I had no intention of watching all 12 parts because it is so long but once I started I couldn't stop. Tory's frank and heartbreaking story is very powerful and I appreciate your posting this.

The Rat Snitch for $cientologist Cult does not look happy and she has a moment where her programming breaks down, and she looks REAL vacant, if you know what I mean. Great talk - she's a very engaging speaker and will be the first to throw herself under the bus when it comes to the bullshit she did for the cult.

Half way through the video I glanced over at the ad and it was an ad for a scientology online course. Did anyone else see that?

Very good speech. It had plenty of laughs and you handled the audience questions well.

@lauraleesmithagain Does the name Arnold mean anything to you? Were you aware that Reagan himself was once governor of California?

[inspirediam]

Yes, the end of abusive practices.

excellent work Tori, i hope that one day, that David Miscavige, will be expected to write an apology to everyone that his organization has harmed.

@Bobb9999 - Yes, absolutely true. I personally know two people, one a teenage boy, another a young mother, who committed suicide while in Scientology. Their names have never come up. For myself, while I was unknowingly going through menopause (I was fairly young so it wasn't obvious that's what was going on), I was told that Scn could "help" me - at the cost of thousands and thousands of dollars. Not once was it recommended that I go see a doctor to see if my problems were medical.

How is it possible that most scientologists are republicans when such a large number come from california?

[WildernessTree]

Did You ever meet  and or interact with Hubbard?
