Every cult is run by soul sucking manipulating people. If you take the title of the cult away it comes down to the same ruthless person. They just tweak the format a little here and there to make it look special and unique. But its the same damn thing. Taking control over another human in order to draw the energy out of them. If they figure out a way to bleed them financially then its the cherry on the cake for them.

I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was to read your story. It was your strength, smarts, bravery and dedication to your family that saved your marriage and children. Your experiences are fascinating and compelling to read. Your unflinching devotion and loyalty to your loved ones is what ultimately defeated this cult’s ability to control you, manipulate you, frighten you, abuse you and silence you.

I would love to read more of your experiences and I was wondering if you had ever thought of writing a book. Your proximity to celebrity gives you a unique position that allows you to offer a peek into the inner world of these scientology celebs which would possibly give your book a greater reach than other ex-scientologists. Also, in the current cultural climate of the #metoo movement, the voice of a strong woman who stood up to a cult run by a megalomaniacal man to protect her marriage and her children is a story that would resonate and appeal to a large audience. As a mother myself, I find it shocking, frightening, outrageous and inexcusable that a for-profit organization masquerading as a religion is able to abuse people, manipulate people, enslave people, “disappear” people, and fleece people of all their money under the protections of the First Amendment with no criminal repercussions whatsoever. People should be warned.

You said you wished you had made more noise leaving, but you still have a voice and a story that is compelling. Think of what reading “Going Clear” did for you and your husband – you could do that for others. Maybe your siblings would even read it and wake up. You could call it “Unfuckwithable.” Ha! I am not a scientologist, nor do I know anyone who is or ever has been. I have no agenda. I am just a wife and mother and I believe that by supporting each other, and helping each other and offering compassion to one another is actually the best way each of us can help the planet.

Regardless of what you choose to do, I am impressed by your strength and bravery. I am so glad you and Paul and your daughters found your way back to the real world and I wish the absolute best for you and your family in the future now that it belongs completely to you.

It’s not “calling a spade a spade.” He/she wasn’t referring to ALL SB’s, but specifically identified being involved with a fundamentalist SB group. It’s akin to the average Christian vs Pat Robertson or Westboro Baptist. You’ve got the fundamentalists that are into legalism & control – that’s NOT what the Bible’s about.

Similarly, the vast majority of Muslims are devout, kind, “normal” people but then you get groups that start out as “trying to reign things in” that then become … fundamentalists, want to bring back Sharia law, they then morph into ISIS, Al Queda, etc… My brother served in special forces in Iraq over a 10-yr period. He saw it first-hand and said it really shows you how dangerous these extreme groups start and then morph into something terrible.

That’s what people here are against. The other issue is that many have been burnt by religion and are healing from that. When someone has escaped a cult that controlled family, mind, body, the LAST thing anyone will respond to is another religion or well-intentioned individual providing a new set of “rules” that, if they only follow this, believe that… then this amazing thing happens.

Besides, as we both know, God wants people to CHOOSE Him, to have a heart for him… actions aren’t where any of it starts. Jesus didn’t say, “Go to your local church, get a bible and check out all the rules, start following them & we’ll talk…” He, in fact, said, “Come to me, all who are weary…” That difference in perspective makes ALL the difference in the world!

It definitely needs checking into at some higher authorities, its just not acceptable it breaks a lot of rules in the code of honor and code of a true Scientologist, Le alone a dictator taking the law into his own hands .Has any law official got their hands on this case , and hopefully Matt is onto officials, if not already and asap.

I like this lol! ~~we gotta put that end quote on a t-shirt hahaha nice

Thats exactly what i said a few days ago (read my earlier post) i pointed out at least 7 state and i think some federal crimes as well..this story was full swing and yes very well falls under the statutes for most of the state level offences u can guess 3-7 years to act on a crime. Very general range. Mike is right. Shit can b done
