From what I understand Scientology is all about hooking you in before revealing anything about the religion

someone needs to wear a hidden camera to one of these things.

"I wish you the best." As a journalist you are automatically an enemy of the church and from your first audit, a folder was created with your name on it which would follow you through your time in Scientology; a whole history of you, your thoughts, and the experiences of your life. Over time those folders accumulate and should you ever decide to leave the church, people would pour through that information to use against you if you choose to speak against them. So much has been written about the church since you did this piece. Just hope you were not sucked in.

Sounds like a light hypnotism.

Don't ever wish Scientology the best. You should read The Unbreakable Miss Lovely Scientology is a cruel cult so glad you didn't join! Read Leah Remini's Book Trouble Maker very informative reads

Their timetrack would be more than just your life as most people think of it, they believe you are independent of the body you currently operate, so it is the trillions of years in which you have had many mortal lives/bodies.

I read train timetables as a kid. Red flags!

I love the movie the master. I had no idea it was based on this

THIS IS 💯💯💯HYPNOSIS

What if you go in for an audit, but you don't have any painful memories? Do they not let you join unless you're depressed or stressed or what?

I had the same experience in Copenhagen

The "Timetrack" or the "whole track" is not only your lifetime, but (supposedly) the timelives of this life and all your past lives...

lol great video

She got that right `It feels like 1984`. If anyone hasn`t seen this film, go and watch it. That`s Scientology in a nutshell.

interesting AJ+

Kifflom!

It reminds me a bit of my indoctrination sessions in Walmart, but with less computer screen action. 'Not in my Walmart!'

03:43 They in Scientology are not allowed to define two major things: 1) Xenu 2) "body-thetans" Xenu's the bad guy who dumped zillions of surplus souls onto earth, damaged souls that infest ALL humans on earth today. We are supposedly being effected by our loads of surplus souls that infest our bodies. Xenu's just the bad ancient space leader from another star system who dumped these damaged souls here on earth, the South Park episode "Tom Cruise Won't Come Out of the Closet" episode, has the Scientology secret story. But simply, the surplus souls that infest us all today, supposedly, are called "body-thetans" and Scientology isn't allowed to explain either Xenu or "body-thetans" publicly. Intro Scientology cannot explain this. Only ex members are good at explaining this simply. Existing Scientologists are incapable and disallowed from explaining it. In a nutshell, 5 of 8 of the "upper levels" of Scientology are exorcism quack therapy to exorcise the "body-thetans" off of a Scientologist's body! When Tom Cruise was jumping on Oprah's couch, he had coincidentally also completed ALL 5 of the Scientology exorcism levels, LOL! YOu become a fully brainwashed Scientologist when you get up to believing you are infested with your own custom load of "body-thetans" and you pay to exorcise all your "body-thetans" off your body, for years, since completing the 5 exorcism levels of Scientology takes years! That's way way way up ahead for anyone who gets stuck into Scientology! Skip it! Now you know.

Not sure why I watch these crazy cult videos but it's interesting. I can't believe people fall for this shit. Leah Remini..YOU GO GIRL!

Scientology want your MONEY.

So great, thanks for this introduction. Made me also want to visit such a place to see it myself. The whole thing looks so unreal, and they hide so many things!

Engrams are not memories... Aren't memories primarily just visual? Like a bin full of old photographs. Anyway that's not how I understood them, but the definition may have been changed by the Scientology side. Re-experiencing the engram is supposed to draw its energy, neutralizing it. LRH got that idea from psychoanalysts. You didn't mention feeling euphoric or laughing, maybe the example you gave her was not a real memory? Not sure why she asked you to think of a pleasurable moment, she was supposed to ask you to move to another engram associated with the first one you mentioned. They are tied together by association, making what they called chains in Dianetics. The auditor is supposed to try moving backward or forward in time to reveal the next one. Once there are none left you were declared "clear" but I am under the impression that the definition of clear was changed a few times. Anyway. Once "clear" you supposedly have fewer hangups (literally) and more energy, you may be more conscious during the day instead of being run by reactions or habits feeding off you. I liked Dianetics auditing, not sure whether it really does anything tangible or not but it was an interesting experience. I did feel different but that may have been a placebo effect. I wasn't sold on the religion aspect, I have always been extremely sceptical of bureaucratic / organized religions. A young fellow from SeaOrg came to give a talk but my intuition rebelled, what he was saying seemed just plain wrong to me. I remember asking him about Gandhi and he had nothing coherent to say. I left after that. That said, I am not impressed by how they explained things to you. Pretty wishy-washy if you ask me.

hahahaha This is real, Now i know that South park have many reals things HAHAHAHa

LoL! They use fractionation seduction technique :D

'200 questions' ,,,,, Yes ,, bcos they are restated 4 or 5 times in order to verify your true opinion on a particular reference point. What else didnt you understand ?

What is ethnicity Francesca Fiorentini? I love her last name :)

"75 million years ago, the galactic overlord for this sector of the galaxy was called Xenu. He was in charge of 76 planets, including Earth (at that time known as Teegeeack). All of the planets Xenu controlled were over-populated by, on average, 178 billion people. Social problems dictated that Xenu rid his sector of the galaxy of this overpopulation problem, so he developed a plan. Xenu sent out tax audit demands to all these trillions of people. As each one entered the audit centers for the income tax inspections, the people were seized, held down and injected with a mixture of alcohol and glycol, and frozen. Then, all 13.5 trillion of these frozen people were put into spaceships that looked exactly like DC8 airplanes, except that the spaceships had rocket engines instead of propellers. Xenu's entire fleet of DC8-like spaceships then flew to planet Earth, where the frozen people were dumped in and around volcanoes in the Canary Islands and the Hawaiian Islands. When Xenu's Air Force had finished dumping the bodies into the volcanoes, hydrogen bombs were dropped into the volcanoes and the frozen space aliens were vaporized. However, Xenu's plan involved setting up electronic traps in Teegeeack's atmosphere which were designed to trap the souls or spirits of the dead space aliens. When the 13.5 trillion spirits were being blown around on the nuclear winds, the electronic traps worked like a charm and captured all the souls in the electronic, sticky fly-paper like traps. The spirits of the aliens were then taken to huge multiplex cinemas that Xenu had previously instructed his forces to build on Teegeeack. In these movie theaters the spirits had to spend many days watching special 3-D movies, the purpose of which was twofold: 1) to implant into these spirits a false reality, i.e. the reality that WOGS (Hubbard's derisory term for anyone not a Scientologists) know on Earth today; and, 2) to control these spirits for all eternity so that they could never cause trouble for Xenu in this sector of the Galaxy. During these films, many false pictures and stories were implanted into these spirits, which resulted in the spirits believing in all the things that control mankind on Earth today, including religion. The concept of religion, including God, Christ, Mohammed, Moses etc., were all an implanted false reality that to this very minute are used to control WOGS on Earth." -L Ron Hubbard

Great art work on the video! Something was skipped. Either the session was not completed, or you didn't relate the whole session. Lots of great detail and visuals! Enjoyed it, but something is not quite complete here.

No, no. Tell me that you never went back. OMG, not you... don't let them take you.

Is that Francesca? She sounds a little "at risk" ... If being pulled in before she stops playing with fire.

I really wonder if anyone has ever tried auditing with LSD or mushrooms.

I love you.

Lame you should have brought a camera

10/10 would go to ask about Xenu then chicken out.

YEAP she's a REPORTER investigating SCN/ Read the Dianetics BOOK and find out for yourselves the VALUE of this work.

Well, that doesn’t explain anything.

They're really friendly and hospitable to people going in for the first time. Their aim is to make you feel like they want to help you and like you belong. The point of auditing is two-fold, one is that it puts you into an emotionally-compromised state by making you go over traumatic memories for hours. The other is that it collects information on you that helps them profile ways to strike back at you if you leave or criticize the church. When you submit yourself to auditing, you're basically going to an extreme gaslighting version of confession.

Anyone here from Logan Paul's Hopsin podcast?

Cool :P

I grew up in this religion. Was in it for 21 years. I’m sorry but this is so inaccurate. I’m super against the church I just hate people acting like they actually wet through this for views ( or clout?) when many were actually traumatized

Charging people large amounts of money to learn things just to pay more to take more courses. They missed the chance to really make money. They could have instead started a university and charged people who would apply to come and pay large amount of money to become indoctrinated! And get Federal Grants!

What even is scientology?

That auditing sounds like breaking you down and building you up to make it seem like they've done somthing for you.

can one use an e-meter to help clear out negative blocks on your own (without an auditor)? I have bought dianetics, handbook to preclears, and self analysis and am doing all the excercises in the 2 latter books. thought adding an e-meter to my therapy would expedite the healing process.

It's alllllllll bullshit.

Is this even a religion? Do they claim any miracles like the other churches do?

I just read dianectics, don't see what the fuss is about. Seemingly barbaric in places but possibly due to the time it was written.

I feel like you went in prepared to jugde, while scientology is confusing from the beginning, other religions get confusing and contradictory the deeper you go

Sued

nobody do anthying Anonymous is observing u and ur comments...

This Vid is what she is describing.. attemps at handling and man age ing, lots of people want to be controllers. Hypnotrantic nice. Klick.

aliens and volcanoes

Hi! I got the sense that AJ was intentionally skewing the story so that it made Scientology sound really cryptic, vague, and insane. From personal experience, this is not at ALL what the experience is when you go to an org, at least where I live! I honestly would recommend stopping in one, if you want the best idea what its like. Then you can *actually* know what it is like doing intoductory services. Because this is just a sad explaination tbh. Misleadingly vague.

she looks like sarah silverman

Scientology lool❗️

What state of mind would you have to be in to go near this cult for help? You'd need to be totally insane to even contemplate it....😏😏😏😏

This is entheta 😂😂

Haha so you lost your memory on crying in a crib because that was scarring your adulthood.. and no longer eat oranges.. because pleasure is bad. I'm not mocking you I understand it was a let's see what this is about.. I'd never be a Scientologist.. this is why I do feel though for those who have family within there. Old Ronald Hubbard went to the cupboard.. FFS it's said he was a science fiction writer.. how can it not be believed that he wrote his own religion..?? All I can say is anyone looking at exposing falsehoods or weird facts about religions is doing a positive thing.

Auditing is life changing!! Has saved my 30s.

ALL HAIL XENU

Crying in your crib and making up stuff about oranges wouldn't really give it an honest chance to work. If you don't have any real painful memories maybe someone else should of tested it out.

1:03 , 2:47 ♥♡♥

It's no worse than Islam.

At 2:22 she makes the most fundamental mistake that can be made as my studies have shown this will invoke messed up case ~ the work to be correctly done is better invoked by going the study route just as Hubbard claims

Think that's wild try Christianity

Wow it was exactly how it was when me and my cousin had our first encounter with them but we didn't just walk in we were drawn in they recruited us from the street downtown NYC I was just going cuz the girl was cute and I was tryna bag lmao we didn't go all the way through tho cuz we didn't have the time we stopped half way through the videos we actually skipped through them fast forward it lol but it was weird cuz it was one African American lady there who was talking like she was possessed if you ever seen GET OUT the movie you'll know what I'm talking about I'm not making it up

Read the book

this girl robbed herself of a very powerful opportunity. she was placed in a room with a woman who was asking her 2 identify one of the many memories that gives her pain or shame, one of the very things that holds her back in life. she was given the opportunity to face one of the Demons that moves her and she totally missed the opportunity because she was afraid. I would not have the courage to confront my demons with a stranger neither but sharing this cowardice with the world is not good

very superficial.... this is of no help
