		<description>re:#28 no thanks lu, i didn't have any "misunderstoods" the first time. you have failed to address any questions that people have a right to ask.  why don't you tell us exactly how much weight she did lose.  is that possible?  it seems pretty  basic and straightforward to me, since you did bring it up.  furthermore, don't you think she should have been brought to a hospital sooner, maybe when she first began to lose consciousness?  and when she was, don't you think she should have been brought to the closest one since she was so obviously close to death?  are you unaware of the more recent tragic deaths?  would it help if i repeat these questions?  do you need to go grab a dictionary?</description>

		<description>Co$ is a dangerous cult whose members number in the low thousands (try maybe 20,000 WORLD WIDE) and falling.

High level devotees are blowing as they discover how corrupt and manipulative the whole organisation is.

L Ron Hubbard was a fantasist with a narcisstic personality. He also was an incredibly bad novelist. He was no naval war hero. The only educating he ever was involved with was for a few months in Guam at the age of 16. An experience, he later noted, heâ€™d never repeat â€“ as he was a racist and a bigot.

Oh, did I mention he was a misogynist, and possible paedophile? â€“ Yeah Co$ apologists, youâ€™ll have a hard time disproving that oneâ€¦ as messengers from the early 80s are coming clean about their time with the bloated sociopath that was the Ron.

Your days of even declaring you are a religion are numbered.

And the world will be a better place when you so-called â€˜beliefs are relegated to the bin of history. Tom got it all wrong â€“ history will prove the Wogs and SPs will triumph.</description>

Also, the real Terryeo (also a known Scientology plant) hasn't been posting for days.  Anyone using the name is doing it for the lulz it produces</description>

		<description>It's not just the direct actions of the church that are harmful.  It seems that the reputation for harrassment of the CoS alone is enough to push people over the edge:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theresa_Duncan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Blake

"Jeremy Blake and Theresa Duncan believed that they were being followed and harassed by Scientologists up to the point of their deaths. Blake also included his allegations of harassment by Scientologists and others in a 27-page "chronicle" he prepared for a lawsuit he planned to file."

Is July 2007 recent enough?</description>

		<description>To Sylver- 
There are constant examples of $cientologists committing crimes. Example: http://preseljenje.javno.com/en/world/clanak.php?id=116530

January 21, 2008
"Three French members of the Church of Scientology, suspected of holding a fourth person against their will, were arrested Monday in Nuoro, Sardinia, a local police spokesman told AFP. "The three people belong to the Church of Scientology, whereas the person being held was probably not a member," Fabrizio Mustaro, of the Nuoro Prefecture on the Mediterranean island, told AFP.


Police were alerted by a phone call that reported cries for help coming from a house on Mount Ortobene, near Nuoro, said Mustaro. Officers found a 47-year-old woman of Tunisian origin sleeping semi-naked on a mattress infested with vermin. She was subsequently hospitalised. Three other people at the house, a 42-year-old woman and two 18-year-old men, one of Tunisian origin, were arrested and charged with kidnapping."

Two weeks ago... current enough for ya? It's another example of "tie 'em down and lock 'em up until they join us!!!!11!!!"</description>

		<description>Lu, if all of that is true then why did staff members give sworn testimony such as:

Q: â€œCan you describe what you observed when
you walked into the room?â€

A. â€œOkay. I came in, and she was on the bed. And there was one person holding one of her arms, and one person holding another arm, I donâ€™t remember who exactly. P.K. was there, and I believe he was holding her legs. And somebody was there, Mmm, I think with her â€” holding her head or something like that.â€

Why do people protest Scientology?
Scientology locks people up.

There are over two dozen allegations that Scientology has held individuals against their will.These illegal acts were not committed by rogue Scientologists - they were in accordance with Scientology policy.

Scientology held Lisa McPherson against her will for 17 days, according to Scientology's own logs. She died in their custody. The state of Florida decided not to prosecute the two felony charges filed against Scientology in her death after Scientology used relentless pressure to get the medical examiner to make a partial change in the cause of death. Her estate sued Scientology for wrongful death and false imprisonment; the suit was settled in May 2004, with all details kept confidential..

Scientology lies.

Lying to people to get their money isn't just unethical -it's illegal. It's called fraud.  

Scientology claims there is a scientific basis for all their processes. There isn't. Scientology claims it's compatible with other belief systems, like Christianity. It's not. Scientology claims to be the fastest-growing religion in the world, with 8 million members, utilizing infallible technology developed by a physicist and war hero. They're lying.

Scientology is breaking the law.

In addition to false imprisonment and fraud, Scientology engages in the illegal practice of medicine by prescribing auditing and vitamins to replace legally-prescribed medical treatment.

Scientology also extorts money from its members, telling them it's scientifically proven that their lives will become worse if they don't pay for expensive auditing.

Scientology has a long, well-documented history of criminal activities.

High-ranking Scientology executives were convicted of extremely serious crimes in the United States for breaking into government offices and stealing documents. Founder L. Ron Hubbard was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in that case, and the defendants stated in their stipulation of evidence that, at all times, he acted as supervisor of the illegal activities.

Scientology itself was convicted of similar crimes in Canada. When Scientology then tried to destroy the reputation of the prosecutor in the case, they were hit with the biggest libel fine in Canadian history.

L. Ron Hubbard was convicted of fraud in France.

Scientology attacks free speech.

Scientology says that "public statements against Scientology or Scientologists," "writing anti-Scientology letters to the press," and "testifying as a hostile witness against Scientology in public" are all "Suppressive Acts" - high crimes, according to " Introduction to Scientology Ethics." The book goes on to say that people who do such things "cannot be granted the rights and beingness ordinarily accorded rational beings."

In accordance with this policy (and others like it), Scientology has tried to silence all criticism:

Scientology framed journalist Paulette Cooper for sending bomb threats after she wrote The Scandal of Scientology.

Scientology sued book and magazine publishers - including Time magazine - in an attempt to prevent any future criticism by scaring publishers with the prospect of enormous court costs.

Scientology sued critics for copyright infringement, even though the copyrights to some of the documents in question may have been lost to the public domain years ago.

Scientology tried to unilaterally shut down the alt.religion.sciento
logy newsgroup - unintentionally bringing Scientology to the attention of hundreds of free-speech advocates.

Scientology imposes gag orders in settlement agreements, preventing those who have suffered most from telling the world what they know.

Scientology routinely threatens legal action against critics, alleging copyright infringement, trademark dilution, and dissemination of trade secrets - often in situations in which its allegations are baseless.

Scientology hurts people.

Scientology routinely pressures members into spending more money than they can afford on expensive courses.

Scientology's disconnection policy destroys families.

Scientology betrays the trust of well-intentioned people by falsely claiming to have a scientifically-proven technology to save the world.  Scientology ruthlessly attacks its critics with everything from frame-ups to unannounced visits to the homes of family members to libellous fliers distributed to their neighbors and business associates.

And sometimes, Scientologists die under suspicious circumstances.  They even target their own kind.

Buddhism, Mormonism, Islamic, Judiasm, Christianity, etc., have not required bloodshed or money for Centuries.  To have such draconian administration is simply morally not right today by any standard of good you want to pluck from.</description>
