The Truth About Escaping Scientology (with Aaron Smith-Levin)

[@dianacryer]

Aaron’s honesty is why I watch his videos. Great interview.

[@dirkjensen969]

Didn't know that his tribe was capable of that

[@michelleleget1785]

Aaron was not the vice president, nor did he run things. He left because he was voted out by the other members. He was not doing things that were ultimately not good for the aftermath foundation. He also didn't run and make all the money. The aftermath foundation was opened and is the brain child of Claire Headley.

[@MarygraceandWilliamConeff]

Aaron's genuine caring about so many to help them leave Scientology is so wonderful.

[@southbug27]

Love A-aron! He’s a great example of turning your pain into your purpose.

[@trisha4797]

Aaron is still the best at explaining Scientology.

[@gamerjaqi7873]

I never get tired of hearing Aaron’s story. It’s always interesting to see where the interviewer goes. Thank you for sharing your platform with Aaron. We have stood with him for years in whatever way we can. ❤

[@dirkjensen969]

❤😂 Aaron "Levin-Smith" the "scientologist" dude we know what's going on

[@AnyRoadRichard]

Dropped in because I saw the interview was with AAron. Love him and his channel. I will check this channel out.

[@bethotoole6569]

Ditto!

[@1984FarmDreams]

I took a deep dive into Scientology after I found myself in Dr Minkoff office. Was trying to figure out how I got there! Thanks for the chat. Aarons videos helped me confirm the gut feeling I had in Clearwater.

[@jamiemiesler322]

Thank you a great interview with Aaron & for bringing the abuses of cult of scientology to more people so they can avoid it & tell others to avoid. Pretty nasty once you’re in the thick of it.

[@Kati-did]

Great Interview! ASL is doing his best to make a change in the world.

[@Quirkalopagus]

I love what the SPTV Foundation community does and will continue to do. Aaron and everyone involved is a rockstar. Thank you for getting this message out more and more. Scientology is a cult! Es una secta!!

[@LadyPamela63]

hiya love!! Hope your well, feels like its been a minute since I seen you in chat xxoo

[@Quirkalopagus]

@@LadyPamela63 Real life has been a thing. Hope you are well!

[@SweetStephee]

Awesome interview, Aaron ❤❤❤

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Very good interview, Adam! Thank you for having our A-a-ron on as a guest! 👍

[@mlr13dst15]

It seems like this is a mental game that they have mastered.

[@sole__doubt]

Life is a mental game and the successful ones are the ones who have mastered it.

[@NeverIn57]

I'm sorry for the loss of your brother A Aron. I blame COS too. Keep fighting the good fight.

[@Maxsmom13]

Great interview. Thank you for helping to shed light on this cult!

[@joshuabray37]

If you ever want to go down an endless youtube rabbit hole, start watching Scientology videos. Wow! Aaron is certainly a great resource.

[@Irishmammy281]

Aaron keeps talking because he can't stand the hypocrisy and damage Scientology does,, how 2 faced they are and down right criminal,,, keep talking Aaron 🇮🇪🕯️

[@valeriebelote]

I love it when I find out I get an unexpected hour with AA Ron🎉❤

[@Tamsyn12003]

That social pressure in groups in Communication Theory we call “Groupthink”. It’s linked to poor individual decision making in numerous studies.

Thank you Aaron you are my hero

[@klsb75]

A-A ron! Fantastic!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@teds5047]

WHAT!?!?!?! Aaron, Good to see you over here but I am not surprised. We seem to overlap quite often. Good to see you.

[@JeanneF77]

Aaron is great. I’ve followed him since the beginning of his KZbin channel. He’s brought alt of other sp’s on and many created their own channels. SPTV was suggested by his followers to loosely tie together all the channels that started with this theme. Love Aaron

[@karenmccourt8240]

I watch Aaron and other SPTV creators all the time. It’s great to see someone outside the community with a reach like you have, Andy, bring this information to people that may not ever see it. Thank you ❤️🇨🇦

[@LadyPamela63]

At around the 2 and half minute mark, just before Aaron comes on you flashed his name and his last named was transposed,,,,correct everywhere else though lol just an fyi lol At this point I can pretty much tell Aarons story myself lol I've heard it sooooo many times, but I always learn something new it seems and just love listening to my youtube bro!!!! Thanks to you both xoxo

[@jlondon423]

Huge fan of Aarons. Great interview!!

[@reneepolin6549]

AAron also had to pay back what the church calls " Free Loader Debt"

[@kathyklarfeld2971]

This was a fantastic video. Thank you. I have watched Aaron for almost 2 yrs now and you get what yo see. He is so authentic and enjoyable to watch.

[@cyndiluwho]

A A Ron!! ❤

[@vegan3650]

what they say and what they do are on different planets.

[@AJohnSmith]

Same with many zealots.

Right on Aaron! ❤️

[@jasontrick837]

Great Content as always. Thank you both Gents

[@annettecuthbertson9514]

Go Aaron ❤🎉

[@Horseshoemagic]

Love this interview. You kept Aarons normally wandering thoughts in a wonderful direction. This is my first contact with your channel. I subscribed plus hit the like button, because you impressed me.

[@MontanaJim419]

Thank you!

[@debibam0424]

Great interview! Really enjoyed it. Have such respect for you both.

[@fionastube2011]

Outstanding interview, and I am already well acquainted with Aaron. New sub now.

If someone is never heard from again, there is a very good chance she is not on an 'eternal mission'.

[@marfta7414]

Amazing subject and interview! First time seeing your channel and now subscribed.

[@cherylnasco1866]

This came up on my feed an I'm SO GLAD it did!! Now I a new subscriber 😊 I alway love it when Aaron is the one being interviewed for a change!! 😊

[@IngridKB]

Great interview

[@Dfoto679]

There’s an old biblical saying that the devil speaks 99% truth one percent lies, and that one percent lie is what hooks you. Interesting to hear you say exactly that about Scientology.

[@maggiemay5510]

Excellent Interview !!!

[@sole__doubt]

Imagine thinking anything with a "billion year contract" is something worth being part of.

[@groundedingrace]

Great interview!

[@mariegrenier3204]

Ok dokey for being who you are Aaron. That's what we need to shine a light on these scientologist scammers, yes I said scammers 😊

[@lorimarie8677]

Fantastic interview!

[@lloorri6]

Aaron ❤

[@maytheforcebewithyou4313]

This needs 200k views!! Getting the algo out❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@montrealsquirrelgirl]

Aaron ❤❤❤

[@iam_sp_artacus]

I would love to hear Louis Theroux's thoughts on Marty Rathbun getting paid off by Scientology.

[@rosemariemosareetropf3323]

great interview!! informative! fast paced ❤️🙏

[@RobbieLavender]

I haven’t watched this yet. I’m about ready to, but I guarantee you Aron cries in this interview. 😂 I’m not throwing shade. He’s just an emotional dude and I don’t blame him.

[@reneepolin6549]

AAron Founded the Aftermath Foundation with his Heart but Mike Stole it with his EGO

[@Newbobdole]

It’s a shame ASL was deprived a historical education, in terms of personality cult & measures of control there are some stark parallels between… LRH & Hitler Miscavige & Bormann (Very similar) Cruise & Geobbles

[@m2000lbs]

I need to get my husband OUT. He's scared I'm scared so much secrecy

[@WaioraNewth]

Scientology is not neighboring yet. Why? That is what i would loved to know?! Period!?

[@reneepolin6549]

LRH said no fundraising . Only selling books and programs

[@dianacryer]

I don’t think Dave believes anymore. If he did he wouldn’t change all the stuff he has. It’s just his personal kingdom, where’s he’s king.

[@spaceman61]

this started in the 70's. I remember Dianetics by L Ron Hubbard, I thought it was stupid, still do

[@dianeblackwell9461]

Well done Aaron. This interview could've gone another hour

[@Helpfromabovealways]

Found you from Aaron. Great interview

[@inesdecastro2522]

Thank you for this great interview. I wonder if it ever occurred to Aaron that the success of his chanel may have been backed up by the fact that he has been such a successul Technical secretary in the Church of Scientology and that he is hence well acquainted with the actual materials of Scientology both technical and administrative. The only thing he lacks is t , and imho its not negligeable, the experience of being audited and auditing others and self through the whole bridge from bottom to the upper levels. Something that would have brought him a chance to have a wider tunderstanding of what it is all about. Aaron’s intelligence , diligence , ability to quickly bounce back , honesty and passion for what he engages in also contributes to his successful endeavour but his actual knowledge of Scientology’s core is key imho. 🙏🧡

[@inesdecastro2522]

@lovethescience1028Thank you for your comment. I understand, however when one has not crossed the Bridge on both sides to the very top, one has no clue what the tech is all about nor can one assess wether it breeds results or not. Aaron has a lot of genuine knowledge about Scientology tech but very little if no subjective knowledge at all of what the various levels are all about. He many times mentioned how he avoided going in session with an auditior. As all staff members he probably received loads of security checks on the meter but these have nothing to do with actual auditing as delineated on the grade chart. There is a very dark abusive side to Scientology I completely agree. Specially but not exclusively under the reign of Miscavige. But this is one aspect of a much wider picture which bears validity. Although I have no connection at all with Scientology nowadays this is what my own experience with it in the 70’s taught me. 🧡🙏

[@altheamcnabb2829]

Yay. Wheeeeeee. More info spread about that cult.

That was a weird cutoff.

[@yamric]

Andy, here is someone you might enjoy interviewing: Shoshana Zuboff. Her 2018 book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. is eye opening.

[@gregvisioninfosoft]

What did he mean about 'volcanos'? Ive not heard that story yet...

[@charleshowd9784]

Watch Southpark

[@barbarawillis-bergholm9020]

Long story- Founder said in another galaxy the leader-Xenu, got rid of half the people on overpopulated planet by putting them in planes and dropping them into volcanoes on Earth. Volcanoes exploded and all these souls were flung out and collected onto each person on Earth (called body thetans). But only Scientologists with lots of money ever hear that story- shhh it’s a secret they have to pay for to hear. But it’s all over the internet- lol!

[@MaryJames-si6fp]

South Park (the episode is called “Trapped in the Closet”) explains it well.

[@xsyte1]

Love Aaron

[@nestedward]

Great interview Andy! Keep it up!

Why would I wanna buy a knife only to find out I actually didn’t buy a knife

[@jch8376]

I believe the "Tone Scale" was plagiarized from the Chakra.

[@kelliintexas3575]

Yes LRH stole 98% of his ENTIRE program. Hence why it resonates with alot of people when they first take a course. That's the hook. LRH was an award winning conartist. The insane part is there is ALOT of m×litary int×llig×nce ties deeeeeeeeeep in the background. LRH was an Occultist who practiced with numerous N@zis we brought over after the war. Even Vonbrahn who founded N@SA & designed the At×m B×mb along with Alister Crowley. We won't get into the 10 or so head Scientologist who founded the M×litary Industrial Complex remote viewing program, and today's TicTac/ ATIP program 🤯🤫🧐

[@kelliintexas3575]

Disconnection from Jehovah Witness, Demanding a percentage of your entine net worth regaurdless of income & insane course costs from Mormons.

[@Sun-d7x]

The questions are: do they like folks only if they are successful and what is success in West? Of course much money in opposit to terrible. Luckily I experienced new the wise knowledge: in seldom cases money is not enough or everything. It is a theory: in the West you can become what you want. And love is very important, also in the very public theme how to plan a family. This brain scan activities are very ugly. That is more th@n a spied human. It is ineffectiv. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@manuellubian5709]

Interesting Tech Noir trick. Not quite sure I like the idea of you having your guests in black and white. The guest is the person or persons you want to highlight not put in the semi shadows in a way. I've also I'm from a different generation altogether black and white for us was usually thought of as you're putting a spotlight on someone that's sketchy Technicolor and then your guest is in black and white.

[@jnice6263]

Not cool. Why would you cut it off at the end. Hella rude

[@angelcastillo7249]

joining a cult is insane people who go down that road need no empathy.

😂 truth about escaping scientology and not the cult of psyoptic abrahamics religions 😂. Next episode on psyop operations

[@watkinsinc.7147]

A lot like Catholic cults it seems.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

@watkinsinc.7147 Naw. Not even close. No one would ever be tracked, harassed, hounded, or sued for daring to speak against the Catholic Church. NOPE. You KNOW better. There are no "catholic cults", so...try again. Take your truly ill-informed hate elsewhere.
