Trapped In The Closet came out in 2005 so the internet wasn’t as vast in information yet or as available. Not even most Scientologists knew the truths of their teachings. So how did Matt and Trey get such in-depth info on the subject?

The Xenu story has been floating around forever. It’s not a huge secret. Although Scientology protects it fiercely because it’s their most sacred “truth” and deep down I think even some of them know how absurd it is if they were to make this public. Plus since it’s the highest OT level you can get to currently, if they just released the info you learn at that level now, Scientologists have no reason to pay for it later.

The reason many stay in Scientology after learning the Xenu nonsense is as Leah Remini described - by that time you’ve invested years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars or more for you to get the “truth” of the universe as brainwashed aliens souls in DC-8’s and a galactic warlord. You think “there HAS to be more than this” so you stay in it because you don’t want the shame of believing you wasted all that time and money.
