@otviii2late, Lol! That just made me imagine a Mystery Science Theater 3000 type show that airs old LRH film and other $cientology propaganda (the leaked Tom Cruise – you know the one – would be epic, as would his interview with Matt Lauer… plus any Miscavage events, etc.) with Mike and Leah (and guests) seen in silhouette eating popcorn and making fun of it. You kind of have to be familiar with MST3000 to imagine it. Here is a very short clip… there are full episodes available on YouTube and Netflix: https://youtu.be/geYkfXGLnIk

Wow you’re a dumbass. Scn’s do not abuse their children as common practice – yes the ones that land up in the sea org or whose parents are working on staff are not necessarily treated well but public scientologists children are generally treated as well as any other middle class child – it all depends on the parents (same as any other family). I had a really stable upbringing and was looked after really well by my parents – but my friends whose parents were in the sea org did not have the same experiences I did – they were neglected as there was never any extra money for anything.

I don’t agree with any of the abuses that occurred and that they were covered up and condoned by the church is not ok, but you cannot paint all scientologists with the same brush. Yes we were blind enough to be involved in (or born into) a cult but that doesn’t mean that a huge percentage of us aren’t normal decent human beings.

Amy….if you believe your post, you need to get some help. NOW!

Amy,

You’re freakin’ nuts.

Or a troll.

Or both.

God bless,

completely tracking with you I Yawn. Yes, sad isn’t it what went down

So sad about the six year old whose parents abandoned him when he was so ill. Thanks to the kind hospital staff and other parents who looked after this little boy. It breaks my heart. I still cannot get over the other young people who spoke about the abuse they had to go through too. I think about my own children, grand children and great grand daughter and cannot imagine kicking them out of their home like that young lady who was escorted out of Scientology at the age of thirteen. It is mind boggling and heart breaking. She is a beautiful young woman now but what she went through is disgusting. To think that she could not be left alone with her dying mother becase they sent a handler along from the church. It shows just how crazy they are. I am glad the mother was able to get that poem out to her daughter which in essence asked for her forgiveness. The poor dying woman was not even allowed to be alone with her daughter. This should be call the cult of evil. I will never forget the stories of all of these young people. I pray they will know that there are loving and kind people outside the church. I hope they know how brave and beautiful they all are. This is why I say Tom Cruise, John T. And the rest of those so called celebrities are as guilty as the people that abused these children by choosing to look the other way. It is disgusting behaviour all around.

Forced sterilization?? That’s almost as bad as forced abortions in the Sea Org. I sometimes think that those in the Sea Org are more like victims that need rescuing and those at the top, including some celebrities, need to pay restitution to give former Sea Org members a start in their new lives and the counseling they will need. Then their asses need to be taken to jail for stealing, not only from their members, but from the IRS for falsely being classified as a church. I don’t want to get political but when the “church” does fall that’s going to leave a lot of people needed government help and I would never begrudge them that help but I think DM and the like should also be held responsible for footing that bill as well.

Absolutely soul crushing. Most people would not treat their dog that way never mind their child. This cult must be sucking the heart and soul out of people. Sickening revelation.
