of course they do torture and murder their own if they can not break you to their will after you have rebelled...their level of intimidation knows no bounds

They also keep on foisting Tom Cruise upon us.;)

no that would have been okay, this is more like a nightmare...the kind where no one would believe it because they wouldn't let her leave...others have said the same, there is no leaving...you have to escape...and they will come after you

Celebrities Who Used To Practice Scientology - Business Insider

Film director and screenwriter, Paul Haggis ("Million Dollar Baby," "Crash") spoke out in the New Yorker about his decision to leave Scientology in 2009 saying it horrified him.
"I was in a cult for 34 years," said Haggis. "Everyone else could see it. I don't know why I couldn't."
After reading an article by the St. Petersburg Times reporting physical violence committed by church members, Haggis was extremely bothered.
"They were ten years old, twelve years old, ... scrubbing pots, manual labor—that so deeply touched me," Haggis told the New Yorker. "My God, it horrified me!"
Haggis ultimately left Scientology after the church refused to publicly denounce Proposition 8—the ballot that banned same-sex marriage in California. He claimed his youngest daughter, Katy, who is gay, lost a Scientologist friend after outing herself, not because of her sexuality, but, rather because she lied about her sexual preference.

"Young and the Restless" star Michael Fairman joined Scientology in 2003, acting as the face of the religion for a few years, but left after having misgivings with the group.
He told the Village Voice he began doubting Scientology leader David Miscavige's pressure to make expensive purchases in 2009.
"It was a really hard sell, and it turned me and my wife off. I stopped going to events," he said. "Then, when Paul Haggis's letter came up in 2009, that's when I really started to look at things. It brought me to Marty Rathbun's blog, quite fearfully, because Marty had been painted as the most evil of evil."
Last year, Fairman made his "Suppressive Person Declare," public, a document which tossed him out of the Church.




Leah Remini is a celebrity who has also recently left Scientology.
