Jason Beghe of GI Jane Leaves Scientology and Calls it a Rip-Off

Beghe leaves Scientology after years of taking courses.

Jason Beghe, featured in hit shows, such as X-Files, Criminal Minds, Numb3rs and CSI, as well as the feature films, Thelma and Louise and GI Jane, joined the Scientology organization in 1994.  by 2005 he appeared in promotional spots for the Church of Scientology.  Year’s later a disgruntled Beghe has left the church saying “Scientology is destructive and a rip-off.”

 

After taking several courses, bringing him to a level of OT 5, or top Scientologist, Beghe was among the ranks of Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley.  He says “It’s very, very dangerous for your spiritual, psychological, mental, emotional health and evolution.  I think it stunts your evolution.  If Scientology is real, then something’s f—ed up.”
