Sorry for the poor audio quality!! We filmed this video at an ex-members home who has birds. It was also the middle of summer and we only had a fan to keep us cool. I hope you guys still enjoy our interview together!!
Steven Mango great video!!! It was awesome & insightful to have two people with different scientology backgrounds having a discussion. We got to see different aspects of the money hungry cult. Hopefully, you do more videos like this... though I still prefer the private solo vids the best.
Stevo, you've gone from being a good interviewee to becoming a better than average interviewer and in a very short period of time. Impressive stuff. Hang in there, dude! We're all with you.
What an excellent interview. People like Karen is the very reason why it's such a heart-wrenching experience getting out of Scientology - you meet these wonderful human beings that technically want to do good but because they are "applying Scientology," they end causing you harm in the process while believing they are helping you. So their intentions are good, but the methodology, as a whole, is destructive. And it's very confusing because you pick up positive intentions and affinity, but face destructive actions (especially psychologically). Unlike someone who is openly hostile, this is something that is rather hard to fight or even recognize... until you thoroughly understand how Scientology actually works in its numerous dimensions.
In all honesty, I was starting to think the fad/obsession with joining Scientology has faded, and that channels like yours or Leah’s show would soon be pointless. Then you told the story about the homeless girl paying for Scientology instead of an apartment and others laughing about it. It made me sick to my stomach how a “religion” can be so disgusting. Thank you Steve and Karen, your work is (still) so important
I'm buying two shirts guaranteed from the merch store. I happened to be near the scientology church and if any members approach me i would just say " sorry I'm a suppressive person" but now a shirt can do it for me!!!
+ever YES!!!! This was my idea behind creating the line. There are so many Scientologists in my area that I want to enturbulate them through my clothing 😜
Hi Steven, This particular interview is so very important. Scientology has preyed on creative, hungry artists to recruit them & make them a prisoner of the cult for financial enhancement Hope your honesty resonates other artists looking for help with their career not get pulled into this. Cruise & Travolta cannot be so blind not to see the truth. I was one of the nurses who cared for Jennifer Lopez when she had her twins & Leah was there all 5 days. She wasn't very Nic, reeked of cigarette smoke & really looked distracted. We got on the elevator & had the same coat on...she gave me a dirty look. Im happy U & Leah made it out OK
There’s this private school in Leon Guanajuato Mexico that uses L Ron Hubbard books as “extended learning classes”. I worked there for 5 months. Now looking back, I can see even how the administration was Scientology based. Some of my former coworkers post Scientology stuff after I had made a statement. I had said how weird I feel now about what was going on there in the past. Even how they “left me go” was so fishy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 DUDE. The Suppressive merch is fantastic!! You're hilarious and give the rest of us who crave the inside info all the dirt. Keep on. You're actually saving lives---which is more than Scientology could ever say.
Wow!! I've seen her speak before, she's great, and a very valuable source of info. (And I'm probably going to buy her book.) What a tremendous interview coup to get her to speak to you on your channel!
Hi Steven- Idea for a t-shirt.. Put a scientology symbol inside a pentagram or something and text "Hail Thetan" (instead of Satan), get it? 😂 Too much? Love your videos, btw. Longtime viewer, first time commenter. So happy you are out of that toxic place. X
Any chance you can interview Marc Headley and ask him about the sniper gun tower above gold base, and also ask him about Barrett Oliver and if he's left, why he hasn't spoke out?
From watching your videos it seems to me that you would make a good actor, Steven. I know it's a hard business to get into, but I'm convinced that you'll make it.
This is awesome! I'm so glad you are doing this. Kudos! Love that Scientology is supporting you with their hateful ads. sorry, Co$ we see through your hate ads!
Steven!! First, you and other survivors of CoS saved me from joining scientology so thank you for what you are doing ❤So glad you've launched that merch! I'll totally be picking up a couple. Love that squirrel busters shirt😂 Edit: I just wanted to give feedback on the video itself, this one is fantastic, do you plan on featuring more guests in the future?
PB Babe same!!! A scientology church was just built roughly 2 yrs ago in my area. Of course the few members have been trying to recruit new members like crazy & as we all know will go to any length to pull them in. I’ve been approached numerous times about joining, about 8 times in a 6wk period. I even thought about joining just so they’d leave me alone. Before joining anything I research it... especially one that wanted $5000.00 up front (of course I’d supposedly get that back over a course of 5 years...aka, used to pay for courses). Anyways, I found the 20/20 video about Leah Remmy (sorry about spelling her name wrong), that actually led me to this channel. So happy I was able to avoid their money hungry clutches.
Btw, my area is a small farm town in WV, about 45 minuets from Morgantown. They definitely aren’t getting many new members, but their church is pretty extravagant.
Hi steven This interview is awesome. I just happened to came across a video the other day with karens x. Dont know anything about either on. But all these people where being sooo derogatory about her. And so was he. Don't know if you have seen it but its just more proof how awfull Scientology is.
Robert Flint you should watch the path on Hulu. It has Aaron Paul who played Jesse in breaking bad in it. Its about a cult and its so much like scientology. They talk about moving up the rungs and the different levels people are. Auditing sessions. Its so crazy. Also if you leave you can never see your family again. Their religion on the show is called meyerism. Its a great show that gives you a glimpse inside what it must be like.
The truth is that careers are ruined by joining the Sea. Org. Alexandra Powers is a prime example. She had a distinct look and to this day, I still recall the work she did in an episode of Brimstone (Carriers). She was talked into joining the Sea Org, and despite having been in The Dead Poets Society, her career stopped. Take that money and put it into training at the Actor's Studio or a good four year university with a drama department. You will have more fun and learn tips associated with the trade.
Steven why aren’t you part of our Supporters Of Leah Remini and the Aftermath? I’m sad to not see you there. Aaron Smith Levin runs it and it’s so helpful and informative! Join!
The suppressive merch is awesome,do I look brainwashed?? Lol I lived in LA and I did do a personality test once and it was ridiculous,and they were trying to sell me their books and I was like excuse me,I laughed at them,and I remember when battlefield earth was coming out and a "member"approached me and asked if I wanted to see a movie called Battlefield earth and I said what's it about and they said Lrh and I was like No!
"No one knows how to audit." - evidently David Miscavige has been exempt from being checked against SP characteristics. Not to say that those characteristics are necessarily valid, but DM generalizes a LOT!
very good production , their akeles heel is " the E meter " destroy the validity of that " religious " device ( technology ) and there is no audits , know way to intimidate with technology , check , mate .
Have you seen her ex husbands video. He said she spent all of his royalties doing up the marital home. Sorry if you are husband and wife what’s yours is his and what’s his is yours yours hence when people get divorced they have to split the proceeds up. I don’t know about the states but here in the UK what’s yours is not yours but your spouses also.
Wait so she’s still upholding Scientology’s “vow” to not discuss people’s cases? Uhm. So she still has some sort of respect for the organization it seems, if she didn’t that vow wouldn’t mean a damn thing.
If she was counseling a person who told her a dark secret, and vowed not to tell... that has nothing to do with Scientology, as far as I am concerned. She is respecting the privacy of others.
Actually, I think it is, just when she was a lot younger. I don't know how old you are, but when you are well up in your fifties (plus), you don't look the same as you did when you were thirty (of course, there are exceptions).
Just a note, if you are still interested in acting, be aware of words with an str string. You add an h. This is common in Americans under 40. Strategy becomes sHtrategy, strange becomes sHtrange. I'm enjoying your videos and I'm sorry you were waylaid by CO$.

Steven Mango oh, just a heads up Scientology churches seem to be moving into smaller towns. I guess they really are desperate.
Loved hearing the little birdies occasionally in the background.
Maybe subtitles if you have the time? or not, whichever is fine :)
Karen is just the greatest lady can’t wait to read her book.
Stevo, you've gone from being a good interviewee to becoming a better than average interviewer and in a very short period of time. Impressive stuff. Hang in there, dude! We're all with you.
I definitely want Karen back!!!

Wonderful Interview! Steven and Karen, Thanks for sharing the truth with the world!
......THE TRUTH WILL SET THEM FREE!!.........

+ever YES!!!! This was my idea behind creating the line. There are so many Scientologists in my area that I want to enturbulate them through my clothing 😜
All you ex scientologist should get together and make a movie

I love your merchandise and am so proud of you for being strong, smart and transparent regarding your trauma. Thank you!
This was awesome. I would be so interested to see more about Karen's story
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 DUDE. The Suppressive merch is fantastic!! You're hilarious and give the rest of us who crave the inside info all the dirt. Keep on. You're actually saving lives---which is more than Scientology could ever say.

+IgnatzKolisch Her book is amazing! Use the link in the video bio to purchase 🙂
More Karen! Love her.
I really enjoyed the interview. You definitely have some skills here. I'd love to hear more from Karen and see more interviews on your channel.
Love the picture of the bridge lol
Hi Steven- Idea for a t-shirt.. Put a scientology symbol inside a pentagram or something and text "Hail Thetan" (instead of Satan), get it? 😂 Too much?
Love your videos, btw. Longtime viewer, first time commenter. So happy you are out of that toxic place. X
Meg McGuiness that is definitely one I would buy & wear
It's also a sure-fire route to ending up on the wrong end of a spurious lawsuit, unfortunately...
a pentagram is not a satanic symbol.
Or hang the Scientology cross upside down
Great idea!!
I’d love to see more of this
Thanks for posting. Sound was okay, content made up for it!
Any chance you can interview Marc Headley and ask him about the sniper gun tower above gold base, and also ask him about Barrett Oliver and if he's left, why he hasn't spoke out?
I enjoyed this video!
Great interview

Bought a Suppressive Person t shirt, love it
+Lisa Mieth 😘 Yay! Please tag me in a photo wearing the shirt when you get it ❤️
Hi Steve and Karen! Great interview. Loved Karen’s book! Lol at the fan Karen (inside joke). Best wishes!
I feel a bit stupid saying this but I feel so proud of you sometimes, lol!
+Frank Liebel Thank you Frank 🤗
Steven!! First, you and other survivors of CoS saved me from joining scientology so thank you for what you are doing ❤So glad you've launched that merch! I'll totally be picking up a couple. Love that squirrel busters shirt😂

Please get together again !
Why didn't you put up a picture of Cher? that made me laugh lol
Good job...love the interview-you are good ar it, you should so more!
Hi steven This interview is awesome. I just happened to came across a video the other day with karens x. Dont know anything about either on. But all these people where being sooo derogatory about her. And so was he. Don't know if you have seen it but its just more proof how awfull Scientology is.
Awesome video, plz make more with Karen.
I thought I would be first to comment but Baja Rosie beat me to it..... Love your videos..... Thank you Steven!!
Mangotology? I absolutely love it!!! You are awesome, do you still work as a hair stylist part time or do this as a full time career now?
Makes me wonder. Travolta and Cruise seen normal. I think. so What do they do behind the curtain
Nico Strasso they are creepy AF
Tom is not a normal human being.
Is that Cinderella going over the Bridge to Total Freedom in the background there? (Scientology's 'bridge' is actually a ladder).
Robert Flint you should watch the path on Hulu. It has Aaron Paul who played Jesse in breaking bad in it. Its about a cult and its so much like scientology.

I may do this Rick. Thanks for replying...
@@picklerick7378 I loved that show! So disappointed it got canceled. Still worth seeing. Very well done!
A Ford Escape? You should have used the PINTO as a reference!
All hail XENU!
LOVE GOD LOVE PEOPLE

thanks Steven....great interview...looking forward to more video with you and karen...just a heads up...voices were not in sync
That’s beautiful!

17:54 already 4 of the same ads from Scientology... how desperate & pathetic are these psychos.?.?.?
Cheshire- Smile psychos!
The suppressive merch is awesome,do I look brainwashed?? Lol I lived in LA and I did do a personality test once and it was ridiculous,and they were trying to sell me their books and I was like excuse me,I laughed at them,and I remember when battlefield earth was coming out and a "member"approached me and asked if I wanted to see a movie called Battlefield earth and I said what's it about and they said Lrh and I was like No!
Just checking if you ship your SP shirts to France ? Thankyou x
Have you covered the death of the Travolta child? Since most children are in a different area of the camp than the parents, Did they really grieve?
"No one knows how to audit." - evidently David Miscavige has been exempt from being checked against SP characteristics. Not to say that those characteristics are necessarily valid, but DM generalizes a LOT!
Dallas has a celebrity center?
Is that a Kinkade painting behind you? Lol
Hot in the room ? Lol fan b blowing lmao 😂
I don't understand why she'd go back for 5 years. Time is something you don't get back.
very good production , their akeles heel is " the E meter " destroy the validity of that " religious " device ( technology ) and there is no audits , know way to intimidate with technology , check , mate .
But all these celebs (expect Leah Remini) were famous before Scientology so I’m like how do you link the two, when they’re clearly not?
I made up a new shirt for you. Stay away from the SCI-FI PEOPLE
Have you seen her ex husbands video. He said she spent all of his royalties doing up the marital home. Sorry if you are husband and wife what’s yours is his and what’s his is yours yours hence when people get divorced they have to split the proceeds up. I don’t know about the states but here in the UK what’s yours is not yours but your spouses also.

If she was counseling a person who told her a dark secret, and vowed not to tell... that has nothing to do with Scientology, as far as I am concerned. She is respecting the privacy of others.
She didn't mention anyone by name. She used vague terminology for that very reason.
Mangotology love it, lol
Lol she’s def not the woman on the cover
Actually, I think it is, just when she was a lot younger. I don't know how old you are, but when you are well up in your fifties (plus), you don't look the same as you did when you were thirty (of course, there are exceptions).
Just a note, if you are still interested in acting, be aware of words with an str string. You add an h. This is common in Americans under 40. Strategy becomes sHtrategy, strange becomes sHtrange.
I'm enjoying your videos and I'm sorry you were waylaid by CO$.
Even tho you don’t like Marty you shouldn’t sell the shirt the sci-fi people were using to target him
Hair raising stuff
I'm trying to really pay attention to what you both are saying, but her hair is driving me insane, lol.
I wish you had given more time for your quest to talk
