Scientology is the most dangerous organization on the planet today.
There is nothing more dangerous than fanaticism fuelled by the cult of money and power.
It is a huge global cancer spreading like wild fire which has shielded itself by calling itself a religion.
Check out the A&E documentary to really get a sense of how incredibly dangerous it really is.
People all over the world really need to wake up and see it for what it really is.
Scientology has even taken over the Cult Awarness Network (CAN) It is now owned and run by Scientologists!

Tommy Davis owned himself. Nothing he said made sense and he was always screaming like a madman. John Sweeney got annoyed at him for harassing him, stalking him, and screaming at him constantly. Tommy Davis made himself look like a fool, and that is what he is. Tommy's a creep, a psycho, and a stalker. He should be thrown in jail.
Sweeney told the TRUTH. Scientology is a CULT and it is very destructive! Tommy Davis' actions showed that loud and clear what they are all about--CONTROL, HARASSMENT, and BRAINWASHING. That hall about psychiatry was insane! Comparing it to the Holocaust? What a sham! What a horrible thing to do. I'm sorry, but it is so not up there with the mass murder of Jews or any people!
Scientology kills!

At first glance it certainly appears that Tommy Davis 'pWned' John Sweeney. Davis was certainly trying to get a reaction out of Sweeney, and he succeeded. Sweeney made a fool out of himself, and embarrassed the BBC.
Even if all that you saw was this short clip, it may have made you think less of Panorama and the BBC, but did it improve your opinion of Scientology? A few hundred thousand people only saw Sweeney freak out, but another 4 million viewers saw it in context with Davis following him around in an extraordinarily creepy way.
In my opinion, Scientology's efforts to silence critics continue to backfire. I used to believe that Scientology was a legitimate religion, but after looking into it I now believe that it is a business disguised as a religion.

Sweeney was just putting on a horrible show. He did not tell the story of what scientology is really about, which is making the able more able. Instead like most reporters, he made up some bullshit and *bang* you got front page reporting.
check out this video put together by freedom magazine entilled panorama exposed.
see what kind of reporting BBC. And they call themselves reporters?!

No, actually. Tommy Davis just accomplished what he was sent there to do: elicit an explosive response, hence achieving character assassination on his Fair Game target.
Yeah, Sweeney was Fair Game. If you're wondering about Fair Game, here's a brief explanation:
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.”

hi BraveHeartBear AKA The Outsiders AKA Affinity Warrior I watched the finished panorama application. And certain, I did watch the smear campaign the cult of Scientology sewed mutually from dissimilar diverse, typically out of context, video clips like some form of hideous Frankenstein of a documentary. And by technique of ways, numerous the clips that they concept might want to be so useful to their propaganda weren't unquestionably so undesirable. they in simple terms desire you'll see it in a unfavourable gentle by using the undeniable fact that's how the finished ingredient is accessible. also, i imagine it truly is totally accessible for the shape of movie they were attempting to make that typically cases you'll see a Scientologists chatting with Sweeney, "explaining" some thing or "discussing" some thing or maybe "accusing" some thing, and then the video will reduce out in the previous Sweeney begins to reply, rebut, clarify, some thing. it truly is fairly elementary to grind a guy into the airborne dirt and mud once you eliminate his skill to take care of himself and then make up any previous memories you want to about him. one better ingredient... I see you've given me a thumbs down as you commonly do. thanks a lot for taking the time to completely brush aside actuality. no longer that it truly is a few thing new and various for you...

OH YEAH ! scientology is a CULT ! do you really think L RON HUBBARD was anything else but a CULT LEADER? just because mr davis seemed to keep his cool , it was clear that it was only due to the brainwashing that is needed to even understand scientology. mr. hubbard understood the power of religious belief to control people. the only thing mr. sweeney did wrong is to expect an inteligent answer from mr. davis.

I don't think we will ever know. Scientology, really doesn't want us to see the rest of that incident. You notice it is shown out of context. You have know idea what it was about other than he is really pissed off.
That whole thing was damage control. They keep saying free and total access, but only if it is prearranged. If they have nothing to hide why can't the BBC come in and film without notice?

His reaction was understandable. Scientology hasn't come out of this unscathed because its underhand methods were exposed so it served a purpose.
