- Do you thumbs down cos scientology sucks?
Or do you thumbs up, because this is a fire leak?
Who knows.
Be sure to check out Leah Remini's new series.
(The guy in the hermes/goatse shirt is Tom Cruise's best friend - he's meant to be a real macho guy, he's super-upset at this footage being leaked)
----------------------------------------------
BEHOLD, a hilarious pile of fluff that was dug up and leaked to the internets. *Make sure you watch it quick, before David Miscavige's minions have it yanked down*.
Speaking of Dave, he can be seen right at the front of this "We are the World"-type singalong that was put together in 1990. We can't see how many phone books he's standing on, but all around him are some famous names from Scientology's past and present:
At the 2:40 mark, you'll see everyone together warbling their guts out. Our tipster provided the following playbook:
* londe with brown top and black jacket is Shelley Miscavige -- who is now missing.
*To her right -- Ray Mithoff, Former Inspector General for Tech RTC, reported to be in The Hole.
* To his right -- Mark Yager, Former Inspector General for Admin RTC, reported to be in The Hole.
* To his right -- Mark Ingber -- Former Commanding Officer of CMO = Commodore Messengers Org, reported to be in the Hole.
* To Ingber's right and behind him, Mike Rinder Former Commanding Officer of OSA, currently blown and speaking out against the cult.
* Front and Center -- David Miscavige [the little dude] wearing weird Hermes/goatse shirt.
* To DM's right and behind him -- Heber Jentzsch, Former President of the C of S, now reportedly in the The Hole.
* To DM's right -- Greg Wilhere -- Inspector General, reportedly still working for DM.
* To Greg Wilhere's right-- Marty Rathbun, Former Inspector General for Ethics RTC, now out and speaking out against the cult as well as running the "Independent" Scientologists.
* To Marty's right -- Guillaume Lesevre Executive Director Int. reportedly in the The Hole.
So many friends of Miscavige, now either defected and speaking out against him or disappeared to Scientology's "RPF," the prison "hole" that has swallowed up so many of his top loyal friends. Tsk Tsk.
Well, at least 21 years ago, the future seemed so bright
Thanks, Tony: blogs.villagevo...
From our comments, this account of the video from former Miscavige assistant, Mark Fisher:
================================================
I remember that it was done for one of the events and I think it was IAS anniversary event that was going to be in October. It may have been for an earlier event. It was done to show all the "Wins" and "successes for the year and the song was sung by a Scientologist singer named David Pomeranz. Charles Lake is the Gymnast and had just been on the Olympic team that summer that is why I think it was for the IAS event in October. I remember that the idea was to have all of International Management sing the chorus ala We are the World and DM thought the Scientology public would get a big kick out of it. All of the RTC Inspector Generals were in the front with DM and his wife Shelly and the Executive Director International Guillaume Leserve was there too. Then behind was the rest of RTC and the Watchdog Committee. I recognize many faces in the crowd. We recorded it in the Music Studio at the Gold Base and we are all looking at Peter Schless who is conducting the singing. Schless was a Gold Musician and his prior claim to fame was co writing the Jefferey Osbourne hit song "On the Wings of Love" from the 1980s. Me personally, I had just been put back working for David Miscavige again after a stint of manual labor for disagreeing with my wife being sent to the RPF. I however shortly after this video blew the base for good after 2 attempts. Almost 21 years ago.

the irony of david miscavige singing “we stand tall”
Lmaooo
LOLZ
LOL I LITERALLY SHOT MY DRINK OUT MY NOSE OVER THIS! Best comment ever!
Nice one!
Maybe if he sings it he can believe it
Who came here because of the "Church of neurotology". SNL nailed this
Matthew Kitson
I thought it seemed too good to be true that there would be a direct basis for that parody, here it is. The big difference being that the SNL one was a lot catchier.
Matthew Kitson Me! And of course this one is much funnier!
Jacob Hoss I like "HEY LA HEY LA..HEY LA HEY LA" someone should make a remix
Matthew Kitson The SNL skit is what brought me here, and SNL definitely did a great job parody this song. I have to admit that it is a well written song. Its unfortunate that such talent was devoted to the promotion of such destructive nonsense.
I came here due to SNL
Fun fact: Miscavige literally had to stand on a stool for the filming of this video.
That’s not a joke.
It was an apple box.
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
He had to stand tall
@@fairyspunfibers9098no, I heard it was a couple of LA phonebooks.
"left after googling Scientology" "thrown off a boat"
"currently covered in fruit flies"
Sued to death
Makes ten cents an hour as neurotolgy janitor.
“once drop kicked this woman like a football”
“missing”
It should be "We scam all"
Hey! I'm going from clear to eternity! You think that shit's supposed to be free?
nice one haha
@@Moishe555 gotta throw in you're buck o' five.....
I’m pretty sure the writer intentionally put in the line, (@ 0:30) “for the price of that freedom, WE ALL MUST PAY from now on”, because once you’re in, you MUST pay from that moment on!
Thats all i hear😂😁
Who else came here because of "Going Clear"?
Your sister did.
***** anonsparrow hehe
Yes sir. Just could not get enough of that creepy bald guy (identified as mark yager in video).
I did lol
What's the deal with Shelly Miscavige missing.
If you follow Scientology you will wind up living in a van down by the river.....
Rip Chris Farley
Big van?
but i want to live in a van down by the river
@@mindsigh4 right. I wish I could live in a van on a river. That’s like a dream now.
With rent prices as they are, that sounds great now.
I was 22, and member of the S.O. and attended the event when they released this song. I knew many of the faces in the video. The first man in the video was in the LA Org I wish someone would remind me of his name, I think his name is Mike. I remember being so proud, we as S.O. members poured our life and soul working for Scientology; but it was never enough. I also remember seeing many of my friends crying miserably at different times; for life is truly hard in the Sea Org. I left not long after this event. The experience left deep scars that took many years to heal. My whole family suffered during my stay in Scientology, my brother still pains after all these years, many consequences, it takes a long healing process. I have seen many videos, hundreds expressing their experiences and this is the first time I comment something on my experience during those 2 years. May God shine the way out to those poor souls inside this organization.
Jeez that's rough dude. Thanks for sharing your story. So happy you're out and recovering.
Glad you got out.
So you went from one cult to another. Nice move.
@@Rambam1776 Looks like it by their profile name. But hey, the lesser of 2 evils I guess, so there is that!
May God continue to bless you. I’m sorry for your hardships, but He does use them because He knows where to place us and how we will recover. Stronger in Him. What a testimony! There is strength in His truth and exposing these things that are not of Him. May God continue to heal you and give you His strength and courage in Him. He loves His children. He is the Shepard, we His flock. He will leave the 99 to go after the one.
Jesus paid for our sins so we can be reunited in Him and with Him. No works. Just Fruit, light, and salt. Spreading the gospel. Continue to walk in His ways. Again, God bless! 🕊️✝️
Who came here because of SNL neurotology?
yessss
Yup
RiggsBF jep
Me!!!! Also from that HBO documentary about how evil Scientology is
RiggsBF I didn't realize how closely snl parodied the video oh my god
Sorry, I'm a follower of Neurotology
PowerGlove79 lmao
PowerGlove79 me too, bruh
Aliens live inside of my mind
It is a gorgeous religion, old and true
This is so weird 😱
Greetings from The Hole. Which doesn’t exist. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I have to go clean the bathroom with my tongue now. Great video!
🤣🤣🤣
So, like, this shit is a genuine bop. Overprocessed electric piano, threatening lyrics, a backing choir, a room of dead-eyed white folk in mortal terror of a 4'11" future despot. This joint has everything you need.
Very well put. You won the internet, the day you posted this. Don't know if you realized that.
Man you have a way with words, and the macabre insight to fuel it.
The only thing I could add would be "David Miscarriage"...
As in he should have been one.
Too harsh..?
He stayed even when his parents left.
Actually I will also add that your mention of "bop" made me think this was like the extreme evil version of "Mmm bop".
🤣🤣🤣 the second part of your comment is sad but true I wouldn't call it a bop tho
This song is awesome
4’11” seems pretty generous…
"If you want to make a little money, write a book. If you want to make a lot of money, create a religion.”- L Ron Hubbard, creator of Scientology
Where is that from? I call BS, FAKE news.
I'm starting a new religious movement based on the teachings of SUDIGO....inbox me
ps don't google 'sudigo"...i literally just made that word up
What an absolute degenerate
David Miscavige can't stand tall.. he's 5 foot 1... lol
+Chad Zeller Sure he can. He can stand on phone books.
+Melissa Smith He was standing on an 'apple box'- a crate type thing used in filming shorter actors from the waist up so they look taller. I tend not to criticise his height (especially since there are a shit tonne of better things to object to about him- his violence and abuse, his temper, wearing that shirt) because that isn't something he can really control short of getting his spine lengthened but the title of this song was just not in his favour!
charliwilde he reminds me of the wizard of oz.... passes himself off as big and frightening but pull the curtain and he's just a simple man.
+Melissa Smith It's possible. My take on him is that he is a highly intelligent and driven person who get involved in a world which was very paranoid and combined with stress, overwork, etc. he ended up giving in to his dark side- aggressive, sadistic, deeply paranoid and narcissistic.
+Chad Zeller Awesome! I'm taller than him! I'm like 5 ft 2 1/2 inches. Not much but still more than 1. Just push him down like a bowling pin. >=3
This video gives me the creeps; the contrast between their expressions and the misery we know they're in. Miscavige probably made them do take after take and berated them for hours on end until they had big enough fake smiles. The way they're flinging themselves around in an effort to look happy is horrible.
Well said
@@bobbob-sv4mk
i hope the "composer"
at least got a free audit out of the deal.
2:39 The bald guy in the gray sweater has become one of their worst weirdo goons!
@@josephinetracy1485you could literally just tell us his name but ok
@@denny414 I've seen him on video... but never looked up the goon's name
"The price of our freedom we all must pay" didn't mention that the price of freedom is thousands and thousands of dollars
And a few days in "the hole."
FROM NOW ON
"But the price of that freedom we all must pay" LOL
Literally one of the honest things I've heard a Scientologist say!😂😂😂
Lol I know, this also doubles as a try not to laugh challenge
😂
Freedom costs a buck o' fiiiiiiiiiivveeee
@@LYNDSAYROCKAGIRL 🎶 wut would yew dew 🎶
David Miscavige ordered this song and video in 1990 after seeing "We Are The World" and wanted a Scientology equivalent. As a song, it's horrible and cheesy, but as a video it's quite valuable as most of the people in the front two rows are either out of the church or missing.
"We are the World" came out in 1985. You mean it took him 5 years to figure that out? BTW that whole archaic genre of compulsively catchy music be it rock, disco or punk is going right down the tubes and will soon be gone from living memory. So nobody try to bring it back! It's an expensive religion (Scientology) but why pay when you can get all the info you need about OT III online? You could almost say that that archaic music is a valence and an engram and maybe even the R6 implant. Above all, it's 40 years out of its time track and I/we need to get over it. It's not coming back. It's gone forever. Erase the engram now.
outsideredge oh wow. They try to rip off everything. He thought this horribly done fake af badly sung song was going to equal we are the world ? Omg I could just laugh til I cry. Ewe
@@breAnnasmama Next they'll do a version of 'Voices That Care' but it will be titled "OT's Don't Care, I'm crying out loud!"
anon ymous There are people missing in that video.
Kri MD There are people missing in that video.
I'm here for the "hey-la lay-la" Especially when they sycopate it as "hey-la lay- we stand tall" ... It's an 80's boom-chic-a-boom.
Altho can they stand tall when they are tied to a radiator in the hole? Hey-la-lay...
I said-a Boom Chika Boom......
Uh-Huh.
Oh, yeah.
One more time.
Cavage- style!
Gotta give this cult credit, no organization has the balls to beat _the IRS_ to submission.
"The price of that freedom we all must pay from now on."
Yes that'll be $1,000,000 take it or leave it.
If Emperor Xenu were to see this ... he'd probably turn his armada around and head back to the Delta Quadrant.
DC-8!*
Hail Xenu!
I've been scrolling the comments to find the funniest one. Your's is it!🤣🤣🤣
My goodness. Your comment cracks me up
You're hilarious!
At 3:51, the lyrics change to "He stands tall" referring to Hubbard. Pretty terrifying. This song is insidious. It's quite catchy and very disturbing when you know the backstory. Miscavige certainly knew what he was doing in terms of marketing.
North Korea, when their dear leader died, and they had to cry, weep and grieve in public, only here, they're singing instead.
This song has been stuck in my head for the past week and I want to die
emma Don't kill youself Emma, you got to believe in the heart of the cards that guide you.
emma I feel your pain. 😐 I abhor Scientology, but dang, this song has a kicky beat that sticks in my brain! Gahh! Probably Miscaviage used beaucoup tax-exempt donations to hire Hollywood's most hypnotically-gifted jingle writer to pen this tune. . However the lyrics are laughably ironic, if you've read much about scientology, and the video itself is pretty lame, although I'll give it a little bit of a pass there because it's so old. Anyway, resist the music and stay away from Scientology. It's an abusive cult.
This damned song was going thru my head during a 21 mile bike ride. Imagine that! SO gross, yet so addictive.
have you considered auditing?
emma yup...
I must disconnect from every commenter in this comment section...
Is that what is required to stand tall? Know what else stands tall? Martians/aliens. They're always so thin, undoubtedly with some minuscule BMI

***** :(

kitty!
+Ricardo del toro I demand an official SP declare letter!
It’s funny that David Miscavige is singing “We stand tall”. Being the wee man that he is.
I didn’t even notice Miscavige down there at first I was looking at Mike 🤣
This video was made in 1990 but many many ex-members have jumped off Miscavige's fraud wagon ever since declaring the cult a criminal organisation.
This is super creepy in so many levels.
the late 80's/early 90's aesthetics, hairstyles and outfits make it even creepier.
I don’t know kinda reminds me of child hood I watched similar tapes except it was the family
@@radicalillusions7322 The Family International is (or at least in the 70s-90s was) an even worse cult than Scientology. But I gotta say, they had better music.
Ismail I dunno last time I checked you could freely leave that cult, Scientology is one you can’t freely leave with out your whole life ruined and mean ruined: financially and privacy wise. Not to mention the hole
Miscavage looked like a creepy nerd!!!!
I'm genuinely afraid for Miscavige's wife. It's so creepy, and even creepier that law enforcement seemingly is not involved in any way.
She ded.
Nah Shelley is where she wants to be. Anyone knowledgeable about Scientology (Mike Rinder, Aaron Smith Levin...) will tell you she's a true believer, regardless of the state of her relationship with her (ex-)husband. She was the most devoted LHR groupie, she grew up in the church. No need for a big conspiracy. Scientology doesn't literally hold people prisoner, as in keep you in a room at gun point. They use the fear of disconnection, leaving your loved ones behind. But anyone who truly wants to leave, leaves. (as thousands of former Scientologists prove, many of whom had just as much dirt on Dave as Shelley...) She may be disgraced, she may hate her husband (most scientologists probably do), but she still believes in "the work". That's why she sent the cops away.
@@ARedMagicMarkeryep.
@@ARedMagicMarkerWorse, she’s probably imprisoned.
This song is stuck in my head and I've been singing it all day. I think they've successfully brainwashed me.
Try listening to some disco instead.
😂🤣😭
Man some people will believe in anything.
I believe I need a Chinese girl with GREEN eyes!!!
Very rare. Trust me.
David LoPan Jr. TWO girls with green eyes, what does it MEAN?!
It's means. I can have my sacrifice and keep the other for my bride.
David LoPan Jr. If you believe in something crazy all by yourself, you're a lunatic. If you believe in something crazy with some other people, that's a cult, like Scientology. Are you with billions? That's religion.
"We scam all..."
*why are we letting a 5'3 man sing about standing tall?* 😭😭😭
It's funny to me that David Miscavidge is overly sensitive about his height and the song they composed for scientology is " we stand tall" lol
Can somebody please clear the phrase "Hey lolly la" from my engrams.
👏🌹
You'd have to Audit 'til the end of time...
Thoughtsurfer Zone what the f are engrams ? Who the f says engrams ? That word creeps me out. Anything with this stupid Scientology cult creeps me out too. Anyway why the f would ya have that phrase Stuck in ur head ? lol it’s bn a few years since the comment was posted. Maybe you’ll see it again and it get stuck again hahahaha
🤣HEY LOLLY LA🤣
LOL
Leah Remini, please keep exposing this CULT and all of the horrible things that they have done to families. Your work to date is fantastic!
Unfortunately, she is a Central Idiocy Agency informant that infiltrated the Church. So I wouldn't trust her judgment. She's as smart as Ben Affect, another CIA member.
I wonder how much one of those South American drug cartels would charge to sink that floating asylum with their drug submarines?
This song has definitely convinced me to see the light. Guys, hold my beer, I’m going in.
Edit: ah shit. Call for help. I’m in the Hole.
Lmao
Imagine being a Japanese naval bomber/fighter pilot on a kamikaze mission... And Scientology's Freewinds cruise ship is dead in your sights. For the glory of the emperor and all mankind you bring your plane down upon the ships bridge.
lol wut? Xenu will not be pleased.
You will not survive the wrath of Xenu. Nobody does.
***** Xenu is long gone and nothing. It's the wrath of Slappy Miscavige you should watch out for.
thats only when he escapes his cage in a volcano
For the glory of the emperor
One of the most gloriously, hysterically, cheesy things I've ever seen.
JoshDone I laughed at it at first, but it's kinda growing on me.
CountBifford It gets in there. Now, I'll be humming this at work tomorrow.
That's how cancer works count haha
If I would stand in front of a microphone and would have to sing this cheesy bullshit... I would throw myself out of the window.
That's the thing with Scientology propaganda, they try *really* hard to make them look hip and trendy, which only serves to make them look hilariously dated after a few years.
Not tryna convert or anything but this song is super catchy....
That key change put bumps all over my goose
I love it so much. Truly one of the worst things ever put into this world.
What, the song or COS in general? Or both? LOL
@@purselmer5931This is one of the most stupid, useless, destructive, and baffling things ever thought up in world history!
I came here from SNL's Neurotology video, and SNL did a pretty good job.
Now go look at the scientology super bowls ads that are on youtube from scientologists. They scrub all the comments. Videos with millions of views have like 50 comments. Its sick.
this video might have a mind-control device, because, even thinking scientology is a looney thing, I can't stop singing this crap. it's so catchy!
All jokes aside, the "hey lolly la" part started playing in my head later in the day after hearing this lmao
I agree. Thank you for admitting to this. I don't feel so alone. Hell, we stand tall! LOL!
Maurício Rodrigues
I know right?! It sounds like a Phil Collins song!
Holy Xenu, you jinxed me, now the cringy tune's stuck in my mind 🤣
That's something that cults are well known to do. Create catchy songs so the propaganda keeps running through your head. Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are also well known to do this
The only way Miscavage stands tall is by standing on a stool
😂
I can't enough of this. I am fascinated.
So- obviously- with this being a Scientology video I immediately feel creeped out.
But... this shit is kinda catchy. Like cult cover-band doing "we are the world" or something.
No joke, I actually like the song but it scares me at the same time because of what it is and who it is about.
It's an effective method for keeping the troops in line, and continuing to believe the lies they have been fed are the truth.
Mark Heggeland --- it's actually a catchy inspiring song. The underlying message is what makes it a bug out/mind f*ck.
That’s because it was commissioned after David miscavage saw ‘we are the world’ 😂

He probably threw whoever wrote those lyrics in the hole after filming this
This song is actually a masterpiece of emotional manipulation and exploitation. Most of the people who join cults are people who have lost their way in life and/or lonely, people who seek direction and human connection, a light in the darkness. This commercial promises both with membership.
Great insight man!
Yeah that's why Cruise and Travolta the biggest celebrities in Hollywood who found their way in life and have huge amount of friends and never been lonely are in it .
Yeah great insight🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

That's the first time anyone's ever said that. Lol
Actually, it also targets many homeless people who have nowhere else to go.
Is this song worth disconnecting your entire family for?
Yes. Yes it is.
HEY LA DEE LA

YES IT IIIISSS
Not gonna lie. It bangs.
"Knowing the truth will set us free" didnt Jesus say that?
Any ways, I like their music. I liked their song in the superbowl commercial, like it made me feel good tbh. I know this is a cult, but Im trying to find if theres any thing they are actually doing thats good for humanity vs. the criticism
I think Scientology is in opposition to Freemasonry and other secret societies. Like how did LRH actually die?
Oh, if you like this jam, look up "The Road to Freedom" album they made, lol.
One thing you can definitely say in Scientology. Is that David miscavige did it the same way L Ron would've.. keep scamming until it crushes you.!!. All 4'11 of DM hypothetically "stands tall" living his whole life believing a scam artist. He should be proud..❤❤

Crazy or not, let's all be honest they can belt out one hell of a show tune.
"We stand tall" wtf? David Miscavige is only 5 foot 1 and Tom Cruise is only 5 foot 7, that's not very tall, it's almost lollipop guild size.
Ironic that Midget Miscavige is singing “we stand TALL”

I spot several notable long term Sea Org storied career staffers. Ken Delderfield (he ran the teams publishing the green volumes, and red volumes of Hubbard's writings, plus "Deld" did the Mission Earth books publishing behind the scene team running). Hara Klein who truly I hope someday surfaces, she's an Apollo vet era "tech" person, later spent years in RTC before leaving. And one Sea Org member vying to become the oldest still standing Sea Org member, James Byrnes the short man in the second row, left side/ In the further back rows are a slew of the "think tank" "Executive Strata staffers, and the RTC "treasury" money lady is there. Just loads of the true blue top Sea Orgers of the day, those allowed and acceptable to be on Miscavige's lines, as Miscavige was supreme leader of Scientology at this time. Just hours of details could be spoken, In the clips of the 1980s era "Religious Freedom Crusade" in Portland, Oregon, and clips of that same era of Scentologists crowd protest scenes, are endless numbers of long ago Scientologists, now quitters. It's taboo history nostalgia spending time pondering the past, so it's de rigour to forget their history of their staff and followers who have quit.
It's likely a characteristic of the definition of a bad group or cult, if it cannot somehow responsibly and transparently and honestly tell what became of their followers and top staffs. Scientology is so knarled up a cult it cannot tell it's hisotry.
James Byrnes, he ought be sought out for apologist researchers of Scientology to meet and talk to. He's likely the oldest living active Sea Org bitter ender, he's had more downs than ups in his officer of the Sea Org history career.
Angry Gay Pope's RUclips channel caught James Byrnes chatting even. AGP's on the street videoing in Hollywood contains faces and history that only ex Sea Org members can appreciate.
There was an era of Scientology in house videos and stuff, self promotion where they used their own staffs as standins. That all could be annotated with the backstories of all the standin staffers, telling the behind the scenes predicaments of their lives in top staff Scientology cult bureaucracy. it's a nutty world.
For this video, likely there are more exited quitters who could re-enact this video than are left inside Scientology. that is a fact.
SNL nailed it with their Neurotology skit.
They need to update it with "Hosts Emmy award winning show exposing abuses" for Rinder.
The SNL spoof seems more sane
"Hey lolly-la, hey lolly we stand tall ..."??? No one who sings 'Hey lolly-la' stands tall. No one.
+Jonathan Kieran I bet L Ron "Goof the floof" Hubbard would.
+Jonathan Kieran HAHAHA! You just made me bust out laughing in a silent waiting room. People are glaring...
+Mrs. David Wesley It 'twas my pleasure. (Lolly-la 😜
+Jonathan Kieran LOL It sent me into fits of giggles because it's just such a STUPID song!
Jonathan Kieran 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember watching this on mushrooms while visiting my buddy in Clearwater Florida a long time ago. It was nuts
I have my own version instead of "We Stand Tall, no turning back, we've found our way" (or something like that) it's "We're in a cult, no turning back, we've lost it all!" I was sitting on my porch w my headphones on singing (apparently quite loudly) my version when (unbeknownst to me) my neighbors came outside and gave me the strangest looks! 🤣😂🤣🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
L. Ron Hubbard communicates with me telepathically. He's coming back and he is pissed!
I've had this song stuck in my head for a while. And the chorus "We Stand Tall" sounds similar to "Sweet Caroline", so I keep having the combination of both songs "We Stand tall... Dum dum dum!" playing over and over in my head
Oh, goddamn it. Why did you have to point that out!

Sounds like Phil Collins to me, i dunno why...
About half of the people in the front row have now left this organization and denounced it.
Who came here from SNL?
This sounds like just the sort of soulless feel good music you might encounter in an 80's coming of age movie.
Is it just me who finds it ironic that DM had to stand on an apple box for this song?
Or 6 inch heels
Just finished reading about it in Karen Schloss Pressleys book - Escaping $cientology. A very good read.
Its funny their theme song is "we stand tall" when david miscavige is 5'1"
As soon as the curtains drew back and the emeter popped up i pissed myself laughing...
It looks so plasticky and dumb
David Miscavage singing a song with the lyric "stand tall"...lol
Funny how that midget piece of shit sings to this abortion but he's only 5' 1''.
Todd Sheffield it funny they singing "we stand tall " but they are taller then David Miscavage ....lol
Its funny how the SNL version already has twice as many views in only 3 weeks
David Miscagaive: "why is everybody standing taller than me? You guys crouch down!!"
This is actual Yacht Rock 🤘
Creepy. A catchy song, but still creepy as hell.
Matthew 7:15 ^
Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.
+Federico Schroder Bible thumping, another cult.
Yes I dare call your religion also a cult.
At least the Christian, Catholic, etc., with Jesus and the Bible are less harmful.
But still harmful on the thinking process..
+Joe Neighbor What a narrow minded thing to say.
Gee thanks Matthew
Gee thanks Matthew
Mike Rinder directly behind DM is so cringy. Hard to believe. Blessings to all of those who have escaped this incredibly abusive and dangerous cult.
The ten mile stares of these grifting cultists is simultaneously terrifying and hilarious. HEYLALAYLA!!!
