Leah Remini & Scientology: Sounds Familiar
I saw Leah Remini on ABC's Good Morning America today interviewed about her departure from the Church of Scientology. She talked about how she lived in fear of being "written up" by church members for saying or doing things the church frowned upon. She talked about being out to dinner and living in fear that someone would see her drinking alcohol and report her. I guess you had to pay fines to the church if you violated their policies. She said that the church ultimately would pressure you to choose the church over family relationships. She left for that reason. She didn't want her daughter to have to grow up feeling like she had to make that choice.
Some of what she said sounded eerily familiar.
