In reply to Cathy Leslie. Not a good idea to use your real name online. And especially on websites like these. Never give out info about yourself that could identify you. These days it's very easy to track someone down because they've used the same username somewhere else or because they talk too much about themselves and so on. I can't understand those people who leave comments with their name and surname lol. It's basic common sense to not do that.

[…] Certainly they pay attention, and then launch into damage control mode to figure out how to avoid any public repercussions for scientology. All actions taken with regard to possible criminal activities of a scientologist are based on what is good for scientology. (For a complete explanation of this, see this earlier blog post Why Do Scientologists Lie?) […]

I spent less than a year in a cult my parents that was packaged as a “school.” Less than a year that did a lifetime of damage. In the 80’s you could legally call it a school so it sounds different from what it really was – a registered group home. Started by a a cult of personality guru who had followers and initially took in runaway kids and had them shill for money. Later, he evolved it into a scheme to start an “emotional growth” boarding “school” (this was all false wording) stocked with his non accredited counselor “followers.” Like any good cult, they had their own process of isolation, auditing, levels, spycraft, hubris of saving the world, and conditioned us to detach from families and emotionally abuse each other to “level up.” If you questioned anything, they made our life a hell of isolation and psychological abuse. Most of the kids who went there were from rich families who didn’t want to parent. the place monitored our phone calls home (once every two weeks) and censored all letters in or out. It was in an isolated place and we were told we would die in the wilderness if we tried to leave. The brainwashing techniques were straight out of a Korean POW cam It was daily, exhaustive and harsh. The school part was a TOTAL sham. Like, Scientology, we were conditioned to turn in and on anyone who questioned the cult – which by the way, had levels and operating principles similar to scientology. (We had our own labels for SPs and auditing and disconnection.) For me to level up, I’d have to become what I hated to prove my worth. I actually managed to run away -no easy feat in the mountains-under harrowing circumstances, and found nice people who took me in for a week. I had to stay hidden because people were looking for me. Finally, they drove me to my hometown a few hours away. My Mom was indoctrinated; my Dad was not. Thank God he saw reason.The funny thing was that even though I knew I had to get out of there, for a long time after, I still tried to live by the principles (called Agreements) because I was so brainwashed. How I know that scientology is a cult is because most cults operate in similar ways even if they are culturally different.

In reply to tripp.

After reading all of this, it becomes incredibly easy to understand why the current President-Elect has been called “a closet Scientologist.”

Between his regarding “truth” as meaning “whatever is most useful at the moment”, and his “fair-gaming” of (“Crooked” and more) Hillary Clinton and others (and the way he used “emotional proof” and other tactics to destroy every one of his debate opponents), it seems obvious that he has had more than casual exposure to the CO$.

And if it still didn’t seem obvious, his July 4’th party speech at the Hollywood Celebrity Centre, or the contents of his Trump U. playbook (which details the most efficient practices for separating students from their money) should have clinched it. (http://bit.ly/2idEHcc)

In reply to Mike Rinder. LRH and DM are so reminiscent of Lenin and Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Phot, and other psycopath dictators /leaders who descended into a mental hell and took everybody them.

In reply to McCarran. Agreed. We cannot demonize those unfortunate souls still in Scientology. They need love and compassion and help to get out. Scientology is not a religion and seems to be devoid of love. We need to show those in scientology that "true love" awaits them in the world outside Scientology. LRH was a demon.
