Thetans in Young Bodies

Ex-Scientologists Leah Remini and Mike Rinder continue their mission to expose and give voice to the victims of Scientology practices. Mirriam and Saina, two women raised together inside the Church of Scientology’s now defunct Cadet Org, share heartrending stories of abandonment and sexual abuse. With Leah’s moral support, they both take a courageous step toward achieving justice.

Any organization that tells me that I have to cut off contact from my love ones has got to go.

secondly this guy was original a sci fi writer, and I've read some of their instructions, weird to say the least.

I'm surprised they haven't had Leah killed. Disappeared. Gone. Poof!

How can they call themselves a church.
Never heard a word about Christ.

This is a great show. Remini is brave to take such a public stand against this dangerous cult.

$cientology is one the most frightening cults out there - good on Ms. Remini to take them on. It does look, thankfully, as if they're on the decline.

Well, technically, that's not a requirement, certainly not in the legal sense. But the story of how Scientology did acquire its status as tax exempt is - interesting. Blackmail, infiltration, setting up a phony organization to protect IRS "whistleblowers", the works.

Their incredible pouting that they couldn't crack Germany's authorities in the same manner was fairly delicious, though.
