    Whilst filming, did any of Leah cast or crew feel uncomfortable about her (former and distant) scientology beliefs to a point they walked away/got fired?

    Love from suppressive, unclear Scotland!

    Love the show.

    Love what you’re doing, L & M. Question: Could Marty Rathbun have gone back into Scientology as a means of getting some kind of irrefutable evidence to eventually take the church down? I want so badly to believe he has good intentions…

    Do you think Scientology would change their doctrines about homosexuality if Tom cruise came out as gay? Since they seem to accommodate his every needs.

    Why did LRH have such terrible teeth?

      And, is this why dentists later got so into Scientology!? JK

      But also… dentists & chiropractors getting in on it seems to go against the doctrine/ belief of attaining a level to be able to heal oneself, doesn’t it?

    Doesn’t promoting abortions for sea org members contradict growing scientology? More kids = more members! I am surprised LRH didn’t promote lots of children to quickly grow the religion. Seems counterintuitive.

    Hey, I love the podcast and the TV show! What you do is amazing. I did however receive a phone call from Clearwater, Florida while listening to your podcast … I’m in London … bit strange

    I’m really curious how Jenna Elfman was able to act in a movie with Justin Timberlake after he made the joke about scientology being science fiction?

    I’m also wondering how John Travolta’s son, Jett participated in scientology with his disabilities?

    I love your podcast — I listen each week and learn something each time I do. =)

    Here’s my question:

    If the stated goal of Scientology is to “clear the planet” and help everyone — wouldn’t that mean turning everyone on to Scientology? Because we’d all allegedly need to be Scientologists to be clear, right? But Scientologists seem to openly hate non-Scientologists, even willingly denigrating them, right? So how on earth do they think that kind of behavior would ever win people over? How is being hateful to people working toward their goal?

    (I feel like we all already know the answer — but I’m interested in what Scientologists would say as a defense of their horrible behavior and attitude toward non-Scientologists).

    Also, and I don’t know if you can address this on the air or not, have you or Leah heard from Yashar? I followed him for so long and he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. Is he okay?

      Hello Pam maybe you could help me post this please as I am having problems doing so…here is my question

      Good morning

      I have a question for you which I hope you can answer for me I have heard on your show and on others that it takes absolutely years sometimes to finish OT7. Not only does it take a long time and cost a small fortune I believe you do this by yourself alone with no real involvement on a daily basis by Scientology. Therefore why does it take this long and why can’t you finish in two months for example as who is to say you finished it as we all know it’s all a bunch of nonsense except for those who are doing it but why can’t you say after two months right I’m finished I’m done…. Bring on OT8 ?

      Hopefully, you will be able to answer my question and the cynical part of me finds this particular area of the con amazing because you pay all this money and then do everything yourself at this level….. I mean if that isn’t pulling the wool over one’s eyes so to speak and I don’t know what is….and looking forward to your reply .

      Thank you very much,

      Steve.
