I'm excited for that one! I still need to read her book.

Leah went on Ellen and really hit a nerve I'm sure with a lot of the $cienos still involved with the church while plugging her docu-series. (Video in link below) She's also seeking $1.5m from the CO$ for the damage they inflicted on her and her family.

Is anyone still watching Leah's A&E show? It's amazing.
They're exposing this shit show for the monsters that they are. Some of the stunts they pull were news to me. In this week's episode, they revealed about how Sea Org members that are married (the only way members can have sex) MUST get abortions if the wives ever get pregnant. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I never knew that. I knew about the no sex until marriage rule, but why make it a rule and just ban sex altogether? Allowing them to have sex once married opens up a massive chance of pregnancy. Plus, without their belief in meds, they couldn't even use birth control. Insane. I mean, I get it, they're insane. But that's just condescending double talk.
I feel like without getting a massive intake from 'new' parishioners, they'll just die off and have to rely solely on celebrities and their pocketbooks. If not then, maybe they can be exposed for being a false religion as a non-profit and a sadistic cult that is killing, torturing and abusing their members. Fat chance, but one can hope.

I have read Mark Headley's book (I swear I am not paid to plug it), and it's damn powerful shit. I haven't gotten to see this week's show, but last week's on David Miscavige, featuring his dad, was fucking terrifying. I mean they have so little compassion/care for the family unit. It's appalling!

I've just gotten almost completely caught up. The episode focusing on David Miscavige was chilling. That man is a sociopath.
I was also particularly moved by the woman (can't recall her name) whose son Sammy disconnected with her after she left. Mike Rinder broke down in tears during her story, I'm sure thinking of his adult children who disconnected with him when he left.
Absolutely appalling the way Scientology abuses its parishioners. I can't believe nothing can be done about it on a Federal level.

This week's episode was riveting, mainly when the Headleys described how they escaped. The fact that it's apparently such a harrowing ordeal for people to leave a "religion" just pisses me off so much.
And I think it's wonderful that they're still together even though they got married so young and didn't really know each other well until after they left.

The Headleys' episode was hard to watch, especially when she broke down over aborting their first child. I'm glad they got out and have 3 lovely children, but man...the guilt she felt because she agreed to the abortion was heartbreaking. This is not normal behavior. How do those Sea Orgs not realize none of what they are being asked to do is normal requirements to practice your faith.

And how they gave stories about how people were constantly escaping and being told as much. I mean to use the worlds ESCAPE to describe someone no longer being at the church is haunting. Why that doesn't start to hit them like a ton of bricks is beyond me.

What is the reasoning behind forced abortions? Don't they want their members to reproduce to keep the "religion" going?
