F*ck This, I’m Out: Remembering Mike Rinder

Listen to this episode from A Little Bit Culty on Spotify. This week, we’re honoring the life and legacy of our dear friend and hero, Mike Rinder. Mike was a pivotal figure in the fight against cultic abuse, and his courage and compassion set the gold standard for turning a difficult past into a powerful force for good. To celebrate his incredible contributions, we’re re-releasing this conversation from March 2021, where Mike shared his remarkable journey out of Scientology, the intricacies of whistleblowing, and the resilience it takes to rebuild after leaving a high-control group.   In Mike’s own words, “If you are in any way fighting to end those abuses, please keep the flag flying. Never give up.” Let’s carry his torch forward.   👉 Support Mike Rinder’s Legacy and Help Send His Son Jack to College here  Thank you, Mike, for being the light we all needed.
