OSCAR WINNER PAUL HAGGIS LEAVES $CIENTOLOGY

http://www.xenutv.com/blog/...

Its a story that I believe was first reported by Marty Rathbun. He has been posting excerpts from Paul Haggis letter to Tommy Davis over the past couple weeks and revealed Haggis as the author a few days ago. Now the story has been picked up by Gawker and Radar among others.

Haggis very publicly resigned from Scientology over the groups support of Proposition 8 during the last election in California. But he also cites the abusive actions of David Miscavige as being a large contributing factor.

As you can see from my background photograph there is a light and dark side to $cientology. The light side being their MANY front groups. The dark side including disconnection from families, forced abortions among $ea Borg members, the Rehabilitation Project Force, making people work 12 to 18 hrs. days and being paid as little as 50 dollars a week and in some cases less for imagined infractions, deigning people proper medication or medical attention and the list goes on and on......
