BBC Panorama - John Sweeney And Scientology Pt 1

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

I met John Sweeney. He is a really pleasant guy.

[Kaldhore]

scientology is not a religion - its a cult

[disk1able]

Calling something a religion, claiming to have all the answers and coaching/brainwashing their followers is a cult. I can't believe how something so sinister can continue existing.

Everything should be questioned and analyzed through intelligent and logical conversation and thinking.

[2Koranteng]

wow - I hope I'm not offending anyone but it seems to me that when someone becomes a scientologist - they start to become very defensive when questioned on their religion even if it isn't offensive

[SurfGreenStrato]

There is a good reason that in most countries this criminal/terrorist cult is forbidden by law. Fuck you Scientology-Cult . All you do is steal money from troubled people.

[peterikarlstad]

I may not have a lot of other qualifications, but at least I can take pride in the fact that I have never subscribed to any religion.

[kahuna3901]

isnt dianetics a science and not a religion.

"Scientology is not a psycho-therapy nor a religion" l. ron hubbard's "creation of human ability" p251

[toryboy69]

Scientology will die like a little b**** and I will laugh and metaphorically dance on its grave.

[benxander]

These annotations are kinda agitating and distraction.. What are you trying to prove with them?

[YTfancol]

There must have been a lot of noise during Tom Cruise´s birth because he is batshit crazy.

[FunkierJon]

anyone else think that scientology is a load of bollocks?

[FunkierJon]

anyone else think that scientology is a load of bollocks?

[Buzzkillskeptic]

Anyone else in the UK think Hubbard did the voice for Churchill?

[bopkick5]

look man- i dont know nothin about Scientology . But I know 3 Scientologists and they are nice people - so i dont really get da point .

You dig?

[swisscheesemarilyn]

BRAVO MR SWEENEY!!!! YOU ARE A FANTASTIC JOURNALIST !!! Under the circumstances, you were actually remaining pretty cool. The TRUTH was not perverted. SCIENTOLOGY IS WHAT IT IS. WHAT WAS SHOWN ON ALL PANORAMA PGM'S ABOUT IT, DEPICTED ITS EXACT NATURE AND THE BEHAVIOR OF ITS FOLLOWERS & EX MEMBERS, BE THEY CELEBRITIES, OR NOT. BEWARE OF THE SCIENTOLOGY NIGHTMARE; ONE OF TWISTED LIES, HORRENDOUS ABUSE AND MOST SADLY OF MANY TEARS.

[HitchHikersBlues]

Fuck sake, i didnt know Travolta was a Scientologist ??

[TheAsfaloth]

@HitchHikersBlues

There are loads you wouldn't expect that are.

[HitchHikersBlues]

John Sweeney is a legend !!

[HitchHikersBlues]

It is true though.

Religion is all about power and fuckin up peoples minds...

Right fair enough, if your weak and need a commune for strength?? your gonna find solice...!

But i'm of the opinion now, that Governments and Religion, are not our friends, their our enemies...surely we all see that??

[badgerfrommars]

scientology is the most retarted thing ever cmon a sci fi writer wrote a book like any other and people started living by the book.even christianity is more realistic than that. . . . ..oh wait no its not religion is bullshit.

[HitchHikersBlues]

Look it, I'm Irish.

Look at what Catholicism has done for years and years to people...

Indoctrination, brainwashing, and worst of all ? fuckin Child Abuse.

It's all about power and money... and now they're payin for it.

Well i say, good enough for the fucker's!

I dont need some prick with a collar who's never been with a women, tellin me how to live my life...fuck that shit.

[badgerfrommars]

@HitchHikersBlues scientology is the most retarted thing ever cmon a sci fi writer wrote a book like any other and people started living by the book.even christianity is more realistic than that. . . . ..oh wait no its not religion is bullshit. i liked your comment 

[HitchHikersBlues]

He is a great Actor, I dont care what anyone says!

[lurvelysooz]

I'd written Cruise off as an idiot-nutjob until recently. However, the more I read about scientology the more I think he was just an open man who got brainwashed gradually...Will Smith is/was a cool guy and if it can happen to him it can happen to anyone I should think. This is not a church, it's not a religion....it's barely even a cult....it's a business that bleeds money from vulnerable people who want an answer to a question that doesn't exist.

[HitchHikersBlues]

@lurvelysooz ...Agreed.

Tom Cruise is dyslexic, and got bullied alot in school.

It was after Top Gun he joined Scientology...

he actually said ''if it wasnt for Scientology''...

I'd probably be dead, or a drug addict ??

Your right though! some people are easily led.

And the world we live in today, People dont know where they are anymore?

[megaman2000]

Ive decided to start a religeon based on Harry Potter and should you cross us we will quidditch your ass into the ground!.....why not? this crackpot based it on his storys.

[oiyoumuppet]

Its most obviously a cult and has sad misguided idots who are followers....of a Bloody crank...Ron Hubbard..who made the whole thing up hahahahahaha

[spungie85]

hay, its what ever floats ur boat. some people its god, some its aliens, some its god is an alien and others its long dead aliens that souls have crossed the universe in a spaceship and dropped into a volcano only to be made into humans. leave them to it, if it works for them and their happy so be it. look at tom cruse. if he wasent a scientologist he would be gay. so it must work on some level.

[pennie246]

Tom cruise is a brainwashed buffoon

[darthbenedict1]

kevin hurley is proof that any fruit n nut can join the police.i could get a satsuma to join the police force if i wanted to

[alexdoherty1984]

What a bunch of mongs, how could you believe something so farcical

[JoshMendoza121]

I think if you can make a religion off of xenu

I think you can make a religion off my ass

rotfl

bahah XDDD

[newcastleBNP]

Thankyou for ruining that with your captions.

Thanks for posting it though.

[sof2finchy]

the church of fudge is far better, and is the one I'm joining

[TaleOfValors]

[Rubaducky2]

[kempsonmahn]

what a load of bollocks

[Kalimata101]

L.Ron audits a tomato, bloody brilliant. Next they'll be yelling at ashtrays...Oh wait, that's OTVIII training...

[Salacanda]

very small screen and your thoughts during the video are so distracting and annoying. Could not watch more than 6 minuts

[joyandian]

why is this on a tiny screen?

i'm going to watch the other 'scientology and me' post

bye

[ovavoo]

I wonder if scientology was seen at john travoltas sons funeral?? i doubt it, it would of been a hypercritical funeral of passages read from the bible...and why hold a funeral in a chruch if you dont believe...stick him in a wheelie bin...hes just meat remember no consiquences

[johnnyvi]

I lost all respect for Travolta the day I heard he was a member of the scientology cult.

[MrCuntaminated]

Ill call it a cunt because it is a cunt.CUNT.

[eb352mm]

celebrities are cashing in on it cuz they know you can make lots of money be decieving poor working class people

[eb352mm]

scientology is bullshit, just like any other relgion

[theboygee]

It's really not like any other religion, although there are lots of issues with all religions

[gina888warhol1]

when you take money and ruin peoples lives ,dont you think something bad is going to happen to you,ddddddddduuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh

your disconnected from reality for even giving scientology a n ame shame!!!!!!

[gina888warhol1]

CULT

[BenetFleck]

they kind of have a cross as their mascot.

[gcgwgc]

All religions are cults, if you ask me.

[oogerboogeroo]

Agreed.

[AirportMonkey]

Also agreed.

[sadhattersreturn]

All religions charge to be members, the problem is most people don't think that things like taking up your time, or making you a walking billboard are a price.

All scientology does is not hide its need for money and mental support very well.

If we can agree that a Mind flayer starting the universe is silly, why is an invisible wizard less silly?

[Craputubename101]

It`s not less silly, all religions are based on nonsence. Everyone believeing that there one is right. Just wait for all the thumbs down next to your comment.

[Killasmurf2244]

thanks for upload

[Cedde82]

scientoly is just like christianity and all other religions willing to control people like a cult. although islam is more an ideology than a religion.

[Craputubename101]

I`m an athiest but if there is any specific religion that is more cult-like/scientology-like (in certain aspects only) then Islam it is my friend.

[GuitarHeroKid7]

Scientology = : (

[CBCadet02]

If they charge you to be members, it obviously isn't a church.

[matthewsdeth]

fuck you dick heads

[BoombaGoomba]

Sorry....no :\

[Craputubename101]

No me auld pal, Fuck you!

[BritnyNoelle]

you know what they said about that girl coming around the next day begging to be friends again if she didn't run the story? One of the guys that killed themselves in that HaleBop comet cult did the same fucking thing when they were going to write an article on it. I think the dad did it anyways though because he was smarter

[ryanroolz2]

:L how cn it be a religion if they charge u to b members

more like a club

a bad club :D

[mib666]

Tom Cruise isnt gay, Scientology isnt a cult and the moon is made from cheese :)

[BoombaGoomba]

Scientology is a cult, Hubbard was crazy and the moon is made OF cheese :D

[sadhattersreturn]

The formula for making a successful cult/conspiracy is as follows.

Tell people there is something that is wrong.

Tell people this thing is hard to observe/find out about.

Tell people you know how to combat this thing. And you only want to help them do the same.

Finally, tell people that anyone that would contradict you, regardless of if they are part of the original claim, are somehow working for or with, this thing.

From alex jones to l Ron Hubbard, its the same crap, different pile.

[NorseRonin]

cool, i'll start my own cult first thing tomorrow, using your formula. it's going to be called "the anti-cultists" and i'm going to have people join it to fight against cults and anyone who is against my "anti-cult" is a cultist and must be destroyed. lol just joking, but the funny thing is that peple are sure to join if i was really serious :D

[Imariscent]

That's why she has that finger in back of the machine. To raise the voltage.
