everything she's said has been more credible than anything that's come from Scientology

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

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.

membership gyms do this constantly. So you want to shut down a religion that's helping people due to a billing error?

Seems like you're just confused and spiteful.

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.


Scientology is not a religion and the government can remove its tax free status.....

Also, why did the government start investigating Jim Jones?

How these assholes were able to get tax exempt status is mind blowing


A lot of lawsuits and money. Also the general public was not interested in them so there was no opposition.

What I get out of it is better than money. My payment is the peace of mind that comes with sharing true happiness with other human beings.

Let me ask you this, have you ever talked to a real member of the church or is your opinion based solely on the hit piece "documentaries"?

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

Seems like you're on their pay role.

I am disturbed by what they do to and how they destroy families. I also think that they are not a religion but a cult and don't deserve tax free status.

And it seems like you're ready to hate something with no knowledge of how it works. If the only thing you knew about Christianity was what you saw in ISIS recruiting videos, you'd probably think it was a cult too.

Let me ask you this, do you ever feel sad and not know why?

Ridiculous and the answer to the OP. If they had to pay taxes that they could at all frick up on, the gubment would be in their arse.

Other than that all they could do wrong is build a compound and or stockpile weapons.

Have not talked directly to a real memeber but have read a number of exmemebrs blogs. Also have seen video of exmemebers harassed and hunted.

All those boys that talked about being raped by catholic priest weren't lying and I doubt that these ex Scientology members are lying.

I can also tell you that I see examples all over the world of different religions doing good in the world. I have never seen anything good in person that Scientology has done.

So admittedly, your only source of information is from people with motives to defame the church.

Let me ask you this, do you often believe what you're told to believe by "authority" figures?

Do you some times wonder what you could achieve without that stifling influence holding you back?

If you're a troll good one. If not, no when I'm sad I know why and have no problem dealing with it. It's called life.

I'm a happy person and love life and mankind.

Nah Baw!!

Not biting. You shouldn't spend this much time on a website that is suppressive and sub optimal.

You can thank your Christard cults for their tax exempt status.
