[@stephengrigg5988]

it's hard to determine the difference between a cult and a religion. they're both firmly held beliefs which is what keeps the government from interfering(church and state and all that). So it's this kinda fucked up stalemate where the government won't intervene because it will set a precedent and then they'd have to interfere in every religion essentially, because the differences are hard to put onto paper. I genuinely believe that Hubbard saw a loop hole for a get rich quick scheme that's still going after he's died.

She did, and so I do absolutely say good for her ON THAT. However, she very clearly still seems to reflexively have an air of superiority about her. Now, maybe this was her personality even before she joined the church, I don't know. But hearing her explain back these processes to Joe (tho I've seen this repeatedly when she's doing it to other talk/podcast show hosts, for that matter), sure she's talking about really weird shit, but the nuts and bolts of what she's saying is pretty straight forward. And yet, she keeps on interrupting herself to ask the person "are you getting this?", and when the interviewer isn't even giving any outward sign that they're totally lost. It's this sort of passive/aggressive way she's maintaining this "no hon, you're just not gonna get it unless I explain it to you in this very specific way" (and what turns out to be a fairly simple way). It's this constant expectation that the person listening to her isn't smart or open enough to fully grasp what she's saying. That is NOT a positive attribute to have in your personality, I'm sorry.

And, honestly, most people still can't shake it as adults. It took me a long time to become a logical adult and stop believing in the christian nonsense. Because, here we are today, many of us so-called "logical" christians, laughing and knocking down Scientology, and the going clear, the space spirits that were thrown into volcanoes, and Xenu, all while at the same time believing that christ walked on water, fed thousands with one fish and resurrected after being murdered three days earlier! We spent years criticizing the scientology bullshit while believing our own bullshit at the same time. Many people will not want to hear it, but christianity, islam, Buddhism, Judaism, any religion really, are all as much of a cult as scientology is. And the biggest culprit is christianity, which has been brainwashing and robbing people for centuries before L. Ron Hubbard had a bright idea that one day!

Believe it or not contrary to popular belief most cult members tend to be intelligent, rational, well-read individuals; not weak-minded simpletons. Cults tend to suck people in who are looking for answers and ways to expand their understanding. Weak-minded people often wouldn't even bother to ask such questions in the first place and tend to just accept what's right in front of them and live in ignorance, so they wouldn't really be in a position to be bamboozled in such a manner. Plus cults tend to seek out and target wise and charismatic people to recruit since they will be more likely to bring in more followers once hooked. Ask any deprogrammer or psychologist...

As a long time initiate of a "Mystery Religion", I can tell you that part of the work, is that the more effort and time you put into it to reach the "next level" the more you will work to convince yourself that it has value, even as it becomes more apparent that it doesn't. If you think it's hard to convince someone that they've been fooled, imagine how much harder it is to convince someone that they've been fooled who has worked so hard and invested so much time to be fooled. It takes a rare person to take an honest look and say "I've been a fool" and walk away.

She definitely enjoyed the fruits of being in the so called ‘cult’ with her television and movie stints. It would have been more gracious to say, thank you, and move on with her life. Ultimately, I’m with Kirstey Alley on this and agree with the Church’s statement: “It comes as no surprise that someone as self-absorbed as Leah Remini with an insatiable craving for attention would exploit her former faith as a publicity stunt by rewriting her history with it, including omitting that she was participating in a program to remain a Scientologist by her own choice, as she was on the verge of being expelled…”. Then, she decides to milk it by producing the controversial series. She’s no different from Paul Haggis, just another hypocrite. I don’t expect you to agree with me but I’m no fool to think she’s a simple, indoctrinated human being. There are interviews online which describe her true character, please take a look.

It was held at the scientology center in Clearwater, so I went with my family. It was one of the weirdest experiences of my life. You had to let them do background checks on everyone before you were even cleared to come to the funeral. They had security guards in suits with ear pieces that had to let you in and escort you all the way to the room where the funeral was held. At the funeral they fully went into the whole Xenu thing with the volcano and something about those beings. It was all very surreal. Looking back I'm surprised that they were open about the whole Xenu thing in the presence of a bunch of non-scientologists.

This is an example of a real life "The Emperor's New Clothes". This short story, written by Hans Christian Andersen, about two weavers who promise an emperor a new suit of clothes that they say is invisible to those who are unenlightened, is what Scientology is doing.

[@eattoast6378]

Morton Guerrero I thought it was the other way around.

[@mortonguerrero2249]

You have a point. It may be. But, ask yourself, in truth, why are there so many of us turning away from structured organized religions? The whole, that void we all have and need to fill is still here. Enlightenment is an eternal search for truth, with-in our own existence. To find that you have been duped, is hard to admit and even more difficult to over come. Good for all who try.

[@eattoast6378]

Morton Guerrero I get it now. My memory was at fault. I thought it was that they made him clothes that were only *visible* to those below him in order to trick him into making a fool of himself. The moral was simple; vanity and egotism is wrong. Maybe someone just retold the story and that's what I read. Maybe my brain just made up it's own story out of false memory because it's been so many years.

the people were too afraid to say the obvious and it took a small boy to say ""look, the emperor is naked""

[@WorthlessDeadEnd]

It's all just tribalism. We humans are a social species. We are _taught_ to care about what others think of us from birth. That is why hermits are so rare (and odd, to most of us). We are _programmed_ to be slaves to the opinions and acceptance of others in our mothers' wombs.

So then Scientology is basically the worlds most expensive pyramid scheme? Its like an internet business that you pay to sign up to make money, only to discover that hey you are at the bottom, if you want to make better money buy into this level, only to discover, hey guess what there is another level, pay this to make this much more. And so on, and so on.

[@the_chomper]

more like a pay to win videogame but in real life

[@joshjohnson3347]

Who the hell makes money in this?

[@Shatteredlightunderfadingstars]

The same people who always make money with shit like this my dude: the assholes at the top.

[@nyx6937]

Yup, pay 250 000$ to 1 million to get the "right" to hear about Xenu, while being pressured to make your relatives and friends sign on. $cientology's exactly like a pyramid scheme, but where you get beaten, raped, jailed, blackmailed and abused on the way.

[@drdiscostu]

Most expensive pyramid scheme is Gold

[@teaznhandz]

To save money, instead of purchasing an E-Meter ($300.00 remanufactured with a warranty, plus $40.00 s/h upon eBay), I purchased the great and powerful 8-Ball for under $15.00, shipped. I ask it questions, shake it, and surprisingly it always gives me the answers only the great masters of the universe know!

[@thedoomnegotiator9693]

That’s a dangerous power you weild

[@wakeup7874]

Really

[@nyx6937]

Cool, now write a book about the right way to read the ball and call it Teaznhandzism : )

[@Kimberly-wt1nu]

For $16.99 a Ouija Board has more answers.

[@druidboy76]

I hope this comment got you the attention you wanted.

[@cyrusvanbeethoven4626]

Scientology sounds like a 'quest' you might try and complete in a video game lol. (Collect the items, go through the dungeon, learn about the beast, and get out alive lol)

[@TheCarrifaery]

Cyrus Van Beethoven essentially you sre correct. Hubbard was a fan of what he called games. Life was a game to him and his tools were meant to help people win.

[@cyrusvanbeethoven4626]

Haha crazy !

[@Drarack]

There's a semi-secret side-quest in GTA V where some cult like that tries to get ya.

[@wildstyle666brooke]

yes its all about video games you fucking moron...when is the last time you played a video game that cost 10's or 100's of thousands of dollars?

[@calvincandie5344]

It still amazes me that scientology got a tax exemption for their beliefs in xenu

[@gagakk5566]

I watched every episode of her “unveiling of this cult”! This is truly an unbelievable group- it’s beyond scary. Thank God that She & the rest of the inner circle blew this open!

[@drkinferno72]

South Park: This is what Scientology actually believes

[@jonathan6480]

So I pull out my gun!

[@jonathan6480]

@Benjamin S Yep!

[@jacks5463]

I LOVE THAT EPISODE!

[@johnjeffery6638]

[@lydiapinnell1124]

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

[@Tropicsca]

My brother and I walked into a scientology church in Toronto and the first question he asked the lady at the front desk was *who is Xenu?* She instantly raged and told us to get out lol

[@Network126]

Lol I should try this 😂

[@ViajandohaciaAdentro]

[@Dead_Again1313]

She would play the perfect Mafia wife.
