It doesn't matter. They are responsible for at least one death. How many more do they need to kill before we should oppose them?

Lisa McPherson and all the other Scientology slaves shall not be forgotten.

The GP poster might not have been the original of that troll.

It is somewhat ironic that Mr. Miscavige is in charge of an organization that includes a re-education camp, the RPF (Rehabilitation Project Force), whose members are reputed to have to wear colored arm bands.

The point is that the crazy beliefs of a religion are up front. You don't find about "body thetans" until OTIII and about 300k is down the drain. People joing scientology because they think it is about one thing, and later find out it's really about another, and so on... Hubbard had to keep inventing bullshit to keep the shell game going. Religions don't do that. Where they are self-contradictory and illogical, it's not something you can't find out by reading their free and "open source" holy book. Scientology, on the ohter hand is closed source with the hood nailed shut. Just because you might know about OTIII doesnt' mean they want you to, and if you host the document, the'll send a DMCA and/or sue you. They might just kill your pets if you piss them off enough (google "woof woof glug glug" or see here). They're worse than the fucking RIAA! They are definitely not open about what they believe and since you don't know, you can't really knowingly consent (you're also flat out lied to).

He's saying the church of Scientology does it, and the owner of the company funds them.

If you look into it you'll see a history of child abuse in the Church of Scientology, they claim that it hasn't happened in over 20 years (Not that it never happened) but there've been quiet a few (now ex-)members of the church testifying that it's happened more recently than that.

As for kitten killing I'm not as sure, just googled and found http://www.solitarytrees.net/pickets/sp992a.htm, but no idea how many of those stories are true, and I don't really care enough to go and look into them, I've heard of the first story before a few times though and it seems likely that at least that one is true.

Yes! He needs an audit all right! We'll give him the "Joburg"!

The http://www.solitarytrees.net/racism/joburg.htm Johannesburg Security Check audit is a procedure by which all overts ("crimethink" as the wogs call it) of a Potential Trouble Source (PTS) can be detected. Once such an individual has been found out the nearest terminal to contact is an Ethics Officer (EO) who will body route that individual straight to the nearest Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF) unit (Scientology's penal company).

Don't know what I'm talking about? Join our cult!

Correction! I meant join our "Church".

By the way, the racism link would probably comes as a surprise to all the Hollywood stars who donate to Scientology. http://www.solitarytrees.net/racism/deny.htm Somehow I doubt it.

I believe you mean DC-8's -- but without the propellers...

Oops! The DC-8 was and is a pure jet aircraft. No propellers.

Good catch dude, in addition to be being a bad writer a crook and racist, L Ron Hubbard was also ignorant of airplane propulsion. That's it! The whole sick structure will now collapse.

A restraining order against an anonymous coward on Slashdot? Heh. Almost always, the people assigned to these sorts of duties are doing an "ammends project" to be allowed back "onlines" with the Cthurch of Scientology. They seem to get picked for the nasty jobs because (a) they're deniable as working for Scientology, (b) they're frequently judgment-proof because they have no assets or they're so dubious in sanity that no one would believe any liable and no damages could be proven. (There's also the danger that Scientology would help out in the legal fight in order to make it as time-consuming and expensive for a critic as possible. "The purpose of a lawsuit is to harass", in the words of L. Ron Hubbard.)

It's not worth my time because I can do more to help expose the organization in an hour of working on my media references page than wasting months in court.

It's no accident that he Godwin'ed himself immediately. When Scientology starts flinging poo at anyone who dares criticize the "most ethical organization on the planet" (their words), they always reach for Hitler and the Nazis first: Germany (which is why Cruise had recent troubles there), psychologists and psychiatrists, newspapers, journalists, Germany again (Bringing your kids along to a Nazi uniformed protest is weird by anyone's standard yes?), and probably a lot more. It's no wonder that some people occasionally fling it back, where it seems to sit better (and when the poo sits...):

*"[..] This is nothing compared to what will happen when we start taking SPs out of the government. They are rightly afraid. So don't you be. Tomorrow belongs to us. Inevitably there are bumps in the road."

Maybe it was named after that Xenu guy?
