THIS Is The Most Dangerous Thing About Scientology

[@AndrewGold1]

What could this be? And who shall I talk to next!?

[@Dawnarow]

Hey Andrew! I know exactly how you could grow your channel to millions and avoid getting stranded by the need for following trends / finding exponentially interesting individuals. I think you should become the answer to one of the most egregious mistake of mankind... by allowing people from within the "culprit" to break the barriers. By all this I meant: help rationality become a new standard. I can give the parameters to it along with countless inherent principles by which we 1-abide intuitively (use every day regardless of our culture), 2-consolidate everything that is meant to grow (and discard what isn't), but for now... Here is my suggestion to you: Have two individuals come and share take on faith (mostly Islamic & Christian faith) through quotes from scripture. 2 positive influences and 2 negative influences. Islam hasn't shrunk much in the past few decades and seems to find more success within mindlessness than considerate individuals, but the door that needs to be opened is: "accepting that there are flaws". For centuries, Islamists (more than Christians, but Christians alike) keep stating that there are no flaws within holy scriptures. If a person can find flaws within its pages; that person can easily be considered more rational than not and potentially stands as "more influential" than other theists within their community. Your job would be simple and you would be known for a person that allows conversation and enables people to structure their thought processes. You have a lot of perspective from these interesting interviews. I'm sure your perspective could be shine through as you summarize what people say and how certain thoughts may affect (negatively) a person. In Islam, there is a LOT of black & white thinking (if you're not with us... I will let you finish that sentence). There are a Lot of these formulations in the Quran. The negative influences are endless, but the affiliation to natural drugs that are being induced from repetition creates a stronger "feeling" since the neurons develop a resistance to these chemicals... then they doubt and walk away then Baem a few weeks later they pray again because something bad happened and they feel his presence again. It becomes so "Grandiose" in their mind that you can't really replace the candy that they have in their hands. If pressed, they fall on their sympathetic nervous system and reject any/all logic for it counters their "stability"... they feel personally attacked. Please... try the new series/format. I ask nothing of you no credit nada. I healed from inhaling neurotoxins and - if I had been any bit of unstable / irrational from strange beliefs like this - I would be dead... after healing I got together with a Muslim virgin (30 years old) that I had been friends with for almost a decade... I had consistently tried to instigate a thought process and never went against any of the notions I had shared in the past... always trying to be as kind as possible and she grew fond of me despite being (diagnosed) NPD... the worst person on the spectrum. The influences she took as distraction/entertainment were associated with her take over all the things that she already believed (confirmation bias) and there is nothing that can change this except people that she can relate to... Religious people also developed one additional need that "Atheists" don't need at all... to be accepted without reserve. Its something irrational through which they make each other believe that they're "good" (thats why everyone accepts them initially and then they rationalize the rejection because "it was not meant to be"). Between us, this is unbelievably sad... as if they never had to work on themselves by this simple train of thought that they all share. You are the first to hear about this additional need (while we only need to be : fed, shelted and safe

[@sandralybrand9425]

He's also paid a steep price! He lost his wife of many years and his children as well as constantly being harassed by people hired by Scientologists that continues to this day! They have called him a wife beater and molester and gotten his ex and children saying those things as well!

[@chachoulamour1558]

Well we can, but how is it we have so much trouble giving credit to beneficial actions and "redemption journeys" ? the thing about endoctrination is that they make you do things that you wouldn't if you were elsewhere with someone whos not manipulating you - so yeah accountability is the core, but if we acknowledge the actions, we have to acknowledge the pattern, and the moment they get out of this peculiar state of mind

[@jaysonsorensen594]

People like Mike were indocternated as kids. It doesnt make it okay what he did, but my god it all he knew. Even if he wasnt doing what he was, and just came out and apoligized and went on with his life. He should get forgiven.

Andrew, thank you so much for introducing Jon to me (us). I look forward to learning much more from him going forward. He's fascinating!

[@heartshapedisle]

Sadly not live but edited. Jon Atack is so knowledgeable and kind in his reflections. Saying sorry is one step but carrying through into action demonstrates the apology. Mike Rinder is a shining example of action.

[@adriannabcustomfurniture]

[@eleanoraquitaine2966]

If scientologists really and truly believe they're saving the world, can they provide any data on their progress? What specifically are they conned into thinking they're saving the world FROM and how's that going? Please ask a Scientologist that question, Andrew, if you get a chance.

[@themurrrr]

They provide their own people with fake data. They do not feel they have anything to prove to the outside world, as we are irrelevant. They are saving the world from mankind. It’s all nonsense that, if you look at it too closely, does not add up and contradicts itself at many turns

[@imacmill]

I think that recruiting everyone into Scientology is itself what will save the world. Sorry...*they think* .

[@dondevice8182]

Sadly, every year Miscavige gets up on stage and does a big deal about a bunch of pumped up statistics which means that most average Scilons can quote you a bunch of statistics which are just castles built on sand… Ans as for what they’re saving the world from? Oblivion! Blackness , forgetfulness continuation in a mental prison, or an electric trap! Believe me, these are not the sort of questions trip Scientologists they live for them!

[@TheNinnyfee]

It's basically the 101 of narcissistic abuse. You take people who are struggling and/or open and curious and looking for answers and make them feel wanted, safe, and important compared to other people, especially their loved ones. It's called "divide and conquer" and is so old that it's amazing it is still working. You also address their willingness to work on themselves and their sense of mission and exploit both. Experts on cults say that most people could be lured in with those techniques within 4 days. And I believe that, you just have to figure out what the deepest wish of a person is and give it to them in a way they don't find suspicious. That activates really powerful hormone reactions in the body, which then produces its own drugs and gets you hooked. I was victimized by narcs and later learned their patterns. Always protect yourself when you think someone will fulfill your wishes, especially when you have a bad time or feel desperate, or its "for free".

When I was 12 or 13, I went with friends to the local state show ('fair' in US parlance). A tent was offering 'Free Personalty Tests'. Needless to say, we little girls went inside and completed the 'test'. We were all told that we had Personalty defects that could be corrected if we paid. Years later, I realised who the people running these so-called tests actually were.

[@resipsaloquitur854]

Mike Rinder has absolutely nothing more to apologize for. He has apologized. When he's had the opportunity, he's apologized individually to people he may have wronged, and many of them are now his friends. He has more than redeemed himself, far more. He's done as much as anyone alive to use his knowledge and experience to expose the abuses of the criminal Scientology cult, and he continues to do so.

[@DebraJean196]

I think the only necessary apologies are the face to face ones to people he directly harmed. It’s more than folks get from others who do them great personal harm in other ways. A (ONE) general apology for the rest should suffice. The true apology is making amends to society. His work speaking out is his apology to society, and his first rescue put paid to any societal wrong that may have needed righted. The rest has just been a blessing upon the individual Scn he has helped. Between him and them. And his shared wisdom will save more people than will ever be counted. And if Davey boy is ever prosecuted (or chased into real hiding), and/or the tax exemption is finally revoked, he will have the personal satisfaction of knowing he was instrumental in causing that downfall and potential freeing of all Scn being held - or at least allowing them to regain contact with their families

This was so short!!! Nevertheless, incredibly interesting. I know some of that bullshit(TR's, i.e."maniacal stare"😂 and much more) because in 2002. I went to a "Narconon"- sadly, I went down the path of addiction. It's connected deeply with Scientology and uses some of their practices. One good thing is that I'm from Croatia and we're quite the opposite of Americans. We're tough to manage😂 and it's even more harder to indoctrinate and brain wash us. The program itself is based on something that I preferred, mental work, unlike other communes, the religious ones. Religion, i.e. praying for hours, doing mindless manual work like picking the overgrown grass, painting the walls(for the fifth time in a year😆) is definitely not something that would ever help me. But this sh*t did. I've "taken" the parts that I perceived as useful and those things helped me cope with the"state of being clean". Duh, it's a long story, but it was interesting to hear about some of that practices again. I'd love if you'd have him again. Although, every person you've ever talked to, in your podcast, was fantastic. I really appreciate your efforts, dedication, curiosity(I'm a nosey person...I like to know everything about...everything😏). And thank you for being such a decent, wonderful human being.

I would be ashamed if I gave millions of dollars to an organization. What about the people that don't have show business jobs to afford to pay them big money?

[@dawudalithesowsagepodcaste8688]

Wowzers! @37:42 I now know why I learned "8 Up" in the Navy, early to mid 1990s. Oh my!

In the nineties Sci was very aggressive and bullying people on the street. Hollywood Boulevard, guys on bicycles with walky-talkies. I was there, occasionally doing my sing-along-Scientology Songs. Aggressively paranoid.

[@jacquelineleitch7050]

!!!!woh!!!! This describes thought broadcasting which happens in schizophrenia. This means you know that likely the person who thought up that paranoid bs was likely both psychotic and schizophrenic or schizoaffective.

i'm in a band and last year we recorded a song about scientology called 'Subversion'... soon to be available to the masses - but only if you level up with cash deposits 😂😂😂 Respect & Peace ☘

[@monkeyflower954]

Awesome comment..😝

I worked for a dentist and was fired because I wouldn’t believe in this bs

I can understand brainwashing to a certain degree from growing up in a military family. I always wanted to be a soldier and when I became a soldier and made it home alive I always felt guilty that I didn't die for my country like so many others. I still feel that way today. I've been working on it now for many years and I think I've made some progress, but I don't think it will ever completely go away.

Goodness.

[@jadepaulsen8456]

Don't feel guilty. Just....don't.

[@wendyberger4926]

Dont feel Guilty for having a good star. Let it shine and live a happy life.

[@lexaharpell5823]

Not sure if this helps in some way....during our many horrific bushfires in Aust, I'd spoken and listened to people whose houses were untouched by the fires when their surrounding neighbours homes and possessions were leveled to mere ash. Some felt deep guilt they were 'spared' the horrors of losing everything. I knew 2 families who moved to another state to escape facing their neighbours watching them rebuild their homes, yet never recouping their family personal, meaningful possessions. Others who lost nothing or little, helped neighbours rebuild and became solid friends. Maybe....it is having a deep empathy for others rather than feeling a guilt??? Life is often unfair, yet it is a journey we travel. Hope one day you can turn the thoughts around. Xxxx

Scientology silences people with “the threat of litigation” or the threat of loss of family or the threat of your job and income. Etc etc

[@MissPerriwinkle]

jon is an awesome guy . thx...

[@dennismason3740]

By his own definition L.Ron was insane. The truth thing. I find it difficult to believe that El Ron beat up three Navy M.P.s.

[@kieranoconnor4334]

Brilliant interview!

[@mightymouse473]

yes Andrew, more like this, good work

[@allisonstacey]

Jon Atack is a legend! I know that you said former Order member Amanda Rae never got back to you but I did see her talking to someone who was on your channel so I’m still hoping 🤞

[@ireneharrisonbond3652]

Who is selling stars these days? My daughter bought one for my grandson her cousin when he was born, I just laughed, didn’t think she would be taken in like that,

[@eammbutler1323]

Going to get the audiobook as a start
