So I imagine HBO and the filmmaker are lawyered up?


I think I read that they had 160 lawyers involved in vetting the film for potential issues.

I got around to watching it last night. It's really eye opening stuff and someone needs to shut this down. Maybe NASA should send Seal Team 6 to space to free Xenu to help us.

I remember reading Operation Clambake when Anon first started going after them and being tripped out by some of the stories on there. People thought I was full of shite when I told them about musical chairs and some of the other classics, now it's all over HBO. There are some crazy youtube videos from well back in the day when there were just a few protestors in clearwater that would just get harassed to hell when they would protest about Lisa McPherson. Look some of those up, it's pretty freakin hilarious.

The whole Xenu.net/Leaked OTIII documents and how it impacted Google/Way Back Machine is a good read too.



I was obsessed with reading all that for awhile. I stopped watching Going Clear because they were basically covering all the stuff that Operation Clambake covered.

Been reading up on a lot of these guys

Apparently the woman that was disconnected with her daughter was actually on stage with that daughter when this was shown at the Sundance film festival

From what I understand members are monitored 24/7. Even your audits are recorded. Someone going into COS undercover would be extremely hard to do.

Watched this doc last night. It's pretty fantastic.

Like most, I already knew a good bit about SCientology from hearing/reading about it, but this doc opened my eyes to a lot of the behind-the-scenes goings-on of the whole thing. I kept shaking my head at how grown adults could continue falling for such obvious bullshite, and pour their life savings into it, while shady arse motherfrickers like David Misavige laugh all the way to the bank. And it was cool seeing all of the interviewees reflect on their time in there and not being able to comprehend how they could fall for something so, for lack of a better word, silly.

Just a really enthralling and interesting doc from start to finish.

What's really amazing is that even after they left the church, most of the people interviewed for the Doc still considered themselves independent scientologist.

I couple of them have dropped being religious at all after a period of being independent

GOLDEN AGE OF TECH PHASE II:
THE SCIENTOLOGY BRIDGE TO TOTAL FREEDOM

Just had this link on my Twitter

Crazy huge picture

It was one of those "promoted" tweets. Do they take just anybody or should I feel special that they sent it to me?
Why would they send that to me?

It was crazy with the 3 guys wives that were on with Anderson Cooper. (the 3 guys being interviewed)

When that chick said Anderson was being mean his facial reaction to her was hilarious.

Just watching now, so I'm late to the party.

Hasn't Travolta kind of distanced himself from the church since his son died?

Watching this doc now. Ho. Lee. Frick.

L. Ron Hubbard was one warped sumbitch.
