    Hey guys,

    I really didn't know which section to post this in. I am looking for any ex members of the Church of Scientology, people who are outspoken and would like to be heard and speak out against the church and the organisation itself. The reason for this being as I would like to interview a person that fits this description. This is a an interview for a Feature article I am researching and writing and also this interview will be filmed on camera. The interview itself is not being broadcast on TV or anything. However, youtube will be made available at the permission of the person being interview. Also if the person would like I will make them a dvd copy for their own personal.

    A small fee will be paid. I can't afford much as I am a Media Student.

    Thanks In Advance

    Scientology is a religion, I have no problem with distinguishing it as so.

    yeah with very powerful lawyers, who bleed peolpe out of their money, make you use hospitals with doctors who are also scientologists. I've ready tons of horrible things on the net about them. Then again, the catholic church is full of rapists, murderers and paedophiles, so I'm not sure who's worse, maybe the pope!!!

    At least Scientology has some fairly imaginative bull**** in it, christianity has a space zombie carpernter and a talking snake, scientology has an alien overlord, nucler weapons, warships and alien infected humans, if you're gonna create a religion you gotta knock it out of the park from the offset with the crazy beliefs

    Same with Catholics, for example, the recently resigned Bishop Field:

    Born on May 24th, 1944, he is a native of Drumcondra. He was ordained a priest on May 17th, 1970. He is a barrister and has been called to the Irish and English Bars.
    , who bleed peolpe out of their money,

    OK we may give Scientology this one, but the Catholic church has been known to acquire the odd Euro or two.
    make you use hospitals with doctors who are also scientologists.

    Had been the case until relativity recently in Ireland, also let's not forget about the Catholic education system.

    TCD : However, it was not until 1970 that the Roman Catholic Church, through the then Archbishop of Dublin John Charles McQuaid, lifted its policy of disapproval or even excommunication for Roman Catholics who enrolled without special dispensation.

    Pope's *always* a good choice, then again there's Tom

    We've had numourous Scientology threads here and I don't recall ever reading something from an ex-member, so I suspect you'll need to go elsewhere to find one - sorry.
