Television Star Exits Scientology

FOx ^ | April 15, 2008 | Roger Friedman

[ZGuy]

Ruggedly handsome actor Jason Beghe was best man at the wedding of "X-Files" star David Duchovny (his childhood pal) and actress Tea Leoni. In 1998, he starred as Demi Moore’s love interest in "G.I. Jane." He’s been featured in numerous TV dramas such as "Criminal Minds," "Numb3rs" and "CSI."

In 2005, Beghe appeared in promotional spots for the Church of Scientology. But now, Beghe has escaped the church after taking courses since 1994. He’s made a video that’s up on YouTube.

This is what he has to say: "Scientology is destructive and a rip-off."

He also says: "It’s very, very dangerous for your spiritual, psychological, mental, emotional health and evolution. I think it stunts your evolution. If Scientology is real, then something’s f---ed up."

You can see from the video that Beghe does not mince words. But his refreshing candor about the religion he joined in 1994 should shake the Celebrity Center to its core.

"It ain’t deliverin’ what it’s promised. It sure has not."

Beghe has completed so many courses that he’s considered a top Scientologist, or "OT 5" — similar to Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley. But Beghe reveals: "The further up the bridge, the worse you get."

This fellow sure has a way with words, doesn’t he?

[Eva]

It’s interesting that this is being covered on FOX News, since Greta Von Sustern is a Scientologist.

[crusty old prospector]

You think he wishes he had his money back?

[dfwgator]

He is soooo sued!

[RexBeach]

I think Mr. Jason thinks of all the hard earned money he’s dumped into this cesspool, and winces.

The day he gets his money back will be the same day I walk across Chesapeake Bay - on the water.

"If Scientology is real, then something’s f---ed up."

You think?

I thought the exact same thing.

[pissant]

Gee, who would have thunk this was a fraudulent ‘religion’?

[crusty old prospector]

Better watch what you say, with all this global warming going on, it may soon have “frozen” water on it.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Sciencefictiontology. (With apologies to Kenny Blankenship)

[txroadkill]

Really, a religion made up by a failed science fiction writer is fake???? Who could have ever seen that coming???

[netmilsmom]

Nice looking man. Glad he smartened up.

[Abathar]

I LOL’d when he (without mentioning any names) did the Tom Cruise imitation.

[PeterFinn]

Good to hear someone left this cult alive. More people escape islam every day than escape Scientology in any given year.

[AzSteven]

Man, Xenu is gonna be pissed...

[Eva]

It’s been interesting to watch her coverage of the FLDS in Texas. She is very reticent to say anything critical of their beliefs. She does make a face now and then to let us know how she feels, but that’s it.

[hosepipe]

If you believe nothing then you can believe anything..
Wonder what is his next stop.... Mormon?... JW?....
Maybe Oprahs Moonbat Express with Eckhardt Tolle..
Or the Borat Obama Dog and Pony Show..

[devere]

So long as religion enjoys outstanding tax benefits, people will look for opportunities to categorize their activities as “religion”.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Catherine Bell needs to be next to leave that cult. I think she would make a great Catholic. I'd even volunteer to help her.

[oust the louse]

His boss Tom Cruise is very disappointed...

[TommyDale]

Two words: Lisa McPherson

[dfwgator]

Actually Xenu is very pleased.

[vietvet67]

"The day he gets his money back will be the same day I walk across Chesapeake Bay - on the water."

Already been done.

[Snickering Hound]

I'd love to "de-program" Jenna Elfman...

[verga]

Please tell me it isn't so.

[Hatheos]

Wow, that was one long and crazy video. He is scary!

[BOBTHENAILER]

He’s gonna be sorry....Tom and the crew will git im

[SkyDancer]

Isn’t Greta Von Sustern just a talking head? Is she in the editorial/news division that OK’s what’s broadcast?

Hey Nully : ) Look here, another escapee!

[PLMerite]

Ninety minutes of my life I lost to that stupid stupid movie.

[Moonman62]

It’s interesting that this is being covered on FOX News, since Greta Von Sustern is a Scientologist.

Heck, her boss Roger Ailes is one of them.

[Eva]

Your kidding, I never saw his name on the list. I just looked at it the other day, but I guess that I must have missed that.

[fishtank]

A shame.

The book is not bad at all ,,,,,,,, even though Elrond Himself wrote it......,,,,,,,,

[TexasRepublic]

It took him only 14 years to figure that out?

[dead]

That video is a hoot!

I don't f@#kin' know if he's OT8 or thetanically f#@kin' clear or an OT9! An OT9 goddammit! Show me a f#@kin' clear!

[JZelle]

“Ninety minutes of my life I lost to that stupid stupid movie.”

Maybe he should’ve danced some ;)

[Louis Foxwell]

Always thought there is something unwired about Greta.

[count-your-change]

What is it with these guys and the long, nasty looking hair? Not good in a fight or around moving machinery.

[RikaStrom]

for home

[NucSubs]

It was a great book.

[windcliff]

[mel]

That video is absolutely embarassing to watch. Driving by an accident and he is the only one who can help because he is scientologist. what a fruitcake
