The first time I heard about Scientology was in 2015, when ABC's 20/20 did a special on Leah Remini's experience in the "religion". I then had a very strange experience of my own at my job with an actual scientologist (male).

I was 18 at the time, living in NYC and working retail in Times Square. I remember I was checking someone out and they mentioned they worked at a Scientology building nearby. Mind you I had no idea there was a Scientology building in the area. I then for some reason told the man I've heard about many of their horrible practices and that I've been following everything Leah Remini has been saying about the 'religion".
The man got visibly irritated after I said this and replied with "Well you should really go and see for yourself. Experience it on your own instead of listening to what someone else says." he wasn't hostile but I can tell I hit a nerve.
Anyways, he left and that was the end. I've been following Remini's interviews, her shows, and that podcast since and I have to say it is all very interesting and scary. The amount of power that so called "religion" seemingly has and how much they have gotten away with is beyond belief.
More than anything, I want to know where Shelly Miscavige is.
I'm so glad Leah's work has helped you understand how evil Scientology is. And yes a classic Scientology talking point is "find out for yourself" - it sounds simple enough, even sounds fair...but it's a way to divert attention away from the criticism that's been lobbed at them and it's also a way for them to indoctrinate unsuspecting people.
