cam.
What about that episode of south park, the only thing I know of that happened was Isaac Hayes left who voiced chef because he was a scientologist, then they brutally murdered and got rid of his character in the next season.
They don’t have the money or the power to go after people like that anymore. You have to be a real danger to their bottom line for them to even put up a site about you.
Did Trump take notes from Scientology?
Scientology is like Smoking... the only way to quit is not to start.
You cant quit what you didnt start
Or like the lesson from the movie war games. The only way to win is to not play the game.
Leah’s DocuSeries is addictive .. that’s why I’m here
Same😂🤷♀️
What about Jason Beghe? He went did an interview that was like 2 hours about how the 'church' basically manipulates people. He talked about it in that Going Clear documentary.
A weasel, but not a celebrity!
One of them approached me at college many years ago. Another man witnessed this and asked me about it. He said if I wanted them to leave me alone all I had to do was tell them that I was very poor and had no money. I did that. I made it clear that I could not provide any money and I never heard from them again.
I love what Christopher Reeves did!😂
They tried an e-meter on me in a mall near Purdue where I was pursuing an engineering degree. When I pointed out it was a strain gauge device, they packed up and left.
Hopefully,one day,we can see Tom Cruise,Elizabeth Moss,John Travolta and many more on this list.
Cruise ain't going nowhere he's too brainwashed to see it for the money making scam cult it is.
Oh Lucifer666 - David, is that you?
yea, I would have a lot more respect for them for sure
Just watch South Parks episode on Scientology. You’ll get the picture
@whilesun c This comment has been up for 8 months? It should have something like ten gazillion thumb's up by now! I'm a member of the LDS Church (Mormons) and even I recognize the genius in a lot of what Trey and Matt do. Now if I could only get that Big Tobacco song from "Butt Out" out of my head...
Amen!
"Daaaad, Tom Cruise won't come out of the Closet!!!"
That is something else I'd like to see the end of in my lifetime. I wish all those who left great happiness and and peace.
Thanks for shouting out the bravery of the family members who left, WM! The Church of Scientology is a nightmare organization
I really enjoyed this show well thought out and written, extremely funny.
'Experimenting in self-help" is different from wholeheartedly embracing a belief/religion and jumping in with both feet, then alienating all the people who love you, who you care for.
thank god Brad Pitt had common sense... we would have all sorts of groupies joining Scientology because Tom and Brad would be members
A nightmare
Should change the title to “celebrities who almost joined Scientology”.
This cult makes my blood boil
I saw Going Clear. Haggis' outburst is my favorite scene.
You forgot Jason Beghe. He is a top A-lister actor and MAJORLY speaks out against Scientology, even hosting seminars, like Leah.
So proud of Ms. Remini and not just being brave enough to leave but to expose this so called church for all the crazy, criminal things they do. I am sure these people that are vocal are being watched closely by this group.
Sorry folks. not a church
Jason Lee has been in most of Kevin Smith's movies, those are classics and most definitely should not forgotten.
The reason I became fascinated with Scientology was because I took the first "course" in the 70s when I was 19. Did some more research, not easy without the internet, and made it my mission to get people OUT. I would HARDLY say I was a former Scientologist although apparently for this top 10 I would have. Worked for one, though, who was OT VIII. Got him to see the truth it was a cult. Took the class with a famous musician who is also out now.
U mean who left a cult
The Mad Hatter It's definitely a religion. Christianity is a cult.
David Lavish dude I'm not even religions but I think if the main goal of ur religion is to brainwash,blackmail and extort Peaple for somthing that can be compared to star wars I think it classifies as a cult in mine and many others eyes
You have been hearing bad things about Scientology by the media and politians and the sheep who believe what these people us in Scientology refer to as merchants of chaos who grow richer by causing misery to the poor.
Scientology is all about helping people and making the world a better place for everyone. It is still a very new religion and the only major religion to emerge in the 20th century. It is also the only major religion to still have the voice of it's founding fathers preserved.
Our founder L Ron Hubbard was an amazing man who basically did it all in his lifetime and was the most prolific writer or all time who produced over 5,000 writings and gave about 3,000 lectures related to Scientology.
L Ron Hubbard is without question the greatest philospoher of all time and his books are actually very accessible and if you read even one of them it will open your eyes and drastically change your life. Scientologists also hat Psychiatristy and are going all they can to put an end to Psychiatristic abuse😁
David Lavish let just say each to there own truce
@@davelavish8580 I'll pray for you, you're in a cult
In the musical film Sweet Charity that came out in the 1960s, Sammy Davis played the cult leader of a group called "The Music of Life", where he sang about the advice his father gave him as a young boy: "He said 'son, there are a mill-ion pidgeons, waiting to be hooked on new re-li-gions!!'
Wait. No Leonard Cohen? He wrote "Famous Blue Raincoat" mocking going clear
SEINFELD WAS A SCIENTOLOGIST?! wow I didn't know Lisa Marie Presley bailed from the church
He wasn't.
Back when the leaders father ran away from the cult. That's when she woke up.
I'm curious, has watch mojo been labeled a suppressive person. Because after watching that documentary this list seems like it would be enough to be on their open season list
Any organization that requires loyalty to the organization over family, has no interest in truth but is only interested in corporate fidelity, financial or otherwise.
The issue of individuals that disown family for loyalty to the organization raises one question: What do they fear he/she will lose by leaving.
Leah is doing just fine, love her 💖👏
What kind of church has a leader that beats his staff lol
Shouldn't Jason Beghe be on that list? He has been calling out Scientology long before Leah Remini was. Plus he's Hank Voight!
I am repulsed by Scientology but at the same time fascinated by it.
Its a cult waiting to strike i sware to god its scary af reminds me of sartorious from yugioh
I did some work for them and still was crazy... Taking pictures of everything i did.
Scientology does not sound like a religion
Ignorance is the mother of all religions.

Prestley- I would rebel nobody tells me what to do
Scientology- hold my E meter.
Here in San Francisco in the 1970's young Scientologists would hang out on busy street corners downtown, "FREE Personality Test!" So a lot of us would take it. This was of course before any of us knew what Scientology actually was. I was in my late teens and after the test they offered me a job; WOO! HOO! I needed the work at the time. I went through the introduction and everything was fine - they did not say much about the real stuff behind it all. Then they said, "Now, you can't tell anyone about any of this. You understand that, right?" No, I didn't understand that. In any event, my day was over, I said "Bye-bye" and never set foot in anything like that again. Bye-bye, Scientology!
Leah Remini did such a great job of ripping Scientology they started the Network
I watched the documentary on Scientology, it's full blown craziness,why would anyone sell their lives to that, the Scientology crowd tried to give me a personality test, Dianetics I think it was called, I read through the test beforehand and just as well I did, I made my excuses and got the hell out of there, phew
Leach is a brave woman to become outspoken against scientology.
This is why I don’t have a religion

Actor Jeffrey Tambor known for a lot of movie rolls like he played the mayor of Whoville in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the one that stars Jim Carrey), wasn't mentioned in this video. In 2007, he was reported to be a Scientologist. However, in February 2008, Jeffrey Tambor expressed concern about "Internet reports" about his alleged involvement with Scientology and stated that he "took some Scientology classes at one time, studied Scientology for a while, but no more. I have nothing against it, but I am no longer a Scientologist." That's what he said during an interview many years ago.
She’s a hero for her effort
Tom Cruise doesn’t talk to his own Daughter becuase of Scientology , enough said
Cruise is also very celebate.
I almost became a Jehovah Witness.
Now I am an Atheist, and a much happier person.
If somebody needs religion to get through life, then that is OK by me. BUT!!! If somebody thinks that they need to force their religion on me, then they have a problem.
Jason Lee was also in kevin Smith stuff and a pro skater before
Interesting that Mimi Rogers left Scientology around 2010-2012..she introduced Cruise to it and now he's their national boy toy. Cruise and Rogers stayed in contact after their divorce Mimi said on a talk show and i believe became something like a godfather to her first kid. Now that she left Scientology i wonder if he even speak to her.

Leah's got some great knockers
Was Nicole Kidman never officially a Scientologist? Seems weird she doesn’t even rate a mention when you include Tom Cruise’s other exes... even weirder that Tom would’ve married her had she not become one.
She never fully bought into Scientology and initially in their marriage Cruise was less and less active in the "church". Top Scientologists like Miscavige convinced Cruise to divorce Kidman. He took her kids away and turned them against her because she rejected Scientology.

Surprised this video is still up
I fooled the E-Meter too my first time. It was easy. Just keep hands relaxed. So much to say ... but busy so ... yeah. I did run into Juliette Lewis and John Travolta at the celebrity center. Beautiful place to hang out ... except the Scientology part
It's really just an ohm-meter with a made-up display.
It’s all about mind control,scary stuff
The John Oliver doc is quite good.
Crazy-ologists.
When Charles Manson declared Scientology was too crazy for him , that should have summed it up completely !
I still don't get why so many celebs still talk about Tom Cruise as if he's sane... He still gets invited to talk shows etc.... Why? Watching these talk show hosts sucking up to him and laughing it up (that psycho laughter!) makes me sick
If they would be against Scientology wouldn't they at least try to bring up the subject and ask him the hard questions? Every religion seems to be fair game to mock... Except for when one of their guests has that particular religion... And remember when Trump was running? They were so nice and polite to him... Same thing
At least Matt and Trey from South Park didn't give a shit about peer pressure... They just exposed them for the nutcases they are
And following a crazy cult is one thing... Their business... But they're way more evil than your average Christian
And a bit less evil than a Templar Knight.
Once a legend says, *"Want to make easy money, build a religion"*

Scientology is Banned in Germany . Official reason "we saw this in the past". Says everything !
It is not, they even have a scientology church over here in berlin.
The Nazis loved them some science specifically eugenics
forti tude they also have one in Hamburg
Scientology is NOT considered a religion in Germany. There are many countries that merely tolerate is as an organization but will not give it religious status. And others that consider it a cult. It should be stripped of its 501(c)3 status!

He's brainwashed. Can't help it

He's an idiot!
I wish Tom Cruise wasn’t a Scientologist.
Tom Cruise got to stand beside their current leader, David Miscavige, because he paid the most money! He found an audience that he paid millions of dollars for to stroke his ego!
I heard the story of why Cruise got into Scientology, and I can see his loyalty in one way.
Cruise is dyslexic. Now, this affects your reading skills, and hindered him when he was starting out as an actor. He turned down roles because he was misreading the writing on the page.
His then wife, Mimi Rogers, who was a Scientologist, suggested a course which would help his reading, and "cure" his dyslexia.
Apparently, the method of reading he learnt in the Scientology class helped him greatly, which helped him to read scripts and audition for more role, thus his success.
So, you see, he gives Scientology the credit for his movie success. So he started attending, but because of auditing sessions, there might be many secrets they now blackmail him with.
So I can understand him joining initially. I heard that the basic courses at the bottom are normal enough, but they indoctorine you to get you to pay money for the higher courses.
Tom Cruise should be boycotted for approving of the disgusting methods The Cult of Scientology imposes on those who leave the cult or don't approve of its teachings. The IRS should revoke its tax-exempt status. Bill Clinton must be a Scientologist.
@@dhenderson1810 I feel kind of sorry for him, I think he's brainwashed.

Any church that you can’t walk in or walk out of your own volition should be avoided 🚩-
Judaism fits that criteria, they typically try to exlude you from joining because it is a racist blood thing for them, they believe they are the special people because of certain blood line.
JESUS SETS YOU FREE ! There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Romans 8; 1
Any church should be avoided...
You mean BANNED
Why is this cult, still classified as a religion? From what I've read, there is absolutely no spiritual teachings in the organization.
Marty.R Woodcock every religon is a cult,spiritual or not
No it didn't. Scientology is still 100% tax exempt. Has been since 1993. For some reason social media got it wrong a couple of years ago, but Snopes steered me right.
Other countries dont recognize it as a religion, US still does. The whole thing is based out of US to begin with.
They bullied the IRS (!) by filing 2400 lawsuits against individual agents and hiring PIs to investigate them.
They out-IRS'd the IRS!
Claiming to be a Christian & Scientologist 🤔 that’s some matter of contradiction miss Lewis‼️
Leah's tv series "Scientology and it's Aftermath" is really good. It's so heartbreaking. Leah and Mike and all their guests are so courageous.
Not as big a fan of the documentary as you, I think. But, it provides a lot of interesting insight into the mindset of Scientology. The thing I found most interesting were the refutation letters that the cult provided. Their claims against their critics sounded rather similar. I have a hard time believing everyone who left and were critical were all on the verge of being kicked out. Yet, that seemed to be in every letter they sent.
I agree i also love Jason Beige documentary on UA-cam it's fantastic i can't get enough of it LOL
It’s amazing, and sad. She laid it all out. God bless her.
I had no idea Scientology was so insidious before binge watching Leah’s show on Netflix. Never encountered Scientologists myself, but I had Jehovah’s witnesses try and recruit me. They get weird and low-key try to bully you into joining when you politely decline. As in “escorting them from my residence in the most forceful way I could without resorting to actual violence while making it clear violence was about to ensue if they did not” level bullying.
@@corneliuscrewe677 Jehovah's Witnesses are just as bad as Scientology.

Scott Cox Haha but everyone knows Tom cruise is a fudge packer
@@pretzelstick320 Not necessarily true. Maybe he's strictly an anal sex bottom or is only into oral.
@@jvhobson Im gonna go with child molesters an worse ? ? Who knows ?
@@ninamartinez2239 Right
Exactly. And William S Burroughs has committed enormously illegal activities, of which he was very candid about nevertheless, but nothing he would call immoral (as he had his own code of ethics and morality). It makes you wonder what dirt they have on a lot of these celebrities.
Nicole Kidman should be #1 on this list. The story of how she was indoctrinated into Tom Cruise's life by Miscavige and then villainized after she left Scientology, and how this adversely affected their children gives her the top spot. She also connected with Katie after her divorce as they had a lot to talk about.
Read leahs book...Katie was gung ho at first....was mean to Leah
@@pjj9491 Thanks! I will see if I can get a copy.
I reacted with “Leah who?” Her face looked familiar but it took a moment to place her. Brad Pitt, Jerry Seinfeld, Nicole K might have more notoriety, but it depends upon who you ask.
I thought so too but was she ever heart broken when he filed for divorce... she's so much better off today.
After Tom Cruise Divorce ALL of the other Women became his Mistresses!!!
It's an insult to use the word "church" in reference to scientology
Yes even scientology shouldn't be saddled with that name, lol
They use it to get charity status and avoid paying taxes.
Panda Pup no
Panda Pup how is Christianity dangerous? How is Buddhism dangerous? How is Islam dangerous?
@@xx_somescenecath0lic_xx888 ny belief system can become violent if people decide to use it for their own needs. Even as a Christian, I can admit that we have done many crappy things (But saying that all religions are cults is plain BS)
You know, I am a Catholic and I have my criticisms of the Catholic Church-but I’m not worried that they will ever investigate me, or try to ruin my life if I don’t agree with them on everything they say. Something just isn’t right about a religion that can’t handle criticism of itself.
What the Catholic Church has done to my fellow Irish people is just as bad it's just a pedophile tourist cult send pedos caught to different areas and saying nothing that's sick 🤒 and they wonder why the church is died in Ireland 🇮🇪
Nah they will just defile your son if not careful.
Kathleen, unfortunately you are in a cult too. It is just more subtil. Worship Christ alone. Not the pope who calls himself the vicar of Christ. He is a devil.
It's true Kathleen. No other religions or beliefs went to this extreme to stop people critized their beliefs. This is a sadistic cult behaviour, fanbase going nuts. If JK Rowling starts something like this too to generates money, she will be highly successful too - worldwide. Sad, but true.
Kathleen McCarthy clearly you’re unfamiliar with the history of the Catholic Church.
