Honk if Scientology is a cult!
Hi, I’m Liz Gale. You may have seen me protesting Scientology recently. Let me take a second to introduce myself and explain why I am standing out on the street corner waving a sign around, livestreaming to the world.
Born into Scientology
My grandmother got my family into Scientology in the 1950’s (yes, Scientology has been around for seventy years!), and it’s been a wild ride ever since.
Though my family was considered “The Perfect Scientology Family“, our story is bittersweet and we have suffered greatly.
Why I protest Scientology
Many young adults born and raised in Scientology did not make it out alive due to suicide, tragedy or neglect.
How do I know this? I lost a bother (RIP Philip Gale).
The Receipt: Children that Scientology failed – a list of over 200 children born and raised in Scientology who have spoken out against the cult, or didn’t make it out alive – was created in his honor.
Scientology Lawsuits:
Scientology has a history of suing defectors, but recently the tides have turned and Scientology is in the hot seat. Here are several lawsuits active (complaints are alleged) and settled in the past.
- 2019 Racketeering, sexual abuse cover up, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wiretapping, fraud, invasion of privacy, loss of consortium (civil suit):
- 2022 Human trafficking, forced child labor, peonage, child abuse:
- 2022 Forced child marriage, sexual abuse, sexual assault, imprisonment:
- 2023 Civil harassment, stalking, intentional infliction of emotional distress, tortious interference, defamation and “sophisticated, well-funded and brutal operations”
- 2009 Force abortion, unpaid wages, discrimination and invasion of privacy, human trafficking, intentional inflicting of emotional distress, obstruction of justice
- 2024

Aside from my own memoir, Confessions of an Ex-Scientologist Pothead: Born in. Sparked up. Got out (by me, Liz Gale), there are several other first-hand accounts of Scientology childhoods spanning seven decades.
If you’re a reader, I have a few other highly recommended books that will give you a broader picture of Scientology’s players, lore and criminal past.
