Imagine walking in the shoes of a child born and bred in the cloistered world of Scientology. This is the fascinating journey we explore with our friend, Dylan Gill, who spent seven years in the Church's Sea Organization and encountered the enigmatic figure, Shelly Miscavige. Dylan's early life was marked by rigorous Scientology courses, door-to-door selling of Dianetics books, and an environment that bred fear and paranoia. The tales he shares with us are a remarkable insight into a world few of us can truly comprehend.

As we delve deeper, Dylan recounts the solemn atmosphere surrounding LRH's death and the emotional repression that ensued. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look into the intricate dynamics of the Church, the systems it employed to identify effective members and the subsequent transformation it underwent after LRH's demise. Shifting locale from Florida to Los Angeles, Dylan elucidates his time working for the Church of Spiritual Technology's (CST) LRH Archives project, a monumental endeavor to collect every piece of handwritten correspondence, tape recording, and original document from LRH.

The narrative's intensity amplifies as Dylan and his wife Bronwyn are dispatched to Happy Valley for hard labor and security checks, leading them into a life of seclusion and segregation. Dylan's candor is on full display as he relays his distressing experiences at the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), where he was treated more like a guilty prisoner than an active member of the Church. Despite engulfing fear and terror, Dylan found the courage to escape and start anew, his story serving as an inspiration to all. Come join us on this insightful journey into the heart of a fiercely debated religion, through the eyes of one who lived to tell the tale.
