The cult of Scientology has announced that they are opening their own television channel today. In a tweet from the ScientologyTV account, the group claims, “It’s time for us to tell our story” on “DIRECTV, AppleTV, Roku, fireTV, & Chromecast.” Most likely this public outreach is being done to try and recover Scientology’s reputation after Leah Remini’s A&E docuseries “Scientology and the Aftermath” and Alex Gibney’s Emmy-winning documentary, “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief.”
Scientology was built by a deluded individual named L. Ron Hubbard who believed that his organization would create a utopian society, “A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology.” On “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” Season 2 episode 12, “Propaganda Arms,” we get a full perspective of exactly how the church of Scientology uses carefully crafted propaganda to attract new members and squeeze more money out of their existing members.
