Leah Remini reveals secrets about former religion: 'There is no end to Scientology'

http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Leah-Remini-reveals-secrets-about-former-10642587.php

In a Hollywood Reporter interview published Tuesday ahead of A&E's "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath," Remini details a few incidents where she says the church pressured her into working towards their ends, including a time when she was asked to contact CBS head Les Moonves and ask him to kill a "60 Minutes" story (he declined to do so).

She also took to Reddit to take part in an AMA ("Ask Me Anything&quot , and answer users' questions about her time in the religion. Here are some of her revelations:

On what is the Church's "single most horrible thing":

"I would say the 'church's' Fair Game policy, and how they systematically go after anyone who publicly speaks out against them. Anyone who speaks out against the "church" is seen as an enemy."


Much more at link. I watched the first episode of this series last night, and it's just horrible what religion can do to people and their families.

and was struck by how remarkably like the Mormon organization that Scientology operates. It's really a form of fascism.
