[VIDEO] The Scientology Experience: Robyn Capella (Part 2)

We pick up in this interview in 1990 when Robyn had just completed the Sea Org’s version of boot camp, called the Estates Project Force or EPF.

It is a usual case that instead of establishing a person and training them well and keeping them on a post while they get more new recruits into the Sea Org, the people in charge of personnel in the SO will transfer staff around from place to place to solve whatever emergency situation has hit the lines.

I flew down to Texas a few days ago and saw the new documentary about Scientology that is all over the media. It’s called Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, based on the book by Pullitzer-prize winning author Lawrence Wright. I also got to meet the director, Alex Gibney and Lawrence Wright at the movie screening.Read More »What is Scientology?
