Well, realistically speaking, I doubt that its gonna break it up and how it was mentioned how the Sciencetologists had hired investigators to ruin her life kinda reminded of what Weinstein did in a similar effort to silence his victims -- he hired an Israeli, dickchopper, corporate security firm to spread shit about them. You must also take into account that this country`s Judeo-Christian morality keeps these cults protected. What is called "freedom of religion" are basically laws that protect the "right" of religious institutions and individuals to oppress others and f**k other people over, and that very saying of freedom of religion is a contradiction because religion is and has ALWAYS been a liberticidal concept and people that are "religious" are irrational, liberticidal and mentally inferior.

What`s completetly ridiculous is the name of that term for the reason that religion has always been a liberticidal concept and religious people are against freedom and against liberty.....they just wanna impose their morality on everyone else`s life and thats` mainly because they are selfless and have no individuality or life.

GO LEAH!! You are a hero to all of the victims of Scientology! It's time for this dangerous cult to be held accountable for it's criminal conduct, abuses, human rights violations, stalking, harassment, defamation and covering up for crimes against it's members and non-members. Enough is enough!! This is not a church! No God or whatever people worship would want it's church members to act this way or treat others this way. Only cults keep people isolated, separate and destroy families and stalk and harass you if you try to leave. David Miscavige is evil! He's brave abusing his members but is really an insecure, narcissistic coward. He evaded subpoenas in a current case 37 times or so. Another one he evaded it at least 6 times so they gave it to another person at his office. He knows if he gets in a courtroom, he's going down. He'll do the same evading with Leah's subpoenas too...just watch and see! I pray Leah wins the entire lawsuit! She's a brave advocate for the victims! Its time for the FBI ,Congress or someone to take away their tax exempt status. They are falsely hiding behind the protection of these laws.
