Scientology

Did anybody watch Louis Theroux documentary on Scientology?These people are seriously intimidating! worth finding on catch up if you missed it

I don't know much about this 'religion' but had a relative of a relative living on the south coast a member. She developed cancer and locked herself in her bedroom resisting all efforts to treat her. Of course the inevitable happened, how she and her family coped I have no idea, must have been awful.
Could have been Christian Scientists.

Had a friend who got involved. She was then only willing to see the world filtered through the rather ridiculous constructs of L Ron Hubbard. She too, died of cancer a few years back.

In 1960's, I had a friend who was an extraordinary talented lady. She went from being skint, to being a multi-millionaire in a period of about six months.

She gave away her entire fortune (at the time, over £6 Million) to a religious cult in India. I do not recall their name, though their members identified themselves as 'taking orange'. She adopted a name consistent with the cult, and went to live in India, so I lost touch with her.

A think this is more of a cult than a religion. Having seen a number of documentaries recently they are really very disturbing aren't they

I watched it kathpressey on catchup, really disturbing people.

what I found disturbing was the focus on destrying people who leave. I wonder how Tom Cruise' ex manages. And does he have a relationship with his daughter? there's a good series on Netflix about people who have left cults who talk about the brainwashing

will have to look for it. there are some old Louis Theroux documentaries on Netflix which are good.

BUNCH OF CRANKS!!!!!!

For a few years I lived in Clearwater Fl , the Headquarters of Scientology.. It was so creepy seeing them all walking around, looking like robots... it was very unsettling to see..
