Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief
by Lawrence Wright
informative
slow-paced
This book was suggested to me by someone I know who was watching the show with Leah Remini that she has with Mike Rinder on Netflix and Hulu. I have watched her show, read her book, and watched the Going Clear documentary film on HBO. The book includes interviews with some current and former members of Scientology, and their responses of how they got sucked into this religion are so interesting to me. Learning about how the structure of Scientology is set up is both interesting and mind blowing. People really let themselves believe some wild things. L Ron Hubbard was such a scam artist and had a vivid imagination. He made himself out to be some Naval hero, when he was a terrible commander and took his silly commander obsession and created himself a scifi religion and sucked in to many people and milked them for all they had and sent them into severe debt. I hope people who are still in this are able to get themselves out. This does not seem like a productive thing for an individual or society as a whole.
