With the stuff they do and have done to people how is it that the feds haven't taken them down?

Scientology is still less of a cult than islam. Until Tom Cruise starts blowing people up, they are lower on the list.

I don't know man, I guess keep fighting the good fight to keep evolution out of schools and then we can work on dismantling scientists later.

I have no idea. Have any of the members who have been abused and mistreated gone to the cops?

Is it not the job of our government to protect its citizens from religious organizations.

If you want to believe LRH and his religious doctrine, then that is your business. Don't ask the government to think for you. You have free will.

They have lots of wealthy followers. Much like the pope.

I've watched both the Leah Remini Show and Going Clear on HBO, the fact that people actually follow this cult full of abuse and forced abortions blows my mind. I feel bad for the kids like Leah who were basically born into it and brainwashed since she was a child. It's ridiculous they are tax exempt.

I know one thing, Leah Remini is putting her foot up their arse.

Hollytards either join or are afraid to leave, she left and continues to beat them up like a punching bag.

That NY girl has balls of steel. Scientology for Hollywood, they can ruin ur career.

While i think its great that she's abusing them, i enjoyed her reality show. Her Mom and family are ate up.

People need to stoping going to and watching Tom Cruise movies and that will help a lot. Also contact your congressional leaders and demand their tax status as a church gets revoked.

This is a good question, but if they are taken down the same argument can be made about other religions. Plus, they can afford really good lawyers and it would probably not be worth it at all to try and take them down. The best way to do it is to make people aware of what really goes on, etc.

They sued the IRS and won. No one wants to mess with them.

The public killed the founder of the Mormons. Did that stop them?

We don't need the government deciding which religions are legit. If a moron wants to join an idiot religion - well, you can't stop moron behavior.

Haven't read this thread, but Leah Remini is a totally annoying bitch with lipo lips...If people are stupid enough to buy into tiny David Miscavige's BS, then let them knock themselves out.

It's a club for people that dig clubs... masons, knights of Columbus, elks, loyal order of moose, shrines and Methodists all come to mind...

Y'all are just jealous y'all haven't reached Thetan Level OT VIII(Truth Revealed). That's what John Travolta is, and he was in Pulp Fiction. All the evidence I need.
