There's no fear on the part of the American journalist landscape. Part of what the problem is, is that the way the U.S. laws currently stand, the fact that the church, if that's what you want to call it, has its tax-exempt status, and the fact as was duly noted in this particular retrospective documentary is that the Church of Scientology is very well-endowed legally, financially, judicially and governmentaly as well. Sadly, because we as a nation we're stupid enough to give this dreaded organization its coveted tax-exempt status it literally barred our government for multiple many years from going in and doing an in-depth investigation into this group because of the U.S. laws explicitly mandating the "separation of church and state". In other words secular organizations cannot get their hands or their noses into the business dealings of a religious organization without an overwhelming reason why the secular needs to invade the sanctity of the private religious sector. Although I will admit that the case of the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker incident was indeed an exception to this particular rule. And I think what made the exception in this particular case was the fact that Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were selling rental spaces within the confines of a property that the church legitimately owned. But where they ran afoul of U.S. secular laws, was the fact that they were basically double and triple selling the same spaces to multiple parties at the same time. So that gets into a huge of Department of the Treasury, SEC, fiduciary misstep and miscalculation on the part of their group. As much as we hate to admit it for the most part for the time being the Church of Scientology's all of their egregious practices are technically within the confines of their own private religious status. For example they have been and they still do procure vast amounts of real-estate holdings across many different states. They will even go so far as to buy vacant buildings around and surrounding businesses and buildings that they are truly operating out of. However they will still go ahead and buy buildings and leave some of them vacant just to keep others from getting close to their station. Aaron Smith-Levin's Channel, "Growing Up in Scientology" even did a couple episodes on the Clearwater, Florida location which is in downtown Clearwater City it might be worth checking out so that you have a much larger understanding and picture of just the lengths that the organization goes to, to keep others at bay. On the other hand I do believe that in recent years they've been making a lot of very careless yet calculating mistakes not the least of which has been to openly transport and carry people across state lines to do things that are horrific. There is a case of a young man named Kendrew Kirconnell kzbin.infom_UBvRdP0U4?feature=share . Mr. Kendrew and his wife were recently separated and held at quite a distance from one another purely and simply because the couple became pregnant. The organization did not like that at all. They separated husband and wife. It was on the premise that they needed to take his wife someplace and that she would just be gone for a short period of time. What they actually did to her in fact was they took her across state lines to some shady clinic where abortions are legal. There was already an appointment that was pre-planned, premeditated and pre-scheduled unbeknownst to her and or her husband. The wife was forced into an abortion. As for the husband he, was transported someplace completely different and as far as anybody knows he is currently being held against his will in one of the many real estate sites owned by the church. If anyone wants any further information on this matter I suggest that you go to the KZbin channel which is called "Growing up in Scientology" and look into the information as it was presented by the owner of that channel a, Mr Aaron Smith-Levin. Aaron, recently did an episode on his show "Growing Up in Scientology" that talked about this case. I believe it is titled "Help........." with a picture of Kendrew holding an orange drink and his brother. To learn more about Kendrew and his wife's disappearance I suggest you watch Andrew Smith-Levin's channel, "Growing up in Scientology". That would be a good place for you to start.

I'm pretty sure you could dismantle most of the organization by making it so that a contract cannot last longer than 100 years. Each Scientologist signs a billion year contract, after you die and leave your body you get 10 years of freedom as a spirit and then you are expected to instantly join Scientology when you reincarnate. They legitimately expect baby you to tell your parents that you want to join Scientology when you reach your next life 😂. I'm honestly surprised that they haven't started approaching young children or parents with young children and telling those parents that their kid is The reincarnation of a Scientologist and that they legally have to join Scientology because of the contract. Any sane parent would laugh the scientologists out of the building and then when they realize that the scientologists isn't joking they would get rightfully pissed. The billion year contract is unenforceable lol. Even if reincarnation is a thing you have no guarantee that you're going to reincarnate as a human and no guarantee that you're going to remember your past life. I believe that one of the tenants of Scientology is that being a Scientologist will allow you to remember your past life or some bullshit like that. I'm honestly surprised that they haven't grabbed some random kid and declared him the new L. Ron Hubbard, but then again David miscavige is having too much fun running his little dictatorship.

Scientologist believe that through Auditing and various other Scientology practices that they literally will not be able get sick. They believe that sickness is caused by thetans in the body and that through Auditing they can Purge the thetans and the illness. Scientologists are not allowed to go to the doctor and if they do go to the doctor it's a Scientology approved one. There have been multiple times where members got cancer and the doctor that they go to lies to them and tells them that they will be fine... They won't be fine, they have cancer. At least that's the way it used to be in the past, they claim that their members are allowed to seek medical attention nowadays. Although recently a Scientologist died of untreated cancer so maybe it hasn't changed. Scientologists view psychology and the study of human behavior as evil. It undermines the tenants of Scientology and makes it easy to see through the bullshit. Anybody who has gone to a course on psychology will immediately see through the manipulative bulshit that Scientology is pulling. Anybody with a psych degree or who is a psychologist is declared a suppressive person and an enemy of Scientology. My degree is pretty useful as it makes me unrecruitable. Scientologists are not allowed to see a therapist or to seek help for their mental health issues. Scientology has promoted psychiatry-related conspiracy theories, including that psychiatrists were behind the Yugoslav Wars and that September 11 was caused by psychiatrists. Scientologists are committed never to take psychiatric drugs and to reject psychology outright. It's so bad that the children of scientologists are terrified of therapists and believe them to be on par with goat and baby sacrificing Satan worshippers. They dedicated an entire museum to the evils of psychology. They do not believe in the concept of mental illness, they believe psychologist to be terrorists and torturers.

He said it was a trap, and compared it to grooming. He was wise man for sure. Interestingly, he had a PHD in Criminology.

@@girlcheck Scientologists can run for office (and vote!), as can any person in a religious organization - tax-exempt or not. We have had rabbis, priests and pastors in political office in America. Taxation with representation first referred to the colonists not being allowed in parliament and having to pay taxes. It later was attributed to people of color and sex who were taxed and not allowed to vote or run for office. In America our separation between church and state means you can believe in whatever dumb thing you want - and you will not be forced to abandon those beliefs by the state. And the government can't favor one religion over another. With that said, religions don't get tax exempt status just because they are a religion - like other non-profits, religious institutions are not taxed because these institutions give support to the the community, which could not survive purely on private support. Scientology can not prove they have significantly helped the community + and have just made L Ron + Davey very rich.

My mum gave me a shock a few years ago and told me that our neighbour when I was a child was part of the scientology cult but that they were no longer members. They had a daughter my age who was my best friend. I went over and over times that I remember spending together and even though my memory is often marveled by people in my life I couldn't remember anything. After we moved we still saw them every year. I caught up with the older sister of my friend years later and nothing she said indicated that she was a scientology member. I didn't even know there was scientology in New Zealand, which in hindsight was very naive but I was still a child.

Thank you for doing this. Very well done! If I may suggest a follow up: take a close look at the children in Scientology, beginning with the Scientology belief that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CHILD. A child is an eternal being (Thetan) that happens to be in a small body. Think very carefully about what that means. Then start asking questions about: • The children of the Cadet Org • The children in the "regular" SeaOrg • Children being audited by adults • Children in the SeaOrg auditing adults • Children used as volonteers under slave labor conditions • Inappropriate relationships between adults and underaged children • The covering up of repeat child predation And so on, and so on. The story of the children of Scientology is the most underreported one. Telling their story is essential and long overdue. Edit: Thank you for making the interview with Jenna Miscavige Hill available! In that interview we get a glimpse of her life in the Cadet Org (at the Castill Canyon School - aka the Ranch). It's a good start!

Within days of receiving the book I also received a call from The Church of Scientology. I was dumbfounded! I couldn't believe these people called me wanting to discuss me joining their religion with me. I had to be rude & eventually hang up on them in order to get them to leave me alone. Frankly, I think it was incredibly creepy that they knew I bought the book at all much less called me out of the blue to try to get me to join their cult simply because I decided to buy a book written by their founder. I have since read the book & it is a collection of ridiculous suppositions & out there thoughts of your typical science fiction writer & a narcissist combined.

Ex- Scientologists say that will be the one main thing that will crumble Scientology. The current numbers of Scientologist globally is estimated to be around 35, 000 people, quite a lot less than David Miscavage claims! Numbers are dwindling!

How how how is Scientology allowed to continue? They must ‘donate’ a ton of money to legislators. Where is Shelly? This is unbelievable
