@TheEmilyDBaker. Can you PLEASE tell me what earrings you are wearing? I have tried to get your attention so many times. I love them and would love to know the brand name! Thank you so much!
Their membership recruitment numbers have collapsed. Some have postulated that their total membership is now down to less than 30,000 people worldwide. Most people are now fully aware of what they are.
She's a fucking ICON. You cannot mention scientology without thinking of Leah!!! She started doing this to find her friend and has refused to stop! That's someone I'd want in my corner if I ever went missing. She's a fucking queen.
I only know her from her A&E special series a few yrs ago, & watching reruns on TV LAND, but I get the sense that she is really like her character Carrie on the old series.
Love me some Leah! Balls & beauty. Go get ‘em Leah! I hope to live to see them taken down! Also, I wanna hang out with her and be friends. J-Lo can hang with us too. 😉😂
Next someone needs to set up a class action lawsuit to sue Scientology for child trafficking and abuse They have 10 year olds sign Billion Year contracts, train them to "Audit" eg. ask adults, inappropriate sexual questions, get asked such questions themselves, make them work dangerous jobs without pay, lock up minors, give them no real education, separate them from their families, blame them for being victims of Church- protected child predators, etc. The list is long and abhorrent. Leah's lawsuit only touches on adult mistreatment by the cult. Serge Del Mar a RU-vidr discusses what they do to kids.
Tampa Florida is a huge location where they have children working & “learning” the ways of Scientology. The living conditions have been said to be atrocious & inhumane. All while parents are paying to have their children live & be indoctrinated within the teachings of Scientology. Every time we get a glimpse inside of that world, the scarier it really is. It’s frightening how something this “controversial” (to put it lightly) is still running/functioning in our country. Scary!
yep. as someone who also grew up within the church, everything in this lawsuit is 200% true. Leah is a real hero to continue to take them on; these campaigns of harassment and destroying of "squirrels" is a very common practice and part of why people who leave the church (like I did as a teenager) basically have to cut off all contact with family still int he church and stay mostly silent for fear of retribution on this level
Considering some of the reports from those raised in Scientology from birth/very young (lack of traditional education past a certain grade), that's exactly what it is.
Yeah ... Emily's channel isn't true crime. She really specializes and focuses on legal issues within pop culture which is why this lawsuit is perfect for her channel.
My experience only - My best friend made it out of Scientology. She lost her family and is still fighting to get her teen children out. They are a powerful organization.
Part of their strength is people's fear of their bullying and retribution. We need to all do what we can to stand up against them and weaken them until they disappear.
Fear that makes you more alert is good, that helps you treasure the good in your life still good. Reactions to fear that make you unable to act in support yourself or others when needed that is a big problem. Fear itself is not the problem.
Yay! Aaron from growing up in Scientology spoke about you on his channel today! He’s a good guy and fantastic at what he does- like you (sassy and funny, and very compassionate). Hope you got a chance to talk with him. He can explain a lot of stuff lay people won’t get about the CoS
@@CkCmilliemooGrowing up in Scientology 😊 as OP says, he’s great. Helps us SPs understand the inner workings and details that would otherwise fly over the heads of people like me with no direct experience w/ this cult (other than them trying to recruit me on Yonge st in Toronto many moons ago through their public facing “self help / career advancement angle”.
Scientology uses language to obfuscate truth. Emily will need Aaron to define many things that seem odd in this suit. Changing language is how cults operate.
I faithfully watched AFTERMATH when it aired. Leah & Co. were meticulous in their presentation knowing how avaricious the litigation would be. She deserves a billion in damages in my opinion. Her success will be the demise of the business, which should have NEVER received church designation. Shame on IRS.
@@caroline-brisbane8577 The IRS and its agents had been sued, or threatened with lawsuit by Scientology and would have tied up the courts for years if they didn't capitulate to them and declare CoS "tax exempt" as a "religious organization". It was a sheer terroristic campaign.
It appears she was waiting for the green light from the Danny masters case (he was found guilty= green light) and she sure got it!! What perfect timing to file! While EVERYONE is watching 👀
Emily, get ready for Scientology to make remarks on you after this. Trust me, if they went after me, a literal nobody- never a Scientologist, friends secretly were and tried to get me in by putting me in a room with 5 of them and I punched one in the face and left…, I spoke out against them and they got me fired from my job, followed me back from LA to NY, parked outside my house videoing me etc. it was insane. Just so much. I would end up calling them out for following me and just yelled at them a lot and they ran away freaking out. It was pathetic lol BUT just be aware of their Fair Game tactics. Please be safe.
Yes, they will. Emily’s community will fight back and the greater lawtube community will rally. I hope all the lawyers cover it. But yes, be safe Emily!
@@stevenecarrierIf that is the case, why are you advising Emily to be careful? Sounds contradictory to me when you yourself argue they go away if you stand your ground.
Love that you are covering this. Scientology is a criminal organization over here in Germany, and it's insane to me that they can get away with so much. I love that more and more people thanks to Leah and others like her learn about what really is going on in the so-called Church.
Is that true? I live in Hamburg and I’ve walked by the Scientology building downtown and every once in a while, I’ve seen protests outside their office, but they aren’t big or often.
@@Cutest1TheGame The German domestic intelligence service is constantly monitoring the organization and mentions them in their annual review about anti-constitutional activities. The German government does not recognize Scientology as a religion; rather, it views it as an abusive business masquerading as a religion and believes that it pursues political goals that conflict with the values enshrined in the German constitution. 😁
@Cutest1TheGame I think she was sharing her opinion about them being criminals. It is true that the German government won't elevate them to the status they want & believe they should have there. I'm proud of the German government for not bowing down to CoS! Edited to add ~ I learned about the German government business with Scientology through Aaron Levin Smiths channel Growing Up In Scientology. He did a great live show a few months ago about all their "churches" in Europe, including membership numbers as well as the size of each organisation.
@@Cutest1TheGamethey’re huge! They rule most of Clearwater FL-Germany-Australia and more! They have a lot of ppl in power! Here in the USA I’m surprised they’ve survived.
Wonderful that your covering this case. Leah is a badass and I predict this case is going to expose serious abuse and despicable Scientology practices...Leah will prevail!!!!
Go, Leah! I live in Dunedin... One town north of Clearwater. I have witnessed Scientology's virtual take over of Clearwater through the years! Leah is fierce and the one to do it! Love her!! ❤
Been a law nerd forever but even longer than that I've been following growing up in Scientology. Aaron has been working hard to bring up Scientology's atrocities. I really hope you both connect and do a show together discussing the case!
So excited for this! I have been a simultaneous member of the Lawnerds and the SPTV community. I would love for EDB to interview Aaron from Growing Up in Scientology!
Scientology has at most 35k members worldwide. Aaron of GrowingupinScientology crunched the numbers. Emily has 20x the number of members. LawNerds got this covered 💜💜💜
So much this! My fav worlds collide - Scientology’s OSA enforcers frighten never-in folk like me. My compassion for the hell too many face trying to leave Scientology runs deep. Grateful to Leah for platforming the harm done by this “religion” & love that Emily & the lawnerds are all in!
Cannot WAIT for this! Leah is a badass, you are a badass and Scientology sucks. I've watched the Aftermath series and followed the podcast Leah did with Mike Rinder until Scientology got that canceled using threats. I watch a few RU-vid channels from former Scientologists and their stories are so sad. I am beyond excited to hear your take on this!!! EDB, you are awesome! 💜💜💜💜💜
I've been following Scientology since my best friend's husband left her to move out to California to "study". That was 1988. Thank you for such a great - and contextual - reading and summary of the filing. You have been, are, and remain awesome.
I’ve waited yrs for this!!! When she first made the docu series about scientology and how it negatively effected not only her but several other people just made me think.. how is this possible, just. How.
@@liadown9052 Yes exactly! Scientology is all around the world too which makes it more than thousands for sure..I was mainly referring about the docu series of Leah Remini, the ones they've interviewed. Such a powerful series.
I’ve followed Leah from the beginning of her departure of the CoS to present. I’ve just binged her podcast again recently and I’m SOOO glad to have my fav RU-vidr covering her case!!!
Same boat! watched Aftermath years ago, listened to the podcast when it first came out… found Emily in Oct 2020 and have been sub and a certified Law Nerd ever since. She’s still my fav RU-vidr!!! I found A-Aron in March and added the whole SPTV crew to my sub list and without a trial for the last several months, I’ve had lots of SPTV lives to keep me busy!
Hauntedshadowlegacy DM stands for both Danny Masterson and David Miscavage. In this case I believe the OP meant David Miscavage also called COB (chairman of the board).
Omg im soooooo excited. I found you during depp/heard and i wanted you to look into and talk about scientology. I cant wait to see you tear their legal shenanigans apart! They are soooooooo litigious. So this should be very interesting; if not slow.
Well, they used to be litigious. Now they don't sue people anymore because of opening themselves up to discovery. In their LR Hubbard policies they have to write reports on just about everything, so there is a lot of written proof that a person being sued can ask for.
Leah is nothing but a hero. I went through the Scientology rabbit hole a few years ago… dude. The hole has no ending. This corporation (cult) and their leader are the craziest, most cruel, insane, dangerous criminals in current history. We are rooting for her and every survivor. I truly hop Emily gets to talk to her, two power houses together.
I am so glad you are covering this. I got sucked into all of this with Leah's show and went down deep into that 🚧 🐰🕳. I read as many books as I could and followed the Masterson trial. I hope this lawsuit is successful in bringing COS tactics into the mainstream and hopefully the "Church" will lose their tax exempt status because of this.
So stoked that you’re covering this topic. Growing up in Scientology with Aaron is on of my fav channels! I can’t wait to hear your take on this lawsuit!!
I’m so interested to hear your analysis of this…Aaron from Growing up in Scientology would be a great resource and conversation if you want to do a combined broadcast. You are both so great!!
Some great scientology creators, too many to mention but Aaron Smith Levin, Claire and Marc Headley have a great handle on the facts. Unfortunately Mike Rinder has a bigger battle to deal with right now 😢.
I've watched you at various times for years, but I'm back because Aaron Smith-Levin of Growing Up in Scientology said you're covering Leah's suit against Davey Miscavige and the "church" of Scientology. I've always enjoyed your commentaries and I'm really looking forward to your views on this trial! I subbed and turned on notifications.
After watching every episode of Scientology and the Aftermath, I’m surprised it took Leah R. this long to sue. I hope she has all evidence she needs to win.
As I understand from Aaron @GrowingUpInScientology, Leah has wrestled with this decision for a loooong time. One has to understand that this isn't a decision to be taken lightly, because: • It will take YEARS to litigate (as Emily said in the video) • It will make the "Church" of Scientology even more hostile towards her • That could lead to even more and/or worse harassment • She would have to find lawyers willing to go up against an organisation with religious protection throught the 1st Amendment - and with billions of dollars that will ensure the process drags out as long as possible • And by suing them she would open herself up to the discovery process, in this case meaning letting the lawyers of Scientology get access to many aspects of her life Taking all of that into consideration I'm not surprised that it was a difficult decision to make. The fact that she did is clear evidence of how incredibly impressive and brave Leah Remini is.
Also, Leah is a smart woman. She knew she would have to get all her ducks in a row before proceeding. And the Danny M. trial had an SP testify to the documentation/rules etc. so that means that Leah’s trial will have the same. Because no one but someone that was that high up could ever know what all those thousands of documents are and what they mean. Gotta give LRH credit for insisting everything be written down!!😂
@@melindaforry644You're talking about the wonderful Claire Headly. She was # 3 in the chain of command for years in the "church". She was great on the stand in the Masterson trial. She's worth her weight in GOLD 💛
My two favorite RU-vid topics collide! Law nerds and the ex-$cientology community. Been watching Growing Up in Scientology daily forever and SPtv rocks!
I was a lawnerd before I started watching Growing up in Scientology, so awesome that there is a crossover of subscribers- both excellent channels. A-A Ron is amazing too!
So happy you are covering this one. I have been following her story for a few years. The ‘church’ needs to be investigated for its actions and practices.
Another SP here, who has followed A-aron's channel for over a year and been a LawNerd for about 3 months. Thanks for covering this, EDB. It's really important!!
Very excited about this! Aaron from his growing up in Scientology channel talked about you doing this. That’s where I learned about your channel. Can’t wait!
Emily you have big balls ❤❤❤ Leah is a fighter !!! She deserves help . She helps so many people !! Thank you Emily 🐱🐱🐱🐱 so appreciated that you covering this ! The only one from law RU-vidrs . But you are the biggest from them all so thank you ❤❤❤
I have just worked for a bunch of Scientologists remotely; cultish aspects permeate everything they are involved with, even if they don't talk about it
So glad this UNcovering of the terrible practices of David Miscavige and Scientology are being covered so publically. it's now an avanlache! Go Emily and SP-TV and The Aftermath Foundation ❤
She's extremely courageous for taking on these monsters who could (and probably do try to) ruin her life. I cant believe she got out and is telling her story. Incredible.
You should chat with Aaron from growing up in Scientology. ❤ he’s great. The Headleys from Blown for Good have hundreds of OSA files from 2005 kept on people who had left that basically outlines the program on how to handle these people, what to do to them and what’s PI’s to sic on to these people. The stuff Aaron, Claire and Marc could tell you is bonkers but true
They keep a vault of information on every member, so they have it against them when needed. And they’re supposed to tell on each other ….just like siblings do in a family sometimes when a parent requires them to report everything or like the mob. 26:40
This is terrifying! MONTHS of reprogramming.. and she survived it! 👏👏👏 This is real. Incredible. Edit: Loved how you phrased something as "the heaviest lift". Speaks volumes.
We all need to send Leah support messages and express our views of scientology everywhere we can. We back you leah. Someone maybe do a go fund me for her. She needs to win for everyone who's left and for all those who are scared to leave.
Thank you for covering this!! Growing Up In Scientology is a great youtube channel if you want daily content and info into the history and present crimes/activities of Scientology
I have a friend who got caught up in Scientology along with her husband. They had two very young daughters at the time. After 20 years they desired to leave and return to their first church. If they left publicly they would be barred from ever seeing their daughters ever again. Both daughters are adults and still in Scientology. One works for them as well. They chose to leave privately. They had to go through a very long debriefing. Her husband’s was over a year long. Even after leaving my friend tried to promote the “good” Scientology was doing. She did that on Facebook. I’m not sure if that was part of the deal when she left. She stopped doing that after about a year. She would not answer any questions I asked her. Making it clear she would not bash a church one of her daughters still works for. However she just recently told another friend privately that everything we have heard is true. She didn’t mean that in a good way. But she would not go into detail. She did tell me she regrets raising her daughters as Scientologists.
I'd Love to see Emily and Aaron do a podcast together! It would reach even More people,and make them aware of the abuses of scientology who in turn would tell even More people about it!
When you did the Jenni Kayne ad read, you said "one stop shop for home essentials." I heard "one stop shop for homosexuals." I had to rewind it to be sure. I was like, "oh, lord EDB gettin' canceled today." 😂
I’ve been directed to you from ‘Growing up in Scientology’ AARON is brilliant on the subject and he’s a fan of yours. Can’t wait to hear what you have to say 👍🏼
Here from Growing Up in Scientology. Question: would the documents seized by the FBI from Operation Snow White detailing the plans of attack on Paulette Cooper be admissible as evidence of CoS tactics and Fair Game Policy? Thanks :) x
Thank you SO MUCH, our beloved Emily, for covering this case. I have so much respect for the both of you: (you & Leah) & your shared constant anchored strength, both of you accompanied by beauty & brains.🥰🙏
My husband and I watched every episode of her show and lived it! We live in Utah so here it's Mormon church and its branched of religions... FLDS ect... So her show really had us hooked...
Ty Ty Ty this is such an important case. The abuse of children and destruction of families has to be stopped. This is not a religion and worse than a cult.
