I think ID tends to re-run a lot of their shows too so hopefully this stays on the heavy rotation.
 
Just finished watching. What a fantastic job! So happy this is out there for people to see now. Big thanks again to Nancy for telling her story both in the book and on this program. :rose:

I'm glad I watched the show. I never saw this side of Scientology personally but towards the end of my involvement, I was starting to put the pieces together. I would never have given them a nickel if I had understood that they were treating human beings that way.

A question: are any of you familiar with the piece of paper that got Nancy and Chris sent to the RPF while she was pregnant? I didn't quite catch the title but it was a strange variation on the word "Messiah." Like "Messiahistic"? I don't think that's right, but it was something like that. Have any of you seen that document? Is it available online?

Yikes! "Go do some surveys, find out what people are looking for in a Messiah so I know what kind of image to project..."

Excellent documentary. I wonder what Marty is going to say about it. Nancy was sent to the RPF when she was pregnant by LRH himself.. not Miscavige.
FWIW, the following comment was posted on Marty's blog:

I just finished watching Nancy Many’s story on Investigation Discovery. Very powerful. Very well done. What happened to Nancy was absolutely horrible.

Guaranteed, anyone who watches this show will NOT be going anywhere near an idle org. And the orgs will get even more idle and in time will be sold off.
This was after Marty or another moderator allowed me to post a "programming note and reminder" (quoted in a post above) on the current story on Marty's blog.

After the Investigation Discovery show tonight Karen Pouww issued a ridiculous statement. Several people have commented that it is David Miscavige's words that she is spouting. They have denied everything that they have ever been accused of and it is reminding me of the old "Bagdad Bob" who became a clown and a fool for all of his denials. If you don't remember Bagdad Bob here is a link to refresh your memory.

Miscavige and Pouww have now positioned themselves to have the credibility of Iraqi's Bagdad Bob and in Hubbard's terminology have dead agented themselves.

It's replaying now on ID here on the East Coast! I was at work when it first aired and barely saw some of it, so I'm glad I can watch the whole thing now. Also got one of my coworkers to DVR it (after we spoke about my experiences, and I showed her the first BBC documentary on youtube) and she's gonna watch it as well.

Great start to the year for Scientology! :happydance:

Also, it's crazy that I was JUST telling my coworker about how the Scientologists wanted me to forget about college and grad school, how Scientology is more important than the grad school entrance exam I was studying for, etc., and right at the beginning of the show, she says pretty much the same thing verbatim!

Interesting. The show has its own Twitter hashtag:

#DangerousPersuasions

This is in addition to #Scientology.

7:21 EST, just said on Good Morning America, "coming up, a stunning new book, inside the secrets of Scientology". This means it should be on in the next 30 minute section. By the way, LOVED both Nancy's book and the show. Great job! :thumbsup:

p.s. And of course they show the obligatory photo of the Cruiser with his medal of valor or whatever it was--------love how they tie him in all the time, hahahaha.

She kicked it out of the park, and having Chris (Her husband) as part of it was fantastic, too!

I LOVED the way it was put together---with the actors showing it, and Nancy, Chris and Paulette speaking their parts.

Also, the sets were SO real. Fantastic all the way around!

Thank you to ALL who helped on this. It will be helping others for a lonnnnnnnnng time to come.

My best to ALL :rose:
