I got a feeling he won't ever again. Chances are he and the media team are part of the church now adays. Speculation, but at the same time, they lie and cover up, like media today??? Food for thought there.
For that reason I doubt any active member would do another interview. Still would be worth it though, I'm not good enough with names to remember if any of the "inches wives" are now out but if they are it would be nice to hear from them.
The fact that they're not able to speak freely on their own behalf but have to deliver scripted responses to questions would, even if we didn't know anything else about scientology, be enough to know it's a cult. If you're a catholic and someone asks you about the behavior of priests, you don't have to worry about being excommunicated if you say it's sick.
I seen a documentary one time about the abuse of children in Scientology Both mental and physical abuse Also absolutely horrific conditions the kids are living in soiled mattress filthy accommodation These places should be stripped of religious title and closed down Very sad especially when small children
@@shspurs1342 can’t recall it was such a long time ago Unbelievably you tube deleted my original post answering your question??? What’s all that about But the one Louie Theroux did was quite interesting
This has aged well. I think it might actually play better now, as SO many, many more voices have spoken out from all over the world , and with MUCH more serious allegations. ..especially the kids.
@bridge1872 I'd love to see it updated as well, but preferably by someone that actually has some room to talk. I'm not saying that Anderson Cooper did bad on this particular reporting, but I am flat out saying that he has no room to talk, as a matter of court record. Anyway, I dropped a like on your comment. I think that update is needed.
Great time to bring this back up again, Aaron! Big fan of Anderson's work, so I remember seeing this at the time! I kind of understood as I I read a couple of books by then, but knowing some of these people through SPTV really helps with context.
Thanks for showing this Aaron! I don't think I had seen the whole thing before and watching it made me so sad. What a horrific life and how awful to be told over and over that you are lying. I really hope someone sees this and decides they want to revisit this story.
I will NEVER understand how this man, Rathbun, actually WENT BACK into this sinister CULT after getting out. They must have REALLY made his and his wife’s lives hell.
I think the consensus is not that he went back, it is that the cult offered to make the pain stop and to pay him off to shut up and start attacking others. So he's not in necessarily he just spouts gibberish so nothing he said can be taken seriously
I am just amazed that Miscavige isn't in prison for life by now. Who is protecting this psychopath? It's embarrassing that he is still free and could do this for decades.
“They were removed”? You mean THEY ESCAPED! Funny Tommy’s gone now just like the rest of them. The only one still hanging on is the attorney. Go figure. She’s probably making a lot of money from lil Davey
Tommy and Marty neither have any integrity. Tommy is so transparent when he defends the cult. I don't know why anyone thought he should be a mouthpiece for pr purposes. 😂And Marty is simply a coward who caved.
Good lord, the horrific body language of the Scientology defenders is amazing. Starkey looks, crazed and doesnt know what a normal facial expression looks like.
@@mage1439 LOL The whole thing is a train wreck, thi9er body language, what they say...and they wonder why Scientology is tied with the Church of Satan as far as the #1 most disliked "religion" in the US. The mere fact someone considered this, in any way, as a "win" for scientology shows how little in touch with reality they are.
It would be great to have a "Where are they now?" video for those of us who were not in Scientology or know the people in the video. I saw this Cooper piece when it aired. I'd watch anything on cults. Defenders of Scientology were never believable to me.
@@GrowingUpInScientology Mike Rinder and other guy who were witnesses and victims to these crimes. Just need to have a DA take it before a grand jury, probably past the statute of limitations by now. DA’s office might be protecting Scientology. Was definitely enough for an indictment.
@@GrowingUpInScientology I probably should have worded it differently. Some DA needs to get this information in front of a grand jury easily enough information for an indictment.
Thank you for sharing this again A-Aron. The lies are So obvious, and this definitely helped catapult the current free Scientologists from the Cult movement.
Him and new wife were going to adopt and scn caught video of rathbun hitting that child so blackmailed him and new wife to revoke their lawsuit or they’ll release that info. Gave them money too and new job as double agent.
Amazing how the wife's story sound so much alike. "I lived with him for xx years", "I knew every inch of his body" etc, etc. Sounds like they were all coached up before showing up on TV.....
Absolutely baffles me that these “former” members can lie so blatantly. Seal Team 6 needs to do a raid on “the hole.” Let’s see what these prisoners have to say.
Was this before Jenna's book came out? CNN should follow up and interview the current SPs. (So THAT'S Jenny Linson! Everytime someone mentions her name it's with disdain)
Ask where the elderly are,the old & sick. I've heard there not treated well & that's Abuse,and they deserve better. There's a few Ex Soc's who talk about what they saw,did,knew. Think that's still what they Earn. Lil Davey syndrome. Shame on Tax Exemption. Smh
There really aren’t good deeds. It’s a sham. For instance in a disaster area, they bring people in on a bus, do video and leave. The most they do is hand out COS pamphlets. Why are you using a person (Marty) who is back into COS. Catch up.
they do a lot of wierd things beyond what is advertised. They actually make people almost drown, get attacked by sea creatures, then deal with xeno technology to ,"save" you, then once you get better time for another level of difficulty. Wierd ass things beyond what most people would imagine though, hard to explain.
So sad that this just ends up as a 'he said, she said' in the end. I'll be honest, if I viewed this as someone who doesn't know what I know now, I think I'd just think it was 6 of 1 and half dozen of the other. Aaron, were you still in at the time? What did you make of it? Such a missed opportunity 😭💜
Notice all these 'wives' refer to 'Mr. Miscavige'. They all have the same talking points. Also seems Miscavige typically attacks men he sees as a threat to his power rather than women.
It's kind of funny how the ex-wives are all saying the same exact thing did no one catch on to that and they keep deflecting from the conversation. It's so sad
one of the technologies is that you swallow a type of small sea creature that lets you breathe underwater, then another tech is that you almost let yourself die but then you ingest a chemical made of seaweed and ground pearls and you survive. The next level could be dealing with alien mermaids that requires sone other kind of challenge.
They have all the same story its laughable wonder what they think now i watched this when it first came out its sad to watch even now So he thought Marty Rathburn should be thrown out but not him c mon

I notice that some of the wives are using the same phrasing in response to the questions
100%
Knowing what we know now about marriage in Scientology they sound brainwashed.
i knew every inch of him. ooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaaayyy
I would love for Anderson to do. Follow up and speak to the many members now out and on TH-cam to promote the cause❤❤❤ ~Stacy Toms
Riiiiiiiiiight?!
Its creepy how the women keep saying i know every inch of him. Ive been married for 25 years and I dont know every inch of him nor do i want to 😂
Abuse is not just at the top levels. Is anyone checking on the kids? No.

Oh the ex wives “we know every inch of their bodies” interview. Every time this resurfaces it sends shivers down my spine and makes me gag.
The former wives all sound like robots: "I know every inch of his body! I know him better than anyone else!" Really?? Not one of them sounds genuine.
At the time this was very well done. Scientology thought that they had all their big guns out. Anderson Cooper, it was not having it.
I live by Golden Era I only see maintenance workers. 🤫
I have nightmares about Tommy Davis & I’m a never in

Yeah he is a CIA stooge
If they truly believed it they wouldn’t stop. They might get the tax exemption away.
Anderson Cooper is CIA , his only interest is wondering if he can employ the same brainwashing tactics on the American people.
