In reply to April Champion. At the top of this page there's a link to a recent documentary, "Scientologists at War." You might watch that as a start.

In reply to TonyOrtega.

but then, if she hasnt announced anything, why is she “worried about retaliation”? I dont understand anything about this whole scientology thing…What is it about *this* particular religion that makes it SOO “hush hush” amoungst its members? are they doing ilegal/harmful things that could/would get them into deep water with authorities??

Im not trying to be a smart ass or anything, i just really dont understand.

You don’t seem to understand the concept of “disconnection” here. Leah Remini didn’t “announce” anything. We broke the news that she had left Scientology. She said nothing publicly about it, and actually still hasn’t. The church, however, then ordered its other members (including celebrities) to “disconnect” from Leah because she had left. That’s church policy.

i dont understand why these “Celebrities” feel the need to PUBLICLY “disconnect” from a religion…you dont see EVERYDAY people saying “oh, im Catholic today, but i think i might wanna leave the church tomorrow” and then make a HUGE public statement about it…they just……LEAVE…for whatever reason….Other celebs im sure have left other religions and THEY dont make a huge stink about it…I really REALLY dont understand why people feel the need to “announce” that theyre leaving a certain “religion”

Tom Cruise had the disconnection loophole figured out long ago, most other Scientology celebrity families just haven’t caught on yet. You have to establish an anchor-clam. Once your anchor-clam is firmly and publicly established both in pop culture and the church, the rest of the family is protected. He can then proceed to route them out using a carefully constructed cover story, free of the fear of orders to disconnect. The only catch is he has to stay, but heck, action heroes have to sacrifice something don’t they? But in this sacrifice, who knows the opportunities one might find to rescue other starlets who might fall into the clutches of the church through an acting class or life improvement course recommended by a friend? Action heroes do need their sequels lest they fade away…

In reply to monkeyknickers. You must've missed that day. You'll have to make it up before the test. Read Atack's Piece of Blue Sky, part 2, chapter 10, "His Magickal Career".

In reply to Douglas D. Douglas. Not that any body dared say it in public. He was almost as quick to sue as Para$citology. But even kids too young to know what a homosexual was knew that what ever it was, Liberace was 1. And back then it was a big deal. But I guess you knew all that. ;)
