Stefani is absolutely great. She is doing so much good work to take down Scientology. She seems like such a kind and wonderful woman!

I just listened to the podcast with Stephanie Hutchinson. Always good to hear about the work she is doing. I just wanted to point out in regards to 9/11 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) didn’t exist yet. They were established after. The DoD, FBI, and State/City officials would have been in charge. I was with the DoD at that time and no entity like Scientology would have gotten (clearance) to be at ground zero. At best they may have been able to support in some safe zone, IF they were there at all.
Keep up the great work! Cults thrive on misinformation and unfortunately the law is not able to handle these dangerous organizations as we have witnessed in Jonestown, and many other instances.

Fascinating podcast, Stefani. Thanks to you and people like Mike and Leah, there will always be a source of factual information about this putrid cult. Although the mission is a marathon, not a sprint, the truth about scientollgatherers will gently filter into the minds of the afflicted.

Keep up the good work!

In reply to Brendan. So far I haven’t been bothered by Scientology. I’ve always chalked it up to the fact that they hate Mike and Leah so much more than they ever could a little fish like me, lol. So I’ve just been skimming along behind them and going unnoticed. (Thanks, Mike!) If that changes I’ll deal with it. I have no intention of letting Scientology bully me into silence. One thing I was taught when I was in the novitiate is that no one should force you to go against your conscience. No heretical, abusive cult is going to stop me from trying to help.

In reply to Brendan. I was wondering the same thing! Has Stefanie been harassed and followed?

I haven’t even finished listening to the whole podcast and I’m on the verge of tears. Stefani is amazing and I feel like the biggest jerk. A never-in, I’ve been following the abuses of Scientology since I was a teenager watching the Cult Awareness Network resist the eventual takeover by the CO$. I lurked on the alt.religion.Scientology newsgroups and clambake all through college. I read Tony Ortega every day since the Village Voice. I knew what happened to Lisa McPherson as soon as the word spread, and remember wanting to wear the bracelet. And here I am, after Going Clear, The Aftermath, Troublemaker, The Underground Bunker, Blown For Good, Chris Shelton, and this blog, and I’ve done NOTHING. Hell, I even boycotted EarthLink and Sprint for years. I have two friends from HS, one is in the Sea Org and one is a Public with her husband, both high OT’s. It breaks my heart. I just reached out to a mutual friend I haven’t talked to in a decade to say, Why isn’t anyone doing anything?? How is this okay?! We really do just sit by, and I can’t even excuse myself by saying I never knew, because I always did.

Stefani, you’ve inspired me to make a change. I always figured I didn’t have “the Rank” to speak up because who am I? I never walked the walk. How can I complain about what happened to my old friends when Mike can’t even talk to his daughter? I’m going to do something, anything, even just a poorly written letter to an official.

Thank you to Mike and Leah for giving a voice to the caring and devoted Never-Ins! We are out there, and we do want to help!

Thank you so much Stefani! I’ve been to scared to do anything! But I’ve been learning everything thing I can about cults! It started after growing up in the Mormon church, and finally getting clean! I think we need more people like u!! If u ever need help with anything I’m here!
