(mirror) Panorama: John Sweeney's Secrets of Scientology (BBC1 28th Sept 2010 9pm) Promo#2

[traida111]

i think his outburst was perfect, i mean the scientologist was quite obviously really bad at having a constructive argument, so in a way him raising his voice like that is a good way to vent the frustration in way the scientologist will understand. like if you want to communicate with an idiot then speak to him as an idiot. The failure of the reporter was that he represents the public, but the public do not agree with being silly and angry at the same time. I am not "the public", and i liked it

[billbow13]

your such a fuckin asshole u ass wiping son of a bitch u can go die in the pits of HELL

[lickstickly]

@billbow13 who are you referring to?

[grai]

Sweeney is a lightweight and all he is doing is a big long commercial for scientology

I wouldnt be suprised if Sweeney is a double agent - pretending to be against them as a tactic for giving them publicity

the end result is the same

If youre going to tackle them and expose them give it to a heavyweight journalist to do it - not this geek - he's doing more harm than good

[lickstickly]

@grai i think he has done a lot of good exposing the church in the UK, and im sorry but the cult has been around for years and none of your so called 'heavyweight journalists' have had the balls to take them on

[indianagregg]

It's soooo funny, the church of Scientology have paid for google adwords so that nearly everyone in the UK sees their advert (since panorama was on BBC last night!) What a bunch of crazy people. I think Sweeney was totally right to lose the plot. These people are nuts!

[xjames118]

I've always believed that it's better for people to have a religion -any religion, no matter how contrived- because it shows they have an imagination & an inner life. But scientology pushes even my patience. It's as though it was designed specifically to be mocked and mistrusted. Having aliens as prophets? Having Xena Warrior Princess would be less incredulous. Having a very elaborate religion spearheaded by a hack sci-fi author? Couldn't be more contrived. I want to eat their insanity.

[MrGambaplop]

when i tried to post a comment onto a video of a feeble character assasination of Mr. Sweeny on a scientology youtube channel ironically named the "freedom magazine" it was taken down. but if they see this they might put it back up, otherwise they'd be seen as a cult corperation, which, to be fair... they are

[19stuart73]

i watched this last night.... really miss Tommy hahahahahah

[quentinkrisp]

Have you seen scientology's hillarious response? They've paid for google adwords so that some critics get google ads for the cult's "panorama lies lies Lies!!!" propaganda website/video. I advise everyone to see it. It's mental

It might look like they're taking a shit on your living room carpet but two phrases spring to mind:

1) Never interrupt your opponent when they are destroying themselves, and..

2) Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

[bikeguy98]

Awesome.  Yesterday, on Canada's CBC News Network, "Scientology, The Ex-Files" was shown. Looking forward to this one.

[dookiecheez]

>_< Fuck the CDC or whatever is blocking BBC content from being viewed here in Canada. Such Bs...

[HibeeMark1875]

I heard that Scientologists are encouraged to engage in sexual activity with dogs?

[adammiller84]

the cult of $CI£NTOLOGY needs to be made illegal in the uk before more brainwashed lives and familys are ruined! good on ya john!

[89murph]

John Sweeney is friend of anon. :3

[sl0beck]

I cant wait /popcorn

[LFraudHubbard]

They must really be scrambling today.

[cheappassion]

This is going be the be...um, I think it will be cool.  Can't wait.

[propjam2]

YAAY ROUND TWO ' DING DING' thankyou BBC!

[quentinkrisp]

On EireAnon youtube channel there's a new except from the new Panorama Secrets of Scientology programme. UK viewers can also see it on the BBC link currently near the top of my video description.

[ToryMagoo44]

I was in the van with John Sweeney, while C of $ was chasing him, for any lurkers who were told "That's just a lie". However, I'm an "SP"---so why listen to me, eh?

I guess you'll have to listen to the BBC show---but you can't, right? WTFU!

Love to all----and my best to John!! :)

[quentinkrisp]

The Sunday Times has an awesome 2 page spread today on the Panorama programme. If you have a subscription you can read it online at the Sunday Times website.

[quentinkrisp]

26/9/2010 - BBC News article link added into the video description. Check it out. The cult must be extremely worried about this documentary. They are using Carter-Ruck lawyers in the UK, well known for trying to spike news stories that threaten to expose big organisation's criminal and unethical behaviour.

[criticaltinker1]

I shall watch - now my critical thinking is back - thankyou quentin.

[DoubleKarma77]

You got the names mixed up dude lol. This video is the FIRST promo

[quentinkrisp]

@DoubleKarma77 No it isn't. It's the 2nd released on Youtube 23rd sept. The other one was released on the 15th. See the BBCpanorama youtube channel. What order they might have started showing them on TV I don't know.

[quentinkrisp]

A FEW SCIENTOLOGITS (intentional typo) JUST STARTED GIVING THIS AND THE OTHER PROMO VIDEO THE THUMBS DOWN. HAHAHA. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW, CULT OF FAIL. NO BALLS TO MAKE A COMMENT AS TO PRECISELY WHY YOU DISLIKE IT? COME ON, I PROMISE I WON'T MENTION XENU, THE INTERGALACTIC OVERLORD IN YOUR OT-III, WHO SOLVED AND OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM BY SENDING A LOAD OF THEM TO EARTH IN A DC8 WITH ROCKET ENGINES AND BLEW THEM UP IN VOLCANOS AND HOW YOU YOU ARE INFESTED WITH THEIR DEAD "THETAN" SOULS

[hotscubagreg]

@quentinkrisp That's funny, I just started to look at the comments because of the thumbs down numbers. But you are right no negitive comments, I so can't wait for this show.

[propjam2]

@quentinkrisp

"CULT OF FAIL" ha ha ha ha ha your a genius! ( and i'm not being sarcastic, i really do mean it)

[arniemazmax]

@quentinkrisp That explains the greys then or lizards etc :)

[TheSpiderMind]

love it, well done to spark interest.

[MysteryOfTheFence]

Looking forward to seeing more Xenu related absurdity!

[AnniaLilith]

-Is too good to be true!!!- Love the music

[ScientologyPhishing]

Quite honestly, i almost laid an egg, AGAIN! Woohooo!

[Redshift21]

Wow I didn't even recognise Mike Rinder at first, he looks ill

[Rockyj2]

@Redshift21

From being in RPF + diet of beans & rice will do that.

He was probably gassy too.

[Redshift21]

@Rockyj2 LoL, stinky Rinder

[quentinkrisp]

Somewhere in a California cult desert compound, a little dwarf is about to assplode.

[TheEvilOfScientology]

Rinder looks so gaunt in that 2007 video. Pretty sad to see.

Buy hey, who gives a shit.... Here comes PANORAMAAAAAAAA! :)

[xenusphere]

I'm wondering what the cult will bring up next to try and stop the special to be aired.

They already accused BBC of terrorism and encouraged scientologists not to watch the show. What next? Thetans blocking the transmission?

[mebeluvined]

Damn, it's blocked here!

[quentinkrisp]

@mebeluvined There is an alternative mirror on videtiz(dot)com. See video description for direct link.

[anonmonk]

woo hooo!
