Investigate them as a blackmail/pyramid scheme.

Between the Hollywood contributions and the appreciation on their multple real estate holdings, they are a very wealthy outfit indeed led by one evil, crooked dude.

Nevertheless, you have the right to be voluntarily stupid in America. Leave them alone.

Particularly since our biggest problem with government and religion right now seems to be a variety of gestapo-like human rights tribunals demanding that Christians worship at the church of LGBTQ.

I honestly don’t know why this hasn’t happened. I wonder how much power they wield in Washington. You could assume they have Hollywood on lock.

What about the children being raised in it? Are they being stupid? Or are they being indoctrinated? Is indoctrinated the same as stupid?

What about the kids being raised in Islam who are being taught to behead non-Muslims? Or the kids being raised in England who are being snuffed by the NHS? There's a lot of bad in this world. Scientology is bad, but I'm not even sure that it makes the top ten.

Is that happening in America? If not, not our goddamn problem. We’re not world Police.

Which cults are bigger than Scientology in America? How big is big enough that we should show some compassion?

Leah Remini and Mike Rinder have worked over the Scientologists the last few years. I hope they keep up that work and get more people to wake up to all that bullshite.

Apparently nobody has seen David Miscavige's wife in years. Someone should open up a missing persons case and dig deeper.

I saw a commercial advertising the church of scientology late night in Tuscaloosa the other day. In my half sleeping state, it freaked me out. Like I had some OTA propaganda probe injected into my head...

So anyway my first meeting actually went really well.

this right here

this is all the US should do, and then step back and let society, culture, media and the free market do the rest

it'll crumble to the ground in 18-24 months

Then you have to revoke every other religion's tax status too. The Catholic Church raped and covered up thousands of kids and they still aren't paying taxes.
