"I was in a cult for thirty-four years. Everyone else could see it. I don't know why I couldn't."                                    —Paul Haggis

Paul Haggis, Oscar-winning writer and also the director of Crash, recently—and loudly—left Scientology after more than three decades spent (accent on the word "spent") in its clutches. His account to The New Yorker is mesmerizing. The article delves deeply into the structure of the organization, bringing up credible accusations of human trafficking and confirming that the Church has lied about L. Ron Hubbard's military service. Of that service, Church spokesdude Tommy Davis (Anne Archer's son) says that if Hubbard's injuries were faked, then that would mean that:

"...the injuries that he handled by the use of Dianetics procedures were never handled, because they were injuries that never existed; therefore, Dianetics is based on a lie; therefore, Scientology is based on a lie. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Hubbard was a war hero."

It's a bombshell exposé and fascinating read.
