Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the polished surface of the Church of Scientology? Join us as we journey into the heart of this infamous organization with our guest, Mike Brown, a former Sea Org member. He shares the chilling account of his mother, Rosemary Chicwak’s experiences, painting a picture of gross abuse, manipulation, and exploitation. From physical mistreatment to financial pillaging, Rosemary's tale is a shocking revelation of the Church's dark underbelly.

As we navigate through Rosemary's ordeal, Mike also sheds light on his personal battles within, and ultimate escape from, the Church. His perseverance in reaching out to his family, finding peace with the Church, and impacting Rosemary's life positively is a testament to his resilience. But the conversation doesn’t stop there; we take a deep dive into The Aftermath Foundation's pivotal role in supporting victims of the Church's abuses, like Rosemary, and its efforts in fostering change.

The final part of our discussion uncovers the Church's financial malpractices and coercive tactics. Mike's narrative of how Rosemary was locked in a room and forced to donate her savings is a shocking example of how the Church exploited its elderly members. Our exploration of the Church of Scientology's systemic abuse is both raw and powerful, and Mike's journey through the darkness offers a beacon of hope for others. Tune in for this intense voyage through abuse, rescue, and hope.
