I watched the Panorama doc which is good if not brilliant - but the Scientology rebuttal is sinister and ridiculous, malicious about Sweeney and former scientologists while doing nothing to refute the serious claims about their cult.
And comments are rejected as spam, which is why I came here to comment.
its funny how "freedommagazine" youtube channel has comments pending approval, guess they are filtering out everyone who doesn't believe their character assassinations etc.
Watch the rebuttal video; frighteningly bad. Who did the voice over? Good money? So much on this video reveals the lengths C of S go to to photograph, film, involve Carter Ruck. Pictures of a bad man holding a can of beer - I see the subtle psychology. His two girlfriends? His address? The funniest accusation is of 'Turning up unexpectedly': pot calling kettle. The C of S film is hilarious, using techniques that could only impress the already brainwashed. Perhaps get a BBC freelance to do it?
Have you seen scientology's hillarious response? They've paid for google adwords so that some critics get google ads for the cult's "panorama lies lies Lies!!!" propaganda website/video. I advise everyone to see it. It's mental
It might look like they're taking a shit on your living room carpet but two phrases spring to mind:
1) Never interrupt your opponent when they are destroying themselves, and..
2) Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
@Worthog117 and i applaud Mr sweeney for his reporting, last time and this time, if any scientologists are reading this and hope to hunt me down, i have to say... london is a big place and where i am, you are likely to get stabbed if your out too long
I can't wait to see it! I just have to figure "where" to see it as I'm from Ontario. Oh, just in case any Scientologists read this and want to video tape me I'll give you my home address. Don't worry about my height/weight (6'2, 285 lbs) and the fact I can do multiple reps lifting the back of a car.
26/9/2010 - BBC News article link added into the video description. Check it out. The cult must be extremely worried about this documentary. They are using Carter-Ruck lawyers in the UK, well known for trying to spike news stories that threaten to expose big organisation's criminal and unethical behaviour. Woohoo.
A FEW SCIENTOLOGITS (intentional typo) JUST STARTED GIVING THIS AND THE OTHER PROMO VIDEO THE THUMBS DOWN. HAHAHAHA. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW, CULT OF FAIL. NO BALLS TO MAKE A COMMENT AS TO PRECISELY WHY YOU DISLIKE IT? COME ON, I PROMISE I WON'T MENTION XENU, THE INTERGALACTIC OVERLORD IN YOUR OT-III, WHO SOLVED AN OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM BY SENDING A LOAD OF THEM TO EARTH IN A DC8 WITH ROCKET ENGINES AND BLEW THEM UP IN VOLCANOS AND HOW YOU YOU ARE INFESTED WITH THEIR DEAD "THETAN" SOULS
A new BBC Panorama John Sweeney promo is out. See the BBCPanorama YouTube channel or if you have country restrictions see the mirror copy here on my channel.
Protesters against scientology will be out and about in central London, including their Queen Victoria St HQ, The tottenham Court Rd shop and their new "celebrity centre", on Tuesday 28th, the day of the broadcast, handing out leaflets publicising the Panorama programme.
Source: whyweprotest(dot)net - in the London "planorama" forum thread
Can't wait for this to be shown. Mr. Sweeney has MAJOR balls! The Scientologists just make themselves look MORE and MORE ridiculous. The 'non-speaking response' is pure child's playground nonsense.
I would suppose that rather than check each trailer, the BBC puts an automatic UK only block on them all which requires a specific removal - as they did in their reply to the cult posted Sweeney rant in 2007.
Should be good, with neither Sweeney or his producer needing to be brought up to speed on the sheer lunacy they would encounter they will hopefully carry on where they left off.
Let's remind all the British folks that the U.K. Church of Scientology isn't recognized as a religion but refuses to pay its taxes in Britain because it claims to be headquartered in Australia (but oh, they don't pay taxes in Australia either because it is officially recognized as a "religion" there!). When will SOMEBODY in government see the devious cult for what it is?
Well wont this be interesting... so far 1 scientologist has watched this video, carnt wait to hear from Mike Rinder, scientology will not be digging themselves out of this one, let not forget here in england scientology is not classed as a religion and this documentary is going to do nothing but explain exactly why this is the case
@analyzingfunny This is all new. It's an hour-long special (that's a proper BBC hour, meaning no commercials).One of their "Office of Special Affairs" knobs that was sent out to handle the Sweeney flap in the original show, along with screaming Tommy Davis, was Mike Rinder who blew the cult immediately after that show. Rinder features in this one but on Sweeney's side of the fence now, and tells all. There's interviews with other ex-executives who have blown/surfaced since the original show.
@quentinkrisp wow! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. this is going to be great. If you are in England, then please rebroadcast this (and promote it) on JustinTV. Do you have a link to an article about it? Just the fact that $cienotlogy made number 7 on The Citizens Briefing Book tells us something. I had to use my good name for this!
Wow, well he certainly knows how to respond to them. With courtesy and respect. Treating people the way this guy does really makes them look bad when they won't reciprocate such courtesies.
I consider John to be one of my greatest heroes! He stood up to the Church and he is back again! I look forward to the episode again. This clip speaks volumes about the Cult, ahem, church - Video cameras and much secrecy. Way to go David Miscaviage... Your drones dont fool us.
Great! The cult is once again displaying to everyone why it is, quite rightly, considered to be the creepiest cult in the world.
Millions of TV viewers will get to see these outdated intimidation tactics once again. These guys couldn't make it more obvious that Scientology is the whack-job's cult of choice even if they walked around with "I'm in a criminal cult" t shirts.
The cult can't help but footbullet itself time and time again.
This will be yet, another major public blow to Scientology's crippled and exposed reputation off deceptive and criminal act around the world. John Sweeny and the BBC exposing the truth.....(as Mr Burns) Excellent
