Why apologise for getting angry after a man follows, abuses and intimidates you constantly. That Sweeney must 'apologise' is an example of the American infection in the world about what 'free speech and freedom' is. In the American definition, such freedoms allow what that church representative did - it's his right to get in people's faces, abuse, threaten and rant at them ... apparently ... as long as you don't cause physical harm. For a 'land of the free', it shows a very limited view.
Tommy Davis is almost obviously a verbal abuser. He spews word vomit at you until you break down, which I suspect is a tactic the "church" uses to "convert" people as well.
The most fascinating part of this documentary is how the cult representative seems to genuinely believe that by being a raging, stalker asshole he's making the church look good. But then again, he might be cognizant of this, since the counter-documentary being recorded by the cult during the film was probably meant to be viewed by cult members and not the general public.
scientology is frightening. what i dont understand is that they are anti psychiatry/psychology, yet there they are employing psychological techniques to break this poor man who did the best he could to reason and even offered to see their side of the story as well as others. i hate to say it, but are they any better than the nazis?

"I find it considerably obnoxious what you've done." Tommy Davis, Scientology spokesperson. Tommy Davis, SP. Now that people are putting the entire Panorama Scientology show on DVD and handing them out for FREE to everyone in the television and movie industry, and to everyone taking personality tests! XENU wins again!
The fact that you apologized, Mr. Sweeney, speaks volumes about your decency. Unlike this Tommy guy who liked to throw the punch but never receive one. You, Mr. Sweeney, are THE MAN!
Agree that he doesn't have anything to say sorry about.
Whilst it was disappointing a highly respected journalist like John Sweeney kind of 'lost it'. But as anyone who watched the whole programme knows when put in context of the intimidation and harrasment he suffered when trying to film it is hardly surprising. If anything he should incredible restraint, I reckon I would have probably just punched the little tosser.
Props to sweeney for taking so much crap from that tommy creep before he freaked out. I am not a violent person but I think I would have simply punched tommy in the face to make him shut up for a few seconds. A human being can only take so much crap.
You have my full respect Mr Sweeney. I don't think anyone could stand that little shit Tommy Davis for any longer than you did. If he could ever just shut up and listen for just a few minutes... Kudos to Mr Sweeney!
What the hell is wrong with the world today. ?? I'm very surprised that John Trovolta is involved with Scientology as well as Kirsty Ally and other well known celebs. What the hell are they thinking.? They also follow and harras you if you don't agree with them WHAT WEIRDOS!. Why can't these celebs be a better influence on the public as well as that find somthing better to do with their money that dosen't kill, bankrupt or harras people.
@RaynorX Just don't talk with anyone critical of the church, Tommy Davis would say that you're being bigoted. And David Miscavige will beat the shit out of you.
@RaynorX Nah, I'm just exaggerating. They'll probably just steal your stationery, write a bomb threat to the Isreali embassy and try to have you thrown in jail or incarcerated.
@JessicaSideways or hack your computer and sign you up to a child porn ring more likely. They don't want to just get rid of you, they want to make you stop yourself as well.
All Sweeney's outburst demonstrates is that he is human, and that his human mind with the capacity of rational and independent thought( rather important to the profession of journalism), is rejecting the bald, aggressive attempts of Davis, to twist words and situations. Davis really sounds like a ten year old in most interviews, just short of stamping his foot.
had my mind blown...scientology may be the scariest proof of mankind's demise into idiocy and its abject willingness to take complete advantage of others. Seriously insane. John Sweeney, keep doing what you are doing. You may be a great pioneer into the exposure and ultimate demise of this criminal cult known as Scientology
@cstorm17 Well, Scientology is only doing what Christianity would do if it were in the same position. Jesus, Xenu, what's the bloody difference? Except we live in an age of religious oversaturation and better technology.
sweeney has nothing to apologize for. Bloody Scientology should close shop, they need to stop attempting to slide unnoticed into the class of religion. Looks like a cult, sounds like a cult....low and behold a bloody cult
Scientologists use the EXACT SAME techniques that the Obama Admin. and the Democrat Party do in the USA. Anyone who criticizes them is a "bigot" or a "racist" or "Hitler". EXACT SAME rhetorical technique. And if Fox News dares report honestly about them, or ask hardball questions the lap dog MSM is SCARED to ask, Fox gets slandered, or labeled "biased and unfair" and "not really news". This is very eye-opening to those with eyes to see.
@03185212345 Fox News doesn't report honestly, period. Fox News is biased, unfair and more like slapstick entertainment than news. It's just scary that there are people who believe that crap.
tommys a fuckin idiot. he pisses me off he can go yell at other people and acts like he knows everything but if someone tries to say something to him he wont listen. hes a hypocritical dick
IMAGINE HIM AS A LITTLE BOY, AND HIS MOTHER HAS ASKED HIM TO TIDY HIS ROOM, 4 DAYS LATER HE IS STILL TALKING AAAAAAAGH, HE IS SO ANNOYING, NO WONDER JOHN SWEENEY FINALLY LOST IT. I THINK THE MANS PATIENCE IS INCREDIBLE. I HAVE HAD A SMIDGEON TO DO WITH THEM, AND THEY ALL TALK OVER YOU, AROUND YOU , UNDER YOU ETC. BUT NEVER DO THEY HAVE WHAT IS KNOWN IN THE REAL WORLD, A CONVERSATION, FUNNY ABOUT THAT ISNT IT, (and yes, the capitals are shouting, just like that fool tommy james does)
@thefairlysimple1 No, he's not going to talk, he's going to shout and throw a tantrum, like he did on Panorama. I don't need to imagine him as a little boy since that's all he really is.
everybody, with a fairly good moral foundation, knows who is right here... and i believe, nobody in that situation would be capable to keep calm in front of a weasel of that kind. (the master scientologyst)
Leinicia: If a nazi does not want to be called a nazi, should you not call him that because he claims he's offended by it? this is professional interviewing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I did see the full "dokumentary" on TV, and I thought this guy was doing whatever he could to piss them off. If you make a dokumentary, you should at least try to be serious.
So maybe they DO fit the discription as a cult, but why use the word over and over again IN THEIR FACE if they find it so insulting.
@Leinicia He was being utterly serious in his attitude to the making of this seriously valuable documentary. His job as an ivestigative journalist is to INVESTIGATE allegations, ALLEGATIONS have been made that $cientology is a CULT , infact considerable evidence supporting these allegations exist. it would have been negligent of Sweeny as an unbiased reporter not to investigate this issue during the interviewing process.
I beleive John wasnt in the wrong there. That guy kept talking over him, butting in, discarding his points like he'd not even said them and was wrongfully aggressive. If he was the representative for a "religion" then what does that say about the "religion" itself? Im sure most people would have done that to such an obnoxious, self righteous twat.
I got asked to leave because i was 'making a mockery out of the situation', lol i was only there for a laugh anyway.And they do seriously get pissed off when you call them a cult.
Go Mr Sweeney! You kept your cool a lot longer than I would have, the cult spokesman was passive aggressve in his speech but extremely aggressive in his body language!
I've seen what this organisation came very close to doing to a friend, thankfully we rescued her in good time, though she was worse the wear for her brush with them. They are trained to spot the 'weak' ones and go for the jugular. These people shouldn't be allowed to continue preying on vulnerable people.
I have a friend who went into a Scientology office?/place?/ recruitment space?/ for a personality test and a lecture. He was asked to leave because HE ASKED TOO MANY QUESTIONS!
OMG really?! That just shows that Sweeney is completely right in his investigation! The way that Tommy guy constantly tries to intimaidate him by stepping up into his face is pathetic.
Because of the extreme wealth and obivous greed in the Scientologist Organiztion, it shouldn't even be licensed as a "RELIGION OR A CHURCH"...I'm convinced that it is a business and nothing more!
God bless Sweeny, as said in the post below he makes you proud to be British, we didn't take shit from the Germans and he shows were not taking shit from some Fascist religion. The day Scientology becomes a recognised religion in Britain is the day that the country completely goes to hell
Hahahaha, this scientology is just a big fat propaganda CULT (no religion) digging up dirt, adding a little of their own and release it on the web. No religion would do that. I think it is even illegal to post these warning banners around town about that guy using or possesing drugs. Seu them for smearing your good name.
Comparing him to Hitler? What the.... They're a secret society full of questionable beliefs, not a religion. Christianity, for example, allows anyone and everyone to worship or critise and they don't have to do tests and pay money. And what the hell about levels? Everyone's an equal dumbass
He reacted to a basic human emotion? So what? Its things like this that makes me thinks Scientologists should be dismembered then burned slowly until they understand their blasphamous actions. And trying to use the holocaust like that makes them even worse. Scientology is a cult, and a retarded one at that. Anyone who believes in it should be be hurt severely.
Its people like Sweeny who make you proud to be British. We dont take abuse like this. People who take on the monstrocity od Scientology should be applauded, From sweeny to South Park. If they want to be called a religoin, then they should act like one, not like some communist secret service. Every religon gets critisized, the difference is they take it with a pinch of salt. Cults dont do that, scientology doesn't do that.
I'd love to have a shot at Tommy Davis both verbally , violently and through the sights of a high powered sniper rifle.Whoops I suppose they're gonna accuse me of being a terrorist now
if that Scientologist prick kept following me around, interrupting my interviews, being as obnoxious as he was, I would've punched him in the face by then.
John Sweeny, you will be a hero of Anonymous until the end of time....but we still might refer to you as Mister Shouty...it just sounds so right when Mark Bunker is called Wise Beard Man.
if people put as much time and effort into loving their family and close friends, as they do defending and supporting religion/cults, the world population would realise they only need faith in THEMSELVES.
The tactics the cult use against individuals can be found in a CIA training manual called, nerve-war agains individuals developed to disable persons without killing them. Here they chose to stalk and follow this brave and decent journalist and get him to burst and put him in a bad light, if this is a religious act, I don't want to be religious.
No wonder he lost it with those Scientologists constantly harassing him and sabotaging his work. I certainly don't know if I would have done any better myself.
when i think of scientology... i taste puke. HEY if u wanna know about me u scientologist stalkers! i am a teenage girl in 8th grade. probably smarter than u dumbass brainwashed morons. and this tommy guy needs to get a life. hey if i end up dead AT LEAST ILL BE UP IN HEAVEN WITH THE REAL LORD JESUS CHRIST MY SAVIOR. have fun u scientogists with ur aliens haha.. ill pray for all of the people that have crossed this sick cult and hopefully wont have the nasties hurt u God bless and go Sweeny
Sweeny dont give up the fight, on youtube,us ordinary people cant do much, but we've got your back, dont let the death of Lonsdale be in vain. its all very well to criticise religions because of the way they act, but with scientology, what they are doing is just pure evil.
even though it may seem like clearwater is full of idiots, those idiots make up the tiniest minority. We got you back man.
Mr. Sweeney. Don't worry, YouTube backs you up man!
It's like a bad movie, where the government doesn't catch on until the last couple of scenes in the movie. $cientology may be strong and able now. But we're only half way into the movie....
God Bless you and Protect you sweeny, and thank you for talking in our names. I am a scientist, and Astrophysicist, and I believe in Science, and scientology is the most pathetic thing I have ever hear of, and i am so sorry for the needed people who follow them.
If that was me i wouldnt have just yelled i'd of kicked the shit out of that scientologist freak! its all the biggest bullshit i've ever heard and there all freaks! x
we need to keep ripping it in to this cult. we have to let them know that they are wrong and we are right. i hhave not felt such anger at a person ( tommy) in a long time. compleate and utter hipocracy.
Scientology works....right? When ever Scientology declares someone an SP they are in fact saying Scientology does not work. If Scn. worked then why don't they handle the SP so he is not suppressive anymore? Each SP you see walking around, that has been connected to the church, is in fact another Scn. failure. Stop declaring and start handling if you can.
i reckon it would have been good if john had put his fingers in his ears and started singing "i can't hear you" over the top of that davis guy. but seriously scientology scares the hell outta me, its nuts!
It would have been a better move to just act like the scientologist guy wasn't even there. He obviously wanted to get a reaction, and then he did. Ignoring him would have just pissed him off.

I think it is even illegal to post these warning banners around town about that guy using or possesing drugs. Seu them for smearing your good name.
Keep it up Sweeney.

Comparing him to Hitler? What the.... They're a secret society full of questionable beliefs, not a religion. Christianity, for example, allows anyone and everyone to worship or critise and they don't have to do tests and pay money. And what the hell about levels? Everyone's an equal dumbass

He reacted to a basic human emotion? So what? Its things like this that makes me thinks Scientologists should be dismembered then burned slowly until they understand their blasphamous actions. And trying to use the holocaust like that makes them even worse. Scientology is a cult, and a retarded one at that. Anyone who believes in it should be be hurt severely.

Your reaction was human.
Damn shame you didn't bust him one in the mouth. Would have loved to see that asshole crawl away crying.

Its people like Sweeny who make you proud to be British. We dont take abuse like this. People who take on the monstrocity od Scientology should be applauded, From sweeny to South Park. If they want to be called a religoin, then they should act like one, not like some communist secret service. Every religon gets critisized, the difference is they take it with a pinch of salt. Cults dont do that, scientology doesn't do that.

Sweeny's outburst was more than justified.
if that Scientologist prick kept following me around, interrupting my interviews, being as obnoxious as he was, I would've punched him in the face by then.

Tommy wouldn't let him have a minute to speak let alone sit in the bathroom alone without him talking. He's using a diversion tactic.

think for yourself, question authority.
if people put as much time and effort into loving their family and close friends, as they do defending and supporting religion/cults, the world population would realise they only need faith in THEMSELVES.

The tactics the cult use against individuals can be found in a CIA training manual called, nerve-war agains individuals developed to disable persons without killing them. Here they chose to stalk and follow this brave and decent journalist and get him to burst and put him in a bad light, if this is a religious act, I don't want to be religious.

Sweeny dont give up the fight, on youtube,us ordinary people cant do much, but we've got your back, dont let the death of Lonsdale be in vain. its all very well to criticise religions because of the way they act, but with scientology, what they are doing is just pure evil.
even though it may seem like clearwater is full of idiots, those idiots make up the tiniest minority. We got you back man.

Scientology works....right? When ever Scientology declares someone an SP they are in fact saying Scientology does not work. If Scn. worked then why don't they handle the SP so he is not suppressive anymore? Each SP you see walking around, that has been connected to the church, is in fact another Scn. failure. Stop declaring and start handling if you can.
