I have done a lot of research on Scientology and it has nothing to do with religion. The rules for the church are shocking. Look up "fair game" or "tone scale" and you will begin to get an inkling of their insanity and criminal behavior. The staff members practice have classes where they practice lying so that they can do it easily when put on the spot or called in to court. Every word they say is a lie and they are proud to suck in anyone who will fall for their evil con.

Don't know if any of you go to FreeKatie but it is a website where there is a lot of talk about this subject and TomKatKitten, etc. Look at Tom and Nicole's oldest daugher, Bella, and then look at David Miscavage. The two look exactly alike. It looks like Tom adopted Miscavage's daughter... so I don't think Tom has any qualms about anything the man does. Pure evil.

Anyone else seen the deluge of Scientology commercials lately? CREEPY!!

Actually, at first I thought they were commercials for the Mormon church before "Scientology.org" link at the end, haha.

The "church" is nothing more than a front for serious felonious behavior under the guise of a tax exempt religious group. No recognized religious physically assaults it's members, spies on them, collects financial & personal information, impedes them from taking psychiatric medication without medical supervision. These are crimes.

What needs to happen is they need the legitimacy that religious tax exempt status gives these lunatics taken away - they are nothing but a cult with classic cult behavior coming to light. But enough is enough, if you want to participate in this organized insanity that's a choice,but them pay taxes not be allowed to build these shrines to abuse all over the world with money they are most likely plundering from the weak, sick, and mislead which is aided by our government not looking into what constitutes an abusive cult and a legit church.

Every article now is worse than the last.

D'ya ever notice how, when someone speaks out against the CO$, the CO$ ALWAYS says "they were fringe" or "they had deep psychological problems" or some other negative statement. It's like they can't take responsibility for anything...it's not their fault, it was the other person, blah blah blah.....

OMG....I think I've dated the Church of Scientology. Creepy.

I gotta say, there are some strange "religions" out there. My rule of thumb for what is acceptable and uplifting is one simple rule. If you leave, are you an outcast? Or can you still communicate with family and friends? Second only to, will said religion allow you close and personal relationships with someone outside this religion without pushing you to "convert" them? Simple stuff really.

I just read the article. Sounds like they violate federal wage and hour laws. Specifically, the Fair Labor Standards Act which defines min wage and over-time regulations. She only earned $50 a week in 1990?? That comes to 1.25 for a 40 hour work week. Considering what she described, it sounds like she worked more than 40 and was not elible to be exempt/salary. How about a wage and hour audit from the gov't?

The St Pete article is interesting, but even more interesting are the comments after the article. I don't understand why anyone would join a club or religion that restricts their every thought, movement and belief.

2009-11-02T12:30:12.558-08:00

It's just a money sucking cult!! What really pisses me off is that its classified as a "RELIGION" so they get whatever tax privileges that real religions get!!

My husband read Isaac Asimov's autobiograhphy and all of the contemporary sci-fi writers hated L. Ron Hubbard and agreed that he sucked as a writer.

2009-11-02T12:05:49.376-08:00

i totally agree that this organization is foul, and they mislead their members. i also try and take these kinds of reports with a small grain of salt. it's easy for dis-gruntled ex members of ANY organization to put an extreme spin on things.

that being said, i still think this 'religion' is pretty wacky.

In 1949, L. Ron Hubbard was invited to address a science-fiction group in Newark hosted by the writer, Sam Moskowitz. 'Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous,' Hubbard told the meeting. 'If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way to do it would be to start his own religion.'
