some of those cases she has presented warrant police action
Scientology will have its ups and downs but it will never run out of suckers. Remember how often they’re born.
Through auditing Miscaviage has all the dirt on Nicole and Katy
He knows all their sexual peccadilloes
That’s the main thing to be honest
What you ever did or wanted to do
They know it and they will release it big time
I’m friendly with a movie biz person fairly well known who battled Scientology after being briefly sucked in ten years ago
He’s ashamed to ok at me when I wak how did you fall for it
Of course they promised 50 million for one of his pictures...that’s how
He was gullible...they tossed in a few million as a teaser then reneged when he balked at their auditing crap
They were really after his girlfriend whose daddy was a billionaire and his extended family also billionaires in Europe
They are evil Satan guided folks
Home to many wayward Jews and Catholics
But not all
My moms southern baptist BFF. was early SeaOrg level....left her husband and kids and devoted her life to that evil crap
He daddy had been a WWIII chaplain and preacher
Southern belle
So it attracts some folks by the lure we’ll make you special or be your family for you or in the case of my buddy
Economic opportunity
In Hollywood they offer religion ...really a fairy tale of exclusivity ..to people who lack a religious foundation
Miscaviage is a sociopath but oh so clever
I wish this was their demise but I doubt it
Makes you wonder whatever happened to EST or Eckankar or just your run of he mill Maharishi
Rimini is Jewish by blood and raised Catholic she should enjoy her roots and work on that....I hope she is
I cannot overemphasize how maldirected Scientology is
That tax ruling so empowered them
Thank you. I will look for it! A&E, a channel I never think about. I assume we get it.
He is (or was) the ultimate Trojan horse of acceptance for Scientology. He hide plenty of crazy “church” nonsense behind a glamorous movie star smile and film budget. Not anymore, not since the sofa scene on Oprah.
Have you seen the South Park Scientology episode (they slice & dice Cruise in it also!)?
It tells you all you need to know about Scientology.

Given some of their facilities and tight control, they’re good contenders for surviving a zombie apocalypse.

they sure as hell have, by rejecting it and getting the hell out of it and Suri too
Leah Rehmi risked everything.
Katie just got herself out.

HBO did a documentary on them awhile back. It’s called “Going Clear,” and it explains pretty much everything.
Leah Remini is to be commended for her work.
Regards,
Good. She kicked their ass.
Trust me - most Scientologists have already taken flight from the cult. It's now the fastest shrinking religion on the planet.
Believe me, there are far fewer than you might imagine. Admitting that you're a Scientologist in the entertainment business, is almost as dangerous to ones career as admitting you're a conservative.
It really ain't a resume' enhancer.
Nah... Scientology (as an organization) has been on a long downhill slide for thirty years now. Exposure of its inner workings on the internet pushed it over a cliff. It cannot recover from its current tailspin.
There are no new customers, and the old ones are quietly disappearing or dying of old age. More and more, their membership is made up of second and third generation Scientologists, but there's a huge attrition rate among the young. It's only a matter of time before they collapse, due to lack of people to sustain it.
It will be hilarious when Tom Cruise finally sees the same thing that you are describing and decides to bail. Then they’ll all be singing REM’s ‘Losing My Religion’.
If Tom Cruise ever bails from Scientology, it will be as quiet as a thief in the night. He’ll simply snip the communication line, and everyone in his inner circle will go dead silent on the subject. If pressed by reporters, he’ll say he’s still in good standing with the church, then drop it.
Many ex-Scientologist celebs have handled it exactly like that. They simply walked away and quit talking about it.
Makes sense. The scientologists would only draw further negative attention to themselves if they harm a famous person who leaves them ‘silently’, i.e. without saying anything against scientology. When both sides simply leave each other alone without any harmful words exchanged both privately and publicly, it’s a ‘mutually benficial’ way to end the relationship.
That's the precise 'gentleman's agreement' that allows celebs to walk away from Scientology unscathed. By virtue of their huge public profile, they've got leverage the average parishioner does not.
