You got to go all the way back when christianity was first formed thats the true religion! These rituals made up by the chruch was not invented by jesus!

EVERYONE GET IN HERE

[JangosSoulja]

This is a nice show but nothing really significant is happening... Bread and circus for the people to chew on.

[vinnyteresi]

Christianity has been doing this for centuries. This is all bullshit.

[MixansFaith]

[Namaste1001]

Can we get rid of the cult of Catholicism as well and hold them accountable for their crimes.

[curlyqpd]

Why don't you just come clean and stop charging money for your information?

if it is truly beneficial to humanity then so be it.

Lets judge for ourselves.

Come on , Tommy! Let's see it.

[jhc1971]

I wonder if this happened in America would someone subpoena Xenu?

[crowley611]

HAH! they are at long last branded CRIMINALS!!! ha ha ha ha ha

[911warthog]

hail xemu!



[reemontel]

its funny how the fantasy online game World of warcraft has more subscribers than the church of scientology i mean they are both fake after all <3

[BloggerMusicMan]

Scientologists convicted of fraud? What a shock...

[spetznas101]

900,000$ ? thats nothing they make that in a month.

it should be more like 9 million or more,

or just tax them on all the money they received

[perlaand]

The cult should be dismantled because is clearly a fraud, a scam.

[xephyr1000]

Scientology, like all religions, is just another brainwashing business machine.

[LFraudHubbard]

It's only a matter of time before the United States bring's them down under the RICO ACT. [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act]

[Sportschuetze84]

SCIENTOLOGY SUCKS !

[nakizzimo]

Can they fine Christianity too?

[lezvarthok]

@nakizzimo you could try out to sue the vatican, or other christian organisations, your welcome. you cant sue a belief, only an organisation, unless your law allows to sue metaphorical unproofable things , like gods or aliens. they have been sued for the fraud of the instruments, not their beliefs in aliens or tom cruise or whatever.

[theo8989]

@nakizzimo

if it is proved to be a cult then yes they can. They ban and fine Scientology due to evidence that they in order to prove that they are a cult

[theo8989]

This is the difference between France and the rest of the western countries. Being Half french half English i see both sides of the culture. The main difference is the french take 0 crap from anyone or anybody no matter what position you are. I would love to see on of Scientology come to france to protest just to see them get smacked right back into their place! France is an example that should be followed across the world in regards to Scientology.Show 0 fear and put them in their place!

[sooperfukker]

@theo8989

well you wish that would go for all dangerous movements like islam as well.

[theo8989]

@sooperfukker

Now no longers has a culture to celebrate when people come to England they think of pubs and alcohol we are far more than that, we have a vast amount of history and cultural traditions yet they have been diluted. Now in certain parts of london we cannot celebrate christmas, we have to call it "White snow" we are unable to celebrate easter in order not to upset the islam religition. I am not racist but i am tired of one half of my culture is dying while the other one is protected

[sooperfukker]

@theo8989

well honestly, i loved to visit britain in the past 20 years and i always gave london a visit...

but i don't think britain is a good place anymore because you people have somehow been overswamped with hostile tendencies over the past few years.

it's not like you couldn't do anything, but you gotta show some balls in the end. as little as you might like it, but if the only political force in the country opposing these tendencies is the BNP, then vote for them...

sucks,but necessary.

[theo8989]

@sooperfukker

I would never ever ever vote for the BNP I am not a nationalist. But I am a firm believer to stand up for what you believe in. And in regards to britain etc... we don't fight enough, people will mention they are un-happy but never do anything. But it is not even about that it is just for example the french invest heavily in declining markets in france such as wine and cheese in order to maintain the way these products were produced years ago. It is part of their culture and thus

[sooperfukker]

@theo8989

i know what you mean, but as long as we don't live in real democracies where the people make the rules, you need to take the reroute through the parliaments.

if your most pressing matters are not represented by established parties, you might have to swallow a bitter medicine, because otherwise you will REMAIN unheard, maybe until it is too late.

from what i see, lots of western countries suffer from that illness, but britain is certainly ahead of the non-movement. bad bad bad.

[theo8989]

@sooperfukker

defend it

[ToryMagoo44]

Scientology could literally burn down to the ground, and they'd have a sign popping up saying "We won". They're NUTS. TLC

[ToryMagoo44]

Wonderful news! I escaped out of Scientology in 2000----they are mind controlled people who have no clue what their founder did, and still don't know what their head of Scientology does that's SO abusive. Google is your friend: Use it.

[OpenComments]

The Church of Scientology adopted a "hardball" campaign vs the IRS during the 1980s and early 1990s, which exerted maximum pressure vs the IRS. None of the following is disputed by Scientology officials and some of it was boasted about by David Miscavige in his October 1993 speech:

- The IRS and its individual officers were sued for $128m.

- 2,500 lawsuits were launched vs the IRS.

- Private detectives were employed to find out what "crimes" IRS officials were guilty of in their private lives.

[barry9003]

"organized fraud" - a very accurate description of Scientology

[freddysnotdead]

that cult is circling the drain...

[ericcartman321]

$cientology = Fraud

[mmmmmarcus]

Lisa mcPherson was murdered by the church of scientology. Meanwhile, the corporate media focused on her husband, and pushed the murder under the rug. Unfortunately, that rug has to be lifted up by the stern homeowner sometime! Scientology is nothing more than a violent, sadistic cult that preys on the stupid, the mentally Ill, and Benefits only miscreants.

[g2g0]

Good to see your still going strong open comments,. Screw scientology and i cant wait till it's outlawed her in aussie land.

[Balian49]

A good day for humanity

[TheYoRomeo]

ANY opinion of "Intelligent Design" becomes a religion. IMO

I can only accept the fact that the ONLY truth of ANYTHING exists in the mind of myself and yourself.

I do agree, however, that if one wants to leave a belief, they should get their money back!

[MrTolesi]

All you need to do is go see HUbbard, the nasty kook who founded $cientology, @ "The Shrinking World of L Ron Hubbard" right here on YouTube. WHAT a scam & scammer - it's just amazing

[Quasimodo1z1]

Xenu was according to Scientology founder and science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of his people to Earth in a DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs.

Hello sylvia standard, director of the pr of the cult at DC.

[Metalreaper007]

What "religion" gets convicted as fraud? No real religion I know. Fuck $cientology!

[thomas242007]

agree with you 100% far as i know no real christian church has ever been convicted of fraud i may be wrong but ive never nheard of it nor have i ever heard of anybody dying from being involved with a real christian church scientology is a scam and for people who have no self esteem,worth and whatever scientology is a joke religion I agree fuck scientology

[Biancanon]

^^ loving the publicity....

[ghummybears]

Honestly, I think this is sad. In this day and age, a legal system  judges that a religion is fraudulent over one person's regret. There are many Scientologists, I have read about who reap real benefits from their faith and grow as they apply it on their daily life. Well, don't just listen to me..I came across an article that shows CoS official statement about the issue: Google "msnbc scoop scientology"

[RicoDawn]

I think your comment was defending Scientology.

If so, to contrast, I learned that the COS has murdered some of its members in the past.

Hope you find this information useful.

[fogofwar3]

CO$ is a cult not a religion. Read the chapter on cults in any undergrad social psychology textbook and you will understand the difference.

[OpenComments]

Freedom of religion does not mean freedom to commit crimes in the name of religion. The abuses, corruption, embezzlement, extortion, blackmail and the mind-control practices of Scientology have to be stopped for the sake of all humanity. People have died, families across the world are divided by "disconnection." David Miscavige has mobilized numerous private investigators and spent some $10 million already to discredit, harass and silence key whistle blowers.

[kingazzaman]

10 million members!

LMAO!

They might have 50 - 60 thousand active paying members.

10 million!!!??? Oh that's classic! LOL

[kingazzaman]

Here's an example....

Scientology claimed it had 125 thousand members in Australia. But....every 4 years we have a national census which must be filled out by law.

Just under 2000 people proclaimed themselves Scientologists. 2000!

Now, remember that Aussies love to joke and write Jedi as their religion so how many do you think wrote "scientologist" for a laugh?

The local org in my state has had the same glassy eyed dozen or so people in their dreary old building for the last 20 yrs!

[fogofwar3]

Now they have one less after murdering that Australian sodier...

[kingazzaman]

Yeah, they don't know it yet but they FUCKED UP on that one. The media hasn't really caught up with that one here in Australia but once they do, people are going to lose their fucking minds.

Soldiers are as sacred as priests in Australia and to mess with them is have your arse handed to you by the public.

As usual, the foot-bullet cult takes a short-sighted, smart-ass view of what they think they can get away with - and once again they will exposed for the creeps they are.

Tic toc.

[funnystuff123d3]

IueHb3Xh-w0

[murk2002]

I don't know if scientology is a cult of not, personally I don't agree with a church where you are forced to pay money for their so-called enlightenment. This is the same thing the Vatican did back in midevil times.

[ldude893]

The tide is turning at last.

[samrobface]

you stupid sad fookers ahahahaha how DUMB must u be omg i actully pity how DUMB u sad tossers are

[anonamace]

There is no way in XENU land that there are 10 MILLION scientologist around the world. Just more scientology fiction. Like R6 implants and volcanic hydrogenbombings and the rest of their hypnotism base fantasy "religion".

[AnonRanGER01]

Excellent report. ^^

[73petey]

BAAAA HAAAA HAAAA!!!! All the stupid ass Hollywierd stars blow their freakin money on this heap of dog shat!!!! HAAA HAAA

[idebeep]

I love it!

A religion based on aliens established by a science fiction writer!

[yawawot]

The Church Of Scientology's Tax exempt status needs to be revoked!!!!!

[cunnamullafalla]

The so called "Church" of Scientology is a complete LIE. Its a SCAM, run by Tax dodging BASTARDS, who wouldnt stand 5 minutes in my town as we'd hang them for their dirty so called beliefs. FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD. come & sue me & see how long until i shove your balls down your throats. SCIENTOLOGY IS A SCAM, A FRAUD, A LIE, & so are the stupid dumbass followers of this tax evading SCAM. Anytime Anyplace Scientology, send your slimy heavies to Cunnamulla, & you'll go home in body bags. NO LIE

[CopperheadTM]

How is that different from any other organized cult? Oops, I mean religion.

[inkstersco]

Scientology charges you just for progressing through its stages of so-called enlighenment, sends PIs after anyone it doesn't like, smears critics using members' private confessions, poisons pets, tries to frame innocent critics for attempted murder....for a start.

[haythereis]

So you have a problem with Scientology then?

[krissurbrook]

whoa, I dont like em either my aussie bro, but chill. through another bud in the bowl! (I bet your glad I didnt say shrimp on the barbi)

[11Jamie11]

So tired of haughty atheists trying to say all religions are the same. Go sue the ones which defraud you, and win, and then we'll have something to discuss. Until then you're just demonstrating your own willful ignorance about what Scientology does which "real" religions (yes, yes, I know) don't do.

[ratfink2099]

we're ALL atheists. some of us just take it one god further. (not my quote, but i wish it was)

[laserofjustice]

@11jamie11- not all athiests say all religions (and cults like $cientology) are the same. Most religions today are benign, some even do good work for the community and in supporting poor countries.

Organised $cientology is a corporate pyramid scheme using hard sell, deception and mind control to peddle it's beliefs- at great expense to the rich and the vulnerable.

I don't go for the belief, but the "freezone" ($cientology without the corporate bit) seems benign.

[xxxguitarhero]

To all Scientology members

OTIII is about Xenu, your creator and he fucking hates you.

[TheSteakJustice]

YESSSSSSSSSSS

When I read the story about this, I started crying tears of joy. I know it's not perfect, but it's a huge step in the right direction.

I love France now.

[Supernova310]

How are you gonna deem one religion fraud when it does the same thing others do....ALL religion is fraud and you can see if you open your eyes and educate your self

[JHCJr]

Ten million members? That is about the same as Mormons! I tried to locate Mormon churches here in Indiana and found several.

I did not find ONE "church" of Scientology in the ENTIRE STATE! What a CROCK!

There is NO WAY they have ten million members.

[Nazz53]

Do Scientology ministers get paid?

[murk2002]

haha, what a fraud religion, if you have money you can be a scientologist.

[Supernova310]

All religion is fraud

[murk2002]

Well that's your opinion.

[Supernova310]

It would be yours too if you was able to put through delusion and educate yourself in the truth and history behind some things

[murk2002]

Don't try to impose your beliefs on me, you don't know what I believe. Religion does help people in their own way.

[Supernova310]

It may help the weak minded who cant go on with actual learning and knowledge My views are science and fact.... You may be able to say that If I was delusional in a different way

[murk2002]

Haha, science has not explained everything it's good to be skepticl and question, but my point is that going to church helps some people. Just because you don't believe that is ok, I'm sure your grandmother does : ).

[laserofjustice]

Church does indeed help some people- $cientology is absolutely NOT a church- it's a corporate scam!

[ramadee]

Haha, religion has not explained ANYTHING with proof.. at least science explained some things with proof .. my point is going to universities helps ALL ppl.. and thats not my subjective opinion.. its a fact !!

[murk2002]

Fine, that's your "opinion" I don't think people practicing a religion in a non-violent and non-corporate manner is a bad thing. You can make all the science explanations you want, but everything can't be proven or disproven by science.

[ramadee]

actually.. religion is a bad thing at all times.. it fills your head with myth and stupid creeds about nature and life and creation.. it answers all the questions you have WROGLY. It deludes you from the scientific way of thinking into a mythical medieval distorted system of thought

[murk2002]

Well thats you opinion there are studies that religious faith does improve some peoples lives. I'm not Pro or Anti Religion, people can make up their own mind. Where I draw the line is where someones religion turns to violence or intolerant towards others.

[dfrutled]

In the U.S 98% of all appeals are AFFIRMED

[Hkepfer]

One in Germany and now one in France?

They can be a religion and should protected by all rights of a religion.

Exception has to be taken to their use of the word church; church is specifically a Christian distinction and holy concept and it is not a building......

[AnonRanGERO1]

"This is really going to make public their fraudulent, manipulative, dangerous nature." Awesome quote from a member of the prosecution.

For the record, TorryMagoo44 has documented at least one phantom on the membership roll of the cult... Tony Bazazian never existed. It is a certainty that there are millions of dead, non-existent, or regretful former members of the cult who comprise that fantasy number of 10 million members... just another lie bobbing around in the fetid cultic toilet bowl.

[trojanspaghetti]

please !!! please dont let this be fraud !!!

it was founded by a great science fiction writer- cannot be fraud !!!

please dont tell me Tom Cruise and John Travolta are stupid idiots !!!

[flamingmonkays]

Wow, ten million members! That'd be impressive if it, like everything else the Church of $cientology says, wasn't complete bullshit.

[AlmightyAnonymous]

The United States and Canada must step up!

Bring the Cult of Scientology down!

[biib909]

@AlmightyAnonymous True. But EVERY country must step up. We must COMPLETELY eradicate the disgusting cult!

[lmm85]

OVER 900 THOUSAND DOLLARS!

[radio213]

WHAT 900 THOUSAND!??!!?

[cmbears17]

this is hilarious!

[avatarprimus]

i wonder if tom cruise is jumping in his couch right now? oh, sorry, he only does that every time he actually "fell in love" (with a woman) other times just jump elsewhere like travolta and the other scientologists. well done france anyway.

[PGY2J]

Life is paperclips

[Prophet6000]

lol

[jxsilicon9]

That ridiculous cult. With that dumbass,nut job Tom Cruise.

[binplhh]

At least in Europe unlike in US they didn't get the tax exempt status and are regarded as a corporation not a non-profit organization/religion (from what I know). There is no doubt in my mind that they've helped many people. I've read some of their stuff and there are some very deep messages in there but it's there to boost their credibility and enable them to exist. The whole concept is pure sci-fi. Overall they're scumbags who prey upon those who are confused and alone.

[UniqueExposures]

lol is this honestly a shock? these idiots believe in ALIENS and lie and cheat to con people out of there money.

[dackjaniels555]

Great news, This will hurt $cientologys public image.

But $1,000,000 is peanuts to them, Millions of people give them their life savings/earnings.
