I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mike Rinder today. Mike was an activist and author who had an unmeasured level of dedication to his cause. In the few interactions I had with him, he was extremely kind and generous with his time. This week's episode is from when Mike joined me to talk about his memoir A Billion Years. I hope you enjoy it. We'll miss you Mike. --- Original Airdate: October 10, 2022 This week I'm thrilled to welcome Mike Rinder to the podcast. I've been a huge fan and supporter of his work since I first read Lawrence Wright's book Going Clear about the history and abuses of the Church of Scientology. Mike co-hosted the A&E documentary series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. He reunited with Remini for the podcast Scientology: Fair Game. Mike was kind of enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk about his new memoir A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology. I can't recommend this book enough. It's one I will definitely revisit over the years. Thanks for listening!  Kyler -- Episode Links:  Mike Rinder's Blog  The Aftermath Foundation ("...help those who want to leave Scientology and the Sea Organization, but lack a system of support they can rely on while getting on their feet in the outside world.")  IG: @rindermike  While available you can purchase signed copies of A Billion Years HERE.In this episode Mike mentioned these books:  Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover  Bare-Faced Messiah: The True Story of L.

Empowered Through Compassion: EMDR and IFS Informed Therapy

Season 2, Episode 24, Release Date: 3-29-2024 Compassion Through The Media   Welcome to this episode, where I was able to have a "Compassionate Conversation" with a childhood friend of mine: Eli Holzman. Eli is the CEO of The Intellectual Property Corporation, which he founded in 2016. Eli is President of Sony Pictures Television, Nonfiction. I wanted to speak with Eli about therapy, and how it is represented in the media, because Eli knows media! He is a writer and executive producer who has won numerous Primetime Emmy Awards, Critic Choice Real TV Awards, and also MTV and TV Awards.  He has over 75 shows that he has been the Executive Produce on, which include Undercover Boss, Project Runway, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, Free Meek, American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance.   We spoke about Project Runway, and how Eli filmed this at Parsons: The New School for Deign, and positive power that the show had to influence people. Eli said, "On the show something special happened. Contestants started helping each other, they weren't cut throat. They were kind."   Eli shared that as he was building his first company he was creating Undercover Boss. "This helped me define my values." Eli shared how some of his employers led by fear, but he wanted to find another ways to lead! He recognized on Undercover Boss that "humans crave esteem as much as water and air. Just seeing someone receive this can touch us."   Eli spoke about the current crisis in television. "Our tastes have become so broad, and there are so many options out there now."    I wanted to know, what would a counseling reality show look like? We spoke about "Couple's Counseling" as one option. Eli spoke about some of the challenges of a counseling reality show. (a) people like stories were there are big changes, and drama. Counseling could be slow and incremental. (b) the topics that are covered could be very specific to the people involved. (c) TV and media are going to represent a small percetage of the population that have the personality and skills to capture the interest of an audience.   Eli said he feels it could be very helpful to explore how we can monitor our bodies, and how this information can lead us to making better decisions. He also feels that it could be interesting and important to understand more about inter-generational legacies and how these are passed down and impact us.   Eli spke about how our mental health is manipulated on a regular basis, perhap more than any other time in history. This is done by the computers that we carry around in our pockets (our smart phones). This technology is engineered to capture our attention, and is very deliberate. We are in a time in history where these devices in our pocket also hold all of the solutions to our problems-- all the answers to our mental and emotional health are within our reach, if we know how to search for them.

Welcome back to the Lighthouse Project, a Children of Scientology Production. Our last episode captured the moments immediately following the conviction of Danny Masterson, in which Christi, Victoria, and Mirriam began to process, digest, and discuss what this might mean for the Jane Does in this trial, as well as all Scientology victims of sexual assault. For so many of us who were told that real justice would never be possible. We registered the verdict in ripples and emotional shock waves, marveling at how truly momentous and historical this outcome is. In this episode, Christi and Mirriam are joined by Serge Del Mar, who has been a long-time advocate within our second-generation community. Serge was born and raised in Scientology, and after surviving the unthinkable hell that is being a minor trapped there, is now a force to be reckoned with on his YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@SergeDelMar which he created to combat the complicity of government, corporate media, and law enforcement. Serge is recognized for delivering searingly informative dialogue, as he continues to shine a glaring spotlight on violations of human rights, including abuse and sexualization of children, labor trafficking, and much more, that occurs within Scientology organizations. Together, we discuss the people who have enabled Danny Masterson and Scientology, as they committed horrific acts and were systematically relieved of any consequences for their crimes.

Office of Special Affairs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Special_Affairs The Office of Special Affairs (OSA), formerly the Guardian's Office, is a department of the Church of Scientology International. According to the Church, the OSA is responsible for directing legal affairs, public relations, pursuing investigations, publicizing the Church's "social betterment works," and "oversee[ing its] social reform programs". OSA is the successor to the now-defunct Guardian's Office,[6] which was responsible for Operation Snow White and Operation Freakout; both are in Department 20 in the Scientology organizational chart. The most recent head of OSA International was Mike Rinder, who has since departed from the organization and criticizes it severely, appearing as a co-host on Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.[7] In addition to regular staff, some church members also act as volunteer collaborators for the office, which cuts down on private investigation and legal research expenses.[9][10] Some volunteers participate under the notion that they receive special "ethics protection".[11] In one case a volunteer who read critical information about Scientology on the internet was led to believe that he would be unable to continue receiving services unless he performed a series of investigations for OSA.[12] Leaked OSA Volunteer List: https://scientologymoneyproject.com/2023/08/30/2006-osa-western-us-volunteer-list/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/children-of-scientology/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/children-of-scientology/support

On the podcast today, I have the absolutely amazing Sara Billups. Our show's format is very conversational and I love it that way. Truthfully I was so impressed, curious and moved by Sara's book Orphaned Believers: How a Generation of Christian Exiles Can Find the Way Home that this episode is a little more like a conversations with friends over dinner. It ebbs and weaves and then starts one way and moves another with the feverent pace of “oh man, you too?!” and also, “holy smokes I've never thought about that before.” Sara shares pieces of her story of growing up in the environment of end times prophecies being commonplace over her plate of macaroni and cheese as a child, or a booth at a milkshake shop with a friend. She unpacks huge terms like premillenial dispensationalism, how heavily focused rapture narratives held her family captive from engaging life on this side of heaven, and asking big questions like how does tradition become theology in the middle of a genuine love for Jesus and then how do things get lost in fear or just being human?   Sara would define an orphaned believer as someone who looks around the American church or just general broad strokes Christian culture and doesn't know where they belong. Or they are people like myself and Sara who sometimes struggle with what they're experiencing with many beloved brothers and sisters in Christ who are not acting like the Jesus we have experienced or of the Gospel. In that tension, how do put our eyes back on who God has always been and who He always will be? How do we pursue and embrace what role or gifts God has for us in this journey of healing? How do we allow God to use suffering, doubt, and confusion to draw us closer to Him no matter how much we desire to escape the pain? Its a lot, but its SO good.    Even though I was a bit of a poor conversation steward today, (my over excitement can get the best of me sometimes!) I hope and pray somewhere along the way you found a space for you in this conversation. You get to bring all of you and your questions and your broken experiences to the Jesus who knows people better than we know ourselves. He's aware of what comes against His church, distracts His people and distorts His name. But He's not finished. There is so much more hope to be found here on earth, and together with Him in Heaven, no matter when we get to see Him, He is coming back for us. BUT He has SO MUCH for us before He comes. That's just one of the many gifts of the Gospel is the promise, and assurance that He will be with us no matter what happens next. You are so loved, friend. You matter, and your story matters.    PS: Guess what y'all, the podcast book club is actually going to be reading this book together, AND Sara is (hopefully!) going to come talk with us about it as well because there's just so much more to unpack.

The end of days is spoken about a ton in various locations in scripture, but they need A LOT of context. Here is a continued list, but I encourage you to proceed with Holy Spirit-led discernment.

Rinder was raised a Scientologist from the age of 6 and finally escaped the organization when he was 52.Shortly after he graduated high school in April 1973 he joined the Sea Organization (Sea Org). This is the dedicated core of scientology, Sea Org members sign a billion year commitment to forward the aims of scientology and live communally with other Sea Org members, pretty much out of touch with the outside world. In October 1973 Rinder was aboard the Hubbard's ship Apollo (hence the name Sea Organization) and met him for the first time.In 1981 Rinder began what would become a lengthy history working in and leading the Office of Special Affairs. This is the department of scientology devoted to dealing with external facing matters, including media and public relations, legal and government relations, and dealing with the so-called enemies of scientology.In 2007 Rinder left scientology and has been very vocal about its workings and abuses.

No ano de 1950, o escritor de ficção científica L. Ron Hubbard publicou um livro intitulado "Dianética: A Ciência Moderna da Saúde Mental". Imediato sucesso de público, apesar de rechaçado pela comunidade médica e científica, o livro prometia curar o corpo e a alma de seus pacientes a partir de práticas simples e revolucionárias. Não demorou muito para que o movimento criado por LRH se tornasse algo ainda maior. Nascia assim, em 1953, a Cientologia, religião que capturou a atenção da mídia ao longo das décadas seguintes por suas práticas duvidosas e sua extensa lista de adeptos entre as celebridades de Hollywood. Nos arriscando a tomar o famoso "processinho" em busca da verdade, o RdMCast de hoje expõe todos os podres da religião/culto/esquema de pirâmide mais famosa e sinistra de Hollywood.

There is no describing this episode properly. This week is an epic tale of tangents. It's almost impressive what the guys DIDN'T talk about. Pete talks a bit of Stranger Things, Andrew talks about the Leah Remini Scientology docu-series. Kevin talks about the now classic Sci-Fi series, Fringe and the new FX series The Old Man. None of that takes up even a 10th of the episode, as the rails are complete hopped repeatedly. What is really impressive is how much Pete knows about Battlefield Earth. It's almost inexcusable to know this much about Scientology and L Ron Hubbard. Let's be honest, it's not shocking when you really think about. All we can do this week is apologize for what you see on this episode. That said, don't forget to like and subscribe. If you make it through this episode, it can only be uphill from here, right?

The Strange Death of Flo Barnett, Mother-in-law to Scientology Leader David Miscavige. Original Article by Tony Ortega Flo Barnett is a name you won't hear listed when it comes to popularly known Scientologists. Flo Barnett was the mother to Shelly Miscavige, who was / is married to present day Scientology leader, David Miscavige.  Shelly Miscavige became a name of interest when actor Leah Remini blew the whistle on Scientology. Remini had been questioning the whereabouts of Shelly Miscavige.  Due to a prolongated absence of Miscavige,  from their usual events that she would typically attend. Shelly Miscavige hasn't been seen in public for over 15 years now. While it has been stated that Shelly Miscavige is known to be alive and well, other's seem to question this as fact..due to the secrecy surrounding anything Scientology related.  If you thought the story about Shelly Miscavige was unusual, wait till you hear about her mother.  Most people are familiar with the usual character's & stories associated with Scientology. From Tom Cruise, to John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, & Leah Remini.  From the A&E series " Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath", to " Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology" By Leah Remini. There's even a documentary, " Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief" By Alex Gibney.  Scientology has been steeped in controversy since it's conception,  founded by L. Ron  Hubbard in the 1950's.  Hubbard initially developed a set of ideas that he called Dianetics, which he represented as a form of therapy. This he promoted through various publications, as well as through the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation that he established in 1950. The foundation went bankrupt, and Hubbard lost the rights to his book Dianetics in 1952. He then recharacterized the subject as a religion and renamed it Scientology, retaining the terminology, doctrines, and the practice of "auditing".[6][15][16] By 1954, he had regained the rights to Dianetics and retained both subjects under the umbrella of the Church of Scientology.[23] Follow Bizarre Buffet Online Support Bizarre Buffet On Patreon Follow Bizarre Buffet On Instagram Like Bizarre Buffet On Facebook Subscribe To Bizarre Buffet On YouTube Bizarre Buffet Online Follow The Host's Of Bizarre Buffet Follow Marc Bluestein On Instagram Follow Jen Wilson On Instagram Follow Mark Tauriello On Instagram   If you're enjoying the content brought to you here at Bizarre Buffet, please consider leaving a positive review of the show on Apple Podcast's / iTunes.

One suggestion is by watching documentaries or TV series of "sister religions". These can help deprogram someone that is questioning JW teachings or doctrines. Here are some recommendations: Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (Let us know if you also have a recommendation). For the rest of the episode, we covered: Tyler's surprise birthday party, relationship with parents, school, court and legal stuff. Let's play the game of "who is the ex reeling in"? Amanda tries out the Squid Hat. Then the latest in legal stuff, shenanigans from the ex, and newest court orders. One child's progress in "the wonder years", a "rite of passage", "coming of age", you get the idea... Wire hangers, freezing of video and 'swaying' to see if it's unfrozen. Compared 2020 vs 2021 annual report, push for volunteers to help with construction, and the super secret auditions for members to be apart of 'East Coast Hollywood', and Lloyd Evans taking a well deserved break. Looks like we make up one car group, and picking up one more brother after lunch before we head out into the ministry. We'll encourage each other and have up building conversations by discussing the latest recommendations in our car group. Stay tuned as we continue our Sunday by having another 'brother' join our Finding Paradise alumi. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/findingparadise/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/findingparadise/support

Our returning guest, Claire Headley was born and raised in Scientology and joined Scientology's "Sea Organization" at 16, including signing a billion-year contract. In the Sea Org, Claire was quickly promoted to Scientology's international headquarters in Hemet, California, where she worked for 14 years, including working as an executive in their Religious Technology Center under David Miscavige, Scientology's current leader. Claire escaped in 2005 at the age of 30, and since that time Claire and her husband Marc (author of Blown for Good: Behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology) have been speaking out against Scientology's abusive practices. Claire appeared in 3 seasons of Leah Remini: Scientology & The Aftermath and has contributed to many other documentaries, articles, and radio shows, educating the general public on Scientology. Claire also now serves on the board of The Aftermath Foundation, a non-profit organization that assists people leaving Scientology to start new lives. In this second half of their two-part conversation, Claire recalls for Rachel the inner emotional turmoil she experienced after escaping from Scientology. Rachel offers her insights on the psychological difficulties that are commonplace among people who have recently extricated themselves from all manner of high control groups. Together they examine the types of support that can help ex-group members recover safely and effectively. Claire explains how her advocacy for survivors has been an intrinsic part of her own healing. Before You Go: Rachel examines how many high control groups eliminate communication and anything perceived as negativity among its members. This, she explains keeps them isolated in their suffering, and prevents the peer support that gives individuals the courage to leave.

Is Scientology the one true religion? Is Scientology a Faith, is it Fiction, or is it merely a Cult? Since its inception, Scientology has been steeped in mystery and controversy. So, we wanted to find out what all the weirdness is about. Our findings were quite alarming. Their methods of indoctrination, their protocols surrounding their collective behaviors, and their mafia-esque management structure; All implicate a sinister narrative contradictory to what they preach. Google: Shelly Miscavige, and follow the path to the truth behind this new-age religion. This week the boys take on Scientology in efforts to understand the belief system behind the mystery.

Adrienne & Marilyn here! Welcome to Cult of One, where we explore why toxic relationships, groups, or ideologies are so addictive and what makes anyone susceptible to a cult of one, or many. We started Cult of One as the both of us experienced toxic relationships with our previous partners, simultaneously. Once we freed ourselves, we finally began talking about what was really happening behind closed doors. Through watching different cult series (The Vow, Wild Wild Country, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, etc.) we started realizing how many of their experiences lined up with our own; from emotional abuse, manipulation, isolation, to gaslighting. We joked that although we weren't a part of a group or large organization, we were still in a cult with our leader being our partner - we were in a Cult of One. This project began as a way to express our story along with giving other's a platform to tell theirs; whether it's a relationship with a partner, family member, friend, or even a boss. Between personal stories, we are also inviting therapists, life coaches, and psychologists on to offer guidance and expertise on how to heal from traumas and build boundaries to avoid further toxic relationships. For our first episode, we want to introduce your to the show along with giving you a little bit of insight on Adrienne's experience. We are so excited to have you hear to listen; we hope our platform sparks conversations and can aid in your own journey! * If you love this episode, be sure to tap that subscribe button! * _______________________________________

Welcome to Minisode Monday, where we kick off the week with something quick and actionable -- to make you more magnetic and effective -- that you can implement right away. In this Minisode Monday, friend and former guest Cole Hatter of Thrive (September 29th-October 1st, 2017 in Las Vegas -- use promo code AOC at checkout for a big, big discount if you're planning on going) joins us to explain how we can ensure we're making the best decisions by using absolute truths to guide us. Let's get to it! The Cheat Sheet: We're all the products of our decisions -- so how do we ensure we're making the right decisions that will benefit us in the long run? Create absolute truths -- core values or beliefs -- in relationships, career, health, and spirituality. These absolute truths act as compasses toward which we align our decisions. Acknowledge which of these two types of decisions we're making: inconsequential or defining moments. When you come to a defining moment, ask: a) What are my options? and b) What are the possible outcomes? Then choose the outcome most congruent with your absolute truths. Even if this process forces you to make tough choices, it should keep you from making regrettable ones. As Cole says, it helps us avoid "making a long-term decision to solve a short-term problem."

Focusing on goals that are far away or can only be experienced in a distant (or alternative) future means we never really experience rewards for our efforts. Instead of saying something like, "I'll be happy when I'm thin and muscular," say, "I'll be happy when I go to the gym." Immediately achievable goals set by a lower bar are far more effective in getting you to your desired target emotion than the cycle of failure triggered by a bar set too high.
