  • Elisabeth Moss has spoken up about a subject on which she normally keeps quiet: her religion. On Tuesday, the “Handmaid’s Tale” star addressed a fan’s question about Scientology via her Instagram account. One Instagram userposed an interesting question comparing Scientology to the dictatorship in Handmaid's Tale. Moss offered the following response: “That’s actually not true at all about Scientology. Religious freedom and tolerance and understanding the truth and equal rights for every race, religion and creed are extremely important to me."

    How ironic! She plays a character that suffers in an abusive cult system and is being owned by one at the same time.

      thats why she is so "yeah i had to do with scientology and it helped me yeah yeah but noooo i dont deal with them anymore". she needs to serve both her masters, the cult and the SJW hollywood machine. thats why she is always so nice and pleasant without being too loud about anything. besides whatever way, if she spoke too much about the cult, theyd ruin her career anyhow. so.

      It's hilarious because the first time watching MadMen i kept having this deep, utterly disgusting feeling everytime Peggy was on screen.. I could literally tell something was extremely off about who she was IRL. Further watching the show and I almost ALWAYS have to skip her scenes because something clicked. She's an actress. Her face is completely fake. What she says in interviews is all brainwashing. She is literally involved with such horrible people that seeing her on screen before knowing she was a scientologist gave me a very, very, very distinct signal that she is up to no good and probably giving personal favors to the directors and producers. She probably has been with thousands and thousands of men.

  • @katiestolealltheunicorns9309

    It is so disappointing that she is caught up in that abusive cult. I hope she can get out when she needs to.

      You didn't hear anything what was said, did you? "Religious freedom and tolerance and understanding the truth and equal rights for every race, religion and creed are extremely important to me." Attend to the words religious freedom and tolerance.

      Some people don't understand what "Religious freedom" means.
      It just means that the government cannot discriminate against people for their beliefs, nor can they pass laws which favor one sect over another. This is wise since religious ideas aren't generally based on objective facts (if they were, they would be 'facts', not 'beliefs'), and as such, there is no way for the state to choose between these competing beliefs in an objective way. This why religious freedom provisions were enacted in the first place -- to keep the ruling sect from forcing their unsubstantiated beliefs on others.
      But none of this means that religious ideas should be protected from criticism in the public sphere. Quite the opposite, in fact. What you are espousing is actually akin to the old blasphemy laws -- an attempt to protect objectively false beliefs from any sort of criticism. Objectively false beliefs don't stand up very well to scrutiny and require this sort of protection from criticism in order to survive.
      This is why (for example) it is OK to tell a creationist that his belief that the world in 10,000 years old is wrong (because objectively, it is), but it is NOT ok to deny a creationist employment because they are creationists (because that would be discrimination). You seem to be conflating these two things, but they are entirely different. The 1st is criticism of an idea (precisely the sort of speech that is protected by the 1s amendment), whereas the 2nd is just religious discrimination against a person (Which in the US, violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964).
      Do you see the difference?

Además todos los miembros están amenazados ya que la secta tiene mucha información de cada uno. Quienes se salen corren peligro en muchos sentidos.

    It’s important to keep in mind that Elisabeth was born into Scientology she didn’t convert or choose it. She was raised with it & being famous doesn’t mean she wouldn’t still be declared an SP & potentially lose her family. It’s sad that a woman who’s such a gifted actress would turn a blind eye to church abuse & fraud (that’s putting it lightly) but we have to keep in mind that she may simply be “physically in, mentally out” in other words only staying to maintain her family ties. At least she’s not one of these celebs like Tom, Kirstie or John who raves about it. It seems like the younger the celeb, the less they talk about Scientology. It’s a dying belief system & Organization anyways that’s being run into the ground. Hopefully she’ll get out of it one day sooner rather than later. 😉

      Ya! Came here to comment this exactly, and I agree with you. It’s well known what Scientology leaders say and do to members who publicly denounce them. People either don’t know or forget she was RAISED in it. I think it’s easy to say what we would do in that situation, I know what I’d *like to think* I’d do. She’s also hinted at disagreeing with many of their stances and she chooses her words very carefully. Tbh the way she’s been able to navigate both worlds is incredibly smart.

      @@Whole-Milk Exactly. Leah Remini for example is the exception, not the rule. She left and was lucky to keep her husband (who could take or leave Scientology), her daughter (who she never indoctrinated), her mother, stepfather, sister & brother-in-law. Her mom & stepdad lost their whole circle of friends. Her brother-in-law’s whole family disconnected from him because he refused to divorce his wife (who refused to disconnect from her sister). Leah still lost all of her Scientology friends (the majority of her friends). One of the saddest things I’ve heard was an interview with Leah’s mom (who I believe is in her 70’s) who said in an interview (in near tears), “I still dream about my friends. I’ll wake up & want to call them but then I remember that if I did, they wouldn’t pick up the phone. I miss them.” 💔 In Leah’s book she comments about how at her 40th birthday party she had all her friends write her a letter (just letters talking about their friendship etc) & she realized later on that all 35 friends who wrote her letters had disconnected from her. Heartbreaking. I can’t recommend her book enough. I especially love the audio version read by her, “Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood & Scientology”. It’s one of those good books that can make you laugh & cry. *So good!*
