One less celebrity Scientologist
by Gopher in
1. jw
2. friends
it makes me very happy when a popular celebrity leaves a cult, because it could give others the courage to do it or start to think about leaving.. leah remini played carrie on "the king of queens", and has also been on "saved by the bell", "the talk" and had small parts in other shows.. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/leah-remini-leaves-church-of-scientology-calls-it-corrupt-report-2013117.

leah remini leaves church of scientology, calls it "corrupt": report.

the church of scientology has one less celebrity among its ranks, according to a new report: leah remini.

i have a lot of memories of attending assemblies there for 30 years.

does anyone remember all the purple coloring?

remember that guy who used to wave a stick like he was conducting an orchestra except there was no orchestra, only a guy playing the piano and the audience singing?.

Have you ever won anything? In a raffle, lottery, etc?

i am so disgusted right now, more with myself than anything.. we have this big albertsons grocery store monopoly game going where i live.....the more of certain products you buy, the more tickets you receive.

not only are there instant winners, but then you enter codes on line.. ha....after 2 months, i've won $5.00 and a bottle of clorox beach.

i have spent more than i ever would have normally.

My JW parents met my wife, but would not see me...

so it was time for the 25 year reunion of tawas area high school's class of '84.

because i was class president, i've been responsible for throwing all the reunions we've held.

while i come to michigan on business a few times per year, i don't usually make it all the way up to the little, northeast, lake huron tourist town where they live.

Steven Hassan's Cult book...
by homeschool in
1. jw
2. friends
ok, so i'm over halfway through with this book on combatting cult mind control.

does the dude ever mention jw's (besides one page in the bibliography at the end)?

if not, would there be a way to get a jw to read the book, maybe pointing fingers at some other cult religion so you dont appear to be talking about the witnesses?
