In reply to Anne. The BBC Panorama documentary seems to have been removed again from YouTube does anyone have any tips to be able to find?

In reply to Anne.

I just wanted to quickly reply that I’ve found the episode’s name (“Scientology and me”) and have by now found a place to watch.
So “BBC, scientology and me, John Sweeney” seem to do the trick. Happy googling fellow podcast listeners.

I would love to watch the show (just heard you talk about it on the podcast) and would just like to ask if there is an updated link or search terms I could use to find it? This video seemed to have been hit by the censors. 😉

I’ve watched this 3 times, and it never gets any easier.

I applaud all of the people able to follow what’s in their own hearts and minds, without fear, especially the fear of totalitarianism. I understand and respect the Scientology Reformation Movement. However, the ‘Church’ of Scientology itself, how it stands today under its present direction and leadership, looks like the logical conclusion of exactly what L. Ron Hubbard began and orchestrated during his lifetime.
My questions are: Do people think that if the ‘Church’ was not under its current leadership, would the atmosphere within be vastly different? Would it be a more benign organisation for its practitioners? Would there still be a need for reformation?

In reply to Adam Richardson.

Hi Adam,

Nice work, to you and to all concerned.

And I’m not in the least miffed that you cut away from Sweeney leaving the TCR bOrg (after Mike Rinder denied and denied and denied) just before my protest gang and I became visible on the other side of the street. Our slogans are heard very well, so no regrets :-).

Anyway, since 2008 this has been about Anonymous and about how ex-victims have been able and willing to stand up and be heard.

In reply to Mark Foster. Thanks so much for caring. I have a great PTSD service dog and have allowed myself to trust the psychiatric profession so am doing quite well. Grandkids help too. Overall my life is quite great. Sometimes it just surprises me when something sneaks up on me.

In reply to Valerie. Wow. Hope your healing process proceeds smoothly. Just being able to observe and note the conditioned behavior is a huge step. The fact that bits are still sticking is a testament to the power of the mind fuck. Being able to write and talk and laugh about it helps, too, yes? Take care!

In reply to Valerie. "Religion? Really? No. Mafia." Yes. Co$ operates just like the Mafia does. That little South Philly plug ugly Miscavige admired and copied them wouldn't surprise me in the least.

In reply to Cat W.. Fingers crossed for Elizabeth Moss. A gifted actress, and I'd bet that, as did Nicole Kidman's, when Moss exits the cult her career will really take off. I'm enough of an optimist to hold hope that she's lurking here. She was, after all, decidedly circumspect, quite careful, really, in her response concerning CO$ when last interviewed. She didn't exactly give her cherch a ringing endorsement!
