    Well, of course we'll accept that. I mean, it's not like Scientology goes around just making stuff up now, is it?

    They also showed a video of an interview with Scientology at Ocean FM at one of their major Scientology conferences.

    The whole thing was fake. Scientology claimed it was "re-enactment", even though no such interview ever took place.

    I think they're a bunch of trolls to be honest. They love the media being interested in them. They make such ridiculous claims and get noticed. They're kind of dull though in reality.

    Great, fair play to them........if true of course.
    Now if they stopped bullying, brainwashing and financially scamming people it would be a great organisation altogether.

    In Scientology's case it literally is the big man in the sky.

    Considering they believe that an alien lord brought billions of 'his' people to earth in spaceships that look like DC-8 aircraft and dropped them into volcanoes and killed them with hydrogen bombs... I'm going to go out on the limb and say that the article is bollocks.

    How come David Miscavige has not been questioned about kidnapping, fraud, disappearances etc? Is it because he has friends in high places?
    Do they still qualify as a tax free religion?

    Speaking during a New Year's message to Scientologists, leader David Miscavige said the "Irish mission" is successful, while also calling Ireland a "land of both enduring beauty and beautiful sadness".

    Dave McSavage?

    I did a college project on them... they do actually spend huge money on support projects in the cities they are based, mad as a bag of spiders, the lot of them, but they do some good with their charity work

    Hold up a second, I thought there were no more Scientologists In Ireland, according to the last census. Were they all out of the country that week or something?

    Their status varies from country to country.

    From Wikipedia
    In Ireland, the Church of Scientology has not been successful in its attempts to obtain tax-free, charitable status.[34] Scientology maintains a mission in Dublin.

    The above suggests that it's not a recognized religion, hence why there may be no census information.

    They do, afaik.

    If you do one, don't give them any real personal information. They'll hound you.

    I thought the Ocean FM thing was hilarious. Clearly, they were just hoping no-one would notice.
