The Church of Scientology (CoS) are a scary scary cult. Anyone who needs proof need only look at the “secret” CoS documents that have been published online by Anonymous in recent months.

The stalking and harassment of ex members, the overt plains to control and brainwash recruits, the punishment of people who deviate… yep, scary.

Yeah I haven’t read much about them in my life, but what I have read has totally freaked me out. Like the story about one girl who was deined medical treatment for an extended period of time and ended up dying and had been eaten by cockroaches and stuff.

The stories I’ve heard are absolutely horrible.

Way to play into the church’s persecution complex.

It’s too bad that the majority of the kids who attend those protest don’t really have any basis for being there. Their recruiting hasn’t been so high since the 1990s and they only make up like a 10th of the Jehovah Witnesses. I guess they’re sorta interesting because of the involvement of aliens and celebrity members, but it still seems counterproductive.

If you want to see really fucked up it, I suggest looking up “House of Yahweh” or “Apostolic Faith Church, Body of Jesus Christ Newborn”.

Again - Helene, if you read what I put - I don’t look into the church that much at all because I honestly care very little about what they do. It was a link to support a friend who is very much into the whole thing.

as a side note, i know all about house of yahweh, and a bit about the apostolic faith church. from what i’ve researched about scientology there is more harm being done within scientology than these other two “religions” combined. Yahweh is just crazy. We studied them in a 2nd year religion course at u vic.

anyway - whatever kids want to protest they should go nuts. i’ve seen more people go out and protest who have previously told me protesting was pointless than i thought i ever would. so it’s good for them.
