News clip about Elli Perkins

Tom Cruise is a twat

Scientology opposes psychology for the same reason the Flat Earth Society opposes geology. While psychology did do some fucked up stuff (like lobotomy) so did medicine. No one opposes modern medicine on the grounds that doctors once used leaches.

So true.

I think you should google: "the brainwashing manual"

That'll have more to do with your claims.

Holy Shit! Scientologists and apologists, EVERYWHERE!

This tragedy could've been prevented had they done one of the two things:

A: Given him proper psychiatric care
B: Hospitalised him

But Scientologists are too fucking stupid to figure out that when someone is schizophrenic, they need attention by a doctor.

This case presumably is the exception...

I agree entirely. He should have been recieving counceling or taking natural "medicines" like Omega-3 (fish oil, which Americans and New Zealanders are especially deprived of).

Elli convinced the court to release him into her custody and sought alternative treatment, refusing the use of anti-psychotic drugs. Jeremy's defense attorney stated his condition declined over the summer of 02. Jeremy was classified a level III "Potential Trouble Source", banned from taking further Scientology courses. Jeremy has since been diagnosed "Dangerously Mentally Ill". Hindsight being 20/20, wouldn't you agree that psychiatric "help" may have been benificial to Jeremy and his family?

It would, of course, be ludicrous for me to suggest or imply that people diagnosed with schizophrenia don't engage in acts of violence. Certainly people labeled mentally-ill are subject to the same whims and quirks that all human beings are. What puzzles me is why his mom - who must have known about Jeremy's potential for violence - would refuse any type of treatment that could have prevented his violent outburst.

Amen brother
