I think things weren't great under Hubbard - he's the one who came up with disconnection and fair game and all that. That's why I think it is impossible to have an off-shoot where people who like the "tech" can use it without the terrible stuff, because a lot of the terrible stuff really is baked in to the whole thing. Hubbard built a cult and all the negative stuff that comes with that.
But it does appear that Miscavige is a million times worse. Not only going around beating people, but it appears Miscavige also is responsible for rewriting the levels or making up new levels or rewriting the books all to bilk more money out of people.

Didn't LRH end up basically imprisoned in his own cult with trusted aides dismissed and questions raised about his end of life care?

I don't get A&E so I've caught all the episodes on Youtube and Putlocker.The dog story was crazy and funny. I've kind of got a crush on Mike Rinder now.

I watched episode 1 on the A&E website, but all subsequent episodes are behind a cable logins, and I don't have cable so I can't watch. Boo. I love my Scientology stuff so it's killing me not to be able to watch this. They usually replay the previous episode before a new one airs, and Youtube has the first 3 episodes on their site. I told my mom about the doggie disconnection, and we laughed until we cried. The shunning of the grandkids made me sad though. Where they're not perfection, a lot of people have been putting up the episodes on YouTube as well. You might find them on places like DailyMotion or a few other torrent sites. I wonder if Hulu will put them up or if they'll come to Netflix at some point?

I feel sorry for Mike Rinder because it really does feel like he's living in Clearwater all the in hope that his son will want to leave the CoS. I don't know how healthy it is for a person to stay that close the the HQ of the cult they fled. I believe that Aaron fellow (and his suppressive dog) are also still in Clearwater.
I think that's why a couple episodes ago when they were in Denver Leah was all, "Isn't this a nice town, Mike? You should TOTALLY live in a place like this!" I think she also believes he needs to get out of Clearwater.

I was able to watch several episodes on YouTube. For the suppressive dog episode, something was wrong with the audio and everyone's voice was about an octave lower than normal, but I still enjoyed it.
I wonder what comes next for her. I admire her tremendously.

I want these exposés to keep on keeping on. They're getting under the skin of the Clams and they're really fascinating. Either way I've been enjoying them tremendously.

On a completely goofy level, I really want Mike and Leah to be really good friends in real life. This is a great buddy show, too.

I would totally watch a show called "Mike and Leah Go To Lunch" where they just eat sandwiches and shoot the shit. They have good chemistry. I really hope season two happens and I hope Mike is still a part of it.
