Leah Remini - Troublemaker

Spoken like a true Scientologist! Careful, you'll be a card carrying, forever paying member before you know it.

Where indeed? She's been mia for how long? Since 2007, if memory serves. Hmmmm.

 

Why is a "Scientology" even a section on Websleuths?

Scientology is just like Christianity, Islam, or any other religious cult.

No better, and no different.

 

Well, my part of Christianity has only marriage as a lifetime contract, and no Billion Year Contract is available. Sadly acceptable to dump the lifetime marriage bond, as well.

Some people do join religious orders and accept a vow of poverty, but these are legal adults AFAIK.

The descriptions of Sea Org published by anyone outside of Scientology are a description of slavery -- not legal in the US or other modern nations AFAIK. There is no parallel in my denomination.

Were you raised in a religious practice, or viewing all religious practice as an outsider? If so, which?

There are detailed accounts of criminal misconduct and convictions of core members easily found in any search of Scientology. It is an organization which has been found guilty of fraud and accused of organized harassment. Perhaps you should research your subject a bit more before making such a broad sweeping statement. In my opinion only, it was naïve.
