I managed to find a copy of "Going Clear" on the internet. I won't post a link because most are loaded with pop-ups and you have to be careful about accidental downloads. Mine was no exception, but I managed to keep the computer clean. It was a link from putlocker, so they are out there now. Just be careful. If I could have found a trusted link that just charged a couple bucks, I would have paid it.
Anyway, people really need to understand that when someone is sucked into a dangerous mind-control cult, they are not exposed to all the information that would cause an intelligent person to avoid the group. Scientology doesn't tell new members about the Zenu and the spaceships dropping creatures into volcanoes and all that nonsense. You have to be intertwined with the life and the lies before you can learn that garbage.
I think it is highly possible that John Travolta is just keeping quiet because of all the things they know about him.
I say these things because I have heard over the years, many comments about being too intelligent to become a JW and how my coworkers or family members would never have gotten suckered into the Jehovah's Witnesses (or other cults). I could similarly say I would never have been suckered into Scientology because of all their weird doctrines, but I know better. When some group offers you all the answers to all the questions and/or all the solutions to all your problems, you might apply the old saying "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." JW's did that for me. Scientology did that for many of it's members.
The best usable quote from the documentary, in my opinion, was:
"People are so indoctrinated and have been in Scientology a really long long time or they've grown up in it, they don't know anything else. It's so scary to them to have to start all over, and it takes a really strong person to stand up to them and say NO !"
The same woman, Sara, who makes the above statement near the end of the show also presents the saddest moment. In her turmoil over the church, her adult daughter, with a family and a daughter of her own, says to Sara, "Mom, I love you but I have to disconnect from you." That would be the equivalent to JW shunning.
A guy named Tom, 10 minutes from the end says, "When you're out, you look at it and go 'WHAT THE....CRAP WAS I THINKING?'" He indicates that it is easy to see the problem with it, but only from the outside.
At the very end, they mention that membership is way down to 50 thousand people but that church assets (worldwide properties) are valued at over 3 Billion Dollars. The documentary seems to indicate that they don't really need to recruit or retain members anymore because they have what they want- money. I actually look forward to the day when Jehovah's Witnesses don't try to retain members and all they want to do is run away with the money. While I might not like that outcome, I would gladly settle for "the leaders" taking the money and running away without the people.
Overall, I would say that I have heard virtually everything about Scientology said in this work, except for the personal stories and the information about celebrities. That is because I have a vested interest in learning about cults. But in this heavily talked about new release, the putting together of all the information AND THE CELEBRITY STUFF is many nails in the coffin of this dangerous cult. I gotta believe this will seriously hurt their membership drives and retention and their pockets.
