[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw this article in my newsfeed. https://www.yahoo.com/news/netflix-takes-no-action-against-003009931.html 
I was unaware that Danny Masterson is a Scientologist. I grew up in a different very secretive international cult in which there was a lot of child abuse (including sexual abuse). All matters were resolved within the community, and it was against the rules to take internal matters to the police. Some situations did end up in court but only because ex members and relatives of members initiated the process. I have seen how almost impossible it can be to bring members of such secretive cults to justice, [b]so it's not hard to believe that Scientology squashed the allegations and silenced the accusers[/b].[/quote]

Sadly, those who do NOT believe that Scientology very effectively squashed this and protected him for years likely do not know anything about Scientology.
If you’re interested, the Lawrence Wright book is very good (non Scientologist), as is a book by a former top-level insider Marc Headley titled Blown for Good.
Leah Remini’s book is also really good for shedding light on how celebrities are treated and revered…but also since she was 14 when her mom brought her into the organization (which they call a “religion” only for tax shelter purposes and so that they can shout about religious bigotry when someone raises concerns), she has a unique take on all sides—regular casual member, Sea Org member (which is like the ultra cultish signing a billion-year-contract to work for the org for peanuts), and celebrity member….finally turned EX-member.

Members don’t cross what the Scientology leadsership tells them to do out of fear. The hook in the first place is that if bad things are happening to you, then it’s because you are sonehow connected to a “suppressive” person. If you go against the organization, then any friends or family members are told that you are clearly being influenced by a suppressive person and perhaps are turning into a suppressive person yourself, so they need to disconnect from you or lose their eternity for the next bazillion lifetimes. So you can go against them—but it’s at the risk of losing contact with anyone and everyone who has ever meant anythning to you. But yeah—you’re free to leave though. Go right ahead…It’s very scary.[/quote]
