Everyone might be familiar with the book "Dianetics" by L. Ron Hubbard. He was the founder of this 'group'; considered a religion by some and a cult by others. Leah Remini was a member for many years until she realized just what a bunch of nuts these people are that continue the practice of Scientology.
She's been doing a special on the A&E channel regarding the abuses of this group. Everything from physical beatings to concentration-like camps. Since Hubbard died, a man named David Miscavige has taken over and he is what I would call the new Adolph Hitler.
If you want to be part of this 'group', be prepared to shell out thousands of dollars for nothing but lies. If you try to leave the 'organization' and have any family members still there, you can forget it. Your family will be told to sever all ties with you.
It is an outstanding series that uncovers just how vile this 'group' really is.

@Marty1 They do have a large celebrity base but must a big rank and file membership to amass that much wealth.

Some of the stories from the people that have left are pretty scary @DianneN . Tom Cruise is a Scientologist which surprises me.

@DianneN Probably. This 'group' literally runs your life. Like a say, a Hitler-run organization.

I agree with her. It is a lying destructive Cult.

@nanette64 I agree. I have often wondered that myself.

It's just hard for me to understand how people can get sucked into these kind of things @LeaPea2417 .
