[@beths3288]

Yeah, but really Colbert is CATHOLIC! How many people continue in that cult?Yes, it is the same thing. He doesn't want to offend his family or abandon his beliefs. Moss is the same I assume. To paraphrase Dumbass Donald, "There are good people on both sides." Only in this case, there really are good Scientologists and Catholics (but there are no good Nazis). If good people aren't ready to walk away, you kind of have to support them, or at least not rip them apart. It can take a lifetime for people to see clearly what they've been conditioned all their lives to deny.

Incredible Elisabeth Moss 😍

[@TheBioExplorer]

I'm disappointed to hear she fell in with the Scientology crowd. How ironic that she is proud to have a part in a show that promotes resistance against tyranny and theocracy but is part of Scientology. I did not know she is a Scientologist until I read the comments. I don't think it negates her talent and work however. So many in Hollywood have been dragged into it and probably dont have Remini's balls. But remember Remini had really supported it despite her questions for a long time until she hit a breaking point. I'm sure Moss' publicist is probably even Scientology approved. I can have some sympathy for her. No actor ever feels secure in their success and she may feel it is worth the immense amount of money she has given them. Also... people are free to believe what they want. The attack should be against Scientology and their practices. The government needs to come down on them. But it is my hope that due to Remini's courage and determination that at least this cult will die eventually now that more are aware of their awful practices. Hopefully younger people will run from them... Their money and influence will dwindle and they will eventually fall. That will be a great day. That all said... I'm a Christian but I too am appalled at how some in the government are using it for their own agenda and would push it on everyone to promote their own power & agendas.

I think it's the same for her

[@winterain17]

Comments like these are on every video with Tom Cruise or Kirstie Alley, John Travolta or Laura Prepon. Elizabeth Moss has it less harder because she's less known to be part of it. Kirstie was even challenged about it on Celebrity Big Brother UK and she avoided to answer so fans weren't pleased. She seems like a good person but to associate yourself with a cult who has done and still does so much harm makes it seems like it's just a front. She even avoided Leah Remini who got out and exposes them.

[@winterain17]

The best thing is to assume it's because she would have to disconnect from her family but the worst is that she turns a blind eye to all of the fuckery going on because it doesn't affect her personally. And that makes her a hypocrite because the whole point of the show she's in and proud of talks about how pretending issues don't exist is how they escalate.
