The Complex: An Insider Exposes the Covert World of the Church of Scientology
The above title refers to a phrase uttered in the movie “Serenity.” It refers to the fact that the dictatorial government can’t squelch information once it is out in the public domain.
Apparently scientology is trying to get this book shut down by claiming defamation, blah, blah, blah…business at usual. This review may be removed..if that’s the case so be it. Since Amazon is too chicken to carry this book, my recommendation is to go to Eason books online and search for the author by name and order the book.
And to scientology….You can’t stop the wave.
Rating: 5 / 5

This personal account of the author’s involvement in the cult (Church of Scientology) is captivating and chilling. His story is an accurate portrayal of the inner-workings of the Church of Scientology.
Many ex-scientologists have had the courage to speak out and all of the stories were filled with tragedies and bone chilling personal accounts. This true story of John Duignan and his escape from the cult is sure to have you sitting on the edge of your seat.
This book “hit home” for me because the way the author got sucked into the cult is exactly the way it happened to me as well. I was one of the lucky ones. I got out of the cult early on. I did not suffer like so many other scientologists do, though I did get harassed by the cult.
People sometimes ask me, “Why do famous actors stay in Scientology if it is so horrible?” I have an answer for that. It is because actors are high profile, rich, and they are a public relations boon for the Church of Scientology. Actors do not have trouble paying for scientology courses and the cult wants to keep them as happy as possible to avoid a PR disaster should the high profile actor speak out publicly against the cult. Furthermore, being a member of the Church of Scientology has become a Hollywood “fad.” One actor (Jason Beghe) has quit the cult and is now speaking out. You can see the video at:

A must-read for everyone, especially those affected and afflicted by Scientology. Unfortunately Amazon won’t carry it, and so I won’t shop at Amazon anymore. Supporting a company that supports the CoS is tantamount to direct financing of the cult. There are other retailers who carry this book, as well as many other materials that expose the truth behind, that are far more deserving of your patronage.
If a retailer doesn’t carry this book, don’t give them your money.

I ordered this book from Easons since Amazon was not taking orders at the time. I found this book both riveting and very sad. It is hard to believe that these atrocities are happening in the US and world wide today. I never heard of the Sea Org (Scienotlogy’s own navy) until this past January. Slave labor camps,coerced abortions,mind control,family disconnection,cruel punishments are ALL mentioned in this book. Celebrities who support this cult should read this book so they will know the truth. They are kept in the dark about the crimes of Scientology, and they don’t realize they are being fleeced. John Duignan explains just how the money is taken in and where it goes. He mentions how members will stop at nothing to “keep their stats” up. Lies, betrayals, and more. John endured a living hell. And to think he had to ESCAPE his own “church”! A must read. Everyone should get educated about Scientology and how it’s a dangerous orginzation, not a church, and ask why Scientology is still TAX FREE when they are nothing more than a BUSINESS that harms it’s members in every way shape and form.
BUY THIS BOOK, you won’t be disapointed.
