Jerry Pournelle and the Alleged Separateness of Writers of the Future and Scientology

@4:10 - "Hubbard left a legacy of this Writers of the Future thing which is not conne.. it is connected with Scientology in the sense that the Scientologists basically man the professional staff of it, but the judges are not, the guy who teaches the course for writers who win the things are not. It's Tim Powers and he's Roman Catholic. In other words it's straight, and I don't really want to tar that place which does good with a lot of these things about Hubbard" -- Jerry Pournelle

Interviews of Nicole Remini

Lori Barghini and Julia Cobbs interview Nicole Remini on MyTalk 107.1


She was also interviewed by Colleen Lindstrom. Here's a transcript of the interview (excerpts added as they become available):


Leah and Nicole aren't the only members of the family to leave the church.

Everybody left... when this all came down, everybody had to make a choice whether they were going to stick by Leah or stick by the church. So they all left at the same time.

They all had to make a choice of what they were going to do. This is how we are as a family. We stick together. It's just not an option. So, for my family, staying in Scientology under the circumstances was not an option. Choosing the church over Leah was never going to happen. You think about it, if they'd…
