CBS' 'Young Sheldon' Has Strongest Comedy Opening in Four Years
CBS' 'Young Sheldon' Has Strongest Comedy Opening in Four Years 09.26.2017 CBS' Young Sheldon, arguably the show most likely to succeed this season, came out of the gate with a big bang, debuting at a 3.7 rating among adults 18-49 and 16.6 million viewers. That's the most-watched premiere rating for a new comedy since 2 Broke Girls debuted in 2011 and the highest-rated since The Crazy Ones in 2013. That said, both of those shows have since been canceled, with 2 Broke Girls ending its run after last season and The Crazy Ones - which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar and the late, great Robin Williams as a daughter-father advertising team - failed to make it past season one. Young Sheldon debuted out of the show from which it's spun, The Big Bang Theory, and held almost all of its viewers. Big Bang, opening season 11, premiered at a 3.9 rating in the key demo and 17 million viewers. Young Sheldon was just teasing viewers with this early episode, however. It's not due to return until its official premiere on Nov. 2, after CBS completes its run of Thursday Night Football and the show can enter its regular time slot of Thursday at 8:30 p.m., behind The Big Bang Theory. Kevin Can Wait, starring Kevin James and featuring the arrival of Leah Remini among some viewer blowback, returned for season two at 9 p.m. with a 2.3 in the demo and 10.1 million viewers, while new sitcom Me Myself & I starring Bobby Moynihan and John Larroquette premiered at a 1.7 in the demo and 7.4 million viewers. -

Uncovering the Anti-Queer Sentiment in the Dianetic Perspective At present, there is a groundswell of public sensational interest in the subject of Scientology; and, in fact, in the time since I began this research paper, a nine-episode documentary series has premiered and reached finale on A&E titled “Scientology and the Aftermath”— a personal project hosted by sitcom celebrity, ex-Scientologist, and author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, Leah Remini.1 I could not begin to enumerate the myriad exposés/memoirs of ex-Scientologists that have been published in recent years nor could I emphasize enough the rampant conspiracy theories that are at the disposal of any curious mind on what many have termed “the cult” of Scientology. -

Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath
MEDIA RELEASE: Thursday, January 19, 2017 LEAH REMINI: SCIENTOLOGY AND THE AFTERMATH Australian premiere nine-part series Starts Wednesday, February 8 at 9.30pm AEDT Only on Foxtel’s crime + investigation network Click here for a sneak-peek An explosive new documentary series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, which explores the experiences of American actress/producer Leah Remini and other former members of the Church of Scientology, will premiere exclusively in Australia on Foxtel’s crime + investigation network on Wednesday, February 8 at 9.30pm AEDT. The astonishing 9 x 60 minute series, produced for A&E Network in the US and presented by Remini, finally gives a voice to long-standing victims of the Church of Scientology in America, despite public attempts by the Church to discredit them. Each episode features shocking stories of abuse, heartbreak and harassment from former members whose lives have been affected by the Church’s harmful practices, even well after they left the organisation. Throughout the series, Remini, along with high-level former Scientology executives and Church members, delve deeply in to individual accounts from ex-Church members and their families, through intimate interviews with Remini herself. Along with a team of former high-ranking Scientology insiders who understand the inner workings and policies of the organization, Remini gives the victims a chance to be heard, in this eye-opening series. In episode one, Leah begins her journey with a trip to Seattle to visit former Scientology executive Amy Scobee. After hearing Amy’s tragic story of being disconnected from her mother, Leah is determined to reveal the truth of what’s really going on in her former Church. -

Law Offices of GARY S. SOTER Ms. Nancy Dubuc January 2, 2017 Page 2 • On December 25, the Washington Post wrote: “In a statement released on Christmas Eve, an A&E spokesman said the network learned that the show’s producers - from a third-party production company - made cash payments to “facilitate access” to participants, which violates A&E policy... Though some reality TV producers do pay their subjects, the network emphasized that it is against this practice for documentaries.” (emphasis added) • On December 28, Variety wrote: “A&E declined to comment to Variety on whether participants in ‘Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath’ were paid - other than Remini, who is an executive producer on the docuseries. But, an insider close to the network tells Variety that even if participants were paid, financial payments would be common practice for participants in a television docuseries.” (emphasis added). Tellingly, A&E has declined to comment on whether anyone other than Ms. Remini is being paid. That silence speak volumes, raising questions if, like the KKK show, the sources in Ms. Remini’s series were paid. (Church officials have confirmed that Mike Rinder, the interview subject of the entire second segment and an interview subject in subsequent segments, was indeed paid.) Slauson Productions unambiguously described both Ms. Remini and Mr. Rinder as subjects for their series. In his letter of August 3, 2016, Alex Weresow declined to meet with Church representatives unless the meeting were to: “involve our key subjects, including but not limited to Leah Remini and Mike Rinder.” The same letter, describes Mike Rinder as a “victim, witness, or both.” Both are being paid for their participation. -

Scientology: CRIMINAL TIME TRACK ISSUE I by Mike Mcclaughry 1999
Scientology: CRIMINAL TIME TRACK ISSUE I by Mike McClaughry 1999 The following is a Time Track that I put together for myself and some friends at the time, in 1999. I originally used the pseudonym “Theta” at the request of Greg Barnes until he was ready to “go public” with his defection from Scientology. I also used the pseudonym “Theta 8-8008” around this same time period. Bernd Luebeck, Ex-Guardian’s Office Intelligence and then Ron’s Org staff ran the website www.freezone.org. In 1999, just after my time track was released privately, Bernd used it on his website as-is. He later expanded on my original time track with items of interest to himself. Prior to my doing this time track, Bernd, (nor anyone else involved with Scientology on the internet), had ever thought of the idea to do things this way in relation to Scientology. Mike McClaughry BEGIN An open letter to all Scientologists: Greetings and by way of introduction, I am a Class 8, OT 8, who has been in the Church for many decades and I am in good standing with the Church. I am a lover of LRH’s technology and that is my motivation in writing you and in doing what I am now doing. It came to my attention, sometime in the not too distant past, that the current top management of the Church, particularly David Miscavige, is off source. One of the ways he is off-source is that he has made the same mistake as the old Guardian’s Office staff made, engaging in criminal activities to solve problems. -

C2013-1082B MONIQUE RATHBUN IN THE DISTRICT COURT v. 207TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT DAVID MISCAVIGE, RELIGIOUS TECHNOLOGY CENTER, CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, STEVEN GREGORY SLOAT, AND MONTY DRAKE COMAL COUNTY, TEXAS AFFIDAVIT OF MARK RATHBUN "My name is Mark Rathbun. I am also known as Marty Rathbun. I am over the age of eighteen (18) years, of sound mind, and otherwise capable of making this affidavit. I have personal knowledge of the facts and statements contained herein, and all are true and correct." 1. "I served with Mr. Miscavige in Scientology's Sea Organization for 27 years. From 1982 to 2004, I answered directly to Mr. Miscavige. As Inspector General of Religious Technology Center ("RTC"), I was Mr. Miscavige's second in command. Mr. Miscavige and I were the only Scientologists ever awarded Scientology's "Medal of Honor" by its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. In the history of Scientology, no other Church executive worked with Mr. Miscavige more closely, for a longer period of time, than I did. 2. "The complex network of Scientology organizations is run by a shadow organization known as the Sea Organization, or Sea Org. It is so named because it was formed originally by Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard, in 1967 aboard a ship sailing the Mediterranean Sea. The Sea Org is a paramilitary hierarchy. Each Sea Org member holds a naval rank, from Swamper (initiate) to Commodore, the title held by L. Ron Hubbard during his life. Sea Org members vow by contract to serve for a billion years. The Sea Org was organized from the beginning by Hubbard to be amorphous and mobile so as to evade criminal or civil liabilities. -
