It's Alright Ma'... I'm Only Bleeding! | Philip A. Farruggio

Just watched Alex Gibney's new documentary on Scientology, Going Clear.

What really got to me was how utterly foolish and chronically masochistic many of those former members of this so called Church were. I have studied various cults, and even dabbled within one myself during my younger days.

I have seen, firsthand through my own vulnerability, how the need to either belong to or feel needed by a group of others can drive one to enter into these cults. The sad reality is that few people, and this is key, ever realize that it is in fact a cult that they are joining.

What made me literally shout at my television screen while listening to some of those interviewed was "How much **** did you have to take for so many years before you finally saw the light?" Watch the film and see for yourself how far people allow themselves to be manipulated and exploited and even tortured.

Mind you, my experience with cults like Scientology, including my brief visit with LifeSpring (an offshoot of EST), revealed to me the vast number of highly educated and (seemingly) intelligent people who allow themselves to be taken in. I myself was taken in too... as far as LifeSpring's advanced training course which consisted of two weeks of intensive (and expensive) mind control.
