If only it was as simple as just being gullible. Have you ever bought someting and realised it wasn't quite what it was cracked up to be? Of course you have. Everyone has. That's makes us all capable of being gullible. Some more than others. However, cults like scientology take this to a whole new level. They use techniques, 1-on-1 to "actively find your ruin". The use a bait'n'switch formula throughout to "find" and "fix" more of your "problems". Most people do see the scam but a lot don't.

scientology is a CULT it has always been a CULT. They recruit these certain celebrities because they have allot of money (to buy there expensive books and conference tapes). They also have allot of say in the community and being able to recruit new members etc. Scientology is based on science fiction philosophys and lies. Its time Australia wake up to this nonsence and abolish the church out of our country forever!

[2009Together]

You lost MF's ....CULT leaders love people that don't think !!!

[Anon7547]

YES, it is so enjoyable to watch the evil cult of $cientology die slowly from one thousand cuts. All of the lies and abuses are unraveling. I cannot wait to see who blows next, or which senior scifag implodes next. Payback is a bitch!

[lovelara2]

I wonder what was in those boxes?

[mollie2810]

$cientology is hurting people and the victims are speaking out? And I heard the cult was expanding like never before ... LOL

[EpicSwordGuy]

Squirm, $cilons, squirm.

[HookerBITESVince]

Kool Aid from Haiti anyone, lol!

Actuall we are calling this the "$cientology Holy Water Incident".....XB

[AnonymousElektron]

Scientologists have the freedom to practice their religion!

How much would our country suck, if we persecuted people just for what they believe?

[Zibathy]

@AnonymousElektron It's not a religion it's a cult. Delete your account. You don't deserve to have 'Anonymous' in it.

[analyzingfunny]

ok. asshole, youtube gareth cales and tell me if it is OK to stalk 9000 kids with PI. Assholes.

[AnonRanGER01]

Looking forward to this. $cientology in the news all over the world recently - nad not the way they'd like to be. Hehe.

[xenubarb]

The Scientology rote response to this, the New York Times article in today's paper, and a crackerjack radio programme in San Francisco today has been a concerted effort to discredit the victims who are speaking out. They are quoting "scholars" who claim apostates cannot be relied upon.

On the other hand, a lot of abusive husbands have been put in prison thanks to testimony from battered wives.

[ThePepsiSyndrome]

I'm not sure how it will be possible to cry, rage and jump and down with excitement at the same time over this report, but I'll give it my best shot.

[cultssuck]

"A storm has erupted"

And how.

[Thrashaero]

@cultssuck

hey just told you, "in Australia and overseas, the church stands accused of breaking the law and destroying families"

namely, since mr. xenophon of the australian government is looking to initiate investigations

[analyzingfunny]

Its not a fucking church!!!! It is a bunch of assholes who stalked Gareth Cales and 9000 other kids, then sent them legal letters to their home to enturbulate their parents. It worked. And they are a bunch of assholes not a religion. We are one massive petition away from having their privilege revoked. Assholes.

[Thrashaero]

@analyzingfunny

ok? why is it so bad to call it a church and a religion?

the religions are just as full of horse shit as scientology is, except more established and generally less secretive.

just because scientology treats it's people like slaves doesn't mean it's not a religion.

my argument is no religion should get a privilege of any kind other than "freedom to practice" if the practice includes actions on their own that are against the law, that's that. but not freedom from taxes.

[quentinkrisp]

Hot on the heels of the critical NewYork Times article today, the shitstorm over the cult of scientology continues unabated.

This is a must see. Brace for epic.

David Miscavge, you fail.
