I doubt Ashton and Mila apologized because they actually regret writing those letters; this is just damage control because they got caught defending a rapist. Also, Scientology isn't a religion, it's a criminal organization, and it ought to be treated as such.
I was disappointed to hear that Kurtwood Smith wrote a letter in support of Masterson too. I really liked him in RoboCop... but I guess there's a reason why he was so good at acting like a total bastard.
Cult vs Criminal Org. Both can be true.
Yeah the largest biological weapon attack on US soil was a cult.
One of my favorite Down The Rabbit Hole videos. Too bad it's not on Youtube anymore...
Sounds good! I learned about it from Wikipedia, which is a bit dry.
For those looking, the video is about Rajneeshpuram. But you can also find a well-done Netflix documentary on it.
Will look out for it!
Hasn't Ashton Kutcher essentially stopped acting and dedicated his life to fighting child predation?
Edit: I guess it's Moore and Kutcher. https://www.thorn.org/about-our-fight-against-sexual-exploitation-of-children/
Except when defending adult rapists I guess?
Not that I want to throw shade at his current work, but this is a pretty big red flag on his credibility towards siding with victims. ESPECIALLY since this is was in relation to defending a Scientologist, a known organzation for SA.
People can have multiple personalities, not as in a mental condition, but as in that you're a different person at work than who you are at your parent's. Rapist are also like that. Rapists aten't rapists 24/7. Sometimes they can be just nice people. That doesn't make it right, but that does make that you can't judge someone for not knowing that a coworker or even a friend was a rapist all this time.
I guess I should RTFA, but it's definitive he knew that Masterson was a scientologist, and knew about all the scientology stuff?
So you'd think he'd know better.
Well, if republican politicians and catholic priests are any guide, this means Kutcher and Moore are almost certainly prolific child abusers.
EDIT: oh FFS, their org is THORN?!? The same group of wine mommies trying to destroy the internet with that awful and mislabeled “kids online safety act”?
Fuck them AND their parent-pandering bullshit. Scientologists are nasty business.
Religion and criminal organizations don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Just look at the Catholic Church.
