Leah Remini AE special

[Anonymous]

Im not a huge fan of her personality but the special is pretty astounding. Last night they had Paul Haggis on and he had a good story. Some of the physical absues towards children in particular are awful. Its interesting such a huge cult is so successful. Does anyone think this series will do anything to shake it?

I find it fascinating and record it every week.

I am glad someone is finally airing out this insanely popular cult. It's incredibly dangerous. I have no idea how you prosecute the child abuse, but I hope this brings them down.

Obsessed with this show. Next week's show may be too much for me to handle. The preview was sickening.

Did you all read her book? It was really interesting.

David Miscavige's niece, Jenna Miscavige Hill, wrote a book about growing up in Scientology. Although her writing (or her ghostwriter's writing) is a little dry, the stories are still fascinating.

I read it too. The lack of education, and forced physical labor, separation from parents, etc. All awful.

NP here. I think the show is Scientology's harbinger of the end. Their business model is based on loyalty through mind control and using celebrities as a recruitment tool. It's harder to control minds when you have the internet. And the celebrity tactic backfired big time with many of these celebs becoming huge liabilities.

It is interesting that you call it a cult.

I Always wondered how Nicole Kidman was able to marry Keith Urban in the Catholic church without an annulment.

Apparently the Catholic church considers Scientology a full on cult, so they consider a Scientology marriage as completely invalid (since it is done by/managed by the cult).

It was interesting to learn that this is their take as they don't view civil marriages or marriages in other legitimate faith traditions in this way

Read "Going Clear" and then watch the HBO Documentary by the same name. It is insane.

^^me again.. also, the dwindling numbers. Mike Rinder estimated on his blog a while back they were down to around 15,000 members in the U.S. and declining.
