This is what happenes when a celebrity remains insulated and surrounded by "yes" people for far too long. He's lost his grip on reality and actually thinks he's "superior" to other people because afterall scientology is "superior" to other religions, right? Ha. Mental illness is sad to see. Best thing that could happen is for some of his relatives to kidnap him and get him into some good therapy. Won't happen, but it should have long ago.

A cult is an organization that creates a totalistic environment in order to methodically psychologically damage lower level members for the benefit of "leaders," in a pyramid shaped system, the leader and his chosen on top.

A cult operates like an onion, its most benign doings on the outside, with weirdness and criminality escalating by each level closer to the center. Cults present themselves as wellness centers, managerial schools, drug rehabs, churches, and every other type of legitimate community center

In addition to "church," scientology has many other fronts -including the semi-well known rehab, Narcanon. Partial list available here [www.lermanet.com]

These front groups recruit outsiders. They are then exposed to manipulations that intensify as the targets become more subservient & vulnerable. Finally they are exposed to manipulations and stimuli that induce clinical brain damage. In this "brainwashed" state, the target can be financially, sexually, and physically exploited.

Scientology is more dangerous than the mafia, murdering and/or destroying people who criticize it. It is only with the advent of the internet, that it is semi- safe to openly criticize them. Even now, though, reporters and regular people are afraid to attract their wrath (as evident in the "disappearance" of the Cruise video -and any revelatory info about them).
Here is Hubbard's official letter on how to treat critics

It is dangerous to publicly criticize Scentologists, though the net has lessened the damage they can get away with. But even today,reporters and regular people are afraid of their wrath (as evident in the "disappearance" of the Cruise video -and all revelatory info).

Any committed Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist or (fill in denomination of your choice) is encouraged by their spiritual beliefs to "do the right thing." The world WOULD be a better place if we all acted on opportunities to be better people by serving our fellow man. Scientology does not have a monopoly on goodness.

True. Dr. So is a pretty good doctor. His english is a little rough though.

And, could he please complete a sentence? Everything is so vague. So David Koresh. So Jim Jones.

That's it Tom, tell them how great it is but don't tell them the specifics of why or how ... David Koresh held back on giving out that information as well 'til he had his followers at the compound in Waco. He could have told them sooner ... like on the boat in the San Francisco Bay when he was recruiting them, or in the smaller homes of followers in the next step of the recruitment process ... no, it appears he waited 'til they were indoctrinated enough to live at the compound in Waco. The rest is history.

And yes Tom, we will be reading about you in the history books. Let's just hope the outcome is better than those previously mentioned.
