Scientology: Inside the Cult

OpenComments Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - No major religion coerces its members to pay for religious services. Scientology requires its members to pay "fixed donations" for any service. Staff members aggressively try to convince other Scientologists to purchase services in a practice known as "hard regging". Furthermore, staff and Sea Org members are often recruited with the promise of free services, but required to do nearly unpaid work for the organization in exchange, and will be billed for a "freeloader debt" if they leave.

Nov 19, 2009 - None of the mainstream religions practice and encourage anything to the extent fair game is applied. The majority of these religions do not apply fairgame tactics as institutionalized policies;Scientology does. Activities this sect is currently participating in havent been seen since the dark ages. It was wrong then and its wrong now. Just because people used to burn witches, heretics, and atheists, does that make a new religion doing the same thing today alright? No, of course it doesnt.

Nov 19, 2009 - The International Church of Scientology is one of the most debilitating cults at present. It has been said that the recovery time for people coming out of Scioentology is 12 years. After restructuring your vocabulary and thinking processes you become so "Homo Novus" that you are left with the inability to function within average society. Scientology isn't a joke, it's incredibly dangerous!

Nov 20, 2009 - This week a Senator of the Australian government spoke to the Parliament and said the the Church of Scientology is a Bussiness that hides under "Religion" not for prophit to commit Fraud so that they do not have to pay Tax. The the Senator spoke about what happened to former members and called the Scientology a Criminal Organisation. The next day the Prime Minister of Australia said that Scientology will have to pay back years of Tax money and that the Police should investigate their crimes.

Nov 20, 2009 - Islam and Christianity are the only true religions. Scientology is just another piece of dust that made it's way into ppl's minds.

Nov 21, 2009 - They really are loony! They'll be trying to tell us next that some invisible, all powerful "creator" watches over our every deed and thought and that when we die we will get to join him in a mystical, happy place. He He. Ok so I`ve gone over the top now LOL

Nov 21, 2009 - We shouldn't even try to argue their philosophies. Just keep hammering them about their human rights abuses.

Nov 22, 2009 - "My father has always used the confidential information extracted from people during auditing sessions to intimidate, threaten and coerce them to do what he wanted, which often meant getting them to give him money. My father routinely used false threats and auditing information particularly about crimes people had committed to extort money from them." (From LRH Jr.'s 1982 affidavit)

Nov 22, 2009 - What I have always wanted to ask some of these famous movie stars who are Scientologists is if are they going to relinquish their children to other Scientologist to raise and only see them every once in a while? Are they going to let their children work long hours like many of the other children of Scientologist ? I doubt it.

Nov 23, 2009 - The first sentence.... is a really ignorant statement. All religions are wacked, just been around for longer

FightTheJoker Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - I can't believe people are dumb enough to join this crazy ass cult..

blStation02 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - Like every cult, Scientology is surrounded with a far share of controversies

Theboxer500 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - Really and what you just said isn't ignorant. At least I belief in a religion unlike atheism that beliefs we came from nothing and stupid Scientology.

queenastilon Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - the101theory, "Scientology isn't a joke..." Exactly. Those mind binding techniques, and these were just early courses! - were just severe mental abuse. It doesn't take much to break anyone They call ex member apostates!!

queenastilon Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - I love East Grinstead, and the surrounding area, villages, the forest. The original PoohSticks bridge is a few miles from there (yes, it's real!), at the village of Hartfield. Sigh. And this shit is there, too. Before Tom Nicole broke up, they were looking to buy a house there too. So he was already into it then? There is an expensive school there, Greenfields, that uses Dyanetics teaching techniques. ~sigh~

queenastilon Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - It's a shame about "conditions for the interview" not being agreed. Couldn't they have just let a SoC spokesperson spout their shit for a couple of minutes without asking any questions? Let them make a statement? They'd only hang themselves more, even without actual interviewing. Hang on, they have hidden cameras in the toilets!! They film women peeing in the stalls!!

TheClearBlade Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - LOL, just posted a comment for a video from the actual Church of Scientology channel. Wonder if a hitman with an e-meter will go after me.
