"Medical examiner Robert Davis (who actually DID THE AUTOPSY) changed his testimony from 1997 deposition given in the civil case and to strongly disagree that Lisa was severely dehydrated. Also he made a series of accusations against the Medical Examiner's Office's handling of the case and QUESTIONED THEIR MOTIVE. Davis stated that Wood was not present during the autopsy and did not consult him when she signed the autopsy.[27]"

People should read Marty Rathbun's blog entries on Lisa McPherson and the article in the St. Pete Times in which Rathbun said Scientology screwed up her care and was responsible for Lisa's death. Furthermore, David Miscavige personally supervised her case...and she died.

@XENUTV

The primary reason Wood gave for changing her findings was her realization that the microscopic slides of the popliteal vein and the photographs of muscle tissue in the surrounding area provided evidence of trauma which could explain the thrombus formation. She could not explain why she had not seen this before.[27]"

I've added links to the video description so you can read how Miscavige's fingerprints are all over Lisa's death.

Also, Val, did you see the latest article in the St. Pete Times yesterday about the star of Scientology's Orientation video demanding a repayment of money that Scientology is holding for advance payment of courses? It includes an audio recording of the meeting with Scientology spokesperson Tommy Davis that you can listen to yourself.

Scientology = Murder

I come from a family of old school fundamentalists, I mean handling snakes and shouting Hallelujah at you while your corpse is turning blue. Although my scientific mind tells me these methods are insane I support their right to practice this, as much as I support a Scientologists right to seek their own type of "divine administration".

However, when these practices are forced upon someone this ceases to be a matter of personal faith and becomes another form of manipulation and bullying..

"Davis never completed McPherson’s autopsy report because he was asked to resign from his position. The autopsy report was completed by his supervisor medical examiner Joan Wood."

@Galacticmaster no and no

@bd189 They are just single organizations wouldn't it make sense to get them all to do it so no one can claim discrimination? Also the Catholic Church I'd say has the most money, how they can rape kids and not pay taxes while the majority of Americans don't rape kids and have to pay their taxes just pisses me off a bit. At least this way too it will help weed out some of the corruption.

[bd189]

@MistressArte understood, the key reason i stated scientology and the 700 club is due to the millions to billions they receive compared to the church on the downtown corner. jimmy swaggart with his false apology after getting busted with the hooker, or ted haggard after the gay prostitute/drug bust and guilting followers to donate to them are just as terrible as miscavige doing what he does.

[MistressArte]

@bd189 Why shouldn't every church be treated this way? To me it's mind boggling that churches take in so much money and don't have to report any of it. They should at the very least be treated like a charity so that their records are transparent. It's obvious that the churches don't want that because ignorance to us is bliss. Like how most of the money that went to advertise prop 8 in California came from the church of Mormon. Maybe if people knew where their donations went they wouldn't donate.

This is why I live by this quote. If you're thirsty, a drink will cure it, if you're not, a drink will prevent it. Prevention is better than a cure. ;) This is why my only religion is wine.
