With my 20+ years living in Clearwater, I only ever had a brief encounter with the scientologists, outside my workplace, where they asked me three questions.
We saw them when we went downtown, where their building is, but I never really saw them again until I started working at a health food store. Only saw them from behind the counter.

Here are just a few things that Leah Remini said about Tom Cruise
Quote:I don’t doubt that Tom is in Scientology because he believes in it, but to me he has simply been given too much power by his church.
My disaffection wasn’t a result of Tom receiving preferential treatment, it was a response to what I saw as church rules being broken for him and, as a result, families were torn apart, and people’s lives were altered forever.
There was seemingly nothing the church wouldn’t do to keep its most dedicated Scientologist happy. They were even said to be involved in finding him a girlfriend. The unlucky girl chosen after Tom Cruise broke up with Penelope Cruz was Nazanin Boniadi.
Naz underwent a confidential mission for the church where she thought she was being prepared for a special humanitarian project, but ended up with the role of Tom’s girlfriend.
The man assigned to preparing Naz for this mission was Greg Wilhere, a senior Sea Org executive and David Miscavige’s right-hand man.
To get Naz ready for Tom, he needed to get rid of her current boyfriend. He tried to convince her that her boyfriend was only a distraction to her mission in the church.
The next angle Greg tried was telling Naz that her boyfriend was “not qualified to associate with the dignitaries and world leaders Naz would be meeting on the mission,” implying that he was committing transgressions against Scientology and wasn’t a good person.
After three months of relationship with Naz, Tom was fed up with her, and his lackeys in the church dumped her instead of him personally.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I remember that incident. It's like Audition if, instead of drugging and torturing the male lead, she ended up snapping at the wrong person while she had a migraine and was condemned to scrub toilets.

Tom Cruise?
