[theoceanse]

scientology is cool



[admaildump]

Face it, this is a cult. Scientology is a joke.

[Montaigne83]

Scarlett, i think, is the most beautiful girl ever .. ♥♥♥

[TheKingOfRuckus]

I cannot put into words how sorry I feel for her.

[Montaigne83]

I WUV U SCARLETT ! ♥♥♥

[AnonOrange]

Has anybody wondered where Vicky Dunstan is lately? Start looking.

[ion507]

Scientology is a dangerous cult

[InnerSmile72]

I can't wait until it comes out that David Miscaviage is gay

[b3orion]

Over the last few years I've watched similar messed up things happening to a family of Jehovahs Witnesses.

Stuff like this has nothing to do with a God, it purely about the power of Men. Men and Women who want power and have found that they can gain it through fear.

[tonksloopy]

wow, this is really despicable.

[yearight1970]

but maybe her hard journey through life she will find God. And the sky fairies will magic her up the heaven.

[Mahoivlich]

Same behavior that happens to children in Mormonism, home-schooled and religiously schooled Christians for the most part, and Islam.

[symphonyjade]

@Mahoivlich That's not a particularly informed post. I know of many home-schooled Christian children who have wonderful relationships with their parents.

There are NO tenets in Islam seperating children from parents. In fact, it emphasizes the importance of a mother's care in a child's life and the presence of a good father. Family cohesion. Just because groups here and there twist teachings, doesn't mean it is at all the teachings of a faith.

Scientlogy, though, I can say sod all about.

[Mahoivlich]

@symphonyjade Religious brainwashing all around, not family cohesion. The only difference between this cult and the rest is it is new and going through growing pains with a particularly greedy leadership.

[scilonthreat]

@Mahoivlich That is very ignorant of you. I don't see priests running around breaking into FBI HQ and invading people's homes to kill their pets just for speaking out.

[Mahoivlich]

@symphonyjade of course they do, it's their relationship with the rest of the world that is the problem.

[MrAtheist1984]

Fuck this cult and Tom Cruise and other Hollywood assholes following this shithole.

[yawawot]

Isn't it interesting that Sarah McClintock says that Scarlett must be being told what to say. Yet I'll guarantee Sarah was drilled on what to say within an inch of her life. You see Scientology doesn't care what it does to people in the process of keeping the PR even if it's ridiculous and everyone can see through it. "Protect the church at all costs" is their moto!

[gir908922]

@yawawot It's a similar motto and behavior as the Catholic Church.

[cheappassion]

Lies, lies I tell you....Scientology treats children like cattle, and it helps people...  Freaking nasty cult

[goodinohio]

RPF for a allowing a negative story. Daughter speaking out must be a death sentence.

[jademm]

For a cult to order parents to leave their children then turn around and publicly question them for their "decision" in the media is despicable. Scientology doesn't even care for its own. Scientology is evil and immoral to its very core.

[jademm]

Vicky Stewart is an imbecile. I can't stand the way she nods her head as if in agreement with the reporter's stated FACTS but then completely disregards addressing the issue. Scientology's motto of "Always attack; never defend" is in play here.

[jademm]

No, it's not a "personal family matter" when the cult organization is responsible for splitting family members apart. Arguing about whether abuse is done "routinely" or not is splitting hairs--separating children from their parents for a prolonged time when there is no danger present is WRONG!

[lovelara2]

It's amazing how every scientologist has that exact same retort to the horrible abuses that occur "oh, i didn't experience that, i don't know where they're getting this from, i grew up with them and what they're saying is wrong, someone is probably paying them, yadda yadda yadda!"

unacceptable!

[ohbuddyiliketowatch]

wow poor girl, brave for speaking out and said so eloquently

[truthslayer9000]

LOLS @ 1:48

Thanks for posting this video!

[quentinkrisp]

This is sickening.

End that cult, now!

Thanks for putting the video up
