I watched the first two. If they want to expose this nonsense they need to walk the viewer through what they teach specifically.

I think part of the problem is Remini and others see this thing, cult, etc. as having lost its way with Miscavige (sp) rather than saying, "Hey, this shite is false and fricked up."

That's my main issue with these docs is that it's an apologist perspective to the doctrine, not the leaders.

If you listen to Remini, she will never call it a cult, false or lies.

I don't know, haven't seen it. But it has been a common theme in these docs. They still adhere to the doctrine, but disagree on the leadership.

I think you have to be nuttier than a squirrel turd or damaged to fall for Scientology or MML schemes or the like.

Most will agree and upvote that, but it if you note that it's no more wacky than virgin birth, rising from the dead, etc., folks get as upset as a rogue Scientologist hooked to the cans.

One man's religion is another man's insanity is another man's get rich scheme.

Scientology is interesting as its managed to merge and find a niche in the cross section of three huge cultural tenants of America: Religion, Celebrity and Litigation. It endoreses itself as a religion, markets themselves as a celebrity and protects itself with litigation.

Just change tenants to tenets so you don't look as dumb as an SP.
