Welcome to another episode of On the Edge with Andrew Gold.

Today it's Mike Brown, a former Scientologist who I am telling you that what his

mom went through in Scientology, people are always asking me what's so bad about

Scientology, is it that bad, what do they actually do to people, what's going on?

Well today you're going to hear it first person or second person at least from Mike talking

about what happened to his mom over decades in Scientology the way they treat the elderly, the way that they take money from the elderly

while they are dying, the inhumanity they show when they come in on somebody's deathbed to just say right you're

cleared to die you know f off you're done it's just absolutely shocking so this is a

really shocking moving episode.

I've got loads of big episodes coming out,

loads of the ones I did at Battle of Ideas,

unless that's before this.

I'm not sure which way round we are anymore.

Maybe you've already heard those ones, but do keep on listening.

But now you're on the edge of Scientological abuse with Mike Brown. Mike Brown. Mike, tell me about your mom Rosemary Chick Work. Is she still with us? How is she and a bit about her story getting into Scientology?

Absolutely, so she's doing quite well. She is with us, she's actually free, she has freedom of religion, freedom from religion.

She's living with me in the United States.

We're here in Pennsylvania and we were able to help her escape

going on about 18-19 months ago

from quite a story getting her out of the C organization in Los Angeles.

So she is doing quite well.

She has good medical care now, but she is quite old.
