Jason Beghe speaks to Today Tonight

[Sabrevicious]

+ respect for Jason.

You can't control what a person believes or what church they subscribe to, put you can enforce the manner in which the church conducts its financial business and it's operations and conduct.

[bermudaguy1]

Thats ridiculous...75 million years ago? it was 74 million 453 thousand 1 hundred and 10 years, 6 months 2 weeks and 5 hours (EST)...get it fuckin right!!

[crazybulldog1]

I believe him! Great job coming forward and educating us. Thank You!

[ExtremeBogom]

Even though he is out of the Religion, he looks gone unfortunately.

the way he structures sentences...

[myownruin187]

@shasanni} in my oppimion its a combo of celebrities and people who desparetly wana beleave in somthing different and just being weak minded!! They have $ and power with mind controll techniques!! Its all about $!! Its a bad joke on humanity at best amd very very dangerous!! Plz becarefull! Be safe! :-)

[myownruin187]

This guy has huge balls for talking against the that cult!! I commend u sir!! Awesome just awesome!! Keep up the great work!!

[shasanni]

@myownruin187 how on earth did scientology get such power in the first place? when i read about it, it sounds like some sci fi flick. how could anyone be suckered into this?? intergalactic lord named xenu lol.

[Bdiddly1]

he didnt believe the xenu story but he "accepted" it!mmm?i wonder if he accepted it cos he thought if he did he would be back in the movies again?imagine getting told that but still having ANYTHING to do with the cult,it speaks volumes in my book!

[Cheetahsmonk]

Jason can talk me into just about anything! Dayum he is sexy!

[neorich59]

That Xenu bloke looks like Ming The Merciless from Flash Gordon, the movie..

[neorich59]

"Does anyone else see the parallels between this cult and the muslim jihads?"

The "muslim," jihads are, to many muslims, just as hideous as they are to the rest of us.

Blind Fundamentalism in any religion, including, sadly, recent Buddhist variants which talk of "apostates," etc. are dangerous and that includes the kind of armaggedonists we find in Christianity, a religion which has plenty of blood on its hands.

As for Jason's voice being "sexy," couldn't agree more, he's hot..full stop!

[michor10]

This shit is so crazy it's UNREAL. Wow. Just...wow.

[trenchrun]

they weren't "mates"

[mikejulie4]

Jason, you are a hero!!! Thank you so very much for all that you do:)

[annaknowsu]

Does anyone else see the parallels between this cult and the muslim jihads? Both feel that any crime no matter how heinous is worth "saving the world" from infidels. Or as scientology calls them- suppresives.

[boredstudent]

from my point of view, there's Religion, then there's Cults. Scientology wouldn't really be a Religion because they don't believe in a God. Xenu is not their God. He was a evil alien lord. ok, I kinda believe in the UFO thing because there's sightings (some real, some fake) but the DC-12s with rocket engines? I don't buy that. and I heard that people get electrical shocks as part of the Church's therapy. their OT levels if I may add.

[RandomTrollAccount]

@boredstudent

Co$ is not a religion because LRH, the prophet of scientology if you will, specifically states that it is NOT a religion. people need to stop saying its a religion, period. they get tax exampt status??

[littlegogie]

Jason's voice is soooooo fucking sexy!!

[translator300]

"aliens that inhabit the body"

Is there any attempt on scientologies part to sciencify this assertion?

Buddhism preaches that the self is an illusion (we are inhabited by a false self self)

Freudian psychology argues that there are three parts to the psyche and that two of them at least are constructions. It could be argued therefore that we are invaded by our super-ego and id.

Jung say the "animus" as like a group of males in the mind.

Mead speaks of a "generalised other"

[anonymooseconsultant]

The Co$ is a money making machine squeezing Scientologists for all the $ they own.. and sometimes more. Scientologists are victims.

"[Scientology] is nothing in reality but a vast enterprise to extract the maximum amount of money from its adepts by pseudo scientific theories... and to exercise a kind of blackmail against persons who do not wish to continue with their sect...."

- Judge Breckenridge, Los Angeles Superior Court:

[boredstudent]

it's because of Scientology that John Travolta and Kelly Preston lost their son Jett. that boy wasn't well. he was autistic (so I heard) and had a heart condition. Scientology is dangerous

[boredstudent]

yup. Jason Beghe is right. that just goes to show that Scientology is a bunch of lies that people say to one another and they're just brainwashers

[Slimtubestyle]

Why did he not comment on the last question?

It show the fear he still feels from the possibility of a lawsuit

[11Jamie11]

He did eventually comment on it, a bit. My personal impression is that he feels like the question straddles the line between the two principles he mentioned and is thus a tricky question.

[FigurinItOut]

"The last 10 years were a nightmare." Geez, 10 YEARS?! If it was truly a "nightmare" wouldn't he have gotten out sooner??

I think he's an alien spy.

[SammieGirl1980]

APPLAUD JASON BEGHE!!!!

[manan0nim0us4]

awesome

Seems the downunderfags are ahead of many other countries... I am envious.

[punkmonkey123]

Jason is now one of my heroes. XD

[saynotocults]

Thanks to Jason for speaking out. $cientology ruins lives!

[DarthX3nu]

YES!

[ooo00100ooo]

Priceless.

[d4m7s8]

I kinda wish I had that voice.

[sinetology]

JB for Prez.

[nunsonabus]

Editing was awful.

[zenwarriorcb]

Thanks Jason!!

So, after reading the Xenu Comic Book (AKA OT 3) you accepted it but did not believe it.

I can understand that. ALL HAIL XENU!!

[mookiewak]

Confirmed but those who have left? Scientology makes moronic claims about these individuals. What you need is documented PROOF from church officials.

Wollersheim v CoSCA

Church lawyer Warren McShane said in a 1995 court case that the story had never been secret, although maintaining there were nevertheless trade secrets contained in OT III. Notably, McShane discussed the details of the story at some length and specifically attributed the authorship of the story to Hubbard.

[d4m7s8]

See also the YouTube video headed Final proof that South Park was right (or something like that). It includes audio of LRH telling the Xenu story to adoring pinheads.

[Anon214365]

You tell em jason

[musketeer86]

I completely agree w/ jason on that last bit. people do have a right to believe what they want to believe, but they don't have the right to trick, or hurt, or deceive people for their own benefits. Keep up the good work jason. be strong and don't give up.

[dasboatbabe]

YES YES YES!!!

[jamiekin]

Jason Beghe IS THE MAN!!
