"The Church of Fear: Inside the Weird World of Scientology" a review

[LadyJane]

Yup, they are definitely the church of fear, more-so than any other major religious cult.

The auditing you mentioned, the machine they use is called an e-meter. It is basically a lie detector. They strap it on and when they sense you are nervous or not telling the truth they pressure you into confession. It is an interrogation and not even a legal one, not the kind the police use in the little rooms at the detective office. They aren't bound by law.

My dad has been free from scientology for over 35 years and has moved across the (big) country. He has owned different homes and still a couple months ago mom received a scientology pamphlet in the mail addressed to him. They never. stop. haunting.
