How Scientology costs members up to millions of dollars, according to Leah Remini's show
"Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath"/ A&E
Hint: They're steep.
"There is no other religion that I know of that requires two and a half hours of your day, a quarter of a million dollars minimum, and at least 40 years of your life," host and former Scientologist Leah Remini said.
Remini claims she spent "millions" during her 35 years with the church.
The episode focused on the course requirements of the religion and the alleged ways the religion pressures its members into continually giving above and beyond the course costs.
For the record, the church has declined to take part in the series. It contends that the statements Remini and the other contributors to the show have made about Scientology are false and are driven by a desire to profit or gain publicity from their time in the religion.
Here's how Scientology could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for its followers, according to former members:
