Anyone seen it? Just watched it last night. Messed up cult of a religion. The things people can be swayed into believing is f'ing crazy!

I'm not sure which one you just watched, but I watched one last week on ID and I think it was a 48 Hours special (might be a couple of years old) or something, but it showed how this one guy was in there for 27 years or so and how he tried to leave and was brought back, then finally left and they still pound on his front door harassing him because he left. Those people are total wack jobs.
The one I saw was where a guy joined so because he was at his last straw with his brother, who had issues mentally and he figured he would try to learn what they were preaching so he could help his brother because they wouldn't work with his brother because he had previously had treatment for his mental issues. This guy ended up staying for 27 years and they wouldn't let him out of the compound to go visit his dying father. When he left without permission, they were at his father's bedside within an hour, harassing him to come back. The video they showed of the people pounding on his door showed them all wearing shirts with squirrels on the shirts.Originally posted by mbb07c:

It was on HBO. They interviewed a few high ranking people that left and they all said they were harassed. One guy recorded the people that came to his house. They are called squirrel busters and are sent to people that left and may cause trouble for the church

Could replace Scientology with any religion and most of it would still fit.Originally posted by mbb07c:

That show wasn't about some just random guy from the Scientologists......that was Marty Rathbun. He was the 2nd hand man to David Miscavige (the leader of the kooks, now that L.Ron has been beamed back to the mother ship). He was, as an apt comparison, Heinrich Muller if Miscavige was Hitler. Rathbun's hands aren't clean in any sense, and his leaving wasn't as clear as that show made it out to be. After he left, he was still doing the stuff, but thought of himself as an independent Scientologist.Originally posted by Manch.:
