    I just have to say that I am so impressed with Leah Remini. She attacks the atrocities of the church but treats the people that are trapped by the Cult of Scientology very delicately and with respect. I really hope that history will regard her as the Death Knell of Scientology. Good for you Leah. Please keep it up. God bless you.

      Remini was happy to abuse people until SHE got abused. Then she claims to fear for her daughter's safety so she quit scientology and became a devout Catholic.
      She traded a religion of anecdotal adult abuse for a religion of anecdotal child abuse. She is no hero. She is a self-serving crybaby, rudderless on a sea of ecclesiastic possibility.
      After her daughter is abused by a priest, she will convert to Islam. And so on ...

      I'm really worried for David Miscavige's wife & all the people that are still being abused & falsely imprisoned on all the Scientology properties. Especially the children that are taken from their parents & kept from interacting with their family. The financial abuse, the food, seat shop mentality towards the kids. Why aren't the authorities (in every place where they have properties) raiding the properties & freeing the people? They have admitted to policies & doctrine that imprison, abuse, & mentally harm people, that's enough for a police raid & federal charges.

    Leah Remini is a genuinely admirable person. So many celebrities are fake pieces of shit and she actually realizes what she went through and how she wasted years - AND, above all, she's brave enough not to be pushed around so she stands up for what she believes in. Trying to get out of any religion, or cult, or fundamentalist group, is terrifying. She is an inspiration.

      moonprincess500 .... It isn't hard to blackmail an organization that has NO Legal basis... there is no LAW that says you have to pay income tax, only IRS Regulations that say so. The Income Tax, like the Federal Reserve, is not legal because there was no Constitutional Amendment that was properly ratified, for either of these. Both acts were passed fraudulently, and only have force now because everyone has gone along with them for so many years. A large movement could conceivably bring down both of them.
