    I had a cousin that lived in the center in Los Angeles, she was sent to Toms home to refinish some type of woodwork. She refused to go back after the 2nd day, Tom had her sent to the Reformation center in Florida. She was there for 13 days and was forced to do labor with only 1 meal per day and was not allowed to speak to anyone, not allowed to bathe and had to sleep on a concrete floor with no pillow or blanket. She told me this info when I pick her up for her fathers funeral. I was followed to my home and for the 3 days she stayed at my home there was a car parked down the road. The car went away after I returned her to LA. She apparently married a guy that was security in the center. They apparently fled to the East Coast and are still living under different identities to this day. That cult is scary.

      Yeah Leah is okay for getting out and her concern for David Miscarriage's absent wife imo was genuine HOWEVER she's still actually a scientologist... She said it's taught her a lot of good life lessons and I can understand that HOWEVER,, the whole thing was invented by a lunatic who wrote bad science fiction stories and never had an honest job in his life and focused his whole being on scamming people... I also believe that in a way psychiatry as a profession is more about making money and expanding their business by basically making stuff up,, social anxiety disorder? I would call it just another dimension of uncomfortable normalcy,, but these people want to fill people with drugs for all kinds of things that ordinarily would be treated with counseling ..
      The sort of a thing is kind of like the prison industrial complex, trying different ways of making more money on a sector of society that one generally does not want to see growing.... A lobbying group named ALEC,, American legal exchange council,, for instance, lobby lawmakers for stiff sentences for drugs and just about everything else, "necessitating" long prison terms in for-profit prisons that is of course all paid for by the taxpayer while still sleazing profit off of commercial enterprises that operate inside the prison itself,, usually some sort of small industry or even customer service for online and telephone...

      Leah did a fantastic job, but I knew they used brain washing techniques. They tried to brainwash my 14 year old daughter who was taken to an orientation by a friend. Being of average intelligence, when my daughter told me they wouldn't let her go to the bathroom, eat or even drink water for four hours of orientation, I forbid her to return. I explained they were using brainwashing techniques. and she understood, so that was that. Easy peasy. Then I did research L. Ron Hubbard, and it was an eye opener. Tom Cruz is an absolute idiot!!!

    Hello from the South of France,
    At the beginning of the 90s, while I was working in Paris (I was born there), the "Scientologists" tried to establish themselves in France.
    Their method of recruiting was quite vicious since they distributed flyers at the exit of the subway entrances in the form of an IQ test where it was mentioned nowhere that it was Scientology.
    Once it was completed, it was enough to contact a telephone number to obtain the test results.
    I remember at the time I called that number for the results. I was then given an appointment the same evening at an address in Batignolles (in the 9ᵉ arrondissement of Paris).
    I had gone there without suspecting more than that because I had been confirmed by telephone that everything was free.
    When I arrived at the address, I realized there was a problem. The building where I had an appointment seemed to be an old restored church, and more importantly, was inscribed in full, "Church of Scientology."
    I immediately understood that there was a problem. However, I went to the appointment anyway because I was curious and amused to see how they would try to sell me sales pitches.
    I did not wait once I entered the premises. A person immediately brought me to an office where a man took care of me. He told me that my tests were excellent but wanted me to pass others.
    Before that, he offered to watch a movie and took me to a room specially equipped for this purpose. A large screen and row of seats were identical to those in a movie theater.
    The film told the life of the aviator Ron Hubbard who later became a science fiction author and developed a revolutionary method to surpass himself humanly.
    After the film, I returned to my interlocutor, accompanied by a young woman who had looked after me before and after the screening.
    Everything seemed to be settled like clockwork. There, I was made to retake tests which, after analysis, showed my strengths and weaknesses. I listened to all this with great amusement. Until someone offered to sell me Ron Hubbard's book. I declined the offer despite the insistence of my interlocutor, who wanted to be persuasive.
    From there, the phone calls multiplied. They kept calling to invite me to come back and buy the book. I got angry and threatened to file a harassment complaint if they kept calling me. So, they finally gave up.
    A few years later, the Church of Scientology found itself in court (1995), was condemned for fraud in an organized gang, and declared an undesirable sect with a ban on practicing on the territory by the French authorities.
    Peace, folks. ☮😉

    My best friend’s parents were both in Scientology from before I was 10 (about 1968). The parents would often go do their auditing in their bedroom behind closed doors. I never knew what that was about until later. Their daughter, my best friend from 4th grade, and I were Christians, often attending church together in high school.
    She never did anything with Scientology until years later after high school graduation and her first marriage ended in divorce within the first couple years-her parents grabbed hold of her and got her into the Seaorg in LA when she was about 21. She couldn’t leave. She couldn’t see or talk to me or any of her other friends. We never heard from her again. Our close lifelong friendship abruptly and completely ended. A full blown cult brainwashing occurred from which she never escaped. Sad and infuriating.

    I haven’t watched a Tom Cruise movie since Lawrence Wright’s book Going Clear was published. Before the documentary, before Leah and her shows. The book detailed how Scientology traffics humans and many work on TC properties or vehicles. He participated in the abuse as Leah detailed what she saw first hand at his home. Also in Leah’s fantastic book, when she found Suri who was an infant crying on the bathroom floor at Tom and Katie’s wedding reception and Tom’s sister and other Scientologists were standing around doing nothing. Leah stormed into the kitchen and got her a bottle and demanded that they feed her. They treat babies as adults in babies’ bodies, their thetan isn’t a baby. It’s child abuse! I was so happy when Katie got away. She saw what happened to Nicole and her kids and luckily has a father who is a family law attorney. I was ecstatic when they blindsided TC and Scientology!

I was ordered to report to the commissary to be part of a pandering studio clack as (midget - no more than 5’5” in heels) Cruise was given a $300,000 Mercedes by Sherry Lansing, then head of production. Quite a bizarre photo op fiasco. Production couldn’t find anyone who cared about him. We had nothing to do with the guy but we had to pretend we deified him. I did have to cope with his sister, tho. The entitlement was appalling. I had to blind call some tiny theater in the Midwest to have six seats for the premiere of Mission Impossible roped off for her. Imagine me calling some poor ticket taker and convincing them I was calling from Paramount in Hollywood to demand that they lose the profit of those seats on opening night for the benefit of egotists - who never even showed up. I did it but I lost all respect for Hollywood by working in it for 30 years. God bless Far West TX! 🤣

    Back in 1988 in Oslo, Norway(I was only 18),- Me & Bente,- my bf at the time,- where walking down Carl Johans street(The Main Street in Oslo) when we met this guy whom asked us to joinhim back at this office to do some "personality tests". They separate us, took me in to a space on the ground floor. After an hour or so, discussing me and the "test",- I exploded in anger. This didn't make any sense to me at all. I stood up, found the door LOCKED, unlocked it and started shouting for my friend. I ran around and up to the second floor where I did find her in another Locked office space. She was heartbroken in TEARS!!! I grabbed her and dragged her out of there. Shouted back to them: " Leave us alone you guys are insane. They tried halfheartedly to stop me, but my mind was made up. We was on our way out of there and we never looked back. She thanked me,- cause they had broken her in ONE hour. OMG. I'm so thankful to this day and keep warning everyone I meet about this. Puh...

      I have copies in DVD and VHS. Unfortunately, and you may or may not agree, the digitally remastered version on DVD is an abomination. Adding all the CGI effects, especially humans takes away, heck, DESTROYS, the ominous feeling of emptiness, from both the physical and mental emptiness of their dystopian underground existence. The emptiness, for me, conveys the utter despair to which the human race had devolved. Adding the massive CGI population erodes that feeling completely for me. Like it's a thriving, successful, population.

    They had this game they would play, "My cult, was worse than your cult."
    They would compete and the rest of us would score. They were in a dead heat for 3 years. When I got a new job, my last request from my supervisor was, "replace me with an ex Jehovah's Witness, those guys need somebody new to commiserate with."
    Honestly, I think those 2 guy becoming friends was the best thing that could have happened to either of them. The rest of us couldn't believe what they had been through. The things they said were so bizarre to us. Yet, it was completely normal in their old life.

They really wanted my repro skills as it wasn’t that common back then. I had a lot of print work experience. After I started working for them, they were paying me in “credits “which was nothing but BS for not really anything, and let’s try and keep as much of that as we can by getting you to buy our junk. the only thing I got from them was a book because I felt sorry for the poor guy who kept trying to get me to buy something and I said well I’ll check it out and I bought the book and it was stupid. Who in their right mind is going to think sci-fi is real in the case that they had was ridiculous. It was all aliens and garbage, and really stupid. They had an office that they kept in pristine condition and had photographs of L Ron Hubbard and his wife on the walls and on the desk and I remember the door had a frosted glass from the middle part of the door to the top. The rest of the door was white. Kind of reminded me of the old fashion doors that she was seeing the doctors office from the 40s 50s and so forth. I was told that they kept the office ready to go so when L Ron Hubbard got there and he could be there at any time that it was all set for him. I didn’t find out so many years later that L Ron Hubbard died in 1985. Like I said it looks stupid. The whole thing seems stupid in like a gimmick to me and I didn’t last of the job because I didn’t like being screwed around. I was a young mother and I didn’t have time for their mess. It definitely had a cold feeling to it. Their eyes were glazed over and they were just strange. My immediate boss seemed like an old hippie really.

He was very friendly to a 19yr old SMU student who was with me and my 10yr old daughter. The older was a gorgeous young lady so he was all smiles and happy to speak to her but would not say anything to my daughter, not even an autograph. I'm not going into this any deeper...he's not worth the time or the upset caused by his rudeness. He is not well and certainly not a good person.

    My late brother to whom I was so close growing up, became a confirmed Scientologist and he became an AUDITOR for this cult. My brothet literally became weird and truly "out of his tree". He used so many "key words" to entice membership in the cult. My family life became destroyed through this cult invading our normal family life and also it was difficult having a normal family relationship with a once normal and fun-filled brother. His personality changed in a spooky way and he became very aggressive and distant from me. After a few years (4)
    Of him being an auditor in this cult and he became a CLEAR we became arch enemies, he tirned against me and suggested that I attend a Funny farm. He tried to convince me I was a nut case!
    Disagreeing with him was taboo. So, fast forward, for about 40 years my once marvellous brother and I became enemies - truly by disagreeing with him.

      Why did I make this statement? I have been in the same exact situation Tom was in! And there is nobody around that will listen to you. I takes a situation like Diana's to bring your situation to the general public! I have done something similiar. It's a tough situation to be in! And I wanted OUT! I was ready to do anything to get them out of my life. I wonder if most high profile people that have joined the church was merely a way to escape the church. Just think about it. I still have to hide from my situation, but it's nowhere as bad as it was at one point 25 years ago.

    Tom Cruise was very rude to a good friend of mine who was his #1 Fan. This girl was crazy about him. She was constantly talking about how great an actor he was, how wonderful his movies were. Then she actually got the chance to meet him when he was doing publicity for a film in our city. She was so excited, then he body shamed her as he gave her an autograph. In front of many people! He loudly proclaimed, "I don't date fat women!" She had asked for an autograph, not a date! She was horrified, embarrassed and was totally over him in that instant. Can you imagine how heart broken she was? She came straight to me and told me the story, while sobbing hysterically. I've never watched another one of his films since. From what you are saying in this video, he is very unhappy with his own life. You are correct, he is NOT a nice person at all!

    It’s really great now that people are coming out about this. In fact there’s a guy who stands around on Hollywood Boulevard taunting the center and really getting away with a lot. I am from the old, old school. My brother was a very big Scientologist in Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s, I believe he literally went back to the 50s. He knew L Ron Hubbard and the whole family were in the org members. If I mention his name, I’m sure some old timers will know who I’m talking about he used to lecture on Saturday nights.
    What hell my father and my family went through in the 70s. What hell I went through as a young child, the abuse that I dealt with and the psychological distress. It wasn’t like my family was very healthy to begin with, but this was so much.
    For those that go back along way, you may remember his name and I’ll just use the first name, Seaton T.

    So Tom Cruise does not want people to know about the opulence of his private home - such that Tom Cruise lives within that opulence - with renovations that Scientology provides (as labour) as part of scientology.
    So Tom Cruise participates in HUMAN SLAVERY by USING many people to work on his home, BUT those people only get paid $ a pittance per week by the Scientology organization. Thus Scientology is a HUMAN SLAVERY operator. Tom Cruise could make out that he "thought" people were paid a proper income instead of a pittance but it is HUMAN SLAVERY

      Cruise is imo a genuine psycho,, that little demonstration with Matt Lauer was really indicative of his state of mind... The Slop Gun acting like he's the first person to discover that Ritalin actually has a street value... THE MAN'S A GENIUS, slap a cap with a tassel on his head and slip that PhD into his back pocket the man's a master of the obvious, which wouldn't be so bad but Cruise is acting like he's educating the whole world or something.... This happens all the time with people who got a lot of money while not actually doing anything for it.. and that absolutely idiotic challenging stare he was giving Matt during his whole instructional monologue,, the only other person I've seen do that kind of psycho stuff with interviewers is Steven Seagull...

      From all accounts John Travolta is a nice, decent guy. That being said his autistic son Jet had a seizure disorder and was denied proper care because it entailed psychotropic medications such as phenobarbital. He had a seizure, hit his head and died. John’s wife Kelly got breast cancer and in my opinion did not receive proper care because they think vitamins , saunas, etc. is all the treatment they need. Many Scientologists die from mismanagement of their disease. As a student nurse I had a Sea Org. guy come in with a mangled foot due to a back hoe injury. They only brought him in because the foot was severely infected from non medical treatments.

      I loved the first few movies I saw him in -The Firm, A Few Good Men, Born on the Fourth of July - but those are just the type of movie I like. I haven't seen any of his action movies cause they're not my cup of tea. I was really disappointed in Born on the Fourth because I just couldn't find Tom's portrayal of his character believable, but forced myself to watch the whole movie because I was interested in the story. Then I tried to watch Magnolia and just found his character too repulsive.
      I thought about it for quite some time. Why did I find him so good in the first two movies and repulsive in the next two? Finally, I came to the conclusion that he really can't act. In the first two movies, he played an intense young lawyer, highly driven, idealistic, fresh out of law school and laser focused on the task at hand. There was no character development and little emotional life involved. When he brought that same lack of emotionality to his other movies, he flopped big time. When I heard he was in a cult, it all made sense. Cults train people to wear a mask at all times, regardless of situation. When you see him in interviews - where he is presumably not acting - he looks like he is wearing a teflon mask laminated onto his face - it's his Stepford Wives mask.

    Oh My Andrew, this topic revives awful memories, as my late brother who was highly intelligent became hooked on Scientology at age 46. He was brainwashed and became very aggressive to me when I refused to "join". He offered to pay large sums of money to have me "audited". I know so much about this destructive cult. Amazingly, so many tecruits here in South Africa ate extremely wealthy or at leat well-off. . Strangely, my brother was extremely good looking and he had a Doctorate in Economics. He became weird and used so many "key-words". But I never was aware of him " doing" weird things - he only "talked" weird things! One frightening aspect was his emphasis on people using total Self -control and not exhibiting laughter or any gushing sounds . After some years, we grew apart,
    and sadly so, as we were so close as children . When I was adult enough to differentiate and question my brother and disagree with him, he drifted away from me and actually told me that I needed to go to a Funny Farm because i questioned what then became THE CHURCH of SCIENTOLOGY to legalize the cult.

    I knew a lady that worked for Michael Brett...a large business man in Scientology in his own right....and she also worked as the secretary and the Scientology celebrity center in Las Vegas. So she worked this job for mike and also worked another 40 hrs for the LVSCC to pay for her "auditing" classes. So she had a disabled son that she took care of and he had an issue where he was at the hospital and she sat in a chair with wheels and she broke her hip at the hospital...then while they was picking her up they dropped her and she broke the other hip. So now she is in the hospital with 2 broken hips and she had just gotten the 2nd hip replacement hip and the Scientology center called and wanted her to leave the hospital AMA to come and work at the Las Vegas center as the secretary. She of course could not do that. So they made her a "suppressive person" i know they have another word for it. But they sent her to a collection agency that harassed her for the money for the auditing classes that they said she "needed" to take. They called her all the time and harassed her neighbors and spread rumors about her which anyone that knew flo knew that she was a great person. At any rate, michael wanted me to join but heck no!! Im not going into this money scam, which is all Scientology is. At any rate...i dont know what happened to flo but i think she may have died. Horrible horrible people.

      Claire came across as very likable, but do you really believe she was never involved in the abuse of fellow Scientologists when she was in Scientology?
      If a person is a Scientology staff member for a number of years, it is impossible for them not to be involved in the infliction of abuse.
      If you don't accept that point, then you are being charitable. However, you would be irrational if you did not accept the point that a person on staff for a number of years must have witnessed abuse without intervening and therefore given passive affirmation to the abuse.
      All the ex-Scientologists present themselves as 'good guys,' and this is readily accepted. It makes no sense though, as they were part of an organisation that is evil.
      Ironically, the real point of Scientology is the degradation of the soul. That's another topic, and this comment is already very long. I will say, though, that Scientology is not about money and it never was. None of the bad things happening in the world pertain to money. The money acts as facilitation and camouflage.
