Scientology, Pays Man 9.2 Million for Abuses, Get Yours Too!

[porkmonkey]

You the man! Watch out that they don't send a thetan to Zenu your butthole! (I kid, good for you.)

[jdtrickster4]

"Not a thin dime for Wollersheim" went out the cult's battle cry in Lawrence's case vs the CofS of CA. These were the words Heber Jentzsch, then President of the "mother church," echoed or parroted under strict orders from David 'slappy' Miscavige.

Heber is presently locked up in what's known as the "SP Hole/Hall" -a room where allegedly (I believe it 2b true) the asthmatic dwarf tyrant keeps ex high level execs of the "church" who have themselves been SP declared.

Kudos Lawrence, you did it.

[hotscubagreg]

Nice diggy, you're in. Looks like a Burger?

[katzmeow7777777]

You did good !

[11Jamie11]

Good job.

Everybody else: your turn!

Sue them PERSONALLY. The individual is responsible for his/her own actions!

[sirlonghair]

I hoap you don't have to spend too much to fix yourselfe

[bmflix]

And it was news to you that Scientology was a mind-control cult? This is not a secret. Everybody knows this.

So...I am confused as to why you feel you were owed anything? If you join a mind-control cult, shouldn't you expect to be brainwashed?

[cgasucks]

Wow 9.2 mil!! Stick it to them where it hurts!

[YourScientoIogy]

thanks for sharing this with us.

[GetTheCans]

Nice. 9.2 mil is a good sized dent. I hope you are on your way to recovery. Scientology is reported to have the worst long term damage to individuals, and it is a real shame when people get trapped inside.

[traxdata2k]

The big problem is getting a lawyer who isn't afraid. - T

"At least L.Ron.Hubbard was good at fishing"

[vlcupper]

Good luck, dude. Your days are numbered I'm sure.

[doobedoo22]

Congratulations, and well done for discovering the sinister nature of the cult... and getting out! Let's hope that soon there are no new Scientology zombies.

[ericcartman321]

Congratulations for your fight !!!!!!!!!

[GetMeThere1]

Good for you. And it's good you're showing people that they can get back at scientology using the VERY WEAPONS (lawsuits) that IT has used against so many fair-minded critics.

[998987987698765]

Thank you Larry. The time is right for a Class action suit against the COS. There are certainly enough people unhappy with their church experiences to bring this off. What is needed is a lawyer smart and greedy enough to do it. Such a case could actually bring down the COS. There would be millions and millions in pay offs if the COS loses. Where is the legal representative?

[45564766]

Thank you, sir, for having the nerve and the will to fight.

[hooboo3]

glad u went corporate on their asses

[AnonymousHouston]

I couldn't accept money from the CoS, even from a lawsuit. Just thinking about where their money comes from makes me sick to my stomach.

[vlcupper]

I could, but I'd donate the majority of it to ex-Scieno groups and various other charities.

[jlm2117]

Good or him...seriously. 9 mill is nothing compared to the profits the "church" has gained from false teachings, abuse, and it's own frivoliss copyright law suits.

[edgar2238]

what a fag. ooo you poor dimwit! lol!

[KungFu17]

So, if they do have mind control technology that works, isn't that what someone is there to learn? I'm sorry about the abuse, but scientology seems to be all about control, and trying to use it to one's advantage.

[sanjuricus]

Almost....Scientology is about control alright but the only ones who prosper from that control are the Upper levels of the "church".

Dianetics claims to rid you of your reactive mind...your critical mind. When you achieve this you are no longer capable of being critical and are majorly open to suggestion.

Those suggestions invariably involve taking more and more expensive courses at the expense of your livlihood.

NOTHING good comes from CoS practices. NOTHING.

[macflyfilm]

Nice one!

[arkivx1]

Sweet boat.

[zolltan96jbud]

Lets all sue the cos!

[vlcupper]

I would like to see a huge class-action lawsuit by ex-Scienos.

[NatureLegalized]

Cult of $cifiers GET YOUR MONEY NOW!!!

Your loss, your pain & suffering isn't scifi, only the dark cult of $ci is PERIOD. Get what is rightfully yours.

The Ides of March (3/15/08) was EPIC WIN!!! and I'm so glad I/We made it to the PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!

[JimLloyd49]

Great vid, I hope more people like yourself speak up about what has been going on for the past 40-50 years.

[mayalove]

They will, and many have done so for years.

[tomeczek132]

He could buy a better recording gear with that kind of money :/ But if he is rich good for him :P

[An0nym0usMaN]

Hey brotha, can you spare a million?

[sanjuricus]

He is Epic Win Beard Man.

His win is beard!!!!

[spncr91]

Scifientology shall be finished by its own weapon:SUE!SUE!SUE!

[kingofthekrill]

I guess this is where Nancy Cartwright's 10 million dollar donation went to.

[tomeczek132]

haha :D

[ColectvIndvidulism1]

Politicians denouncing this movement are lacking education in this area. Maybe an e-mail to thier staff members would help. Not to bombard them, but to share info. Obama is identifying with the "struggle" of the CO$, he's applying his own interpretation of discrimination to this issue.Prior to this educational campaign, I knew nothing of CO$. Politicians are too busy for t.v. and internet. send thier staff a friendly educational e-mail, and educate them. Just a suggestion.

[ColectvIndvidulism1]

I am so glad you got out safely. I hope that there's records and files about who exactley they "fair gamed." And I pray that EVERY name is released to the public, so they can see just how these people operate. BRING ON THIER FILES!!! woohoo!!!!!

[tdragonxp]

ITS OVER 9,000,000!!!!!!!

[chanologyASSIST]

good for you!

any way we could hear some more about your background and experience there?

best regards.

[emprise]

Would you please link this to the defendsscientology chicks videos?

I'm glad you won!

Please come March 15th!

[samthehydra]

Well done mate! Hopefully all those who have left will get their money back soon

[anonymous1312]

Gratz.

[seattleXenu]

Keep fighting the good fight. Hope to see you out with us on March 15th!

[glgs44]

God bless you! Enjoy your life! ...and if everyone who has been hurt by Scientology sues, whew, I can't even begin to imagine....go go go go go!!!

[ZeF2007inc]

Congratualations on the success of that court case, now if you could just use some of that to buy a better webcam and then re-do this video =)

[Maylee92]

OVER 9 MILLION!

[Boombot99]

Huzzah! Giant win!

[mortician10101]

HIS POWER LEVEL IS OVER 9,000,000!!!!

[thirstthirst]

EPIC WIN MAN!!

[rametarin]

I dub thee..

Epic Win. Your new moniker among the Anons shall be Epic Win.

You're OVER NINE MILLIOOON! :D

[Wolvenchaos]

8 mil? don't suppose you could help me by sending $127 my way to cover my electric bill could you?

[wanu0101]

Well done!

[anonynonymousmous]

Nice ship Lawrence! I see you enjoy the money you recovered :D - congratulations on sticking it to "the man".

[jayneshat]

I think it says alot about your character that you fought so long and stood up to such a vicious organisation. I truly hope others will follow your example. Good luck to you.

[nikkoleranger]

big win!!!

[thegentlesherpa]

This is wonderful, Lawrence! You are living proof that the CoS's days are numbered. Keep speaking! I want to see every ex-cultist in the world get rich on all that MI3 money!

[Twopints1977]

Excellent news, lets hope all those who have been abused by the CoS take the same action, they would very soon be bankrupt.

[purplegraciegirl]

Lawrence, you have cut through the jungle so that others can follow you. Awesome stuff. Thanks so much.

[Galactus78]

Congratulations on the epic win Lawrence

[ohbuddyiliketowatch]

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! make more videos!!!!!!!!!

[TheHappyRobot]

1. Profit

2. ????

3. Boat!!!

[Legio9000Brittanica]

You are a friend to Anonymous, congratulations on your victory.

[brvandal]

Lawrence, epic win for you! Anonymous is behind you!

[CyberChrist777]

Lawrence: add Chanology and Anonymous to your vid for EPIC WINS!!!

[Skintologist]

I think that counts as a win.

[TurboSpaghettiRobot]

Cool. With this kind of legal precedent hopefully it shouldn't be hard to start sucking the life out of Scientology's cash vaults.

[Dinictus]

Wow. Over 9 million. It won't heal you, but you just dented the legal juggernaut right in a kink in their armor. Congradulations, and best of luck with life, man.

[SpikeJonze]

"BRAINWASHING IS A CRIME TO HUMANITY!!!"

Sounds like your words backfired, Tommy Davis.

[mayalove]

I met this guy at the Frisco protest. I hope he appears again.

[gurutruth]

Lawrence Wollersheim got all his "thin dimes".

FACTnet is awesome.

Wollersheim is awesome.

Scientology = 0

Internet = 1

[makeitstopsayingno]

awesome, precedent.

Congrats, Larry!

[canadpol]

This is Lawrence Wollensheim

[fuglyto]

was nice to see you on the 10th, you happened to take a picture of me with 2 other guys wearing guy faux masks and i was wonderinf if i can get that photo.

[AnonyGrrrl]

Was good to see you on Feb 10. Hope to see you on Mar 15. :)

[Xenublessed]

Hmmm I refreshed the window after commenting and the view count went down???? By 10 I think. How does THAT happen? Also, The vid stops 1 second short.

[SauzerWoodget]

View counters are not automatic and the 1 second shortness is actually a rounding error.

No tinfoil necessary, folks.

[Xenublessed]

Using the courts to do the right thing. This is wonderful. Good on you Larry. Thanks for taking a stand!

[cutes22]

Congrats. Hope you can inspire others to follow your example.

[phasis]

Fabulous story! 9.2 mil. If enough people even got a percentage of that, Co$ would have to disband pretty fast...it would be poetic justice to seem them in bankrupcy courts.

One example: I would like to see some of the kids who had their childhood's stolen as they worked as virtual slaves in the SO sue and win big. Class action perhaps????

[boyknownasx]

I wish more people would stand up against this criminal organization. I do not know any scientologists personally but I pity all who are "locked" into this cult.

[akmikz]

we have to get this out there.. go anon go

[Anon6728]

Congratulations man!

[cbntmn]

Wow. This is a great video of the frauds of the cult and how they treat people. The more folks like this that come forward the more the public will know.

Perfect. Usually settlments have a gag orders but obviously this one doesnt.
