I hope the correct translation of the membership figures is "they claim 6 million members". The membership figures are based on people who made the mistake of given contact details and buying a book off them. Perhaps a more accurate estimate is by those who use to work at the top in the cult who have recently left and they say it's around 50,000 worldwide. They now include the Nation of Islam among their numbers though...
@anonymous1312 In fact he said "this church has over 6 million members", 2 mistakes in a sentence. But otherwise it was a good documentary and i was happy to see Mark Bunker at the french tv. I am going to mirror it. Thanks for the translation for whom did the translation.
@anonymous1312 The original French documentary really does unconditionally say "the church has over 6 million members", even though "church" and "over 6 million members" are debatable. The English translation of that sentence in the subtitles matches the French version.
Only the short sighted will believe that scientology is the road to fame, success and riches these days, sadly there are still a few people out who are that short sighted.
All scientology celebrities were recruited because they were famous they did not become famous because of the cult, quite a few saw there careers crash and burn, not always because of the church but certainly the success of those who didn't has nothing to do with the church of scientology.

@TickTockDM Boo, the ointment contains a fly. Ah well I guess they can't get it all right, they are French after all. :smiley:
