@tellmemorethx
@tellmemorethx Год назад
@Paula Brown....that's interesting, after following Aaron for so long I've never thought he has or ever picked up on a nervous laugh. I see him cracking himself up.....I do that. My sister has a nervous laugh ....good or bad news she laughs...social situations are so awkward to witness. When I told her our father died, she laughed and continued too through his memorial service when greeting people. Another reason I think Aaron's laugh is genuine is b/c of his strong emotional side. Everyone deals with trauma differently, but even after all this time, he still can't get through that story without breaking down. Again, something I can relate too. It's incredibly weird for me to read a comment I've seen and have it roll over and over again in my head, and then actually reach out for clarification. Help, I'm confused. Thanks, oh and hi OSA.

What a load of turd that the family is so traumatized by the cult that they buy into it. But as I guess that Big Brother Scientology is thought police to the point that no one talks about real things it’s not surprising that the fabricated family overtakes the reality of the intellectual and emotional structure of family. That’s an explanation. Family grow up now and leave Baby Dave and his toy town.

Someone I knew who has 3 degrees, psychology/ psychiatry/counselling. A retired university lecturer and features in radio programmes (in his 70’s) -meaning a very experienced, worldly wise man , told me anyone can be fooled. This was after I came out of a 13 year relationship that made me very ill and I slowly came to realise that the man I married was not the person he really was. That the slow insidious abuse was not my fault. Any religion that tells you who you can and cannot see. Any religion that says people that aren’t in that religion are “less than” , or in some cases should be killed(and there is a religion whose extremists say this) are just cults , and cults are heinous. There is a new cult at the moment that a lot of educated people are in, the woke cult, one belief of that cult says men can be women and should be able to take over women’s rights by entering their safe spaces, eradicating women’s words and women’s sports, awards and statistics. Thankfully some people are waking up now. I guess the world is just full of cults😢. It’s all about control.

Fantastic interview with Aaron. There is so much more to learn on his channel Growing Up In Scientology. Would also recommend Blown For Good with Marc and Claire Headley. Mike Rinder also now has a channel and also Amy Scooby. By viewing each of these you get a great overall picture of Scientology as these sea Org members had various positions and responsibilities within the sea Org. Their stories of their experiences, mistreatments and eventual escape from Scientology will give a fantastic overview of how they were trapped in this cult for so long, and the mind games and manipulation used by David Miscavage to exert his control over these wonderful people, who were brought into Scientology as children, and the abuses they endured.

The most eye opening part was when he explained the kind of decisions you have to make in this organization. How totally out of this world to have to make a choice between which grandkids you’re going to keep. It was light hearted and somewhat jovial till you see the toll Scientology can demand and the chaos it can create in a family. Totally changed the importance of this interview. It’s a shame that I’m had to see a man breakdown to recognize what Scientology can be. Sounded like a miserable existence and although he said he tried to look back and take the positive out it, I didn’t see any.

Are you also aware that Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson is also a Scientologist. She donates large sums of money.

Thank you so much for doing this. Scientology made a mess out of my family in the late sixties and seventies. I joined the Sea Org when I was a junior in high school with my parents blessing with the guarantee that I could Finnish school but of course that was a lie. I went through some horrific stuff at the Advanced Org in L.A. and ended up escaping out of a high window in the basement and never went back. It was one horror story after another. I’m 68 now and they still manage to track me down where ever I go. I could tell you some stories 😳

Two weeks after airing, I just watched/listened to this podcast. I follow many of the SPTV folks. My interest started with Leah Remini's Aftermath show, then I found Aaron's RU-vid channel. The deep hurt that Aaron feels for his wife, kids, and in-law, is still raw. Any group that encourages people to leave their loved ones is evil! Scientology is imploding and they don't even realize it or care. I hope Aaron and his wife do some counseling to talk through these deep wounds.

This was fascinating, thank you! I feel for Aaron and his wife and family. WHhat horrible sacrifices ta make. We had a sector of our church break off and hold an extra set of beliefs, shun family that weren't "in the light" to the point where members couldn't attend parent funerals etc. I was stunned at the intelligent people who went with this break off group so I empathise.

As a Mariner, I would like to point out that Hubbard was NOT a Master of seagoing vessels. He was put in charge of little puny vessels during his time in the Navy, of which he was relieved both times due to various egregious errors, some of them actually super funny, such as chasing a non existing enemy submarine for days near San Diego or conducting some sort of combat operations in Mexican waters. The dude couldn’t row a boat, let alone be the Master of a ship.

The BEST! I have been watching Aaron for a while with “Growing Up in Scientology” and when he said he had been on this podcast and it was not edited, I was immediately here for the authenticity of the interview! So very impressed and this is what real conversation should be imo. When I see the heavy editing (Lex and others) I leave it because it loses focus of our genuine humanity and becomes post production narrative. Thank you for being so supportive of Aaron and his efforts in trying to mask his emotions and you allowing him space to be and to feel his feelings without being judged. Just excellent! ❤

Great conversation! To have a bus load of gallows humor is a great surviving tool. I'm going to joke and laugh until I break. I love that Aaron laughs about the craziness (but he's serious when necessary) and I love that the interviewer understands what it is. You just have to be able to laugh even when shit hits the fan and you don't really know how you'll get out on the other side. And often that's exactly how you survive.

You have to love Aaron. He is articulate, funny, knows his stuff. And after all this time he still deeply feels the loss (for himself and others!) that Scientology forced on him. Hugs to Aaron and his family, and even his in-laws who seemed to have made the wrong choice.

Hahahha I love Lex!! He’s TOTALLY one of the AI robots 😂 Aaron is such an amazing person who has been through so much throughout the years! You now have a new subscriber because of him! ; ) I’ve also met Tom Cruise and he is an absolute monster. I met him at the hotel Del Coronado here in San Diego where I’m from and his behavior is completely inhuman towards others when he thinks people aren’t looking. I watched him scream at a young staff member behind the main desk infront of me (a 14 year old girl at the time) over absolutely nothing. He’s insane.
