love seeing tiktoks of people discouraging others from taking the "personality test" right at the front door. wish there was more but it really comes back to them having religious rights . do they make money off of their tax exemption? do they say audit money is donated? love the show🥰 glad Rosemary has time for family and hobbies.
I just have to hope the mother would say all that to have scientology so worried about it self it would stop masterson immediately..the choice of scientology over family shows how manipulated their minds are. I can't imagine as a mother trying to take action on a crime and not calling for help. she went to the highest and plead with him in a language he would respond to. I don't think she thought he'd see her as a threat even with mentioning how Masterson could be a harm to scientology.
yes you're both back!! so excited!!
