p2pnet - rss feed: Former Scientology superstar blasts the cult
p2pnet news | Freedom:- “Scientology is destructive and a rip-off.”
The words are actor and former cult member Jason Beghe’s as he expressed them in a YouTube video.
“If Scientology is real,” he goes on, “then something is fucked up.
“It ain’t delivering what is promised, that’s for Goddamned sure.”
Beghe is now speaking out against the Cult of Scientology, says the Wikipedia, continuing >>>
After leaving Scientology, Beghe contacted Andreas Heldal-Lund, founder of Operation Clambake, who convinced him to meet with Mark Bunker, a critic of Scientology known to Anonymous as “Wise Beard Man”.
Heldal-Lund and Bunker went to Beghe’s house, where Beghe participated in an interview about his experiences as a Scientologist.
Bunker published a 3-minute portion of the 3-hour interview to YouTube on April 7, 2008.”
And in an interview with FOX News, “Beghe told Roger Friedman that the head of the Church of Scientology, David Miscavige, referred to him as ‘the poster boy for Scientology’,” says the post.
Says The Frame Problem >>>
Given his celebrity, his keen commitment to Scientology, and his remarkably rapid progress through Scientology, the cult’s administration viewed Beghe as something of a trophy member. Beghe reports having to constantly show up at parties and social events with a successful smile on his face, to help the cult continually keep its best foot forward.
The good times didn’t keep on rolling forever for Beghe. His rate of progress up the ladder (or across “The Bridge”, in the Scientology system) slowed dramatically at the highly advanced levels, which involved extensive personal interrogation as if he were on trial for a high crime. His slow rate of progress came at his own expense: he was obligated to pay for more and more auditing sessions, at a cool price of $1,000/hr.
Beghe says that that proof that Scientology was no longer working for him came to him in the form of a near-fatal car accident. Given his level of training, according to the promises of Scientology, he should have been “practically immortal”. Like members of the recognized religions that Scientology is trying to gain social parity with, Scientologists framed this evidence against the word of L. Ron Hubbard in a faith-biased manner: they said that someone must be “suppressing” Beghe. Just as falsifiability is a core feature of science, it seems that unfalsifiability is a cornerstone of cult/religious theology. In the case of Scientology and Beghe, however, this biased interpretation based on an unfalsifiable and unwavering belief that “LRH technology” (i.e., L. Ron Hubbard’s procedures) is utterly flawless could result in only one thing: MORE MONEY! Yes, Beghe was persuaded to pay for more pricey audit sessions to attempt to figure out who was suppressing Beghe to the point of apparently making him a lowly mortal. Beghe asserts that the auditor suggested that a gay friend may be the suppressive person in Beghe’s life - y’know, what with the guy being gay and all … In Dianetics, LRH wrote that homosexuality is a sexual perversion; the homosexual is physically ill and is dangerous to society.
Beghe continued to be unhappy in Scientology and as he discussed leaving it with Scientology admins, they made significant efforts to keep him aboard. Most notably, they offered to make him president of a celebrity center. Beghe didn’t bite, though.
Both he and his wife left the cult. Or in Scientology lingo, they blew.
The Beghes’ big project now is to help others by sharing the knowledge that they have acquired of Scientology. As Beghe put it “These are bad motherfuckers”.
Stay tuned.

To stop this Scientology mess we will have to get Miscaridge and put him in jail or else.

It seems you can liken scientology members with players of a fruit machine, after a while the law of diminishing returns becomes apparent.
If you feel the world is cheating you or you “deserve” better than everyone else then your problem lies within, there is no short cut to any of mans desires, work hard and know you have earned your place in society.
Its a shame that people feel so disconnected from society that they become prey to charlatans offering seemingly “fast track ” ways to positions of power or riches.

Just a shame it took him and his wife this long to realise that is all a complete load of bollox
April 17th, 2008 at 10:39 am
well well.. maybe it isn’t complete bollox..
thats why it took em so long to leave..
just like all those poor souls that leave
the centre.. and then whine about how
bad and evil ’scientology’ is..
like all the ppl that come to the point where
they have to accept, that they can’t compete
in a group.. neither by intellect, nor by
financial advantage.. they turn their back on
the group and shout: ‘they are all stupid’
lrh has written some great and true stuff..
ppl should actually read some of it.. a good start
would be ‘dianetics’ you don’t have to go to
auditings/spend a day in the ‘church’/whateva
but do read that book..

They’ve taken down the video, along with WBM’s account. They did this to Tory yesterday.

I feel very sorry for the people who are brainwashed by this evil cult. The government needs to step in and do something to protect innocent people’s lives. Interested in learning about the cult of Co$, visit www.xenu.net

Once again the criminal crime syndicate of scientology purchases YOUTUBE to censor them. Ashamed of Youtube. Get your videos elsewhere. Each censorship of a video results in 10 times the reposts of the same video.

Just search for “Jason Beghe” and you’ll find a bunch of people who have mirrored the 2-part video.

DstructaOfLamerz… NO MORE PSYCH DRUGS FOR YOU YOUNG MAN!!!!!
May 27th, 2008 at 5:33 am
Centurian:
how dare you call me a foolish drug addict just because
i have a different opinion bout something.. next thing is..
you call me a ‘young man’..?! k.. iunno how old you are
but if you call me young man you got to be at least around
60yrs old.. coz i’m 36 atm..
i’m no member of the ‘cos’ + never been one.. i visited
their local centre here a few times when i was in my 20s..
never ever tried to force me to something i didn’t want,
there (i can only speak for myself) and they certainly
didn’t try to ‘never let me out again’ i looked at a few things
i tried a few things.. and i came to the decision, that the
book ‘dianetic’ has a lot of truth.. (i talked bout that with
my psychology prof in college - and he told me, that he
already knew, that a lot of the things mentioned by lrh
actually do work, and that they are just being misused
for financial profit)
besides guess what.. there wouldn’t be so many ppl around
the world participating, if i’s all utter crap.. i just wasn’t sure
if the ‘church’ as they now call emself.. is still what the ‘centre’
should’ve become imho..
thats all.. and from what i’ve seen.. and read (i mean,
everyone can read the intelligence reports of various
countries secret service depts) there’s more foolish
conspiracy theories bout the cult, than actual incriminating
material.. but i’m quite sure, that there are also scams and
bad ppl in ‘cos’.. just like catholic priests rape lil boys..
and baptist tv preachers misuse money.. and islamic scholars
knowingly misinterpret the quoran.. etc etc.. pp..
so next time.. don’t be such an asshat and take down your
blinders
