Growing Up In Polygamy

The Cost of Leaving Scientology | Our Reaction to Mike Rinder’s Story in Aftermath S1 Ep2

24 min • 30 juli 2025

In this video, we react to Season 1, Episode 2 of Scientology and the Aftermath, which dives deep into the emotional and psychological toll that comes with leaving the Church of Scientology—specifically through the powerful story of Mike Rinder.


Once a top executive within Scientology, Mike left the church and has since been labeled a “suppressive person.” We discuss how the church’s disconnection policy tore his family apart, how surveillance and harassment became part of his new reality, and how these tactics echo similar experiences in other high-control religions we've witnessed or lived through ourselves.
