Scientology's Credibility Questioned Over Video Channel

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the scientology-and-shady-almost-synonyms-these-days dept.

stonyandcher writes to share that the Church of Scientology has come under fire for some items on their recently launched video channel. Most notably, claims have been leveled that dignitaries in one of their videos were faked and at least one of the people featured in the video is claiming their statements were taken out of context.

      Scientology's senior leadership replied saying: "Bears use outhouses just like all the other woodland creatures"
      "The Pope was on vacation to Bermuda during the youth in question"
      "And whats with those Apple enthusiasts, damn, like seriously, there more devoted than Xenu!"

    Do they have any cool vids of Xenu and the starships? Volcanoes? That could rival the Sci-Fi Channel.

    those suckers will continue to buy penis enlargement products from poorly written emails, and give their remaining money to Scientology I'm sure Tom Cruise won't appreciate you broadcasting his secret ;-)
    Wouldn't it be mad if the penis enlargment companies were owned by the COS or a subsidiary?

    We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.

    A phrase that gets passed around: Calling Scientology a 'religion' really is an awful lot like calling Dunkin' Donuts a 'restaurant'
