The weekly show where I answer viewer questions left for me in the comments sections of my Q&A videos or sent to me by email to AskChrisShelton@gmail.com. This week, the questions I answer are:
(1) Recently you posted a video about the effect(s) of Anonymous’ 2008 protest of the Church of Scientology. In that video you mentioned that if it weren’t for the work of Anonymous that you would have never been able to make it as far as you have in exposing the ills of Scientology. Would you please explain this a little more in depth please? What would have happened to you had you started speaking out if there had been no Anonymous? What do you think that you would be doing now? Do you think that the Anonymous protests can be seen as the tipping point in Scientology’s death spiral?
(2) You say that Scientologists believe that you control what happens to you, or that you “pulled it in,” but Scientology blames its bad reputation on Big Pharma, evil psychs and SPs. Does David Miscavige pull these groups in because of what HE did in a prior life?
(3) What are the “grease pits” and what is a “Category B EPF Program”?
(4) Scientology is trying to open up a new Narconon centre in Ireland. There has been a lot of Scientology activity in Ireland recently. I heard more about it on the radio today and basically, the whole country is outraged! Would Scientology think they have a chance here? I know for a fact they do not, people of all ages are aware of them, but it sure seems they are pushing to open more buildings in my home country. Do you think I should be concerned? I am definitely not the only one!
(5) One of the big gripes I always had when I was in Scientology was that they could never be in a lower condition towards you no matter how deserving of that lower condition they were. Is there policy on this? What do you think it would look like if the church actually attempted to do the lower conditions towards the public? Do think it could actually garner them some good PR?
(6) Hi Chris! Love your channel. When a person completes OT 8 what do they do next? Wonder “I spent all my money for this?!” Help others reach OT 8?
(7) In The Joe Rogan Experience #908, Leah Remini said she went to the Internet to look for the OT materials before she did OT3 and didn’t know what to make of it. Doesn’t that bar her from doing any OT level afterwards? From what I have seen researching confidential material, especially from outside sources, disqualifies a person from the upper levels. How was she able to continue? Do donations have something to do with it? Also, don’t PC’s sign something saying they’re not allowed to tell others what the OT levels are about or they have to pay certain amount of money for everyone they told? Is this only enforced if they are in the Church or can they be sued if they break that agreement? If this is so, why Remini hasn’t been sued for talking about confidential material (like BT’s)?
(8) What is a Scientologist supposed to do if they hear anything about a higher OT level than the one they are on? Did you hear anything about a higher level when you were in?
