Going Clear Screening and Q & A in Clearwater

I’m watching Going Clear right at this moment and I heard that John Travolta thinks his fame came to him because of Scientology? I see Jason Beghe is a former member ( love him in Chicago PD) and he left in 2007, Chicago PD started in 2014. Scientology didn’t get him that roll, he did. So much for that theory. Where’s he now? Haven’t seen Travolta in anything lately, or Kirstie Alley either. I’m a huge fan of Leah Remini and think that her and Mike Rinder and all the ex Scientologists are making the public aware that Scientology is a cult, and David Miscavage is a criminal

(a party favor, in shared celebration:)

From The Underground Bunker:
…Now two theaters in the area will be showing the movie.

If that doesn’t sum up Scientology PR, we’re not sure what does.

-And, from the shared camp of doubt,
if that doesn’t sum up delusional leader, I’m not sure what does.

Over 5 million people have watched it on HBO alone. That is at least 150 times the global scn membership. The film is the product of a 2x Oscar winner (when Tom Cruise has yet to get his first one) and a Pulitzer winner (something that Freedom magazine contributors won’t have to worry about receiving, ever). 94% of top movie critics approve of the film (3% approved of Battlefield Earth). Three Emmys were awarded, and the film is eligible for Oscar honors. It was the talk of the Sundance film festival and is currently in theaters in all the top film markets in the country. It’s also getting TV play in various European countries as well as Britain.

As far as PR is concerned, the “church” finally became desperate enough to cull its various anonymous hate web sites for materials on some of the persons presented in the film, and posted those materials on its own web site. Finally, what everyone knew all along is official: These hate sites WERE “church” properties! Further denials have become pointless. The cult’s videos, full of unsubstantiated attacks on persons and void of substantive issues with respect to the film, may work in the scn bubble. Outside of that, they are a laughing stock comparable only to the utterances of a third-world dictator or Islamic extremist.

Closer to Ground Zero, all monkey business notwithstanding, it’s good to hear that the film will be shown in the Clearwater area. Maybe not in downtown Clearwater, but the presence of Mike Rinder, Sarah Goldberg and a reporter of Mike Deeson’s caliber will make the drive more than worthwhile.

As far as foot-bullets are concerned, it is safe to say that the cult’s ham-fisted PR efforts haven’t hurt the film makers’ efforts of reaching a wide audience any. It’s good to hear Gibney now openly speaking about a sequel. As far as sequels are concerned, it should be a much more economical and enlightening investment than OT IX/X, and a lot more authentic and credible at that!

That’s funny Mary. I wear bells on my tenny shoes – makes me feel like I have company with me 🙂

Hi Jose Chung, Thank you for your post.When I wrote David Miscavige years ago from Asho F the one letter I got back,I still remember was not the best spelling for his age. Now I know why.And now I also wonder how many misunderstood words he carries from all his fixing up of Ron’s tech.Always like your posts.Ann.
