Scientology's Richest Man 'Disconnects' from Church

[starlaxxxx]

@MultiMicrodot I was about to ask the same thing! On reflection, I would say yes...

[MultiMicrodot]

wait, did I get rick rolled?

[kramdoogs]

Who cares about this waste of human resource, certainly not I. It's old news.

[tryandlisten]

James Packer was NEVER a $cientologist.

[Allanlegacy43]

Really, Ron L HUBBARD hates gamblers eh. Tell you what go to scientology sign up with them and tell them you won a million dollars playing on slot machines and poker, tell them you want to donate the money to them but point out that their founder hated gambling and called gamblers psychotic just like a drug addict and that he would never condone taking a donation that was from gambling, just try this and see what they say. They will come up with 50 lies why it's ok in about two seconds, CULT!

[parker522x22]

scientology is a beautiful religion... and THE most respected religion known to man...

[kobebryant892]

who was the richest person again lol

[AresCassell]

$cientology loses again!

[jorologo]

If Kerry was still around he'd give James A Clip across the ear.

[ilovecookieslotsies]

do any of you realize how offensive this is? the comments; the video, imagine if someone spread false rumors about your religion, and yes these are all false, BS. Imagine how it feels to have someone say your religion is crap. Have any of you seen the movie big fish? you know how he's like

'Those parrots talk about everything, except religion'

'Why?'

'because its rude to talk about religion.'

Well, you know whats worse, making up bull shit about it and laughing as someone gets hurt

[Digscomics]

@ilovecookieslotsies Nobody's laughing at the people who've been hurt because of Scientology.

[kobebryant892]

@ilovecookieslotsies what the hell my uncle is richer than him

[kobebryant892]

Respond to this video...  hello

[NyxFTW]

@ilovecookieslotsies

Offensive because people are showing that Scientology is nothing more than a scam disguised as a religion? Then yes. Yes it is.

[MarkTimchuk]

Christianity is free....

[chype]

So it seems you can leave the church quietly.... If you're a billionaire

[curlynostrill]

Great ananlogy: Scientology is kinda like being RickRolled religiously.

[Bhoeble]

It isn't a religion. It only started to pretend to be one for tax reasons after being caught undertaking massive tax fraud and bribery and intimidation of the US Revenue Service.

[minnescanada]

Tom cruise doing the dirty work to influence other rich fools. Bah.

[Roxy4217]

James Packer not even half the man his old man was.

[anonmonk]

Scio doesn't care where the money comes from because 'The greatest good for the greatest number' Basically the money comes from gambling it ends up at Scientology which, in their view, helps the world (Scio). You can count on that!

[CarolinaSwethrt]

how would the rich and famous like Scientology if they had to start from the bottom like the rest??

[RedmanNov]

Did I just get Rick-rolled?

[halflifeproductionz]

james packer was a fuckwit just like his dad. rich assholes, dont give a fuck about anyone and now the dumbshit realises scientology was stupid!

[Bhethar]

GREAT NEWS !!!

[bugs232]

everytime i pick up a paper... this joke of a human being's face is on it.... do normal people really care about what this fuck is doing with his life..... if so they should kill themselves

[coderedgonebadd]

dude...you gotta give people time to read the info...gosh

[GuitarGirlWA]

@coderedgonebadd pause

[sodomiteslayer]

Scientology destroys people, families, businesses, etc. James Packer is one example, and should be a warning to us all.

[ACwonderland]

RICK ROLLED!!!!

[holyhandgrenade1992]

Scientology: 0.

Power of the Internet: 1.

[jayce79]

Scienctologist welcome him because of his money? Who would'a thought?

[01avin]

@jayce79

Any religion is based on money. How is scientology different from any other religion?

All these religious groups are fuckin weird and have weird people, no difference!!!

[pencon61]

Hubbard says gambling is pshycotic? That would mean he believes in pshycology

[jpuffster]

oh james ( Notice the small j) All Your woman r high class hookers. If you had av joes job you wouldnt get a fuck in a brothel .Hey remember 1 tell u useless fat sack of shit. THANK FUCK 4 DADDYS MONEY. how much left U FUCKING Looser

[08turk]

what people forget is the purpose of religion: it is to spiritually enlighten you, everybody needs this and people attain it through various practices, but we must not forget it is about YOU and what enlightens YOU the individual. Therefore religion is there to serve and enlighten you! You pray/meditate, go to church or other place of worship when you feel the need for it, when your finished you leave feeling enlightened (hopefully) and get on with life. Religion shouldnt go past this point.

[clumpft]

I'm glad that fat, bloated rich pig fuck didn't give 'em any more money!

[XpplicitLEX]

No one just walks away from Scientology, at least not that easy. Packer must have found something out, you'd think his net worth would be a definite asset to them.

[brikbeats]

wikid backing track

[Hereticshadowstorm]

there's nothing wrong with religious fanatics as long as those fanatics aren't organized

[Traceurb]

indeed

[11Jamie11]

Hopefully other money sources will follow Packer out the door of this vampiric cult.

[unashamedevangelist]

The Church of Scientology is a vicious and dangerous cult that masquerades as a religion. Its purpose is to make money. It practices a variety of mind-control techniques on people lured into its midst to gain control over their money and their lives. Its aim is to take from them every penny that they have and can ever borrow and to also enslave them to further its wicked ends. It was started in the 1950s by a science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard. Confess your faults to Jesus Christ!!!

[konman001]

Yes. . .Scientology is a cult, but at the same time there are many "Chrisitian" churches which claim that they are about Jesus but in reality do many of the similar things which Scientology does.

[MrWinston1984]

The difference is the Christians that do that are doing it in spite of their religion. $cienfictionists do it BECAUSE of their religion.

[konman001]

True - there are plenty people out there who claim to be for God but love money, lie, steal, covet what is their neighbors, commit adultery and murder.

The question then is: are they really Christians if they do such things when God forbade it?

[MrWinston1984]

I don't know. Why don't you ask him yourself?

[RedCrescentDemon]

I concur. A lot of christians are hyporcrites from what I've seen and experienced. They judge others when they very God they supposedly worship says not to.

[konman001]

Eeeh . . . that is not what I said. . . . sorry

If by "judging" others you mean "reprimand" them when they do bad things or "warn them" about some folly or following a wrong route then there is nothing wrong with it. Jesus did order Christians to tell non-believers about him and his salvation and to warn them about sin, hell and disobedience to God.

What I meant is that if a supposedly practicing Christian does not obey God's laws then he/she is a hypocrite.

[RedCrescentDemon]

What I mean by judging is by looking down on others who don't believe in what they believe in. And saying they're going to hell by doing so. Who are they to say who goes to hell or heaven when they die. That's god's sole judgment. And there are many christians who don't obey god's laws. That's why I don't take them seriously.

[konman001]

The Bible does say that those who disobey God & his Son Jesus will be punished by God - so what do you expect Christians to say?

Luke 13:5

I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

2Thessalonians 1:8

He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

Revelation 16:9

They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.

[konman001]

When Chrisitians tell you what the Bible says then they are trying to WARN you . . . not judge you.

Of course IF they harm you in some way just because you are not Christian or if for example they try to manipulate you into giving them money by making you feel guilty or inferior then that is wrong.

But really . . . after a criminal is judged guilty a policeman comes and puts handcuffs on him and then takes him to jail. Did the christians handcuff you and take you to jail?

[RedCrescentDemon]

True. I guessi shouldn't make a big deal if it's not happening to me. I jate how they try to forcefully convert you sometimes.

[eltzar72]

Thanks for the clarification, Con Man. ;)

[jayce79]

That can be very sad but true. But I think there can be a big difference between making a judgement and being Judgemental. We all make judgements every day , that's part of life. But the core of the Ancient Christian faith is the teachings and way of Jesus. Not what every person who calls themself a Christian might say. So if one questions what autinic Christianity is , one only needs to go to the Biblical Scriptures for those answers.

Take Care

[Christopher711]

Do you guys know the best thing about the 80s coming to an end? NOT having to hear this song! lol Bye.

[actualnothing]

What a great loss...All that precious money. D.M. probably had a few heads planted on some stakes for that!

[whiteboy1815]

Did....did I just get rickrolled?

[TimmahUK]

I dunno mate, i thought exactly the same thing, silent rick roll imo ^^ .

[1bugleboi1]

im really curious why people can be so gullible.... is it because of lack of attention that they're desprate to go into an unkown cirle of strangers? believing they're not alone?

[286OHD]

SOMEONE TALK TO ME

im on cam and bored h0

[shakeexon]

so sad all that money and still lost ...god is good just misunderstood

[ProjectUnonymous]

What a poor win!

If it is one at all.

Whats the point of the video? There is no fact at the end... only hearsay...

poooooor

[ckpeltomaa]

Okay, but I guess I make the distinction between the goings on of the leadership of the CofS and their spiritual processes. It's kind of like someone may not like a particular Christian church but they still find value in prayer and meditation.

Paying millions is just ridiculous because if one if interested in scientology processes they can find out about it in the Freezone for a fraction of what he paid into the CofS, and without all the coercion too.

[do0rkn0b]

@ckpeltomaa knowledge is free.

[ckpeltomaa]

He can get everything he got in the CofS and more from the trained ex-scientologists in the Freezone.

[Xaphene]

I don't care for video reading. Is this the 'new thing'?

[star234gurl]

what year did he "disconnect"?

[PCHavoc]

Burning doesn't hurt if you no longer occupy a body.

[frenzal01]

scientology isnt a religion. Its a cult/business

[Glacies12]

Yah i agree.

[Glacies12]

You obviosly dont know what your talking about.

If you can see a dirty meaning in this song, then you have a dirty mind.

[remmus2k]

Its Rick Roll, they play it when you prank someone.

[theOBSIDIANhorse]

go your own way silverboy, go your own way...

[theOBSIDIANhorse]

coralarch- I pray they become enlightened and awake to the worship of God through Jesus Christ. I don't want them to burn at all. Their salvation of course....is their choice. Perhaps Mr Packer did just this. But then again, maybe he just wanted to focus primarily on himself...who knows. God will decide.

[silverfuck]

God-fearing moron. I'm sorry, but going from one cult right to the next one... no way.

[coralarch]

obsidianhorse- you have a big heart. Are you praying that they'll only fry in Hell for a few centuries? LOL

[archronwe]

'Mr Packer's expanding casino empire has presented issues difficult to reconcile with Scientologist beliefs.' I'd agree with that. If Mr packer was into spirituality, not just OT power on top of $ greed then its a pity that he didn't put the money into medical research like depression & adhd & other problems that Cruise & the church talk about but never actually solve except to say stop taking drugs take vitamins instead. Cof$ only has half a bridge but doesn't lead to the full solution.

[xenu12]

This German documentary is a MUST see.

Search Youtube:

Inside Scientology Germany - RTL Stern TV - ENGLISH

[mollie2810]

[ThetanMonger]

[lockyer]

Ronnie's bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down....

[TheEvilOfScientology]

The new way to spell Scientology: T I T A N I C

[Keekeeleekee]

Everyone google and read the affidavit of Lawrence Brennan, 6 May 2008:

"hidden behind religious cloaking is organized scientology's intention to control the legal systems and educational systems of the world, to rid the world of its enemies..."

"It has long been the intention of organized scientology to do the above as it uses its front groups like Narconon, Applied Scholastics,

the Way to Happiness Foundation etc. to get inroads into society for organized scientology."
