He is almost certainly bisexual, which isn’t even a bad thing but in the CoS they cast it as a moral failing and sickness which is so sad. Like I get he chose to stay but I think he did so under coercion that the truth about him would ruin his life and I know I shouldn’t but I feel really fucking sorry for him.

We’ve all dated a dumb dumb. Just glad you had the good sense to walk away!

Yeah they even set up a reading room in San Diego and I was like Wut?? Walking by it was full of young white dudes and I mean young like 19 and they were just trying to get anyone walking by to make eye contact so they could start talking.

I remember that being one of the facts from Going Clear. I don’t remember off the top of my head because it’s been a couple years since I read it but they enumerate themselves in the millions when there are only a few thousand worldwide. I really want some Sea Org defectors to run away with photos and personal…

Same with my boo! His dad gave it to him and he always kept it because he’s sentimental about his dad.

It was just a little trinket his dad gave to him when he was younger. He always kept it and now uses it whenever he wears a suit.

Is Fonzworth Bentley available for hire?

It is 100% the reason. He has no excuse other than just being unwaveringly stupid.

You can get a well tailored suit for less than 300 dollars. He has no excuse. Like not even a tie clip? My fiancée had a tie clip before he ever even owned a tie.

Much better use of tape

Touché

they also made it clear to the IRS or anyone else who wants to sue them that they can counter sue into oblivion and can do so in perpetuity without significantly hurting their financial prospects

He still makes money though. Even his biggest detractors say he is one of the hardest working actors around. That said his public image would start to repair itself because at this point I think everyone thinks he’s a kook

Tom Cruise is probably like already dead and they just have some Sea Org grunt slipping into his skin for press obligations.

Plus Remini has a real zero bullshit presence that I think people really like seeing in a celebrity so people are more inclined to hear what she has to say.

Yeah there I see value in certain parts of a handful of religions but seeing how religion gets used by the right in the US and looking backwards from there throughout the history of Christianity I’m p much like no thank you forever

Dude I for sure think about that too. She has been pretty fucking fearless in exposing the church and has been seemingly s really strong advocate for those trying to get out. Hope she has bomb ass security measures in place.

Yeah I guess they are still able to recruit somewhat in that regard. it’ll be interesting to see what effect Leah Reminis show has.

You could say the same thing about so many other religious groups. I didn’t post my comment to get into the semantics of what this group could be classified as.

I really thought Going Clear would’ve been a death blow for the group. That book was crazy and even more people saw the documentary.
