Charles Manson said Scientology was too crazy for him, just let that sink in

[MikeA]

Beware of any group, or government, that separates parents and children, for ANY reason.

[fortitude]

Scientology is Banned in Germany . Official reason "we saw this in the past". Says everything !

[mrzillas]

Scientology is not interested in poor people.

[SuperDrLisa]

Thank God for people like Leah Remini and Paul Haggis willing to put themselves out there to destroy this cult.

[SIMKINETICS]

I was introduced to Scientology by neighbors in 1964, and went & agreed to an 'audit'. They called me back to discuss the results, and claimed that I was too critical! I said "You're damn right I'm critical, and *that's* why I'm not joining your organization!"

What type of church tells you if you leave there will be consequences ? What church makes you sign a million year contract ? People please there's your sign.

[williamridgesr.]

Charles Manson studied Scientology, but said it was too crazy for him.

[markreed]

The missing wife of the leader should be a clue of what will happen OK

[lotrgirl]

Just signed up to be a teacher for a well-known nationwide company here in Germany and we had to sign in our contract that we are in no way affiliated or sympathize with Scientology and/or the founder and his ideas lol

[mistiandamelia]

Leah's tv series "Scientology and it's Aftermath" is really good. It's so heartbreaking. Leah and Mike and all their guests are so courageous.

My sister had a friend who was almost tricked into joining this cult. Here’s what happened:

She got accepted into this acting school in LA, so her dad took her to check it out. While they were asking her questions, her dad found out that the school was founded by Scientology and all of the faculty were members. He ran into the room, grabbed her, and drove back home before they could brainwash her. So yeah…gotta watch out for that.

It broke my heart when I found out the man I'm dating was disowned from his family and kicked out of the house because he didn't follow them into the Scientology religion at fifteen..

[GodlessScummer]

What may be a little known fact about Lisa Marie Presley leaving Scientology is that she helped out Ron Miscavage (Father of Scientology leader David Miscavage) after he was being harassed when he left Scientology. Apparently Lisa Marie was absolutely disgusted that David Miscavage would treat his own father that way.

[jimsmith]

Nicole Kidman should be #1 on this list. The story of how she was indoctrinated into Tom Cruise's life by Miscavige and then villainized after she left Scientology, and how this adversely affected their children gives her the top spot. She also connected with Katie after her divorce as they had a lot to talk about.

[marybruun]

How in the hell can Tom Cruise be ok with not seeing his own child? They must really cater to his ego

[sweetpotato]

To say Paul Haggis "made fun of" Scientology was very poor wording. He bravely told the world about all the horrible things they did to him.. he didn't make fun of it omg

[Jimmersaunt]

You know, I am a Catholic and I have my criticisms of the Catholic Church-but I’m not worried that they will ever investigate me, or try to ruin my life if I don’t agree with them on everything they say. Something just isn’t right about a religion that can’t handle criticism of itself.

[katherineknapp]

Congrats to everyone who left that evil, ruthless, soulless cult!

[hellepost]

Claiming to be a Christian & Scientologist 🤔 that’s some matter of contradiction miss Lewis‼️
