The fact that you have to ESCAPE Scientology to get away from it should tell you all you need to know about it.

[Tony.Technics.s]

The only thing that Scientology will clear is your bank account!

[crashoutfm]

Leaving Scientology is like leaving an abusive relationship. You may not make it out alive.

[rileyscott]

I can't believe they killed two of these victims dogs to intimidate them. The murder of the first dog is traumatic enough but the second one too?! What a bunch of psychopaths!

My dad was a lineman before he retired, and was a freelance contractor in his younger years. He was in CA following an Earthquake to repair power line and restore power to the neighborhood, and one of the telephone poles was in front of the Scientologist’s main office building.

They tried to cut down the pole, wiggle it, anything to dislodge my dad who was 18 ft off the ground. They thought he was spying on them. They wrote his license plate information down and were yelling threats up at him. They were trying to kill him.

Finally after he DID nearly fall, he dropped a bell wrench, aiming next to them. This group proceeds to call the cops. Police took everyone’s info, took a look at my dad’s working documents and told them to back up, leave my dad alone, and that he had the right to be there.

They then proceed to stalk and attempt to intimidate my dad (which really didn’t work out well for them) while he finished the job.

That was 30 years ago. THIRTY YEARS! These freaks have had power and influence longer than I’ve been alive.

[jansliger]

Maybe someone needs to investigate how many people have died trying to escape Scientology.

[alanamileras]

Thank you for having Tony Ortega on and for covering Leah's brave stance and shedding light on the alleged atrocities of Danny Masterson and $cientology.

[thisismyinferno]

Leah has been a champion for ex scientologists and bringing awareness to what's happening. It's the best thing that's could have ever happened since anonymous attacked them. She and others have done so much, it's amazing! They're fantastic!

[cazsmith]

Leah and everyone else who had the courage to leave I applaud you. You’re so brave!!!❤❤❤

[cheriatkins]

I Love Leah! She stands up to the Cult of scientology. She is not afraid to stand her ground and help all victims of this Cult. Much love and peace for all the victims 🙏
Thank you Leah, Tony, Mike and Aaron and all that support and that helps all the victims 🙏

[tonyingram]

Leah is just a beautiful lady and she has no reason to lie about things going on in that cult

[bekahshouse]

I love Leah! She is so brave for what she is doing and has done for the victims of $cientology.

[emmbieemmbie]

Even if its temporary, Scientology needs dissolved to give current members an opportunity to get out. If you’ve watched the documentary about Scientology, it is sadistic. It is very easy to mess up and be punished. I don’t feel anyone in the organization truly trusts anyone else because one minute you can be a top dog and the next, doing manual labor on the church grounds until … oh, whenever. To me it’s just a group of people clawing and climbing over one another to avoid being the MOST oppressed person there. Definitely emotionally and mentally abusive…and I guess sexually as well.

[rainmind]

Wasn't the founder of scientology a sci-fi writer before?

[LaLaLonna]

I am also pretty sure that Scientology donates A LOT to the LAPD and I am sure surrounding politicians etc...That is one way they have been able to get away with everything they do. They have a TON of money, and in this country if you are rich the rules usually dont apply to you.

[JoshuaDomoslai]

3 years ago my dad was having heart surgery at Kaiser off sunset blvd in Hollywood. Across the street near where you could street park and side of the street food was on is the Scientology building. That place was creepy. I was out there everyday all day for a week while my dad was there. The workers all seemed very cult like. Didn’t like anyone loitering around on the sidewalks in front of their building. Walking around with clip boards taking notes and a few times was encountered asking me questions and suggesting I come in for free test that could change my life. Very very strange. It’s like a cult running a business

[tonyingram]

Why hasn’t there been a look into where the guys wife is, since she hasn’t been seen in years.

[candeezymarie]

Leah has guts man. She has gone up against the church many times. She's not lying that's for sure.

[resipsaloquitur]

Investigated by the DA or the police in L.A.? This federal DOJ needs to tear into them with teams of investigators and their asinine tax-exempt status is revoked.

[kylaarmstrong-benjamin]

That A-hole knew that he was too popular at the time, and the church wouldn't turn him into the authorities
