Speaking of suicides - how about David Miscavige's mother-in law?

She "committed suicide" with 3 bullets to the chest, and one to the head. Um, yeah. Either she was some long-lost relative of Rasputin, or something is a wee bit piscine about that.

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> Hi there,
I agree with teknor´s comment. Germany has definetely not banned scientology but the german public is very aware of this sect and the brainwashing they do to their members. Some of their opinions, like "cleaning the world" seem to be anti-constitutional racism and as for the protection of german people they are watched by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
Sometimes I wonder, what news about Germany do appear in other countrys....
Greets from Germany to you all!

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> The historian Dr. Guido Knopp (59) from the German Television Channel ZDF and boss of the editorship contemporary history of the ZDF, values the scene so: "Tom Cruise steps on like Goebbels." Concretely he thinks of a notorious speech of Hitler propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. Knopp says : "..it likes to be that Cruises language manner is usual in many revival movements in the USA. Yet the scene in which he asks whether the scientologists should clean the world and call all yes, reminds one automatically every German who interests himself for history, of the notorious sport palace-speech of Goebbels."

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> Hello everyone...
First of all...
@Eyedrive1 Germany don't banned Scientology. The situition is a little bit comlicated and I can't translate the text of the law...sorry for that. But I will try to explain it ( a little bit)

Scientology is called a sect. They are be under a watch of the Verfassungsschutz ( the same as the FBI) and the sect agent of the goverment also warn against them. But they are not forbidden. ... my english is not good enough to explain the whole coherences, but even in school the kid where be warn of this guys.

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> Writing from the perspective of a born into, unmercifully abused ex-member I can honestly say that Scientology is a racist, Satanic, sadistic, mind-controlling, brainwashing, life destroying CULT that needs to be STOPPED. Spread the word. Scientology is truly evil. Not just crazy or silly or harmless. Just google it, you will find out all you ever want to know. Some great key search words are: OT III, OT VIII, lermanet, stacey moxon death, l. ron hubbard death, scientology child abuse... I could go on. As and ex-member I can vouch for the fact that 95% of the stuff online is TRUE.

LRH may have even had his own son killed because he was gay! I live in Tampa Bay where they have a huge organization in Clearwater, FL. They are all over the downtown. Tom was very intense. [gawker.com] . Give him a Prozac and some medication for that mania!

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> It looks like a big medal but that's comparing it to normal sized people. Tom is teeny and the other guy must be even smaller (if that's possible!) The medal would probably fit the ring finger on any normal person. Stick to acting Tom... er... sorry, it appears you have!

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> The other day I read a piece that Germany has banned Scientology. At first I was concerned about Germany banning any religion given 1936-1945, but after researching Scientology and after seeing the Cruise video, I can understand their concern. If this is not a dangerous cult I don't know what is. Beware, these people are dangerous, and their power and prominence are growing. Scared the bejesus out me. I will never again watch any Cruise film again and hope others do the same. Call it boycott if you like, but I'll live with it until they come for me.

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> When I lived in Los Angeles. Just up from The Scientology building, off Hollywood Boulevard and Cahuenga, I went into the Scientology Building.
It was a small 2-3 story small town white painted brick building back in 1989. As of October 2007 they have a HUGE building there, right behind the old one. IT even looks like a monestary or prison.
Back then, as I said, I went in, talked to someone...
I took a test with them for a JOB, but it was for "their hiring purposes". They asked where I was from, where I worked, how long I had been there...The standard things. But then I was a bit dismayed when they asked whether or not I had any experience in Scientology or if I was able to make a standard contribution. Hmmmm. I was given about 10 of the pamphlets and several books for FREE in a brown bag and asked to go read them and when I was done I could come back in for an interview.
When I asked what a standard contribution was, the woman at the desk looked at me and said, I am sorry honey, you obviously can't afford it.
I thought of course not, you moron, I am looking at a $8 an hour job and probably can't even afford to donate to my landlord right now...Can you spare a dime?
I read some of each book. Brought the books back to the front of the store, and saw a woman and a man together at the desk looking to buy a few books and I gave them everything I had been given the day before. Because THATS WHAT WE DO. We give. THATS what a Godly person DOES. WE Help people on the side of the road who look like they are about to get into an accident.
Then I looked at them and said, "This is some whacked out shit, next thing you know they are gonna ask you for a standard donation, be careful.", She says, "
Honey, they already have."
I laughed and walked out the door.

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> Somebody should really look into the "suicide" of David Hans Schmidt, who was trying to blackmail Cruise when he unexpectedly "killed himself."

@gunshy007:

Do a search on Paulette Cooper. She is a journalist who wrote the first book critical of Scientology back in the early 1970s. The "Church" framed her for making bomb threats and tried to drive her to suicide. Luckily it didn't work, but it took her years to clear her name and recover.

Yeah, I read that Vanity Fair piece as well. Really disturbing. Supposedly Beck (a Scientologist) knew Theresa & Blake, but now Beck is all "Theresa & Blake who?" Story goes Beck was a friend of the couple & he wanted to leave "the church" at one point & then all this crazy shit started happening to Theresa & Blake.
I do find it curious that NO ONE tells anything about Scientology but I'm starting to understand: When you become a member, they "audit" your ass ( You confess all your sexual deviations) & should you ever want to leave, they blackmail you with your confessions! Dirty fuckers.

Me: "Save it Zippy, I'll take my chances with ol' blazey."

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> I was reading some article about Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake and how in the years before their suicides they were convinced that they were being stalked and hounded by Scientologists - - it sounded pretty far out, but the thing is, they didn't otherwise seem crazy at all, so I started imagining that they were right and they were being watched and that no one would believe them. Could drive a person to madness or even suicide, no? What is the DEAL with these nutso Scientologists? I'd love to see someone do a real expose . . .

]]> <![CDATA["We are the way to happiness"]]> Don't the Scientologists realize that the more they attack this book, the more people are going to want to read it? St. Martins Press and Morton can't buy this kind of publicity.

Also, what's with the bad-ass braggodocio (sp.?)? What exactly is he feeling so defensive about? What? What? What?

Anyway, where's the proof for his assertions? Scientologists being better than anyone else at the scene of an accident, say--evidence, please.
