Ms Martin. You nailed that. It’s a cult.

That’s a great idea, also Nicole Kidman

Leah and you are wondering how you can get the message out to folks; I thought of a couple of ways. First, encourage more people to write books and ask the publisher to donate a few to all public libraries nationwide, placing them next to all of the scientology books. Second, ask A&E to put the show on DVD and Blu Ray and, again, ask them to donate copies of it to public libraries nationwide, placing it next to all of the scientology DVD/Blu Ray sets.

I had a brush with scientology in 1994 when stationed in Pearl Harbor, HI. I had just gotten there and filled out a card at a grocery store and sent it in; nowhere on the card did it say Scientology. I got a call from a woman and went in to talk to her, thinking she was a counselor and/or someone who could relate to how I was feeling at the time…a bit lonely, a bit depressed…all normal with military transfers to new duty stations. As we are sitting there talking, it finally comes out…Dianetics, L.Ron Hubbard, etc. (I realized after watching the last week’s show that I had purchased the book with the volcano on it which is what prompted me to find your blog and say hello.) Anyways, this woman starts telling me there was going to be a HUGE rally in Honolulu that coming weekend and she just kept repeating that it was going to be ‘explosive’. I didn’t go because I don’t like driving in traffic and when I checked the newspapers and news there was no mention of it. That was a huge red flag for me.

I went back for I think one more class and, if I remember correctly, I just really wasn’t that impressed with what I hearing so I never went back. I never read the book either and it finally went in the trash after years of it sitting on my shelf. That woman I saw a couple of years later at the flea market selling women’s clothing; I avoided her.

Fast forward to around 2014 and I get this phone call at home in Riverview, FL. This person asks for Deeanna Kaiser; I ask who is this; the person finally relents and says the church of scientology; I reply there is no one here by that name; had to say it twice. They called me back a couple of weeks later and I again said there is no one here by that name and do not call my house again. Kaiser was my married name when I was in Pearl Harbor and it was the name I used to fill out that card at the grocery store. I haven’t used that name since 1994 after my divorce was finalized. It is easy to track people down nowadays. Even so, there was no way in hell I was going to let that cult in my house.

As I watch each week and listen to the stories, it has become clear even more so that it is nothing but a cult and a very dangerous one. I liken scientology to the following: Hitler, an abusive spouse, Charles Manson, Jim Jones, Jim and Tammy Fay Bakker….all mean, all cults, all manipulators and con artists.

I feel very badly that all theses things happened to you Mike. Thank God you got out safely..this scientology sounds very reminiscent of Jones Town..scary. Merry Christmas, healthy, happy, prosperous new year 2017

I need to include Leah for having such courage! You’ve no idea how many people this documentary has helped!
