  • Where do you start with Scientology? How about you pay money and receive little or nothing.

  • A Scientology course I attended claimed that they could give me superpowers. I walked out with them hounding me for months afterwards. And that was from watching only part of one lousy presentation, I shudder to think what they'd do if I had been there longer.

    Show me one Scientologist OT who has superpowers (apart from the ability to jump on a couch like a rabid monkey)

    It is a crime that the Government continues to allow these dangerous people to operate, much less fund them with my tax dollars that I would rather see go to education and health care.

  • It's sad that scientology seems incapable of reforming itself, but their policies would regard any such changes as heretical. The abuses spoken of are just the sort of thing that I experienced in scientology, many years ago.

  • The claims are false and this will become apparent in the coming days and weeks. Already the truth is coming out. This appeared in the paper: the aims of Scientology include a world without insanity, without criminals and without war.
    Scientology recognises man as a spiritual being with unlimited potential, and with care and compassion
    assists individuals to achieve personal freedom.

  • It's amazingly telling how Cyrus Brooks keeps diverting his answers. Instead of saying "We welcome an investigation", he keeps saying "We'll cooperate..."

    What are you hiding, Scientology? If these crimes aren't a typical part of Scientology management and policy, you should have nothing to fear and be rolling out the red carpet for the police...

  • The situation with the Church of Scientology is worse than you can imagine. Keep digging ladies and gentlemen, keep digging.
