What right do any of us have to judge?

Operation Snow White was the Church of Scientology's name for a project during the 1970s to purge unfavorable records about Scientology and its founder L. Ron Hubbard. This project included a series of infiltrations and thefts from 136 government agencies, foreign embassies and consulates, as well as private organizations critical of Scientology, carried out by Church members; the single largest infiltration of the United States government in history with up to 5,000 covert agents.

Mary Sue Hubbard, Cindy Raymond, Gerald Bennett Wolfe, Henning Heldt, Duke Snider, Gregory Willardson, Richard Weigand, Mitchell Herman, Sharon Thomas, Jane Kember, and Mo Budlong, all high-ranking Scientologists, were convicted and sent to prison for five years

Operation Freakout, also known as Operation PC Freakout, was the name given by the Church of Scientology to a covert plan intended to have the author Paulette Cooper imprisoned or committed to a mental institution. The plan, undertaken in 1976 following years of Church-initiated lawsuits and covert harassment, was meant to eliminate the perceived threat that Cooper posed to the Church and obtain revenge for her publication in 1971 of a highly critical book, The Scandal of Scientology.

...

However, the Church stepped up the harassment, for instance painting her name and phone number on street walls so that she would receive obscene phone calls, and subscribing her to pornographic mailing lists. She also received anonymous death threats and her neighbors received letters claiming that she had a venereal disease.

In its initial form Operation Freakout consisted of three different plans (or "channels", as the Guardian's Office termed them):

1. First, a woman was to imitate Paulette Cooper's voice and make telephone threats to Arab consulates in New York.
2. Second, a threatening letter was to be mailed to an Arab consulate in such a fashion that it would appear to have been done by Paulette Cooper (who is Jewish).
3. Third, a Scientologist volunteer was to impersonate Paulette Cooper at a laundrette and threaten the President and then the Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. A second Scientologist would thereafter inform the FBI of the threat.

All of the defendants were imprisoned, serving up to four years in jail. Coincidentally, they were tried, convicted and sentenced in the same courthouse that their agents had been caught burgling.

No, you are wrong. You decide to do the lotto of your own decision. The lotto will not tarnish you if you stop doing it. Many people who have left Scientology have then had leaflets sent out to all their neighbours telling them that that person is a child molester, killer etc. They discredit anyone who leaves, using their NON CONFIDENTIAL answers and recordings from the peoples audits.

If that person speaks out against them and their practices they become what the church calles "fair game" where any of the Scientology 'army' (yes, they have one) or any scientologist can do, and I quote from the foudner "anything" to silence them. He has documented ways of scaring, killing and maming people who have left the cult.

Are those the actions of a "Religion" or a worldwide group who are not a danger?




They may not have an immedate danger to Irish society due to their small numbers, however does that mean we should do nothing until they are a large and dangerous threat?

In every other coutnry they have shown their colours from their varied arrests and illegal activies in Italy, France etc. They aer outlawd as a religion and refused tax exempt status in Germany as their aims go against the Constitution (Their aims included abolishing the constition, which in Germany is unlawful).

The fact that high ranking (insane?) actors like Tom Cruise and John Travolta go around proclaiming the Church as being the "authorities on getting people off drugs. [We are] the authorities on the mind. [We are] the authorities on improving conditions."url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article3199668.ece]times online[/url is dangerous. They refuse people with bi-polar disorder their required medication, they refuse people with depression anti-depressients. They claim that Psycharists are the reason for the halocaust (They HATE psycharists as their founder was constantly in psycharicatic institutes due to him being actually mad (See the interview with his son I have linked before in many of my posts on these threads).

Im sorry but sitting back and letting people believe that the Church are a bonified religion who are not a danger to people (including their own members) is just wrong morally. The church constantly attempts to supress any sort of information and truth about their practices in order to keep up the mockery that they are not dangerous.
