Celebrities are treated differently than any other customer or member because of both the $ and the PR they can generate. Within the Church only members who have achieved a certain level may speak to them, and they are shielded from the day-to-day workings of orgs and missions because they are funneled to the “Celebrity Center” which in no way replicates what goes on elsewhere.

It should also be noted that in a person’s “sessions” (auditing) you are in what amounts to a confessional. The main difference being in Scientology the things you are relating are written and recorded. It has been suspected by ex-members that silence and cooperation has been demanded of people for whom released details about their personal life would embarrass. That may ot may not be tinfoil hattery.

But, like all active members, it is strict indoctrination that anyone who is a critic or questions the church is an enemy capable of doing or saying anything – so best to ignore them. That’s the mechanism of control.

Some readers may want to know how Scientology tried to stop this show from airing:

It probably is not tinfoil hattery — I was for a time a member of a 12 step based group that required people (as all 12 step groups do) to make an accounting of their wrongdoings. The trouble was, the guy who ran it (and still does) is a psychopath and, as I later found out, a convicted felon. He told me that if I criticized him, he would make public things that I had said to the group.

I was grateful just to get the hell away from it at that point.

What Beghe is doing is braver than people realize. I believe they will do their best to discredit him and destroy his reputation now.

I’m very glad they finally aired this. The abuses of this ‘church’ need to be brought into the light, and this report didn’t even touch upon more than a fraction of them. I hope that the media will gain confidence in reporting critically on Scientology and that we will see more reports soon.

“Scientology – it’s worse than you think.”

Finally watched the interview with the niece — interesting piece. She came across as pretty credible as well.

I think if reports like this keep up, we’ll see a decrease in the number of high-profile people who are willing to allow themselves to be identified with the church. The implosion of Tom Cruise’s career is just the beginning, I think. Travolta was a bit of a has-been to begin with, but what’s he done lately?
