- Have you ever wondered what it takes to leave one of the most secretive organizations in the world? Join Claire and me as we sit down with Katherine Olsen, a former Sea Org member who devoted 27 years of her life to Scientology's elite order, until her departure in 2021. From the early '90s to the present day, we compare our experiences and draw a vivid picture of how the Sea Org has transformed. Our conversation is enriched with live audience interactions, global shoutouts, and exciting giveaways, including a special surprise from Katherine Olsen herself.
We'll take you behind the scenes of significant moments that have rocked the Sea Org, such as Debbie Cook's explosive open letter and the Anonymous protests that shook the foundations of Scientology. Katherine shares her emotional journey of leaving the organization, recounting the intense battles with indoctrination and the manipulative tactics designed to keep members from escaping. We also delve into the harsh policies surrounding family planning, recruitment, and labor, providing a comprehensive look at life inside the Sea Org and the formidable obstacles faced by those trying to leave.
As we wrap up, we explore the evolving dynamics within Scientology, discussing event attendance statistics and the surprising acts of kindness experienced by ex-members in the outside world. Personal anecdotes and reflections on the internal scandals and labor practices reveal the significant barriers to leaving the Sea Org. With a speculative look at potential future leadership and a fun giveaway segment, this episode offers an eye-opening exploration of the Sea Org from multiple perspectives. Don't miss this comprehensive and compelling discussion that promises to enlighten and engage.

Please make more of these podcasts. We never have enough of you. We are matching so much reality being in Scientology and in the SO. ❤❤❤
Yes please Mark and Claire
This was very interesting. Thanks Marc, Claire and Katherine.
Awesome video, loved hearing Katherine’s perspective! Another lovely, genuine and kind person finally free but so sad that the SO took so many years worth of potential opportunities for growth, education, family time, earn a decent amount of money or even just a good night’s sleep! Keep up the good work guys we could see the SO collapse in our lifetimes! 💜🤞🏼
Great to see all three of you, very informative as always. Thank you.
So great to see and hear Katherine looking so good and healthy. Thanks Katherine for getting to see your hubby, hi Katherine’s hubby. Love all you guys.
Always so good to see you Claire. Both you and Marc have been through hell and you have emerged triumphant. I’m sure it’s been so hard at times so I really love to see your smiling faces. As a person who has recovered from being in the JW cult I appreciate it all the more. ❤
Oh snap! Just finished the replay and saw my name! Thank you guys so much!❤
Our pleasure!
Loved this 😊😊😊
Excellent again Young Claire and Marc. (Mirandela, Portugal) 🌞
Watching the replay from Ireland 🇮🇪☘️ Hi Headleys 👋
Marc, in the words of Depeche Mode, just can’t get enough.
They keep you so busy, tired, under pressure and on edge that if you think about leaving the thought vanishes before you could possibly act on it. Which is why people may think about it 10-20 years before doing anything, even a phone call.
I always hate it when I miss you live….but this is a nice treat for a Monday! Roll Tide!!!
Roll tide y’all! 😊

I’m behind on this video but I saw my question was answered. Thank you Katherine, Claire and Marc!!!
Our pleasure!
More please!
Oh yay I just saw this. Okay I’m saving this for my morning drive in the morning
I was in and out of a Class V organization for training and in that time there were one Sea Org mission after another inspecting, writing secret reports in the telex room by themselves etc etc etc....Something that I could not fail to notice was that the female SO missionaires were all, for the most part, really good looking, but I never said that out loud to anyone, never, ever....Fast forward a couple of decades and I become friends with a guy whose family owns property around Clearwater, where he winters, spending his time fishing...This guy knows something about the C of S, which is unusual, most civilians nowadays are bored with the subject and don't have strong opinions one way or the other, except that they know Tom Cruise is involved. But my buddy, telling me stories about being in Clearwater, mentioned without my prompting him, how it seemed to him that female SO members in Clearwater were universally, really good-looking...What's up with that?
Hello from South Carolina
Hi London Canada

Claire@blownforgood.com
@@blownforgood thanks, i wrote you
❤ BFG!! Hi from DC!
Hey! I was just there a few weeks ago. It was hot!
@@blownforgood it’s been a gross summer here! But we’re enjoying a fake fall the past few days. Getting warmer mid-week.
How are public Scientologists treated? Are they abused? Disaffected? What if they or their family are gay? How do they relate to people that are non Scientologists? Law enforcement? Clergy?
Can you please enable auto-captions in the settings for this video?
Done!
👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
Most of these videos expose what happens to sea org members, but what is the typical experience of someone not at that level? There's got to be something "appealing" to get people involved in the first place.
Might want to put a link to Claire's and Katherine's channels in the video description
Done!
❤❤❤🦘🦘🦘

Confess everything you did bad in an abusive cult. 🤔
Only supposed to confess the things that may look bad for the cult and you after you leave…
You all just recycle the same person.
Catching the replay from greenwich ny. #bfg. had to work.. marc..just finished your books. Very well written
Awesome! Thank you!
@blownforgood what are your thoughts about the linken park singer supporting Danny masterson
still articulating...
love to know - if they had treated you both like human beings, did you believe in scientgy enough to have stayed? simplified version of a longer question
