There are seemingly innumerable accounts of the devastation that SeaOrg causes has wrought on so many people who joined and were later psychologically and physically forced to remain. They strip you of everything and work you around the clock. Few are able to leave.
Not hurting anyone? Someone isn't familiar with Sea Org.
it was started by a crap SciFi author who wanted to get rich and told everyone the way to do it was to start a religion. So in a way you are right, he wanted to prove something to people
Have a read of Tony Ortega's blog, www.tonyortega.org - he is the most respected journalist on this subject, which is a fascinating one. Most people are aware of Scientology as a wacky belief system (and it is) but the real story is the scandalous way the Church of Scientology behaves. You could not make this shit up;…
@Drew,....yes there are real Scientologists. About 10 years ago I had the misfortune of falling in love with a scientologist, who actually purchased the e-meter and several books and tapes. This person lived in Maryland, and every year would go to the scientology center in Clearwater Fl. for about 3 months to get a…

Skip Scientology, join the Church of Pay My Mortgage. We offer salvation for the low, low price of $1,140 per month - bonus upgrade to super salvation if you take on at least one utility bill as well.
No way. Nothing I've ever encountered is on par with Scientology. Mormonism (polygamist or otherwise) doesn't contain nearly as much overtly batshit crazy, money-grubbing, gibberish as a foundation for "religion". And Mormons be crazay!
Well, the Ohio Legislature recently passed an law that basically makes it impossible for city governments to keep any type of red/speed camera.

your name says it all
so that's why he lead with the crown of his head?
Keep wondering why people keep saying he was mentally Ill. I think it boils more down to evil. The same evil choices that have us at this point now. Evil makes a sane person think they are better than someone else to the point they dehumanize a person and kill them. Cops and non cops do it. Whites and blacks do it.…
And laying a finger aside of his nose,
Do those Eagles fans know that FedEx Field isn't in PA? So many parole violations, you guys.
You can't make him buy a new Jersey.
