I wasn't sure at first, but I kept watching, and was glad I did. She's got some talent -- at both creating and singing/acting -- and it's a fairly entertaining presentation of Yet Another Messed-Up Scientology Story. She includes a bit of the "wins" that she experienced early on, which helps the audience understand why she stuck it out so long, but by the end, she leaves no question that she made the right choice in leaving.
Thanks fer dat, most mexilant! Lolololololol! Hope she does a follow up! Scientology~ More stupid and dangerous than you think, since 1951. Fuck you L.Ron Hubbard, since you were born. So glad you died, too bad it wasn't as painful as it should have been, you fucking dead, abusive, conniving, fart of an excuse for a human being. iya.
Magician/skeptic/author Andrew Mayne who currently has a show on the A&E network did a Q & A session that went for 3½ hours so for the Scientology question either skip to 2h13m in the embed below or just click on this handy timestamped link He mentions he's in Burbank CA which made me imagine him visiting/doing a video with Tory. One can dream..
Marisa and Pete: Growing up in a Cult Published on Feb 15, 2014 Marisa Sigmond chats to Pete about growing up with Scientology parents and more.
I have shared my many views on the cult via youtube, dailymotion and other sources. I even helped a sea org slave escape. it only takes a splinter to turn into a snapper.
Ex-member explains why the Scientology corporation has passed the point of no return and is doomed to fail.

Looks like a school report. First part interviews classmates asking what they know about Scientology, the second part interviews a (staff?) member (sound only), third part are news clips by Bashir and Sweeny asking about Xenu.
A teenager interviews his friend, who explains some of Hubbard's "theology". The interviewee is quite knowledgeable, which leads me to suspect he's a cult victim.
I disagree on the "knowledgeable" aspect. Kid majorly farked dynamics, to the point of complete cluelessness. And his explanation of Theta and Thetan was extremely weak. While the normal spiel of Thetans creating their own universes is completely absent in his big bang spiel. So that leads me to suspect he's either faking the whole deal, or he's a scilon kid who has only done the comm course and hasn't really been exposed to the real belief system but is speaking from a position of knowing what his OT parents spew (eg: "we think we are god" bit).
What is Wrong with Scientology, Part 2 Published by Chris Shelton on April 9, 2014 Greed is Good In this second a multi-part series, I discuss how Scientology's obsession with money and culture of greed is helping to bring about its eventual destruction as an organized religion. See my blog for more details of my history in Scientology and my written articles describing specific problems with the Church and how I got out of it. http://mncriticalthinking.com
David Letterman and Lindsay Lohan Call Oprah Published by Late Show with David Letterman on April 9, 2014 Letterman, Lindsay Lohan prank Oprah on ‘Late Show’ As they talk, Letterman asks Winfrey how she thinks Lohan is doing now. “No, I think she’s doing really okay,” Winfrey says. “I think, uh, you know, to have cameras following you around for every phase of your life, and you are trying to pull your life together, I think that’s a really difficult thing, so, yeah, we’re really pleased she’s making some progress,” which makes Lohan choke up. “Oprah, I’ve spent 30 years trying to pull my life together,” Letterman replies. “Where the hell have you been?” Oprah then brings up the fact that Letterman should be doing all right because during her last “Late Show” visit, they realized they share the same meditation teacher, “Meditation Bob,” who Lohan also visits. Letterman then says, “You know what else, Oprah, that I’ve switched to now, that is really fantastic? Scientology,” leaving Winfrey, Lohan and the entire audience laughing. http://wtvr.com/2014/04/09/letterman-lindsay-lohan-prank-oprah/
How do you like that, from one David to another, Miscavige? Scientology has been reduced to nothing more than the punchline of a joke on mainstream media: network television.
Someone claiming to be a long-time cult member posted this. If anyone wants to save a copy best do so quickly...
Heard it all before. - Unless you have done a few Scientology courses, then you don't know anything. - If you have done some Scientology courses but didn't like them, then you are doing it wrong and don't know anything. - If you were a long time Scientologist but have now left, then you sinned against Scientology and don't know anything. - Come in to your local Church of Scientology and become a Scientologist and you will see how those critics are wrong. That video could have been in Armenian and I would have guessed correctly what they were saying. Scientologists always say the same things.
What's Wrong with Scientology, Part 3 Published by Chris Shelton on April 15, 2014 Hubbard's Way or the Highway The third in my series detailing how the Church of Scientology is destroying itself through its toxic policies and the way it enforces those policies. In this video, I discuss how Scientology is a system that enforces black & white thinking (the "false dilemma" fallacy) and how it villifies dissidents and anyone who claims that Hubbard's methods don't work. What's Wrong with Scientology, Part 4 Published by Chris Shelton on April 22, 2014 You're Free to Say What We Want You to Say The fourth in my series detailing how the Church of Scientology is destroying itself through its toxic policies and the way it enforces those policies. In this video, I discuss how Scientology is like "Opposite World" with a creed and methodology that preaches openness and honesty while its policies call for censorship of free thought and are totally intolerant of free speech. See my blog for more details of my history in Scientology and my written articles describing specific problems with the Church and how I got out of it. http://mncriticalthinking.com
This channel has been up for 3 years. https://www.youtube.com/user/WhatRonReallySaid/featured This channel offers free public "viewings" of lectures by L. Ron Hubbard, much like the "free tape plays" that were offered many years ago. If you are looking to find out what L. Ron Hubbard actually said, you'll some of it here. For more, in depth info, go to Scientology.org You can also write me an email on this channel. As Ron said on the "Road to Freedom" music album, "Thank you for listening."
What's Wrong with Scientology, Part 5 Published by Chris Shelton on April 28, 2014 The fifth in my series detailing how the Church of Scientology is destroying itself through its toxic policies and the way it enforces those policies. In this video, I discuss the policy of "Fair Game" which Scientology uses to stalk, harass and otherwise personally ruin ex-member, critics and anyone connected with them, as a sort of revenge for criticizing the Church. Not able to just let people have their own opinions or move on peacefully, Hubbard wrote "justice "policies which call for getting even and 'settling the score' with anyone who dares to speak out against Scientology.
Nobody is saying anything about Scientology in this video but they sure are in ''Comments'' section. This is Rick Moxon's wife showing Scientology for the sad, bad, ugly joke it is. She makes a great Anon. You can laugh at her and certainly a lot of people have laughed at her including me. People on this board know all too well that this is not unique. Lots of Scientologists are like this. Just look at Black Rob's thread. But would you trust people like that with your life? Lisa McPherson did. Edit: I must explain that this is at a ''Toastmasters'' meeting and I strongly suspect that this must be at a Scientology Toastmasters meeting. It would have to be. The audience is accepting all of this insanity. There really is such a thing. It is called the, ''Renaissance Speakers''. http://renaissancespeakers.org/3-minute-video/1536/
