About Marc Abian
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I am able to answer most questions about the abuses of and within the 'church.' I can answer most questions about the on-going Scientology vs. Anonymous conflict, and address the lies/half truths that are being thrown around.

Experience
I have studied cults for nearly 30 years, most recently Scientology after nearly being absorbed into the 'church' in the late 70's. I have interviewed a number of current and ex-Scientology members, as well as read the materials through OT VIII that is considered 'classified' by Scientology.

Education/Credentials
Masters in Religious History, with a minor focus on Cult Religions at Western Washington's Fair Haven program.
