YouTube Description
as posted by the channelToday we are doing a special live stream to analyze an email conversation a Scientologist had with a non-Scientologist friend of theirs. We are going to look at cognitive dissonance and how it works to protect beliefs and keep a person centered in their emotional and moral needs, thereby keeping them in a group like Scientology when they start thinking that maybe this group isn't everything it's cracked up to be. See you there!
