Stalin is to Lex as grizzly bears are to Rogan

This Cult should be paying taxes.

So this is why Tom Cruise didn't want to be in the MCU because Thanos was basically Xenu

I guess I agree with L Ron Hubbard on one thing, I hate the IRS as well.

What a goofy cult

Couldn’t Scientology utilize ChatGPT to put together course material?

Not going to lie. This is going to make one sick game

A religion created by a science fiction writer? Red flag! Hello! Is there anyone home?

Scientology sounds like what it was first intended to be. A sci-fi novel with a garbage plot.

This guy has the best take on Scientology. I have seen him on several other channels, including his own, and is very insightful.

it doesn't matter what Lex discusses, he always goes back to talking about Hitler lol

Paused at 4:10 or so: Attorneys, accountants and lobbyists are to a business what a military is to a nation. If you control those elements of a business, in this case that of a cult, I can definitely see how easy it would be to seize power.

At 9:52 - Lex’s reaction is priceless 😂😂

Bro 1hr in a church on Sunday morning is to much for me who the hell would put themselves through this nonsense. Wow

The way he refers to BTs is like from death stranding

Never heard of this Lex guy but I think he does a good interview. He listens, asks questions, and isn't afraid to ask someone to circle back and repeat what they said earlier for more clarification. I like this guy

Anyone that has ever been even a shift leader at subway understands this. People are falling over themselves to brown nose, flatter, cajole and manipulate their way into your good graces. To the novice it all looks like friendly relations until you read between the lines. Then people start giving you "information" masked by their own personal whims and dislikes. I always respect the person who avoids me and just does their job. That person will get far with me
