Episode 59: Listener Questions Part 8

September 27, 2021 By Mike Rinder 39 Comments

@MikeRinder just finished reading your book. I've been anti-scientology for about 30 years. Your book was so informative as to the mindset and the bullying, gaslighting etc. Every through I watched the documentaries and listened to the podcast, I found this book so much (/2)
