How Did Leah Remini Departure From The Church Of Miller's Ethics?

When she was just nine years of age, future King of Queens star Leah Remini became a member of the Church of Scientology, a pseudo-religious organization which claims to guide its members towards spiritual clarity by ridding them of their “engrams” (negative emotions and repressed memories of past traumas).

Over the next couple of decades, Remini would become a public advocate for the church, using her status as a beloved celebrity to bring in new members and raise support for its embattled leader, David Miscavige.

In 2013, however, Leah Remini announced her departure from the Church of Scientology, citing her increasing frustrations with the morally questionable practices of the religion’s leaders.

According to Remini, her friend was the victim of statutory rape at the hands of an older member of the church, but officials refused to allow her to go to the police and instead attempted to handle the situation through in-house mediation.

Family Values (Or Lack Thereof) -

Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and pretty much every other major world religion all put a great deal of importance on the role of the family in the development of its members. In Scientology, however, the family is treated as something of an obstacle on the way to total spiritual clarity.

Because Scientology teaches that human beings must go through a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth before finally entering into the next world, mothers and fathers are treated as temporary players in a soul’s existence.

Prohibiting parents from developing close relationships with their children in this manner is key to the continued growth of the Church of Scientology as mothers and fathers become far more willing to allow, and even actively encourage, their offspring to sign that aforementioned one billion year contract with the Sea Org.

The “Death” of L. Ron Hubbard
When speaking about the church’s handling of its founder’s passing, Remini described the belief that Hubbard had voluntarily left his body as “bullshit” before declaring “L. Ron Hubbard died of a stroke”.

The Return -

According to Leah Remini, not only does the Church of Scientology teach that L. Ron Hubbard voluntarily left his body to go on some sort of wacky celestial voyage, but the organization also promises its followers that their leader will one day return from his trip around the stars and resume his role as their overlord.

While it may seem like an outlandish claim to you and I, followers of the religion are steadfast in their belief that L. Ron Hubbard will be resurrected (for lack of a better term), so much so that they maintain two fully furnished mansions in California for him to live in upon his return. Each mansion is stocked and restocked with the finest, freshest foods while a full team of gardeners and maids work to ensure nothing falls out of
