In this special crossover episode, we sit down with Aaron from @growingupinscientology to explore the fascinating (and sometimes shocking) parallels between Scientology and Mormonism. As former insiders from two very different high-demand religions, we compare our upbringings, teachings, authority structures, and how each religion handles questioning, doubt, and leaving the faith.This is Part 1 of our in-depth conversation—where we begin unpacking the similarities and differences between the groups we grew up in.Make sure you're subscribed so you don’t miss Part 2, where we dive even deeper into the mechanics of control and the personal cost of leaving.👇 Let us know in the comments if you grew up in either religion or have questions for future parts of this conversation!#Scientology #Mormonism #GrowingUpInScientology #ExMormon #CultTalk #HighDemandReligion #ReligiousTrauma #SamAndMelissa #AaronSmithLevinIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]
