Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. We're back with another greatest hits mashup this week, pulled together from the Little Bit Culty archives for your late listening pleasure because…well…we can't quit you - not even for a short late summer, early fall hiatus. Can you believe some shows go on hiatus? LAMMMMMME! Not us. Breaks are for babies.  For real though, while we're working on fresh batches of cult-busting brand new episodes, we wanted to stir that proverbial pot a little more by revisiting one of our favorite culty topics….Scientology. AKA, the brainchild of L. Ron.  You know it, you loathe it, or…maybe you just mock it. To be fair, unless you're a Scientologist, they think you're pretty silly too. So it's all even-stevens We are diving deep into the Danger Zone in this episode – featuring 3 top guns who have taken on the Impossible Mission of exposing Scientology – which we all know can be Risky Business. Ok, enough Tom Cruise puns – let's introduce A Few Good Men – and a super badass woman – who you'll hear from on today's show. First up is the patron saint of cult-busting, Leah Remini, who's book Troublemaker chronicles her remarkable journey toward emotional and spiritual freedom from Scientology, both for herself and for her family. Next is Mike RInder. Having spent his youth doing things like, for example, swabbing the decks of L. Ron Hubbard's yacht, Rinder eventually made it into the elite sect of Scientology known as the Sea Organization, eventually becoming Scientology's International Spokesperson and the head of its Office of Special Affairs. Then, he escaped and became a fearless and outspoken ex-member. Last is Jon Atack – one of the only court-appointed expert witnesses on Scientology, and his book: Let's Sell These People a Piece of Blue Sky, about the early history of the church, is cited by academics all over the world. Jon was a ‘public' Scientologist for nine years, trained as a counselor, and even did the secret ‘OT' levels, but ditched it when he discovered appalling, aggressive behavior towards members. In addition to his work podcasting as a Scientology mythbuster  and using his Instagram account to help educate people on overcoming things like manipulation, destructive cults, and abusive relationships, he's written several novels, including Voodoo Child (Slight Return), inspired by the life and downfall of Jimi Hendrix.   Without further ado…please enjoy this Scientology Sucks, Sorry Not Sorry, A Little Bit Culty Medley.    Also… Let it be known far and wide, loud and clear that… The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Scientology: You know it, you hate it. To be fair, unless you're a Scientologist, they hate you too! So it's all even-stevens. But one person they really hate is Mike Rinder. How could anyone hate someone who's last name sounds like reindeer, especially just a few weeks after Santa made his international rounds on that reindeer-driven slay? Well, having spent his youth doing things like, for example, swabbing the decks of L. Ron Hubbard's yacht, Rinder eventually made it into the elite sect of Scientology known as the Sea Organization, eventually becoming Scientology's International Spokesperson and the head of its Office of Special Affairs. Then, he escaped and became a fearless and outspoken ex-member. If you didn't listen to the first interview we did with Mike, we're officially mad at you! But we can forgive and forget—just check it out here.  So why did we have him back on the show? Because he's so fucking lovely. Also, because he just released his new memoir: A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology. It's a batshit crazy and exclusive, first-hand look into the inner workings of Scientology and the harm this organization does to its brainwashed members. And in today's episode, we specifically get into how Scientology could potentially come to an end (hint: it involves the IRS no longer putting up with the “church's” bullshit).  So say a little prayer to Xenu and strap on in, cuz this one's a wild ride!  Buy A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology Mike's blog Mike's Website Mike's Facebook Mike's Instagram Also… Hear Ye, Hear Ye: The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

In Episode 134, we sit down with Merle Liivand to talk about her recent world record swimming 26.2 miles with a silicone mono-fin in the ocean just off the coast of Miami. An amazing feat covered in just over 11 hours, we discuss the physical demands of such a long swim, but also the psychological strength needed to swim through currents, jellyfish, pollution and other sea creatures. She accepted the challenge in an effort to continue to raise awareness about the importance of clean oceans, spreading the word with the help of the Guinness World Records organization. Finding out that Merle could not use her arms over the 11 hours swim was a shocking revelation. Her career as a competitive swimmer started as a child and she continued to swim longer and longer distances, progressing to open water challenges and even ice swimming.Merle Liivand is a national Estonian competitive swimmer, Model, aquapreneur, Swimera CEO, ambassador, Triathlete, International Spokesperson and open water swimmer from Tallinn, Estonia.

When it comes to reporting on Jewish communities in Judea & Samaria, nuance isn't exactly something often seen in the news media. Whether disdainfully referring to them as illegal Jewish settlements, or claiming that their existence violates international law, or even that they are the single biggest obstacle to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, it can be hard to separate truth from fiction and to try and understand the reality of these communities. Our guest this week will be sharing a unique viewpoint not often seen in the news media: that these Jewish communities are not only not obstacles to peace, but in fact may be very much the opposite. Since arriving on Aliyah from the United States in 2002, Josh Hasten has been at the forefront of Israel's public diplomacy efforts. Josh is currently the International Spokesperson for Gush Etzion. He is also the host of the weekly radio program “Israel Uncensored." Josh is also a well-known award-winning freelance journalist. He is also a sought-after guest for television interviews on current events in Israel, having appeared on CNN, BBC, Sky News, and more.

Just like the famous Route 66 connects Chicago to Los Angeles in the United States, Route 60 in Israel connects the Bible's most famous events and people. From Abraham to Moses, Jacob to King David, and David to Jesus Christ... this Biblical Heritage Highway is the original Bible Belt and is in the works to become a new pilgrimage for the biblically minded tourist. Yishai Fleisher is the impetus behind the move to make Route 60 more than a two-lane highway, but an historic site commemorating shared lineages. The four-thousand-year-old path stretches the length from the Samarian city of Shechem thru Shiloh and Beth El where Jacob saw a vision of a ladder connecting Heaven and Earth, and thru Jerusalem and Bethlehem the birthplace of Jesus... all the way to Be'er Sheva, the capitol of the Negev desert "where Abraham and Isaac found water and taught wayfarers about the One God." On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Yishai Fleisher, the International Spokesperson for the Jewish Community of Hebron, talks about the importance to this highway as a shared culture between the three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islaam... and how Route 60 can be a true pathway to peace in the Middle East.

Mining is an essential component to our everyday lives, providing us with the raw materials we need to create a wide variety of products. However, while mining contributes to our technological progress, it comes with an often hidden dark side rife with environmental and human rights abuses. When more than 60% of the world's mining companies are based in Canada, what does this mean for us as everyday ecocitizens? What responsibilities do we have with respect to holding these companies to account for their use and abuse of people and planet? These are some of the questions we drill into today with guests Chandu Claver, International Spokesperson for the Cordillera Peoples' Alliance, Teresa Kramarz, Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, and Sheri Meyerhoffer, Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE).

Since its creation in 1948, the State of Israel has been engaged in many wars with the neighboring Arab countries. The region has also been plagued with violence and terrorism for decades. These aspects of the conflict are well known. But is there another war going on as well? Our guest today is Yishai Fleisher. Yishai is the International Spokesperson for the Jewish community of Hebron. He is also the host of the Yishai Fleisher show, a podcast on The Land of Israel network. Yishai writes columns frequently in major news websites, including the New York Times. On this episode, we discuss what Yishai calls "The Narrative War." A war he believes Israel is currently engaged in. We also discuss why Yishai believes that Western mindsets only cause confusion in the Middle East. Lastly, Yishai discusses his hopes that once the enemies of Israel stop trying to undermine, and begin to work with the State of Israel, that the whole region will prosper.

In today's episode, I got the chance to talk with Rev. Fred Shaw Jr., International Spokesperson for the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International. In this talk we discussed some of the misdiagnoses of mental health issues, and what it could mean for society at large. When certain mental health issues get lumped in as disorders and get prescribed medication without digging deeper to find out the root cause, could it be creating more problems than we think? And is it really even about mental health... or is it something else? Learn more about Rev. Fred's mission at https://www.cchrint.org/ And enjoy the listen. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/archdevops/support

Show me religion by who is in its leadership. Is It diverse? Are people accepted for who they are? or are we stuck in the dogma of this is the only way. There is only one way. Does religion ask us to put people in boxes? Does it ask people to be robots? That's not who we are as humans, we are colourful, varied, nuanced and complex. Religion can be presented under the umbrella of 'culture' as simple. Do we make each other feel comfortable by performing our little head pats and circles on our tummy? Today we are talking about the fundamentals of religion, particularly Mormonism and Islam. Listen out for: Breaking out of conservative, mind-controlling religion COVID-19 - how we are dealing with this Letting go of religious beliefs and struggle with the emotional aspects Culture VS Religion - Are they the same or Shame? Learning about Mormonism and Islam Natalie in her own words… I've been immersed in writing, content creation, TV & radio, public relations and media relations in both my professional and tertiary experience. I have worked extensively as the face of brands in various forms from print, TVC, professional presenting and as an International Spokesperson. I have been featured on live TV and live at events for the brands I represent all over the world. My work has been varied across multiple platforms and spread to 5 different countries over the last 13 years, most recently interviewing entrepreneurs about the humanity behind their business building. Currently, I am a Life and Business Coach at Your Magnetic Life, helping souls find liberation from blocks and beliefs that are holding them back from drawing to them the life of their dreams. How may I serve you? I also host a podcast about rock bottoms, mining those caverns for the treasure contained within, and not just from the lens of the pinnacles of achievement born from them, but from the experience of the low-key spinout itself. I look forward to connecting with you there, found on all major podcast platforms, my show is called Your Spinout is Gorgeous. YSiG is a podcast that explores what treasures we can mine from the lowest moments of our lives. From the micro to the macro; ie a most embarrassing moment to a full-blown midlife crisis. There is always something we can first find humour in... and then alchemize the rest from traumatic to wisdom. Yeah, you just might find enlightenment! If not... you'll definitely find permission, that you don't need, to fully integrate your most unlovable traits and shameful stories of your own. Your spinout is gorgeous after all, and so is mine.

EPISODE 13: One of the most important missions of My Autism Tribe is to celebrate and empower the amazing individuals that are on the autism spectrum. There are so many! One of these amazingly gifted individuals is Rachel Barcellona. She is Miss Florida 2018 National American Miss (NAM) and was Miss Florida International 2016. Her platform “Ability Beyond Disabilities” inspires those that have challenges to strive for their dreams as well as to educate those who might not understand the challenges she, and others on the spectrum, face.   FROM RACHEL: I am an advocate for those with disabilities. I created my platform, The Ability beyond Disabilities, to inspire those that have challenges to strive for their dreams as well as to educate those who might not understand the challenges we face. As an individual with autism, I often felt like I could not do anything. People with disabilities or anyone who is different are often targets for bullies as I was, but because of my life and social experience, I have overcome many challenges. Today I am the International Spokesperson for the Center for Autism and Related Disabilities at the University of Florida (CARD-USF), and was recently elected to their executive board of directors. I was also named the Ambassador for the Unicorn Children’s Foundation and work closely with this international organization to help people with neurodiversity. I am a member of the International Thespian Honor Society, an honor student and vocalist and love to sing opera. I have been able to single at Madison Square Gardens twice. I have a passion for art and writing and am currently finishing my first book and will work to get it published when its finished. I also work with several organizations that provide services to individuals with disabilities including therapy such as occupational and physical along with music and art therapy and have made over 300 appearances with my international title. My plan for the future is to graduate from the University of South Florida and one day open my own school for children with disabilities. I also wanted to share some of the things that happened while I was growing up. I just turned 22 years old but starting in preschool and elementary school things were much different. I was diagnosed with Autism along with dyspraxia and later diagnosed with dyscalculia, and epilepsy. I can remember not being able to put enough pressure on a crayon to make a mark on a paper! Buttons zippers and snaps were a nightmare! It was very difficult to hold objects and jump and skip. I went through several years of physical therapy, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy, which helped a lot. I still however cannot ride a bike, although, I haven’t tried a 3 wheeler, and I am not able to drive. I passed my learners permit for driving but because of epilepsy and seizures I cannot get my license… yet! Hopefully one day but if not there are several ways to learn to get around. I joke with my parents that I am waiting for the Google car that drives itself! Dyscalculia became an issue as math became harder. I am not going to lie it was exhausting getting through higher level math and took all the help I could get from teachers tutors etc. I am so happy to tell you I have finished my college math courses and will definitely not become an engineer. I am pursuing a career in writing English and vocal studies and love to sing opera.    CONCLUSION: Education is so important, and what better way to be educated than through the voices of individuals like Rachel. It’s so powerful to hear their strength and their passion. Thanks to everyone in My Autism Tribe, today and always.
