    To those complaining she has "nothing else to talk about", this-Scientology-was a HUGE part of her life. Three and a half decades is no small chunk of time. The organization obviously hurt her and she wants to raise awareness about it and help other survivors of the cult. This is obviously her passion project and-I'd venture to say in part-her way of processing trauma while still helping others.
    ÉDIT: WOW! This blew up! Damn. Wasn’t expecting that. Thanks, I guess? I just hope Leah heals and can rescue as many people as possible from this cult.

      singinwithceline and beyond that, she is changing not only peoples lives, I venture to say saving some but also by bringing awareness all over various genres she’s also helping people know better that might otherwise join the cult, now they may very well, Bc of hearing Leah tell the truth, not make that mistake. Lastly by simply bringing awareness to people that never would join who may help a friend from making this mistake. I think she’s brave, awesome, selfless in this and cares very deeply and is helping to make historical changes thru information and truth. She very well may have started the down fall of this horrible cruel group. Rock on pretty lady!

      Also, she's got tons of stuff going on. She was on a hit sitcom for 9 years! She has done many other projects since then. It's the scientology bullies who put out this vitriol that she hasn't done anything of note. And btw: Leah has been married just one time, and happily; her daughter seems quite well-adjusted. Contrast that to Cruise, who has been married 3 times now, to successively younger women (his next wife will be a fetus), and doesn't even have a relationship with his bio-child. And scientology holds Cruise up as a role model? Wow. Just... wow.

      Sarah Smith is right. scientologists don't just pay thousands to find out what they're supposed to believe.
      A victim of scientology has to pay over $300 000 before they find out that they're supposed to believe that all their problems are caused by dead space-alien parasite ghosts that are stuck to their body, called "body thetans", and it's only by paying even more hundreds of thousands to the scientology corporation that they can get rid of them.

      Stop defending yourself and come work in the real world for 48 hours. She DOESN'T look beautiful and noone gives a F about her nails in the outside world. She's making a joke if it, do why did she support it and givr them a million dollars?!

    She's very brave. If you watch the show, you see how actively and aggressively the organization comes after "ex-scientologists".
    She opened up the floodgates and provided a safe space and support for others who were too frightened to speak up- which is admirable. I don't know of other religions that make you PAY for their teachings, and then PAY THEM BACK if you try to leave -especially if you'd been unpaid labor for them for decades. I also don't know of many religions that demand you cut off all contact from your children/ spouse if they leave the "church".

    It Isn't a religion. In Ireland, as in Germany, it's classed as a cult. Nothing to do with Irish people being Catholics - which almost everybody says they are, but just out of tradition and fitting in, rather than believing in any of that, y'know, God and Jesus and Heaven and Sin stuff (which is why 2/3s of people here voted for gay marriage, as an example of how 'Catholic' we really are) - but because we've seen all the sinister stuff the scientologists do, also see how it's a money-making racket (any real religion relies on donations, but is otherwise free to practice), And we also know all that crap about Scientology being all about alien spirits/ghosts from a faraway planet long, long ago living inside all of us, which 'tuning' (via expensive 'tests') can discover. Written by a sci-if writer, who 'discovered the truth about our inner Thetans', which is even less plausible than the son of a carpenter rising from the dead, which I imagine could have happened surprisingly often given the quality of medical diagnoses 2,000 years ago. Result: Scientology classed as a cult in Ireland, and no government tax deal or support etc for them.

      Just out of curiousity, what are pentacostals classed as? or believers in the prosperity gospel? Its true that Scientology is a particularly nasty strain, but I have a hard time seeing how many of its formal doctrines aren't at least informally implemented in other religions. spiritual or status rewards for financial contributions (old Catholicism, prosperity gospel just off the top of my head), especially vehement attacks on anyone trying to leave the fold (basically all fundamental religions), strict reliance on texts no matter what evidence is observed (again, all fundamental religions), am I missing anything? I don't see a difference of kind but of severity.

    The difference between scientology and other religions is that other religions allow 'choice'... scientology literally blackmails their follows into doing stuff and if they don't they get severely punished. Plus you have to pay thousands to learn about scientology which is stupid if it isn't a business to make profit.

    • @patphatkitten
      @patphatkitten 5 лет назад +1

      Blackmailing people is against the law. They don't blackmail people.
      People pay money for a service. A service to improve life, get rid of the effects of painful experiences, save a marriage,etc.
      Many people train on how to deliver a service, find a partner, deliver the service to the partner, and the partner does the same thing, under the guidance of a few trained scientologists. It is much cheaper this way and highly recommended.
      You can learn about Scientology (study of wisdom) by buying books about Hubbard's research. They don't cost thousands of dollars.

      @8176morgan 4 года назад +3

      What you claim is only partially true. There is certainly nothing wrong in charging a fee for a service but not if you are classified as a religion, as all true religions never charge anything for what they offer. Does it cost anything to be a Jew, or a Christian, or a Muslim? Do you have to pay anything to confess your sins to a priest? True religions do ask for donations, and many are given privately, but they are never mandatory as they are in Scientology, which is one reason why it is so disrespected by so many people around the world as it is generally viewed as nothing more than a greedy cult that is after your pocketbook as well as your bank account rather than a bona fide religion. So beware of any service that you may wish to purchase if it involves a religion, cause you might end up bankrupt! Enough said.

They requested answers I had not covered with a therapist. Why would anyone send out such personal info to strangers from a newspaper ad. Then with Hubbard's name attached.

      Did you happen to read about the Mexico-Malawi scandal? Or their involvement with the UN? Or how about thier ever changing Blood policy?
      Did you in those 20 years of research read in the Bible that if a girl was raped in a place where no one heard her scream that she did not need "two witnesses" to condemn the abuser to death?

    4:06 the fact that you can choose to believe or not believe is due to the constitution and more generally, modern states and laws.

    I've always loved Leah and God bless her for the work she's doing to expose this "church". Shame on Tom Cruise supporting it. This man's ego is unbelieveable.

    I love her.

    Respect to her getting out of that cult. Gonna watch that documentary series now.

      She never got out of the cult. She was kicked out, which rarely happens.

    She is so brave more and more people come out throughout the years but she was one of the first to bring the light to it 🥰
