Hi. I am new to this site. I watched the entire series, which was alarming. I have seen "Going Clear" also. Reference was made to Jehovah's Witnesses and the same kind of disassociation tactics made, when a family member or friend leaves the JW's. Every morning, I go to one of our city beach parks for my long daily walk. There are JW's there at two different tables. I've often wondered if they needed permits, with all of the literature displayed on racks. I have always invited a JW in to talk, when anyone as come to my door. Yesterday, I decided to ask some questions of the three men. I asked about the transparency of the organization, about excommunication and disassociation. I was not confrontational, and wanted to be as kind and courteous as possible. I have been a "man of faith" or "truth seeker" for my entire life. I just wanted to know "If I were to leave the faith, because some event has occurred in my life that has challenged my faith to the point of leaving, will other family members or friends in the faith be told to disassociate with me?" He couldn't/wouldn't answer my question without dodging it, using scripture that really had nothing to do with the question. One should know ahead of time, before making any commitments, right? And why is someone leaving such a threat to the organization? Seems very clandestine, and would not be so eager to join. Lots more questions, but liked the thread. Could you help? Thanks so much.

by tresdecu ini know some has been posted about leah remini and her split from scientology.
i just wanted to add after finishing it last night, it is a must watch for questioning jws...every episode has familiar situations and parallels that will make jws really think (or squirm).
