Whenever they think about leaving the cult. And when they make noises about leaving and don't go missing, it's only because a bunch of Scientology-affiliated women accuse them of rape and they end up in prison for 30 years.

Anecdotal but I had a friend I used to hang out with, always loved to explore new places, find interesting spots, read up on history etc.

He once went into one of those Scientology shop fronts promoting their 'religion', had a look at their pamphlets then after a few minutes walks out. As he walked away, he swears someone was following him for a while then suddenly stopped following him.

THAT'S why I don't fuck with them..

Scientologists literally abduct their own members for interrogations, even when they are not assassinating people.

This is the same cult that, according to Leah Remini, gave John Travolta an anime name and the privilege to kill anyone with a sword whenever he feels like it

They have doctrine upon doctrine about not only what constitutes a SP, but also the litany of things you can do to them (almost anything). This isn't a cult where they hide the evil behind a leader just acting hypocritically, its available literature.

Between that and the fact that you need to pay exuberant amounts of money to even really be in the church, its hard to feel bad for anyone except the kids born into it. Its FAFO in religious form.

I like to naïvely think to myself that at least a fraction of the people that go missing did it to escape.

It's because they owe the Xenomorphs money, so they kidnap them and fly them to space if they don't pay enough for Luke Skywalker to fight them off, because Scientology.
