Another thing I want to know; how on earth are people being held prisoner like this? I have been reading Going Clear, and also watching the show with Leah Remini and Mike Rinder. All these people talk about bars on the windows, guards at the doors, having to “escape” etc. Unless a person has been arrested, or is a convicted criminal doing time in a jail or prison, it’s not legal to hold someone captive against their will. That’s called “false imprisonment” and it’s a crime. So how is that alone not keeping these places from being shut down, or at LEAST investigated? If a SeaOeg member goes up to a staff member and says “I want to leave now, I’m getting my things and I’m going.” and they are NOT able to go, and are held AGAINST THEIR WILL, that is false imprisonment, plain and simple. So how is this even allowed to happen? Or if a SeaOrg member is able to get to a phone and call the police, and tell them they are being held prisoner at a Scientology base, they want to leave, and the people won’t let them leave, won’t the police come and get them out? And at the very least, check out what’s going on there? I’m sorry, but it is NOT LEGAL to hold someone captive like that. I fail to understand how this can go on, and people who want to leave having to “escape” as if they are making a prison break!! SO CONFUSED!!

Ok, so this story about Manuela was from 3 years ago…is she still in? Did she get out? You say “Oh don’t worry, she’ll get out..” Well, from what I’ve seen, all these people who have left the church got out after 10, 20 30 YEARS!! So I was wondering if any of you knew the status on Manuela.

Gadzooks, though Chuck… It’s the social equivalent of watching a rock be created in nature. If my family was in, I’d constantly want to storm in with a riot team and shut the place down. Based upon what I’m reading, that kind of forcefulness never works. Gadzooks, how horrible! If I lost a kid to that place, I don’t trust that I’d handle it properly.

Me, too!

Wow. Orglodyte, your story brought tears to my eyes. I can’t even come up with anything intelligent to say, but thank you for sharing so eloquently.

Sort of. You don’t want to become what you hate, and Miscavige loves to see his enemies destroyed. If you become shut off from your better self they are winning not you. Hard as it is, try to remember even disgusting human being Miscavige was born innocent and fell victim to Hubbard’s cult.

She is a victim of a very devious ruthless and manipulative scheme to deprive her of her money and free will.

Jenna Elfman was a recent guest judge, and Adam Shankman a prominent judge put Tom Cruise as the lead in his movie Rock of Ages. The producer Niles was apparently dating Priscella Presley for a time. Katie Holmes was a major supporter of their Dizzy Feet Foundation when she was in, and may still be. She also guest judged when she was in.

Or, more likely, to communicate with me is to get an earful about Ms. Freeman, who I much admire.

Glad you’re out and glad you’re here
