In this episode, I interview Sam Madrid, a former Dianetics auditor for the Church of Scientology. Sam gives us insight into the beliefs and practices of this very young religion. He shares the process of how people are typically drawn into Scientology, and how he, as a former member, got out of it. He also teases us with a similar practice that is going on in thousands of Christian Churches today, which he will discuss in greater depth when he returns next month for the second episode in this two-part series.

I listened to all of this. It was my favorite EZ podcast yet. Very interesting. It sounds like Scientology is less “Spiritual” and more practical at the lower levels. This is a good way to hook people who are skeptical of the supernaturality in the Bible.

My name is Szalapski! Heh. Spelling was wrong.

By the way, you have “Understand the Tmes” on the right. It isn’t spelled right either.

Thanks Patrick! I’m glad you liked it.
“Understand the Times” is right. It’s Roger Oakland’s Ministry. I bet you’re thinking I meant “Understanding the Times” which is the radio show of “Olive Tree Ministries”, also on the right
