"Next week on Rock Center, insider accounts that have never been broadcast before about Scientology, including Harry Smith's exclusive interview with Paul Haggis. The Oscar-winning writer and director is the most prominent Scientology member in Hollywood to break away after spending more than 30 years as a member.

"I was ashamed of my own stupidity, of how I'd been, could have been so purposely blind for so many years," Haggis told Rock Center's Harry Smith.

Smith also talks to the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright, who has written a controversial new book about the Church of Scientology titled, ‘Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief.’

Harry Smith’s full report airs Thurs., Jan. 17 at 10pm/9c on NBC’s Rock Center with Brian Williams."

That'll work well in promoting the new book.

Look like someone's publisher has a good press agent. Hoped they talk to John Stewart/Stephen Colbert, too.

Here's a post from www.tonyortega.org regarding the Paul Haggis interview as well as some upcoming surprises:

The folks over at NBC’s Rock Center were good enough to send us this promo this afternoon…

…just as we were about to walk into a 3-hour movie. Oh well. So you’ve probably already heard this news. But heck, there’s still plenty of time to talk about how great it is that Paul Haggis talked to Harry Smith about leaving Scientology, and that Larry Wright will also be featured. Some other ex-Scientologists were also interviewed, we hear, but we don’t know if they’ll be included in this show.

We’re very familiar with Haggis’s story as told by Wright two years ago in the New Yorker, and we have to wonder how much of this show will be new to us. But just think of the reach! Even from this short clip, we can see how credible Haggis seems, and with Scientology’s PR team in disarray, there’s just no way they’re going to have much of a comeback to this.

Wednesday night, January 16 Nancy Many’s docudrama will air on ID. Thursday the 17th is the official launch of Wright’s book, which should be accompanied by a blizzard of features and reviews around the country. And we’re also expecting a couple of other bombs to land soon, and we’d hate to spoil the surprise on them. Let’s just say one involves a huge project by a certain formidable daily newspaper, and another is a magazine-style investigation by a certain buzzy website.

And on top of that Jenna Miscavige Hill’s memoir is still to come on February 5.

The funny thing is, it’s still not enough. We want more, MORE!

This 2013 is the year of reckoning to David Miscavige for all the human rights abuses, Narconon crimes and else where, hidden agenda, lies, destruction of families, death of Alexander and other young adults, forced abortions, child endangerment and child abuse, slavery, lies about Ideal Morgue as expansion, enprisionment of management at the Hole in Hemet, California, robbery of people with good intention, disappearance of Shelly Miscavige, IRS infringement of non-profit codes, enurement and the list goes on and on...

Before I even saw this thread I got a call from my mother and she said "you know that Scientology stuff you have been reading about? Some of it's going to be on Rock Center next week". I'm so happy that this stuff is getting so much exposure in the mainstream lately! If it's reaching shows and stations that even my mother watches, you know it's starting to really leak out there. I'm can't wait to see this one!

I'm just bumping this for the weekend crowd in case anyone missed it.

WOW - the last seconds of that video! He's been there and done that - you can hear it when he talks about the cult's culture of fear. This is going to be bigger than that volcano on the cover of Dianetics.

".....you can hear it...."

Yeah, this seems as though it's going to be Epic!

Popcorn anyone?

Popcorn is in affluence and vertical.

I have a feeling that Rock Center’s segment tonight on Scientology from the viewpoints of Paul Haggis and Lawrence Wright is going to be rather interesting. You may not agree with all you see and hear, but I suggest you ought to see and hear it.
