What if leaving a religious organization meant turning your entire world upside down? In our latest episode, we kick off our Q&A series on Scientology by unraveling the concept of Knowledge Reports (KRs) and the dire consequences for failing to write one. I share a poignant story about my wife, Claire, and her personal experience with KRs, shedding light on the intricate dynamics within the Church.

The episode also uncovers the shockingly low wages of Sea Org members and why it’s crucial for former members to scrutinize their Social Security earnings for gaps and inaccuracies.

Our conversation takes a serious turn as we discuss ongoing harassment by Scientology, the bizarre "running program," and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Shelley Miscavige's mother, Flo. Claire also breaks down the manipulative tactics of Scientology auditing, which often shifts blame onto the individual for any negative experiences, and shares how ex-Scientologists can regain good standing within the organization.

In a lighter segment, we touch on the humorous side of Scientology, including an amusing misunderstanding where L. Ron Hubbard was mistaken for Colonel Sanders. Learn about the origin of the Mike Rinder bobblehead and its current role in raising funds for the Aftermath Foundation.
