Full title: ‘Going Clear’ Director Says Ex-Scientologists Received Physical Threats for Appearing in HBO Documentary
Alex Gibney tells TheWrap former churchgoers have been threatened with violence and economic ruin after participating in the film (exert)
Fake religions always react violently against apostates.
It’s a nice organized cult. They have one of the biggest buildings in Hollywood, non-studio and they’re mostly white ala Hitler Youth.
They go where the money is. If there were more rich blacks we would have a branch in Ferguson.
If ever you head to Hollywood in the summer and you want more laughs than Universal Studios, try walking Hollywood Blvd and they’ll ambush you, trying to make you take their “stress test’ like in South Park.
That’s an interesting observation, because for the past few years there has been some sort of alliance between Scientology and Louis Farrakhan / Nation of Islam.
“The first large-scale introduction of Scientology to Nation members took place in August 2010, when hundreds of believers from around the country traveled to Rosemont, Illinois, near the Nation’s headquarters, for a seminar in Dianetics, a foundational belief system of Scientology. There, they were guided through auditing sessions—a kind of hybrid between hypnosis and confession—in which a Scientologist purges painful experiences from his subconscious in the presence of an “auditor.” At the end of the seminar, Farrakhan told the group he wanted everyone in attendance to become a certified auditor.”
Both yearning for the Mothership.
I happened to be channel surfing last night and happened to catch most of it. The pathetic cheesy commercialism of their cult gatherings was a sight to behold. Desperation to belong to something...anything, permitting themselves to be brainwashed, coerced or threatened into that cult was a sad sad statement of humanity. Lemmings, the lot of them.
I liked Tom Cruise’s enormous, gaudy “Freedom Medal of Valor” - he is clearly mentally ill.
BWAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
It appears Tom is standing on a 12 inch box.
If you ever do anything *guaranteed* to elicit threats of violence, you really do need to take some affirmative steps to protect yourself.
1) Pay the fee to your phone company to trace all incoming calls, and block those without identifying information.
2) Set up anti-denial of service software for your website.
3) Arrange for a package delivery buffer, to insure they are inspected prior to your receiving them.
4) Arm those around you.
As an Operating Thetan(TM), mere gravity cannot hold him down.
Scientology is a dangerous cult with a laundry list of criminal acts that go under the radar. They are long overdue for a congressional investigation. I wonder it hasn’t happened yet? Could they have stuff on members of Congress?
I don’t know. Sometimes I wonder if this is a mass carnival game like professional wrestling. The upper echelon know it is a work but they also know they are making massive money off the marks. When you finally have to leave town, you let everyone behind the curtain.
They hired private detectives to follow IRS commissioners, always keeping the minimum legal distance.
They went through the commissioners' trash.
They had women strike up conversations with the commissioners at conferences, after-work watering holes, etc.
They launched multiple lawsuits against individual commissioners as well as multiple lawsuits against the IRS.
In their suits they demanded enormous, time-consuming discovery.
The IRS effectively agreed to give them tax exemption if they agreed to end all the lawsuits and private surveillance.
I think every Congressman is aware that an obsessive cult with $4B in the bank and a dictatorial, vengeful, and absolute leader would bury each and every one of them under an avalanche of expensive litigation, and would uncover or - as they often have done - create scandals to undermine them, and spend an enormous amount of money to submarine their reelection campaigns.
No one Congressman has the financial and mental wherewithal to withstand them, and if he were to do so, fighting them would very quickly become his full time job to the exclusion of all other responsibilities.
IRS commissioners have said that in the 1980s, dealing with these people took up more of their time than all other matters combined.
How about old fashioned criminal litigation? Or are prosecutors and Judges scared too? These people have work camps on their premises where apostates are ‘reformed’.
Every single other executive in the group is either confined to "The Hole" at "Gold Base' in California, or has broken with the group and is "disconnected", or is a member of the "Sea Org" who makes $50 a week and has no home, car, or family and depends on Miscavige for support.
The ones who have left have consistently said that Miscavige is unreadable and that everyone else is either a true believer or a former true believer who is just beginning to experience doubts.
The escapees - some of whom were very highly placed - estimate that there are only 50,000 committed members and about 5,000 who work full-time for the cult.
Those who are in are squeezed for every last penny, except for the 100-500 or so celebrities/Hollywood types who are still pushed pretty hard.
To be so “clear”, Cruise and Miscavige seem to have an awful lot of anger when asked about the organization. That’s really unusual for a religion.
