It is crazy that that guy Marty has been disconnected from every member of his family. Ex-wife, kids, brother, sister, nieces, nephews.

They all just wrote him off.

That happens all the time to mormon polygamist. When you leave the "compound" you are scene as an outsider.

It's really fascinating how religions like this have survived and gained membership over decades. Only in America could something like Scientology survive and then reach legitimate status.

It's pretty creepy that a number of the former high ups in Scientology are now being followed
oh you didn't know?

they follow anyone who is an "enemy"

janitor types. It's pretty fricking creepy actually. I recommend the bbc john Sweeney segment. they follow him everywhere and they start freaking him out and driving him nuts and he fricking snaps

There was an article in TIME in 94 I think that is the best piece done on them by the mainstream media.

documents how they blackmailed the IRS into submission (and not just with lawsuits) pretty awesome stuff

things that drive me nuts watching that

I never realized miscavige is 5'1...I wouldn never, eeeeever let that dude strike me. I don't give a shite how many people are there.

and

get off my property. They're not really filming in great detail, it's clear they're threatening you, and they're on your property and you have, I assume, reported many instances of them stalking you...

So scream, "oh my god, a knife" and waste the motherfricker. Just start battering him non stop. Also, you live in florida so get a really big rotty or german shepherd, start open carrying a big arse colt revolver...it's about sending a message.

The stalkers remind me of the Guilty Remnant cult in The Leftovers.

I would dominate those people.

I would kill em with kindness on their cameras while secretly planning something awful to happen to them. I would relish in the challenge.

I'm curious if Tom Cruise has come out in support of gay marriage. being in hollywood and a Democrat, i'd just assumed he did, but Scientology is against it


THis is the way to take them down. Get the Velvet Mafia on them.

I find it hokey/funny that the property they have around the world look like they belong in Sim City.

I always thought they were a branch of Christianity that used science as a basis for religion.

Then that South Park episode came out and come to find out that episode was on point.

Consider the origins of most religions....it wasn't a treat to be an early Christian and then later, to question Christianity, resulted in a punishment a bit harsher than KP duty, musical chairs and a punch from a midget.
