Personally, I have no problem with Scientology in a certain sense. If people are dumb enough to pay for a religion, fine. I had issue with it being classified under the tax-exempt religious status, even though it is clearly a business enterprise. Likewise, I take offense at it's restrictions of free speech on the internet.

It charges money for basic services. That is not how religions work, that is how business work. It should not be under the tax-exempt status. End of story.


People pay money to other religions. Why do they deserve tax exempt status?

Question, what other religions make you pay so you can become a member?

Judiasm makes you pay with your foreskin. (assuming you are male)


Lol. That's hardly something that can affect one's livelihood. I should know, I'm Jewish.

The circumcision is purely symbolic, it is representative of entering into the covenant with God. At any rate, it's not monetary in the least and has no affect of taxes or income.


Jews don't have an internal tax or monetary system anymore do they? Tithing, for instance.


Not that I know of. Hell, I wasn't aware we ever did since the Temple was destroyed.

We're a community based religion that focus on social justice and bettering the world. Tithing the members just seems odd.
First of all: Godwin's rule, this thread shouldn't even exist.

Secondly, while hacking may be a crime, so is stealing money lol.

Hubbard didn't discover a religion, he just wanted to make money. Same can be said for any cult.

Well, its not. You might want to visit scientology.org for the real information.


Is scientology.org run by scientologists? If so, then it's unfortunately baised. Not to many people will say bad things about their own religion.

Well, the information that is purportedly criticizing us can be written by anyone, namely bigots.


Just because it has the capacity to be written by bigots, doesn't mean it was.

Totally KSW
Yes, true. However, the accounts of those who claim to be ex-scientologists is not very trustworthy. Psychiatrists have led them out of the church, which is why.


Is this absolutely true with all ex-members? And besides, who are you to say that the psychiatrists are completely wrong?

Who is behind the international anonymous young criminals? Press release and YouTube videos of Anonymous reads and sounds like Nazi propaganda against Jews.

Citation and Review Neccessary
[ Reasons 1 through 8 ]


Hacking is a felony. Sending white powders to harass, spread fear and overwork the authorities is a felony! To undermine freedom of religion is unconstitutional.

Taking orders from a foreign secret service to destroy US constitutional laws may be penalized by execution. (Death.)


Who's undermining that?

The citations for reasons 1 through 8 can be found on scientology.org. In fact, I am in the process of making a thread outlining the evils of psychiatry.

For the underlined part, have you not seen the bigotry on February 10th? What about their attacks on our servers?


For one a biased source is probably not the best for me to run along; I'll either have to review it and find secondary sources or disregard it as some of that information is a little drawn out and plays on conspiracy theory.

As for the attacks on the servers and the protesting the reason was clear; it was because the CIS has mistreated people, as have other religions, but it uses a monatery system to instill it's spiritual system and abuses the power of psychology which by the outside crowd is extremely abhorrent. Believe what you wish, it's not being against whomever god you want, it is against the methodology behind the worship.

That's what I figured. A lot of the internal taxes and whatnot would disappear with that Temple thing.

there was no bigotry on february tenth, just the distribution of facts.

do you like it, knowing that your religious leaders treat you as nothing but a piece of cattle to be milked for money?

1. Lies, not facts
2. They don't treat us as piece of cattle. We give donations, not "payments".

Very well, is it true that you must exceed a certain amount in donations to attain another segment of a course?

You have to pay money for the audits or whatever. That's not a ******** donation, that's a business proposition.

No more ******** tax-exempt status.

Kind of; furthering yourself on Gaia does not require you, at any point, to buy that letter. Someone must, but not neccessarily your person.
