Leah Remini (48) is no longer just the Star of the cult Comedy series “King of Queens”. The actress is now one of the biggest opponents of Scientology. For 35 years she was a member of the religious community. In 2013 she left Scientology, and fought passionately against it. In the Emmy-winning documentary series “Leah Remini – life after Scientology” (today at 21:50 and next week, Monday to Friday from 12:55 p.m., respectively, on A&E), raise your voice against the organization and former members and insiders.
On Sunday, 18. November, shows A&E at 23:20 as a German TV Premiere in the framework of the theme week “Twisted Faith – Power and Manipulation,” a two-hour documentary Special of the series. Together with Mike Rinder (63), over 20 years of international Scientology spokesman, examines the Jehovah’s witnesses. How is this different from Scientology, and how much Remini still in use today by Scientology is threatened, she says in an Interview with the news Agency spot on news.
her Show “Leah Remini: life after Scientology” is already in the third season. Has you surprised of this success?
Leah Remini: Yes, I was very surprised. I had the fear that the people would say: “Oh, this is something that does not concern me. I would never join Scientology.” Finally, there are many prejudices in the minds of many have a preconceived opinion. We have worked very hard to show the viewers, what are these people, what are the motives they have. Many who join Scientology are not convinced that they help only themselves, but also to do Good. They even save the world. And Scientology feeds them in the Faith by claiming to know the only answer to all the questions of humanity, such as diseases.
And for this Fenomenbet the members pay any amount of money…
Remini: Yes, the difference between Scientology and other religions: Scientology costs a lot of money. Hundreds of thousands of dollars for each member. You have to pay to become a member. Then it’s time to take a number of courses, the course must be also paid for all of them. Every day, each member spends at least two and a half hours with the organization. Scientology is based on the writings and policies of Ron L. Hubbard. One of these guidelines States that if someone turns against Scientology, you have to destroy him. Can you imagine a Church that does this?
In a Special to the Show, you can also look at the Jehovah’s witnesses.
Remini: Yes, we were asked to do so. We had not thought of the self. It is a overwhelming question was, Yes, even a Petition, so that we can also devote ourselves to the Jehovah’s witnesses. They have very similar practices and structures, such as Scientology. What we saw was absolutely devastating. These people want to believe in the first place just really and truly about something. You want to be told what and how to think you have. I, too, was once like that, so I understand. Also in the case of the Jehovah’s witnesses, there are guidelines, such as dealing with former members, or the rejection of blood transfusions in the event of illness. You let your own child die than to give him the life-saving Transfusion. Everyone can believe what he wants. But if other people, or even your own children are hurt, then you should really Believe.
