Me,too.

I think I was busy cutting my toenails or napping when it was on. Then I had to think about washing my truck for a while,and other more important things than listening to  some religious loon discovering organized religions are cults,just like no one else ever noticed.

Isaak Hayes left South Park over it so they doubled down and made Chef a child molester and it sounds like there may be a fair amount of that going on within the "church".

@Cripplecreek

Ya just gotta love South Park and I have said it before and will say it again,the kids on South Park tell more uncomfortable truths on tv than all of the network news and political talking head shows combined.

Thanks, Freya. I'll check it out.

I don't know why this series on Scientology has captured my interest they way it has. Perhaps because I have a few family members who have gotten sucked into similar cults. In any event, it really is heartbreaking.

Leah Remini Forgives Mother For Introducing Her To Scientology As She Accepts Emmy
by Lisa de Moraes
September 9, 2017 6:21pm


Leah Remini snapped Anthony Bourdain’s four-year Emmy winning streak, taking the trophy tonight for Best Informational Series or Special at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

Remini won her first Emmy, off her first nom, for A&E’s Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, exploring accounts of former Scientology members whose lives have been significantly impacted by the org’s practices.

Picking up her statuette, an emotional Remini began by saying she wanted to thank her mom, who was in the audience and who, Remini said,  for years had hoped to attend a ceremony at which her daughter won an Emmy.

“Mom, thank you. You are officially forgiven for getting us into a cult,” she joked.   ...
Story at Deadline.

Good for her. Sorry to see RuPaul also winning an Emmy for his pervfest of a show.  **nononono* 
I think we don't need to create a new thread, @Freya  - this way all the "Aftermath" posts are all in one place for all to see.  ^-^

I have no problems with Scientologists. Some of my friends are Scientologists and I have read several books by LRH. They are commited in their faith as I am committed in my faith.

There have been reports that Priscilla Presley left Scientology, but her rep is denying it. Her daughter, Lisa Marie, previously left the organization.

@Demolition Man

Seems like to most people,EVERY religion other than the one THEY adhere to is a "Religious Cult".

I disagree. "Cult" has a specific meaning that does not apply to many religions.
