This is an interesting interview along the lines of this subject.

Did anyone watch the first episode of season 2? I had it on but was kinda just half paying attention. The first thing I noticed was the incredibly expensive house they interviewed the two women at. I need to go back and rewatch it.

You all know about this movie, right?

I finally watched this recently.

It was kind of........bland. There were are few good parts to it, but a whole lot of it was just rehashing what we've already seen before (especially in Going Clear).

It was okay, but not not as interesting as other things about Scientology I've seen. In fact, while watching it I was wondering what the point of it was. What new ground was he breaking? Most of this I felt like I'd seen before.

This is heartbreaking. Those two women. I wanted to go and hug them.

Do you not know what post-tax dollars are?

It was definetly tough to hear them relive all of those horrible things. It really is shocking that they continue to get away with these things.

For the Leah Remini fans:

She is being reunited with Kevin James in Kevin Can Wait, season 2.

She appeared in 2 shows the previous season, and now they are killing off the first wife (Erinn Hayes), and gradually working Remini back into the show.

I almost don't want to share this because the less people who know, the better....but, it's so weird-ass, I have to post (I didn't see mention of it around here, but if I missed it, I'm sure someone will let me know):

There's a scientology network now on directv. I was just scrolling through channels and happened upon it, and it looks like it was launched in March.

All these fake people are so freaky and this all so bizarre.

It's been there for years. It's called LHN.

I had commercials for it pop up while watching baseball games on SEC+ on the WarchESPN app. I thought it was a joke at first.

Let's start a petition to the White House to tax scientology.

I saw the same adds and purposely turned it on one day and waited for the War Department to wonder what the hell I was watching.

Seems like Scientology was relatively benign until Miscavige.

Replying to an old post, I know...

For a long time Scientology/Dianetics was a self-help/self-improvement system that largely made its money the same way it does today. They convince you that enlightenment is just on the next book...and the next book...and the next video...and the next therapy session, ad infinitum. They converted to a religion about the time Miscavige took over to get around taxes and certain protections. These people have some shrewd lawyers and con men running the operation.

I remember the tv ads for the L. Ron Hubbard book (Dianetics?) as a kid. Dude is a complete psychopath, more than likely a child molester, and definitely an abuser of women. The influence and persuasion abilities of people like him, Jim Jones, and Charles Manson is amazing.

After watching the series, weren't these people already sort of quarantined and not allowed to leave the ship anyways?

Why can't their tax free status be revoked? Is that hard to do legally?

True, but before they didn't have limbo contests and a Guy Fieri hamburger place.

Don't wanna derail an old thread, but where is Redstone? I kept waiting for all this crazy evidence to drop about pizza sex slavers and it never came to be. Almost like it was complete hose***** Weird...

Uh, I'm right here, when I'm not reading Tony Ortega, Jon Atack, and Russell Miller, and watching The Master.

I know more about Hubbard and his Crowley-inspired Luciferianism than anyone on this board.

If you want my opinions about "Pizzagate," read the 22 pages of the Conspiracy thread on Politics.

Edit: I also read Mike Rinder's blog everyday, and watch all YouTube videos of Aaron Smith-Levin and Ron Miscavige.
