Mike Rinder was an important part of my leaving Scientology and deprogramming back in 2012. His blog was part of my daily routine of ridding myself of the deep brainwashing I had been ingrained in my psyche for 46 years. And when I needed support for my Documentary Brothers Broken was right there as a participant who is part of the documentary.
I had my own battles with cancer and I can say, it consumes your energy and attention. I am flowing Mike positive energy. He deserves our support. His courage and perseverance has helped change countless lives for the better, including me.
I recorded my second podcast with Mike the weekend before he started chemo. He was racing to get several in the can before he started. When there were no posts on his website since October 26, I got uneasy. I was going to send him an email today. But it’s a balancing act. I consider him my friend, but he’s a public figure. He gets so much on his plate because of this. Thank you, Tony, for the update. Cancer sucks. What cancer doesn’t take from you, chemo will. I hate it when my friends hurt. It makes me cry.
Dear Mike, thank you for opening eyes to the cult of CoS. I never knew much about it until the TV show "Scientology and the Aftermath." Since then, I have become a staunch follower and supporter to see its end. My smal acts have simply been by way of comments to news articles, emails to representatives, letters to an unjust judge's ruling, etc. and the IRS. Your work has awakened America and will continue. Wishing you well is such a mild comment, but it comes with great respect and gratitude. Enjoy the new found freedom of 'retirement' with your loved ones. May your adult children who remain in CoS wake up and reach out to you. "Wishing you well."
I am sad to read about Mike Rinder's health struggles. He has helped so many people, and his voice is still desperately needed. It is comforting to know that he's being supported by his loving family and friends.
I have been worried about Mike’s health in recent weeks. He is an inspiration even for those of us who were never part of Scientology. His story is an example of how people have the capacity to change — and the courage to do it even after the misguided attacks against him. He has had remarkable strength and the love of his family and friends which goes a long way.
I feel sad Mike felt the need to step down from Aftermath, but it is understandable. I intend Mike heals and perseveres to perfect health. Much love to him and his family. 💜

"Over time, Scientology can destroy your marriage, your friendships, your career and can even distance you from your children."
Fixed it for you Baton Rouge!

Thanks for the update, Tony. I have been wondering how he’s doing. Hang in there, Mike.
