I've seen other interviews Jenna did after publishing her book. You can tell that some of the topics brought up are very difficult for her to discuss. I applaud her bravery in speaking out and hope that her message finds its way not only to detractors of the "church" and the general public, but also to others who are going through the same experiences she did.

Scientology for celebrities such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta is a completely different experience than it is for an average person. The more money you have, the more pleasant it is. If you're broke, they will drag the last dollar out of you, If you are a millionaire and powerful they make it like Disneyland for you. I mean look at Tom Cruise, they got him every woman he wanted. They called in Scarlett Johanson so he could decide whether or not to marry her.

theresa42213 No, Scarlett Johansson IS NOT a Scientologist. Around the time Tom Cruise was making "Mission Impossible 3," Scientology started holding "auditions" for actresses to play opposite Tom Cruise in the film. Scarlett was "cast" and walked into a dining room at a Scientology "Celebrity Center," where she was grilled about her suitability to date Cruise. When she realized that she was being ambushed, she politely excused herself and raced for the exit!!

+theresa42213 They tried to trick Jennifer Lawrence into become Tom Cruise's next wife. I quote this form the internet: "Ms. Lawrence says that the two men told her that “Mr Cruise” had appreciated the pictures which were leaked from her hacked iCloud account and was looking forward to meeting her." This was her response on the invite: “Tom Cruise is okay, I guess. He’s a bit short, but he’s good looking and he’s a great actor. If he had asked me out himself, I might have said yes. But seriously, an interview to evaluate if we are compatible? That’s just plain weird! And honestly, I find this Scientology thing a bit creepy. I’m really not into that kind of things you know… Xenu, the auditings and all that crap.”

You can call me 'Reverend Doctor' When you say that Scientology is not so different than any other religion, I think you might be a little wrong. The fact is that Scientology is way out different from any other religion. For starters Scientology IS NOT a religion. It is a manipulative organization which sole purpose is to obtain lots of money. You can be a muslim, Christian, Buddhist if you only have dirt on you. You are not going to be sent to mop the floors with your tongue if you commit a sin. And they are not going to harass you if you leave the church.

If they follow people who leave, it would have to be a select few. From what I understand, the vast majority(like 5/6) of those that have joined the Sea Org since it's inception have now either routed out or blown. They couldn't possibly have resources to stalk most of those. As for why you would pay for a religion, I'll say this: If the church actually delivered what they promised, clear/OT would be heavily UNDER-priced. In my eyes, the CoS' biggest crime is false marketing.

They have no reason to have a military structure. It's worth noting that children of the military are not segregated in camps and separated from all family.

No, she didn't pick those issues out. She mentioned them alongside other things. She mentioned several things and you picked out only "rake leaves and spruce up the grounds". Again, with "picking out" in this case i mean you focussing on minor things within the whole picture she mentioned. About the other points: Look we have completely different moral standards. I believe that trying to break up someone else's marriage and threathening not to be able to see your family is not a good thing.

I couldn't tell you anything about quality of the education at her particular school(and something tells me you couldn't either), but as for the debt, it's not really true. Freeloader's debt isn't legally enforceable so you wouldn't actually owe anyone anything. Hence, the people that pay it do it because they want to. Perhaps because they feel a moral obligation, if nothing else. I also personally know several people that have left the sea org. None of them are currently being stalked.

If someone outside had a job that required them to work all the time and seldom see their kids, would you blame the parents or would you blame their sodding employer?

You can also edit them out on your computer if you upload them. Check out The Daily Show's site - they have a lot of clips.

The Doors : I backed up the Roadhouse and got someone to love. Instead of : The backwater Roadhouse has got some bungalows. The Violent Femmes : Let me out, like a blister in the sun. Instead of : Let me go ON, like a blister in the sun. CelebraTION times, come on ! Instead of : Celebrate GOOD times, come on ! Gosh, there are sooo many songs over the years that were not copyright correct, just through singing it as to how it might be PERCEIVED, but it's not until you get into checking a radio classic track lyrically correct authorship, it puts things into a perspective whereby, well, these days, I like to be accurate.
