    There's a Scientology center not far from where I live. My first experience with it, was this woman asking about my life, asking questions likes do you feel depressed, do you feel alone, are you doing bad in school. I was a teenager at the time, and it felt predatory. I'm glad I never got in.

      @ luis cortazar, my sister and I had a similar experience. I was 21 and my sister in her teens. They stopped us for a personality test, and because we were just curious, we took it. When we were taken to a room and given a 100 multiple choice test, I regretted the decision since it would take a while. Questions began to repeat but were being worded differently. I caught on, we finished the test, and I received a call a week later. The man was very adamant on how we should see our results. I told him we did it for fun and not to call ever again.

She risked not having communication what so ever with her husband, sister, mother, step father, friends, and brother in-law by leaving the church. You should look into what they do to these people who decide to leave. There are people who legit try to physically escape the place and get brought back.

      Tiger TV They're both fucking brave. I don't know why people always feel the damn need to put one thing over the other as if they can't both be described by the same adjective. Also, realistically, those who follow Islam the way they're supposed to should only experience family disappointment (not that it's not hurtful). That being said, again, something shouldn't be reduced to nothing merely because there's something else that can be bad. Would you walk up to a person crying about a family member dying from cancer and say "what's really sad is that there are people who deal with more pain than you. There are people who were raped and brutally murdered"? Are both pains not valid? Can the act of leaving a horrible cult and those who leave Islam (who actually have consequences) both be brave?

      @poochakutti1936 7 років тому +6

      It's not a fucking rebuttal. I am saying she doesn't care about the religious side of it. Scientology is a dead horse in terms of public awareness . Better and more rigorous treatments can be found elsewhere. She is obviously quite misinformed about it and her history with it is shady at best and now using it as a cash-cow to retain her celebrity status. You can believe what you want, but this derivative show is not gonna change anything aside her from her bank balance.

And just because other people have come forward with their own stories, books and movies, doesn't mean no one else should! In fact, I didn't know that Scientology was an actual Cult, until Leah came forward with her own story and history of the church! Her show is absolutely riveting, imo! No other person has had me so interested in this cult the way Leah has! I love her A&E series and imo, it's probably going to be the biggest blow to ever hit the church!

Sure I always thought Scientology was weird, but I just figured that was because I wasn't in the religion...I figured all religions are weird, especially to outsiders! I had heard it was a cult...but I didn't realize that it was An Actual Cult! I am shocked at the information coming out of that show! Everybody I know is glued to their television when this show is on! I've even spoke to people in grocery lines, who are absolutely intrigued by this series! This church is coming to its end!

      I doubt it will ever happen. Leah Remini has said the reason why she hasn't reached out to Katie Holmes. She said of course she doesn't know, but she is pretty sure that in order for Katie to have left the church without incident to her or her child, she probably had to agree to something where she never speaks out against the religion and cannot be in contact with suppressive people. While Leah doesn't know this for sure, she doesn't want to put Katie in a compromised position by reaching out to her. I'm guessing though that since Katie not only left the church but divorced Tom Cruise, who they basically hail as their King, that she probably did have to agree to something like that in order to keep her and her child safe.

Ron Hubbard. I was part of a cover band that volunteered to play at a scientology "event" where speakers praised LRH, gave testimonials, etc., plus there was refreshments and us playing current cover songs of the day. Anyway, the major thing they were promoting that day was Hubbard's brand new music that he wrote, performed and recorded. The speaker really talked it up, said it would revolutionize music forever. As a serious musician who studied and played multiple genres, I and the rest of my band were quite intrigued. I was thinking, "well, with all those trillions of lives he now can commandingly recall and use, this could be freakin' amazing". Like Bach or Mozart times 100, right? Well, after the big buildup, it was debuted. I truly was shocked at how bad it was. A very simple, cliche' piano instrumental that could have been found in beginning of a Hanon method book, Level ONE! As it played, I looked at the twisted faces around me, most of them trying real hard not to believe their ears, some diehards maybe rationalizing it was somehow "beyond" their understanding, but most knew, it was pretty hard not to. Definite shades of the old story "The Emperor's New Clothes" were happening. The musician in me became too embarrassed to want to be there any longer, so I left and soon started questioning what else isn't for real. Today, I'm particularly grateful to that selfish narcissist and his dumb little song, it cleared away enough of the fog to free my mind (and my ass did promptly follow).

      Scientology is under surveillance by the government and the members feel discriminated because of that and the fact, that people and the public see them as a cult and refuse to employ them or to work with them.

      The Scientology "organization" basically scammed the IRS into declaring them a church. Basically they organized all their followers to file thousands of bogus lawsuits against the IRS as independent suits. The court system couldn't declare them to be a single class because they were individual suits. So, the IRS had all these lawsuits and had to keep hiring more and more lawyers to defend itself. Once these ass hats had the IRS over a barrel like that, they approached the head of the IRS and said "call us a church, and I'll make all these suits disappear" and that's exactly what happened. What SHOULD have happened is Congress should have passed some legislation that allowed the courts to "batch" any law suits that are brought by members of the same organization against a federal bureau, so they could all be thrown out at the same time. These scumbags used a loophole in our legal system to essentially get the federal government to sanction a conspiratorial racket as a "church". The whole thing should be dismantled under RICO statutes.

      ​@@mariahenrique7891We should care because the churches aren't currently TAXED in America. You want to hoard money and properties, pay your taxes.

    "What's the difference between a cult & a religion? In a cult there's a guy running it, who knows it's a scam and he's pulling all the strings. In a religion, that guy's dead."

      L Ron Hubbard is dead also so by that definition it's a religion.
