YES, a thread about good news...or gardening or counting clouds. Anything but those "let's count to a million" or "say anything" threads, please laugh

Are you serious? Do you know how many lives have been ruined by that cult? Did you know they conducted the biggest infiltration and domestic espionage breaches in our countries history? LRH himself went into hiding for the rest of his life as he feared prosecution. His wife went to prison. They use forced labor, they will come fetch you if you leave and they are currently under Federal investigation in multiple countries.


All's they care about is money. LRH said famously in the 1940's he was going to invent a religion and become rich, well he did. He also lied about his military record, lied about war injuries he claimed to have received and that he cured himself through dianetics, the basis of Scientology.


I don't want to derail David thread because of this topic, so I suggest we make a new thread on this topic. Maybe I can even get Tony Ortega to come in and clarify a few things.

I dont know any of the people named ...lol. I am not a Scientologist fan or critic. I was just asking what SCIENTOLOGY as a group is guilty of (proven, not just claimed) that would cause such disdain by some people.
