• Scientology’s War on Mental Health & Journalists | Aftermath S1E8 Reaction

  In this episode, we react to Scientology and the Aftermath Season 1, Episode 8, which dives into the Church of Scientology’s troubling stance on mental health and its aggressive tactics against journalists. We discuss how Scientology views psychiatry as an enemy, the harmful impact this has on members who need real help, and the shocking stories of reporters who were stalked and harassed simply for trying to expose the truth. As we share our insights, we connect these patterns to what we’ve seen in other high-demand groups—where control, fear, and silencing critics often take priority over helping people.If you’ve ever wondered why Scientology is so hostile toward psychiatry and the press, this conversation will shed light on both.If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]

• How Miscavige Changes the Rules: Auditing Training & Disconnection in Scientology

  In this video, we react to Scientology and the Aftermath Season 1 Episode 7, where Leah Remini and Mike Rinder expose the devastating effects of Scientology’s disconnection policy and the pressure of training for auditing. We share our perspective on how David Miscavige constantly changes the rules to tighten control, keeping members in a cycle of confusion and dependency.We also dive into the heartbreaking impact of being cut off from family, especially when tragedy strikes, and how those losses are made even more painful by the church’s demands for loyalty over love. Drawing from our own experiences in high-demand religious groups, we connect the dots between Scientology and other communities that use similar tactics of control.👉 Let us know in the comments what stood out to you most from this episode.#Scientology #LeahRemini #TheAftermath #CultRecoveryIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]
