That should be shaved anyways.
The whole opposition to Scientology is a curious social phenomenon. They're really no different than any other religion out there.
-Bilks money out of believers with false promises of salvation. Like the Catholic Church.
-Viciously litigates against those who criticize it. Like the Catholic Church.
-Conducts covert operations to hide its crimes. Like the Catholic Church.
-Thrives on spectacle and conducts bizarre rituals. Like the Catholic Church.
-Believes evil beings possess our bodies, and regular prayer sessions are required to cleanse them. Like the Catholic Church.
The only real difference is the Catholic Church at least tries to encourage people to be halfway decent to their fellow man. As opposed to Scientology, shuns outsiders and treats non-believers and apostates like they have the plague. Like Islam.
FUCK NO, I cant stand the bald eagle either.
Just watched it all, was pretty good.
They even left out some major things, I live in Clearwater, which is one of the major HQ's
I expected to so a few things I know of that weren't even mentioned to my surprise, like the whole .44 Magnum killing someone references and a few other hot spots.
I'd like to see them go down myself.
Why wasn't that a documentary by definition, and they did actually leave a lot of "spectacular" stuff out of it.

Why specifically point out "The Catholic Church"? If you say "no different than any other religion out there" then don't target one.
Not really, the amount of money they move around at the moment and people they affect in the background is pretty staggering, to a degree.
But I suppose a lot of Corporations do it these days.
Watched it and more or less confirmed what I already knew, it's basically a cult.
Maybe in another few generations it will become a religion but I'm not betting on it.
Of course a documentary on Scientology would need to have "spectacular stuff" wouldn't it? Why else would any such film get funded?
I haven't seen the "documentary" and know very little about Scientology but this is a hit piece. It was conceived as a hit piece before a single piece of research was collected or a single word written.
It is what they set out to make. Calling it a documentary is ridiculous.

I had no idea that their tax exempt status was the result of harassing and bullying the IRS with frivolous lawsuits and a PR assault for several years.
insane.
The slave labor, lack of any exposure to the core belief structure among the majority of its members, dwindling membership, violence and tyranny at the center of it...knew all of that.
Surprised that they did not cover the murder/"disappearance' of Miscavich's wife, though. In fact, not a peep that he was ever married. Truly strange. Court gag order?

1% problem...
btw does the documentary say anything about that alien technology they claim to have? is it like a little piece of goa'uld technology or the entire stargate?
Katie Hol..., nevermind.Anyone ever go to a Scientology church? are there any hot girls there?
didn't the Scientology have pit bull lawyers who sued the shit out of anybody who published anything negative ?
True. But it at least better be manicured like a nice lawn.
They need to be seen a corporation headed by one guy. the strict adherence to dogma classifies them a cult and their for profit maneuvers need to be looked at by the IRS.
