Long time watcher, first time poster here. Re: Why don't people sue and get their money back? This above about being forced to consent to arbitration - and more, too, which I remember from a show last season. 1) As soon as you either: enter the Scientology premises, take a class, take a "personality test", or ask them questions, they make you sign a form, which, among the fine print, says that you believe Scientology is a religion. This is so you can never later claim that you didn't think it was a religion and that you believed you were buying services or counseling rather than making "religious donations". If someone did claim this, I'm sure the obvious rebuttal would be, "He's changed his mind, just like many people believe in Christianity and change their mind, so that doesn't make it any less of a religion. He believed it was a religious donation when he gave this money." 2) There is a policy that says that any Scientologist can ask for a refund at any time. I'm sure people like the registrar show this to everyone. BUT! 3) There is ALSO a policy that says that any Scientologist who asks for a refund is declared a suppressive person. And thus, they cannot enter the premises (and must immediately leave) and may not talk to any Scientologist. Such as talking to them to ask for your money back. Catch-22: You can never get your money back. It's kind of genius in its evilness. I have a law degree and I remember being blown away by the intricacies of .... essentially, how far they go to protect their money. This episode showed how far they go to GET the money. Circular policies like the above, show me how far they go to KEEP it.

Am I the only one that thinks Azan bribed that clerk to say the Xeroxed form was not acceptable? We only saw the scene that played out, not what happened before it. Azan didn't want to get married, and Nicole didn't speak one word of the language. So how easy would it be for him to convince that clerk (maybe his friend or relative even) to go on camera and do a scene, saying that a xeroxed form wouldn't work. Voila! No wedding! And not Azan's fault!

This is outside the White House. (Long time reader, first time poster! I live locally to DC so had to chime in! The tourists at the back are looking towards the White House. Josh is standing the closest distance that protesters / demonstrators are allowed to stand, so my guess is that's what he is doing.)

Hi! New to this site - I created this account only so I could ask this question: What ever happened to Maddie going to college? Last I remember she had graduated high school with honors and won a full scholarship to college in Utah (USU)? And seemed to be pretty happy to be going. That was only a year or two ago. Is she transferring to a new college in Montana? Or did she just drop out, and if so, what is she doing? The show didn't address this tonight. I don't follow their social media or really follow anything about this family in the off season, so that really surprised me. Out of all the Brown kids, Maddie is one of the last I would have pegged to drop out of college after 1 year to get married.
