The Nuclear Vaults thing is basically the plot of the 'Fallout' game. lol
Tom cruise can save it
According to Guinness World Records, L. Ron Hubbard is the most prolific writer of all time. In addition to founding Scientology, the author published 1084 fiction and non-fiction works between 1934 and 2006. Nobody can deny the unique talent of L. Ron Hubbard.
Yes, Scientology is real religion. All religions are initially attacked. All religions are kooky. A real religion can also be a cult. Some have done much good and some have harmed people
I understand why the host kept asking about leverage and vague threats, because of how crazy this "religion" is. But you need to understand that its not like Christianity where some people 100% believe in the bible as pure fact, and some people view it as a collection of stories for moral guidance. Think of every Scientologist as a hard core fundamentalist. With that perspective, Tom cruise's fame and career are absolutely meaningless to him compared to the literal fate of the planet. Its f*cking insane but they believe it with evey fiber of their being.
Love Aaron! Always love his interviews. Great job and thank you for putting so much energy into each episode.
Starbucks are not franchises
I'm glad this dude can laugh about his mom being a f**** crazy person and pulling them out of school to work for Scientology and f**** up his life
Aaron is awesome and keeps your attention the whole time. More Please!!!
Well they are kinda right the media is controlled by Big Pharma and Government!
What’s wrong with Dr berg? Lol I know he’s a chiro but he just went the nutrition direction. But his advice is fairly sound. 😂😂😂
I always thought the reason why Tom cruise is a Scientologist is because in that world he’s Saint Tom and treated as such if he was a Catholic or Christian he’d be noticed but not Sainted in the way he is in Scientology.
So abortion is only disgusting if someone else tell you to do it? Cool story
Coming back to this video now knowing that the nation of Islam and Scientology have joined forces just makes it crazy.
Man this was really enlightening. I knew Scientology was crazy but I didn’t realize just how batshit it really got lol. Lots of respect to him for not only being able to get out of that but also helping others in similar situations escape to live their best lives as well. Hopefully you have him on again, even though you said you don’t really take suggestions from the comments lol. If you do happen to see it then consider also Doug Tallamy as a guest to interview. Just my two cents for whatever it’s worth since it’s an important subject that he covers but doesn’t get much attention. I’d like to also say that you’ve come a long way Danny with your style and interviews, it takes time to understand/perfect a craft and you’re doing great so far. Just keep learning as you go and you’ll be one of the legends before you know it. Personally I’m not a fan of Lex Friedman at all lol and I’d rather watch a podcast like here where the conversations just feel more natural and free flowing. Anyways, great interview and keep up the great work!
Scientology similar to Buddhism? I don't think so! There is no slavery in Buddhism, for example.
The Ronster didn't count on the internet, where it is hard to perpetrate a big fat lie for very long. Bad news travels fast.
The IRS is giving pussies a bad name. Hopefully they can grow some balls and do their job on the Scientology tax theft.
Kabbalah Works in very similar ways
How is this guy so damn normal? After being in this sinister cult? It baffles me.
I'm glad I follow Jesus Christ he is my King and there is a Kingdom in Heaven and I want to go praise God. No weird stuff just love people treat people like you want to be treated do unto your neighbor as you'd do to yourself. Don't judge and have no other Gods than the on True and Living God. Get to know Jesus he taught love.
kind of makes you wonder why the Catholic Church still has their tax exempt status 🤔
It's just like the Mormons!!! One day the future 'Joseph Smith' will dig in the ground and find this cache of the prophet L Ron Hubbard. Maybe there is hope for mankind.
worst interviewer ever, great guest
Geez this is horrible. You were neglected and abused. I can't imagine doing this to your child. I'm glad you're out now and thriving Aaron.
It’ll take losing tax exempt status
Aaron – one could absolutely go into the Vatican ask a Cardinal if he wanted to be there— or asking any man or woman religious if they want to be there …. Anytime…..
AA RON IS GOOD
reporting on scientology but marketing a supplement … that is my kind of humor.
If they're committing bank fraud as Aaron says through maxing credit card out before the death of one of their members, that's the nail in the ⚰️
