Leah Remini on her revealing new Scientology series + Tom Cruise's Involvement

[Re-Release 2016]
Leah Remini - who famously left the Church of Scientology in 2013, after being a member for 35 years - sits with Larry to discuss the organization's controversial practices, Tom Cruise's involvement, and why she welcomes the church to sue her over her new docuseries.

[@JeantheSecond]

It was a bad day for Scientology when someone as intelligent, self-aware, and blunt as Leah left.

[@patphatkitten]

Jean the second. She never left . she was kicked out. She is not doing anything courageous. She knows she is safe when she lies about church. No one will harm her. She admitted someone is paying her to attack scientology org, but did not give a name.

[@patphatkitten]

@ She is not going to say she was kicked out when she has been telling everyone for years that she left on her own. No one in Management is going to harm her so I don't see why she is "courageous". Harming her for speaking out against scientology is not something they would do. If you search, you might find video of man who said Leah told him she was being paid by someone to make the show and attack Scientology Org, but no name was given. P.s. it was shown by church in reponse to Leah's attacks and "the aftermath" show. So, if it was from church I don't think tou would believe it. They stopped showing it months ago.

[@dakotadenali9678]

patphatcat I would be interested in the source where she admitted getting paid to Scientology. I cannot find any source that points to that. However, Scientology has a well-known past for engaging in frivolous litigation, criminal behavior, and smear campaigns against its critics like Operation Freakout and Operation Snow White. If you don’t care, could you point me to that source? I’m highly critical of Scientology, but I want to be open to getting accurate information about it in order to judge it.

[@patphatkitten]

@@dakotadenali9678 it was an ad made by scientology org where, someone who worked with her on her show, said that she told him she is getting paid to attack scientology org and that he could " write his own ticket" if he joined her in the attack. It was in response to her show. Because it was made by scientology org, I don't think you will take it seriously. I think they stopped showing it anyway.

[@dakotadenali9678]

patphatcat Thank you! I think it was able to find the ad in question. Correct if I’m wrong, but it was an ad featuring Marty Rathbun speaking about Leah approaching him to speak on her show. Yes, I don’t think the ad has a lot of credibility since Rathbun has involved himself with many questionable actions to say the least. However, I appreciate you providing me with that.

Don't forget that he stole from many other religions. Kinda throwing them together, Listen to some of Chris Shelton's podcast on the matter. He has quite a few videos and if Chis is to dry then Growing Up In Scientology channel is really good too for learning about some of the things that went into making it. He interviews some very interesting people including Mary Kahn who made it all the way to OT7 twice.

At first I thought he was embarrassed of me but he pulled me to the side and said he apologizes for acting weird. People from the Watchtower also work out at this gym and if he sees me talking to him they are going to think im “otherworldly “ in otherwords not from the cult lol. There was a day where he cried in front of me. It’s sad. Truly feel he never managed to live a full life of happiness Never saw him since that day.

[@jpflameofthewest]

Raphael Ferrero WOW that’s truly sad but true of how some JWs end up acting. They want to be themselves, they want to be free, but freedom comes at an extremely high price. I hope that guy will be okay such behavior gone on too long causes depression, bipolar disorder and unfortunately in a few suicide. Be good and be yourself; if you cannot do both where you are in life in my opinion you are doing neither. We cannot truly do good or love others if the real self isn’t allowed to shine. There’s a big difference between trying to improve ourselves and work against immorality our weaknesses and denying our true nature. Thanks for listening to that JW and sharing.

Just because you can't imagine it doesn't mean people are weak for being a member. The truth is: We are simply lucky that we haven't been born into a situation where most of our family is in a cult and we grow up believing that to be our truth. We've had the opportunity to grow up and shape our own beliefs and morals. Many members of scientology weren't as lucky. Also, Dr. Philip Zimbardo wrote a study about likeliness of joining a cult: "The majority of 'normal, average, intelligent' individuals can be led to engage in immoral, illegal, irrational, aggressive and self destructive actions that are contrary to their values or personality--when manipulated situational conditions exert their power over individual dispositions." Google it, learn more, educate yourself, don't simply say you don't understand how people can be so weak.

I went into their bookstore and asked if they had any Bibles. A lady asked what I was looking for to help myself with and directed me to many self-help books but had no Bibles… I told her I was not looking for those books and suddenly there were 3 more males and a female getting closer to me and “trying to help”… I felt incredibly uncomfortable and made a beeline for the door! Never went back! SO thankful I didn’t get involved with this church! God is love. The only thing required to get to Heaven is to believe that God sent His only son, Jesus, to die for all of our sins so that we could be saved. I pray for healing and true love to all who have been deceived and hurt so deeply.

Facts

[@gdust6579]

I had to flee and escape my family and other people trying to force me to take psychiatric drugs. Larry and Leah believing psychiatry helps people is hypocrisy . Psychiatry is a cult just the same as Scientology is, and it is FORCED on children and conditioned on them at a young age. There are also more people in the Psychiatry cult than Scientology.

[@katiefish3479]

What's crazy is higher up scientologists are watching everything Leah does, probably posting in these comments rn, to try to slander her and lie to defend themselves.

[@matthewscott1091]

I can’t help but like Leah Remini. Aside from being a beautiful woman on the outside you can hear in her voice & see in her face the empathy & compassion she feels for others. I got the audio version of her book, “Troublemaker: Surviving Scientology & Hollywood” read by her (which I prefer when the author reads it) & it was wonderful. It covered most of her life from childhood, how she made it in Hollywood, & how she got into Scientology as a child. It’s funny, insightful, very interesting & emotional. I highly recommend it!

Some MLMs mimic a "cult". The parallels to the controlling behaviors and investing lots of money under the premise of getting ahead/attaining higher levels within the "organization". Many things Remini says about Scientology resonates with my experience(s) with certain MLMs.

"Psychiatry helps a lot of people" psychiatry is a cult that poisons people with drugs... What hypocrisy. I was poisoned by psychiatry for 17 years from age 11 to 28. I will never get my mind back in those years, and I have developed a neurological disease because of those drugs. What hypocrisy to say Scientology is a cult but psychiatry is HELPING people? They are poisoning people who have trauma, often times victims, and the scapegoat of narcissistic parents. (Im not a Scientologist btw, I really hope another organization or class action will really take down psychiatry. It is evil and cult like in its own right.)

[@BabzProductions]

[@bluezinnia847]

She is telling the absolute truth! I also was a victim of Scientology in West Palm Beach, FL back in the late 60 s early 70's I don't remember, it's been so very long ago...I was 19 yrs at the time...I was a Spiritualist, and to this day, I'm still very much the same. At the time they tried to talk me into this cult..so I went to 1 of Ron L. Hubbards classes....and they said nothing of merit, except, if you hate your parents, get rid of them, join us, and I did not hate my parents, I loved my family..and I knew this was bull shit...so I never returned, and they continued to hunt me down for 10 years, and when they could not find me, they harrased my Mother for the same 10 years..what they didn't know I moved to NYC to persue my acting career..My self and my family ignored this horrible, dangerous organization...so after 10 years they finally gave up harrassing my family to find me.. Highly dangerous, false religion, brain washing cult...glad I was smart enough to see thru them after my first meeting/indocrination because I went to a lecture seeking truth...which was nothing but lies...I'm so glad my Spiritualist beliefs, and my highly psychic intuition...got me out asap! None the less, they harrassed my Mother for 10 years trying to get ahold of me, saying it was so important...I told Mom, don't tell them anything...and well, my Mother was also a psychic scholar...so it worked out well. For others, innocent victums...it's a sad verdict, because they fell for the Scientologist threats and abuse.

[@ladybug160]

Great show! Thank you Leah Remini! I still shudder when I think back to a time in the late 1980s. There was a lady Scientologist living in my block of flats at the time. My Stepbrother often used to visit me. And over time he got talking to this lady, who managed to persuade him to read the book on Dianetics. He came extremely close to joining Scientology. He was 21, and this was way before the internet etc. The change in him over the weeks that followed after a few discussions with this woman, and after attending a few meetings with her at her center were frightening to say the least. Baring in mind, none of us really knew then, what we now know about this cult. Yet, I feared by Stepbrother was becoming brainwashed and I kept telling him that something felt terribly off......... I won't go into all the details of how and when he had the breakthrough ( it was a horrible experience for him. ) However, I am forever grateful that he decided not to join.
