anybody from the church of Scientology on hear? if you are why do you believe in this religion/cult?

Answer 1

I watched last nights panorama programme last night and I felt disturbed that this cult draws people in and then brainwashing them into their way of thinking. I thought the guy I can't remember his name was harrassing the reporter trying to prevent him from doing his job and when the reporter lost his temper (because he was defending the guy he was interviewing) and rightly so because the guy from the church of scientology was an ignorant who would not listen, arrogant bully. The church complains quickly enough when people dare to critisize the church but they infringe other people's human right and publish stuff about other people past and say things which I would say is against their rights and is defermation of character I have been to that website and read some of what they have had to say about these people and it made me angry to think that these people can get away with such a thing. i think the Church of Scientology in London should be closed down because it's not a real religion it is a cult that wrecks families and poisons people minds as the guy on panorama said this cult is a looney cult that once you're in you can never break free never leave they will never let go. I can't believe the American governments allows this to go on you would think they would have laws against religious cults think of the Davidians in Wako, Texas remember what happened there.

Answer 2

No, I'm NOT a member of the cult of Scientology. I would NEVER join the cult of Scientology. I've never been a part of it and I know some current members will show up and tell you that anyone who's never been in it couldn't possibly know what they're talking about... but really, you don't have to've been hit by a tornado in order to realize you should stay as far away from one as possible.

These are just a few of the MANY reasons why Scientology should not be viewed as ANYTHING other than a dangerous, destructive, manipulative, scamming cult:

• Operation Snow White – Under this official program, Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, & theft of documents in government offices. This program constituted the single largest infiltration of the United States government in history. Among the 11 prominent Scientologists convicted of this conspiracy was Mary Sue Hubbard, the wife of Scientology’s “prophet”.

• Operation Freakout - Their campaign of sabotage & violence against Paulette Cooper, the writer who published her research & findings on several cults, including Scientology. Scientology’s official plan: to frame Paulette, ruin her career & reputation & get her either incarcerated or locked up in psychiatric confinement.

• Fair Game - the Scientology policy detailing how the organization may confront & handle critics & perceived enemies. Here is a direct quote: "Enemies may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.”

• Physical & psychological punishment: Scientologists who "break the rules" while members of the "Sea Org" must subject themselves to the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), which includes regimes of harsh physical punishment, forced self-confessions, social isolation, hard labor and intensive ideological indoctrination.

• Brainwashing & mind control: Scientology exerts control over its members by means of typical cult tactics, including but not limited to controlling information about internal doctrine & criticism of the organization, severely restricting social contact outside the cult (including the practice of “disconnecting” with any family who question the credibility & trustworthiness of the cult), creating an “us against them” mentality by villainizing a specific out-group (for Scientology, it’s psychiatrists), & claiming all those outside the cult are unenlightened.

• Violent Kidnapping - Lisa McPherson was a Scientologist, was involved in a car accident & resultantly became mentally unstable. She was kidnapped from the hospital by agents of Scientology, held against her will, refused proper psychiatric treatment & allowed to STARVE TO DEATH.

• Tragic Murder - A CBS “48 Hours” special on Jeremy Perkins, the mentally disturbed son of Scientologist parents who, because of the Scientology doctrine of opposing psychiatry, refused to put him on the anti-psychotic drugs that would have stabilized him & prevented him from killing his own mother.
