Is the "Church" of Scientology Still Breaking the Law?

Question

Eleven top Scientologists, including LRon Hubbard's wife, were sent to prison in the early 1980s for infiltrating, burglarizing and wiretapping more than 100 private and government agencies in attempts to block their investigations.
Scientology policy calls for illegal imprisonment , violation of labor laws , and a shocking disregard for the fundamental rights of all citizens.

Allegations against the group span 25 years and much of the globe. Scientology's extremely high emphasis on doing things "standardly" makes it likely that criminal actions, dictated by Scientology policy, are happening today.

The cost for attaining "higher levels of spirituality" in Scientology can cost as much as $300,000 or more, and do not allow for other spiritual or religious beliefs by their followers.

Do you think that given their history and tradition they are still breaking the law, even though the IRS has finally given them "non-profit" status?

Answer 1

Scientology has been breaking the law for years and has still been stepping over that line even recently. It's a dangerous, manipulative, greedy, lying, scamming, brainwashing cult. This assertion is backed up by facts. Plenty of people have been harmed by Scientology. Thankfully I've been fortunate enough to never confront the organization directly. There have been a number of people who have had very bad experiences during their involvement with Scientology. Read about them here:

Here are more "bad experiences" with the cult including an illegal plot to infiltrate the government, brainwashing techniques, mind control camps, attacks on critics, and DEATHS caused by Scientology doctrine and members:

• 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.
