Awesome!
Published on Nov 2, 2016
Leah Remini comes out swinging on her new 8 part series for A&E documenting Church of Scientology abuses. The trailer is intense with lots of emotion. Similar to the kinds of shows I put together for http://www.survivingscientology.com .

(3,660 posts)Mormonism and Christianity were seen as dangerous cults in their first 50 or so years too.
In a couple generations we'll be tying ourselves in knots not to offend their "sincerely held beliefs" about Xenu and Thetans. Those who don't will be labeled as bigoted Dianeticophobes.

(48,955 posts)There is a lot to be learned about mind control from organizations like Scientology. I don't think that will be the focus of her shows, but they will show the level of abuse of participants that can occur when members of the group are subjected to ongoing mind-control methods/techniques.
Like another poster, I found her book very interesting.
