I grew up being raised by narcissistic mother. Hearing what it is like to be a child of Scientologist I dare to say my mother was a Scientologist not knowing such organisation even exists. To escspe from my mother's Cult- like household and to disconnect from her I had to move to another country. Now dealing with PTSD and seveer depression I am building my live back. My Heart goes to all children and adults who have to go through this nightmare ❤
Love listening to these on your podcast channel. So good to have you back
Ian has impressed me with his path to 'recovery' - this was an absolute great conversations. Much thanks to you both!
Excellent interview. I can totally relate to Ian’s insight and experience with his Scientology parents. I’m a second generation kid from the 70/80’s at the Toronto org. I’ve been out of Scientology for almost 40 years and I’m still processing the aftermath of its impact on me. 🇨🇦
Great way to start the day.
Hope all good Mr R. Keep up the good works.
This was such an amazing interview !!! Can’t wait for the next one.
Great that your producing content again Mike ❤
Very interesting interview. As a never in, it must be a struggle for former Scientologists to rid the themselves of all the teachings and mind control.
Always enjoy your interviews Mike. 💕🇨🇦
Great conversation! Glad you’re back posting. Missed you!
Mike, I really enjoy your podcast. Your guest are always interesting and informative. I also like your calm and gentle way of interviewing. Hope you are doing well.💗
Great chat with Ian Mike. He’s got such an intelligent way of speaking about the process of healing after leaving. I’ll be waiting for part 2😊❤
Great conversation between two very interesting and kind people
Interesting interview, thanks to both of you..
👏👏👏 thank you Mike, for speaking with Ian 😊 I appreciate Ian’s critical thinking skills 🙏🏼 thank you -whitness
As a fellow person on the spectrum, Ian's stories of how he used the text against the supervisors because he was following the logic presented, sounds very much like what i did to me evangelical parents with the Bible. Thank you for sharing the interview. I don't come from scientology but many aspects of Ian's story really resonate with points in my own. I've been feeling pretty down and alone and this helped a lot. So thank you.
Ty Mike
I hope Ian comes back for another podcast. Very good information today.
Great interview, Mike! Hope you’re doing well.
Hey Mike, thanks for all the content. I’m been fascinated by Scientology for a long time and have really enjoyed hearing your story and listening to you interview others.

I have an almost boundless level of respect for Ian for being one of the few or maybe the only ex-Scientologist streamer to acknowledge and defend LGTBQIA people and issues on his channel

Mike - a question. Is Clearwater named after the Scientology cult or is this coincidental?
Completely coincidental , it existed prior to Scientology's arrival.
