[@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.

My wife almost got wrapped up into scientology right before I met her.

Then they started calling all the time, when I got on the phone with them I sternly told them this is a Christian house hold. One day they actually came to our door in hazmat suits ( no joke from head to toe hazmat suits during covid, I answered the door thinking it was covid related and on their chest it said the church of scientology and I lost my mind in shock they came to the house. I literally lit them up verbally and told them to get the F off my front porch and never come back. They never did and everything stopped. Be stern with these psychos.

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...

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…”.

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.

It has been years.... And i am STILL feeling the shockwaves from this episode. The things i learned... Truly one of the best interviews on this podcast.

[@DeidresStuff]

If I told my psychiatrist stuff like this, I'd be locked up.

[@zapkvr]

Deidre Westover maybe you are locked up and you just arent aware of it

[@aMissingPerson_]

You wouldn't have a psychiatrist in the first place, scientology is against them, get an auditor, bahahaha

LOL, that's probably why scientologists think psychiatry is evil.

I entered Scientology back in the 70's when I was an impressionable kid. I was looking for answers and was impressed with some of the teachings so I joined the group. It took about 2 weeks to figure out it was a cult of wackos

[@insideAdirtyMind]

I am impressed they let you go

[@NelsonMontana1234]

@@insideAdirtyMind When I did an Audit and lied and told them exactly what they wanted to hear and then they told me my levels were "floating in a heightened state", that's when I knew they were full of shit and said so to the auditor. And I walked out. They called a few times to get me back but I told them to fuck off and they let it go.

[@katiekane5247]

Read the book but went no further. My sister got caught up in the "Moonies" for several years. Fucked up family leads kids to seek ANY love & structure. Glad to have survived to 60!

[@peppapig-mf4cs]

@@katiekane5247 Yeah my uncle who just passed away at 70, was in the "Moonies" he left it and joined another church that was kinda normal like born again. He was always seeking answers and no one in my family could talk him out of it like brainwashing.

[@northofyou33]

I took their weirdo test they give people off the streets. I knew as soon as the people who "recruited" me started talking that they were nutjobs. I spent about an hour of my life with that cult.

Leah is from New York. They like their space and don't like anyone stepping over them. She's already digging up frustration inside her by telling the story, now imagine being constantly interrupted and having to correct someone who keeps being a talk show host instead of a listener.

[@JacobGrim]

@@michaelscott-joynt3215 oh no, imagine being on a talk show! So horrible that she has to exchange conversation rather than monologue into the mic. Look, I get it. But she can handle being interrupted by a talk show host, mainly because he's asking her questions to help her clarify what she is talking about for the audience and himself. It's a talk show, not a monologue my autobiography show.

[@hellybellybelly]

This taught me: not only is Scientology weird it's incredibly boring!! How could she sit through all this stupidity?!?!

They sit you in a room for 10 hours. While you tell them a story of a "bad experience" you had. You tell your story and they "take your mind to the past" where you "relive" it over and over, while they subtly change 1 tiny detail every time you retell the story. over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Its like a big game of telephone with yourself. Except the changes are so slight you dont really realize what has been changed, to the point you cant even remember the original story because you have been conditioned to fill it with a different one. But before this you are told to do the same tasks over and over and over and over and over again to condition a pavlovian response to following orders. These orders are things like "Be a person" "Be a person" "Be a person" "Be a person" "Be a person" "have hands and fingers" "have hands and fingers" "have hands and fingers" "have hands and fingers" "have a head" "have a head" "have a head" "have a head" "have a head" "have a head" with words of encouragement upon completing the task (If it can even be called a task) Then it moves on to the next set of brainwashing now that you will follow orders, "Say hello to the center of the earth" "Say hello to the center of the earth" "Say hello to the center of the earth" "Say hello to the center of the earth" "Say hello to the center of the earth" "Say hello to the center of the earth" "Say hello to the center of the earth", for hours and hours "say hi to the wall" "say hello to the floor" They very slightly push the boundaries of what you are told to do. Until you get to the point where you are holding E-meters, and confessing "crimes" you have commited (Used as blackmail for if you ever do something bad) Giving them money to pay for the privledge of taking another class. 15 dollars here, 15 dollars there, 2500 dollars for a 4 hour sauna toxin cleanse (extremely dangerous) and then tell you what you feel afterwards is the toxins leaving (when its really symptoms of dehydration) and before you know it, you have just signed a billion year contract that says you will work for scientology 7 days a week for 50 dollars a week for the next billion years. It is brainwashing in the most clearest sense of the word. Its stuff north korean dictators have done to keep the populace complacent. And yes scientology also has prison camps where you get abused for an undetermined amount of time (anywhere from 2 years to 30 years, or forever!). But yknow, the people imprisoned have consented to being imprisoned because it is their fault. Truly the most fucked up thing i have researched today, and it has left me with a horrible pit in the deepest parts of my soul. Because this is happening in 1st world countries, and nobody is doing anything about it! Just look into the Head of the churches wife. She hasnt been seen since 2007, nobody can contact her. And many think she is either dead or imprisoned.

It's a shame she still needs to rely on religion so heavily for peace of mind, but at least with Christianity there are easier ways to do it and not be a fucking creep. She seems like an okay person, and that's really all I can ask of anyone who's been in such fucked up circumstances.
