This week, we are going to take you down a rabbit hole of epic proportions. Joining us, is ex-Scientologist and whistleblower, survivor, teacher, blogger, independent journalist and researcher, and survivor advocate, Scott Gordon! 

The cult of Scientology is a topic I’ve long been wanting to cover - especially amid the recent human trafficking allegations and missing person scandals involving Church of Scientology Leader, David Miscavage.

For those of you who have been following along, you’ve seen examples of cults hiding in obvious and non-obvious places. From NXIVM, to Stillpoint Zen Cult, to cults that hide in small towns, and cults within Masonic Lodges… cults are everywhere! And Scientology is no exception.

Scott’s story is absolutely riveting. He was trained in Scientology’s infamous intelligence bureau, the “OSA” aka the ‘Office of Special Affairs’ and became more of an ‘insider’ than most ground-level staff ever do. He has a blog called ‘Watchful Navigator” where he documents and whistle-blows his harrowing experiences in his years in the Church of Scientology and shares insider information on topics related to what he uncovered during and after his time in the Church of Scientology and since awakening to Scientology being a cult back in 2006.

This is an important topic and story because it shows how corruption can hide in plain sight and how if you mix enough truth and sprinkle in just enough lies, you can create a perfect great deception cocktail. It’s an important topic to be educated on because no one is exempt from being a potential victim - even you listening.

Not only does Scott carry the weight of his own story, but he’s also been helping to carry Christy Wood’s story as well - who is a David Miscavige and Scientology survivor. We’ll be covering that story as well on this podcast in a future episode. Scott is a hero in my eyes and I’m thrilled he is taking the time to be here with us to share his story and insider information.
