Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis issued an apology on Saturday in response to criticism over their character letters in support of convicted rapist Danny Masterson.
The three women were members of the Church of Scientology, as is Masterson. All three women said they were initially hesitant to speak to law enforcement because they said church teachings discouraged reporting to police. The women eventually left the church.
Cults are bad, people. Religion is bad because it’s a normalized / accepted cult. Eff this guy.
I noticed that Topher Grace didn’t get mentioned for writing a letter to the judge. I’ve never thought he’s a great actor (he was pretty good in Traffic), but I like him a bit more now.

Cult vs Criminal Org. Both can be true.
Yeah the largest biological weapon attack on US soil was a cult.
One of my favorite Down The Rabbit Hole videos. Too bad it’s not on Youtube anymore…
Sounds good! I learned about it from Wikipedia, which is a bit dry.
For those looking, the video is about Rajneeshpuram. But you can also find a well-done Netflix documentary on it.
Will look out for it!
