Fantastic interview !
I've just finished reading Mike's book("A Billion Years") and it is a gripping and terrific read.
Don't wait for the audio book, get it and read it. It's a very important book even
if one isn't interested in Scientology as it gives great insight into how people
become mind controlled by cults.....even very intelligent people !!
Scientology has caused so much harm to so many people that it definitely needs
more exposure. Thank you for doing this interview.
