[Screen: ON SEPTEMBER 19 LEAH REMINI: SCIENTOLOGY AND THE AFTERMATH SHARED PAUL HAGGIS’ STORY]

PH: These people are doing extreme things.

MR: (nods)

PH: And they need to be held accountable.

[Screen: THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY FIRED BACK]

[Scene: Scientology website
Highlighted: In other words, some things never change. With success in his rear-view mirror, Paul Haggis is only of interest to Leah Remini and A&E for the hate he will spew. As with Wright, he’s become their “donkey,” braying his stale lies once again before their cameras.]

[Screen: BUT SURVIVORS CONTINUE TO COME FORWARD
EPISODE 6 STARTS NOW]

[00:00:19.386]
[Screen: The Church of Scientology challenges the credibility of the contributors appearing in this program, and their statements.
As of the airing of this episode, the Church has not agreed to participate.
The Church disputes many of the statements made by Leah Remini and Mike Rinder.
…The fact that your program is a profit-making venture should be repeatedly disclosed by Remini and Rinder…
…Your two “hosts,” Leah Remini and Mike Rinder, were excommunicated from the Scientology religion…
…We do not doubt that Mike Rinder and Leah Remini failed to achieve the spiritual gains available through auditing. Their own dishonesty and unethical lifestyles would have necessarily blocked any possibility of spiritual gains… (Church of Scientology letter 09/01/2017)]

[Screen: “Child Scientology could very well be, in terms of practice, the most important single field of endeavor in the science. So used, without other addresses or assistances, Scientology might well bring about the condition of world peace…” – L. Ron Hubbard]

[Scientology Promotional Video
CHILDREN
Narrator: A child is not special species of animal distinct from man. A child is a man or a woman who has simply not reached their full growth yet.
So any law which applies to the behavior of men and women also applies to children.]

[00:01:11.137]
[Scene: Mace-Kingsley Ranch]

[Scene: Impact Magazine
Issue 19; views of Carol Kingsley and Debbie Mace; the ranch; M-K website]

MR: In 1987, celebrated Scientologist Debbie Mace and Carol Kingsley opened the first Mace Kingsley Ranch in Palmdale, California.

They promoted it as a place for youth to receive an education and a wholesome camp-like experience that would set them on their path to being good Scientologists.

According to their promotion, the intention of the Mace-Kingsley Ranch was to deal with children of Scientologists who were in trouble.

To use Scientology technology and auditing to get them on the straight and narrow and move them onto the first steps of the Bridge.
