They’re no different to any of the current “established” religions.

I’ve never understood how Scientology gets away with something like the hole. How is it not either kidnapping or false imprisonment?

[@jugurthasyphax6341]

Because it's probably in a greyer area than that. Remember, even most mistreated scientologists still believe in the religion and many Hole residents are likely convinced either that they deserve it, or at least that they can earn back their position and get back on the Bridge to total Freedom if they suck it up. Most probably despise Miscavige but since he controls the church and they're not ready to leave and disconnect from everyone and everything they know, they feel they have no other choice but to play along. Debbie's situation does sound like actual kidnapping, but I guess in most cases they don't actually point a gun at you. More like tell you: "Are you sure you wanna leave? You know what happens if you do..."

The former executives can testify to direct conversations with Miscavage and also to his actions as seen first hand.

One day Miscavage may find himself criminally prosecuted for his physical abuse of people along with anyone who took part in it.

@@andysmith1996 Honestly, it's not really any dumber than most other religions. The main difference is that it's so recent. There are still plenty of people around that actually knew Hubbard as he only died in 1986. Meaning that while the religion is a little over 70 years old, there are a lot of people that are still living who met him and interacted with him. It makes it a lot easier for people to call BS on than even the LDS where at least Joseph Smith died in 1844, so the likelihood of meeting somebody who met somebody who met somebody who met somebody that met him may not even be possible. Personally, I'm not a Scientologist or Mormon, I can't say I really care one way or another, but it's worth realizing that the main difference is that these are recent religions, and especially in the case of Scientology, where the standards for what is believable probably should be a bit higher.

I think a lot of it is that 1) we only care about missing or kidnapped minors 2) Scientology can do whatever it wants with minors if the parents are brainwashed into signing the 'church' their parental rights away, which they almost always are, the parents are controlled by the auditing system and wanting to get to the next level. So anything they want to make a parent sign, they will. Same with adults signing away their rights in other ways. Like, when they're in the hole, they technically agreed to be there. It's kind of like being abused at a private party where the only other person there is the host and they have a lot more money and power than you, so you CAN leave and you CAN accuse them publicly when you do, but you kind of are going to have a hard time exercising the rights you have on paper. But it's mostly a case of don't underestimate how far people are willing to go when they think these rewards and punishments are real and they've become addicted to the approval of the organization.

That was super interesting! Praying you stay safe from the bad weather, Aaron!

[@cynnajackson4556]

I’ve been checking daily for your next video and boy was this one incredible. I’m so glad that you shared the excerpt from Debbie cooks trial… How in the world could anyone think that this is a religion and not a cult!?! I hope you and your family are safe with the hurricane

[@starthomasYoung]

Be safe! Prayers and good thought

[@carolinelvsewe]

Please up date us that you’re ok, Aaron!

[@onewarpedangel8335]

Stay safe!! All of Florida will be in my thoughts!!

[@mitchpilchuk7916]

Debbie Cooks story is horrific. Thank you for sharing it.

[@listrahtes]

And hers is a story of a celebrity inside Scientology,. Think of all the serious crimes commited inside scientology were victims were forbidden to report and even had to suffer being blamed for things like rape, serious physical harm...etc. horrific like you wrote

A-A-Ron!! That’s fascinating,, I never even considered it from that perspective. Of course,,,, that’s why I watch YOU! To keep me informed with all the goings on. I’ve contacted a couple of the ‘law’ YTers and the only response to will they be covering the Masterson case was hesitancy. EDB said on a recent video that she worked with someone (when she was in the DAs office) that COS was fair gaming and it was pretty bad. So she may not be willing,, it’s understandable. I’m going to keep trying,, this case deserves more attention. If I find anyone I’ll let you know.

Another cracking video well executed. I find your videos fascinating and insightful. Thank you for making them.

How is Scientology not shut down and criminally charged???

[@sabrinagana]

Wow. What a brave lady. Debbie Cook. 💜 You’re testimony was very amazing.

[@elizabethstein6180]

Thank you for promoting Mike's book. I didn't know about it until I watched one of your videos. I bought a copy for myself and my mom. Thank you for working so tirelessly to explain and expose this organization.

[@GrowingUpInScientology]

Awesome!

[@roberttalbot1658]

Im not sure if it's been verified as true, but supposedly Charles Manson once said that Scientology was to crazy. Let that thought percolate !! 🙀

Could you discuss this subject, if true: During the pandemic, 2020, I saw reports from people living in Hemet, California near the Scientology compound reporting that during the lockdowns they saw a huge influx of inbound materials, i.e. trucks, shipping containers, construction materials ect. Thank you

[@GrowingUpInScientology]

That’s very interesting. I’ll have to try to dig up some information about it.

Looking forward to you being on LegalBytes! I love Alyte and her coverage of cases is very fair and balanced.

[@jimreed6875]

Hello Aaron. I watched that episode you recommended of Scientology, the Aftermath. Now, I understand why you have such a bone to pick with Scientology and Mr. Miscavige.

[@amygreene259]

Stay safe Aaron!

[@drewrussell-alchin6716]

debbie is so brave for her testimony. thanks for your videos :)

[@tinat5484]

I would love to get your take on what you think of the allegations against Paul Haggis. It seems so obvious that Scientology is behind this.

[@GrowingUpInScientology]

I wish I had enough information to have an opinion about it

[@Tjalve70]

I find it interesting that victims of child labour trafficking need to sue their abusers in order for anything to happen. I thought the police was supposed to take action when laws are violated. Has even the police been privatized in USA? Is there no such thing as laws anymore?

[@darthplagueis13]

Remember: NDA's only cover what is actually legal. A non-disclosure-agreenent cannot stop you from reporting crimes.

[@LambentLark]

I checked out Scientology along with a bunch of other religions in my late teens early 20's. Even before I had accumulated so many life experiences, my BS detector was going off like a car alarm in a bad neighborhood. Anyone that demands you pay them money for salvation, is running a scam.

Napoleon syndrome. Can't believe he's still walking around free. The tax exemption needs to be ripped from this organization.

Thank you for watching and commenting

[@johnnelson8956]

I've read that both Tom Cruise and John Travolta were both high ranking members of Scientology. But reports have recently stated that Travolta has begun to distance himself from the church. I'm wondering if he has grown enough backbone to speak out yet? It would very interesting to hear about his personal experiences.

[@kelhapam]

I really think it would be fitting punishment for Miscavige (sp) to share a jail cell with Warren Jeffs. It would be pay-for-view TV.
