Ep 3. The 'Perfect' Scientology Family

Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath season 2 episode 3 titled The 'Perfect' Scientology Family follows the story of the Headleys, a family who has been active in the Church of Scientology for around three decades. The Headleys had devoted their entire life to the organization, believing that it would help them achieve the ultimate spiritual enlightenment. They had even signed a billion-year contract to work for Scientology.

However, things turned sour when the Headleys discovered that the Church of Scientology was not what it appeared to be. They started experiencing physical and emotional abuse from the higher authorities, including head of the church David Miscavige. The Headleys were made to work under harsh conditions and subjected to extreme punishment if they failed to comply with the church's rules.

The Headleys decided to leave Scientology, but leaving was not an easy task. They faced tremendous challenges and harassment from the church and its members. The Church of Scientology has a fair game policy where anyone who speaks out against the church or leaves it is deemed an enemy of the church. This policy allows the church to harass and intimidate the people who speak out against it.

The Headleys filed a lawsuit against the church. They wanted to expose the hidden practices and abuses that they suffered during their tenure in the Church of Scientology. After many years of struggle, the court finally agreed to hear their case. They became the first ones to file a lawsuit that exposed the exploitative practices and abuses that the church was hiding.

The episode also features interviews with several former members of the Church of Scientology. These individuals had also suffered emotional and physical abuse at the hands of the church and its leaders. They reveal how the church forced them to cut ties with their families and friends who did not follow Scientology. They were also made to work for over 100 hours a week without any compensation.

Despite facing harassment and intimidation, the Headleys and other former members of the church refused to back down. They wanted to expose the real face of the Church of Scientology and the abuses that occur within its walls. They debunk the myth of the 'Perfect' Scientology family and reveal the harsh reality that lies behind the facade.

Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath season 2 episode 3 is a must-watch for anyone who wants to learn more about the Church of Scientology and the abuses that occur within its walls. It is a brave and shocking exposé of the church's practices that provides a voice to the victims who have suffered at the hands of this organization.
