					<description><![CDATA[Hi Mike , Could you please end the modern day slavery in 2022. People have been locked 365 days without TV, News paper and no holidays. 

Working 7 till 9 pm Every day on less than $ 5 a Week is the reality ! 

Free working Slavery is the key to the church Wealth. 

People with kids and divorce mum comes to church for help and she already had big trouble on her life but cult gives the biggest trouble in their lives. 

Kids may not get basic education. No skills to live in real world and may have to pay back 40 k end of contract of sea org age of 25 ! 

Dear Parents, Think twice even 3 times before you give your loved one children to this Organization for free ! 

Can Church guarantee better life in next life ? by taking wonderful life this life you must enjoy without trap ! its the prison of belief ! Violation of mankind and basic human rights esp every single human rights has been violated by Church. 


Mike today you are out of this hell by witnessing the abuse of these young kids at Base or Gold ! you have to make them free who may not seen their sick mum for 7 years or disconnected from their beloved parents who had given birth to see beautiful world without this religious prison ! 

This is the witness and critical thinking if Sciento works why Tom Cruz has to marry 4 times ? why he could not handle his own wives ? why CEo himself has broken family ? 

Be aware of false hope !  

Mike please do something about kids and young people freedom the real freedom !]]></description>

Thank you both for your show. Thank you both for your bravery and thank you to the bravery of all the others speaking out. Hopefully it will prevent people from falling into this insidious cult and help revoke their ridiculous tax exempt status as a religion. They certainly do devote a LOT of energy into trying to discredit you both, as I discovered when I was looking for your site. You really do have them running scared! 

I had a slight brush with them as a teenager and was lured in to do one of their personality tests, but quickly sensed there was something weird going on, grabbed my girlfriend and got out of there. I also had experience in my work as a front-of-house person at an entertainment venue with a certain famous &#039;motivational speaker&#039; which has a LOT of cultish goings on in, and I would warn everyone to be very careful about attending his &#039;seminars&#039;.]]></description>

I guess that to get spiritual enlightenment means that you must first join a lunatic fringe cult then give all your life savings to them on the vain promise made by a fruit loop like lets say LRH and finally get used and abused then beaten into submission till you become yet another brain dead zombie aimlessly stumbling around believing &quot; The Bridge &quot; is the only way forward .

Sounds very enlightening to me ( NOT ) .]]></description>

I am not sure if you had several cocktails before you wrote your rant, but it certainly does not make sense. Maybe rewrite to clearly explain your stance when you are more clear headed?]]></description>

Not true, Art Ist.  Scientologists merely get in deep TROUBLE  if they admit to seeing the TRUTH, which has been redefined to be &quot;entheta&quot;, (which merely means  anything other than Dwarfenführer&#039;s current definition of the exact party line.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientologys-australian-tragedy/#comment-250577&quot;&gt;Ex Twin Cities Staff who worked in the Big Empty Idle Morgue&lt;/a&gt;.

To show that I&#039;m STILL infected by scn&#039;s lack of sympathy or empathy, my first thought when I saw news of this tragedy was &quot;What had scientology had  to the guy to make him THAT angry?&quot;  It&#039;s still a question high  in my consciousness after stepping back a bit and looking at the scene less dispassionately.  All I can think of now is &quot;That poor, mistreated kid.&quot; and he&#039;s only holing to experience worse  as scientology portrays itself as blameless purveyors of the bestest religion on the planet, &quot;the only hope for mankind<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />&quot;. 

if only the promises they make had any truth to them, if only it were possible for scientology to deliver on them. If they could and did deliver, I&#039;d still be in, but He couldn&#039;t and never did intend to deliver, only to trap people in his web of lies. Even in that, he failed to an extent.  He wanted ALL men to be his slaves, along with all women.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I find the TV show extraordinary and unique. I feel a lot of love and respect for Leah and Mike having the strength to do this and wanting to help others. Especially from Mike&#039;s angle....having once been such a cog himself in the machine. What a better world we will have if other high standing souls also involved in forms of abuse can do something similar. It&#039;s catharsis for all involved. 

I myself am in a very small way - relatively - a victim of the church. I grew up in South Africa from the age of six with a step brother - his dad married my mom - who was in fact already in the church through his real mom. I have much fondness for him, for indeed he is a very bright, witty and talented man. He lives in Clearwater with his wife and daughters. I don&#039;t believe we will experience anything but superficial contact as long as remains in the church. I dream of his escape and what it might mean for his life for he has so much to offer, that much I know, and I do believe him to be a fundamentally decent guy.

I believe if possible the church should be dissolved, assets sold....and divided amongst all &quot;financial victims&quot;.
SO much respect and Love to you both - you are doing something very important.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sadly, it&#039;s going to take a lot more than a TV show to knock down Scientology. Money talks and it&#039;s backed by so many powerful people (which I will never understand) I&#039;m all for freedom of religion...you want to go worship a rock, be my guest...so long as you aren&#039;t throwing that rock at people&#039;s heads. It&#039;s frustrating to watch the show and read everyone&#039;s stories...meanwhile watching Scientology continue on, as is. I do hope all of this information makes a difference.

So right, Wynski.  Priests are in jail; televangelists have gone to jail;  church &#039;prophets&#039; are in jail.  Billions is reparations have been paid.  A &#039;good cause well handled&#039; is key. 

However I believe it needs to be mentioned that one of the big differentiators in the successful prosecution of non-CoS clerics and $cientologists, is the lengths to which the CoS will go to completely destroy the lives of their accusers and their families.  Thus, preventing many to come forward out of fear of the cherch.]]></description>
