In this video, we react to Season 1, Episode 2 of Scientology and the Aftermath, which dives deep into the emotional and psychological toll that comes with leaving the Church of Scientology—specifically through the powerful story of Mike Rinder.Once a top executive within Scientology, Mike left the church and has since been labeled a “suppressive person.” We discuss how the church’s disconnection policy tore his family apart, how surveillance and harassment became part of his new reality, and how these tactics echo similar experiences in other high-control religions we've witnessed or lived through ourselves.#Scientology #MikeRinder #LeahRemini #ScientologyAftermath #ReligiousTrauma #Disconnection #ExCult #HighDemandReligion #ReactionVideoIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]
