Despite Rumors, Church Of Scientology Does NOT Issue Refunds
David Hauslaib's Jossip is running a misleading story titled "The Church Of Scientology Will Refund Your Money" which must come as news to former Scientologist Michael Pattinson, who after spending $500,000 on Scientology courses ostensibly to cure him of his "homosexuality" is still gay, and is still without his $500,000.
Michael sued the Church of Scientology for false claims and you know what he got in return: bankruptcy, his reputation tarnished, fired from his place of employment and ultimately the depressing knowledge that a vast portion of his life (24 years) were not well-spent.
The gist of the Jossip post:
The Church of Scientology may be a vindictive cult, but at least they issue refunds.Actor Jason Beghe – of Cane, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds, CSI, and all the other shows that rip off each others’ plotlines – got back the $60-$70,000 he paid toward future study when he finally cut ties with David Miscavige’s legion. But now he never gets to talk to a Scientologist ever again. It’s policy.
Beghe is, according to gossip Roger Friedman, “the bravest actor in Hollywood†for coming out against Scientology, which he was a member for 14 years and spent about $1 million becoming a senior level “OT5 auditor.â€
So what’s Beghe doing now? Fashioning himself into a video blogger, posting clips to YouTube exposing the church’s brainwashing ways and declaring his wish to “meet a motherfucking clear.â€
A second, longer video will be going up on YouTube Wednesday or Thursday. It’s not to make money or to get publicity for himself, Beghe says, and I believe him. “If it helps people, that’s what’s important.â€
And that’s because Beghe says that most Scientologists are completely insulated from the criticism that we all read or publish. All the jokes, the “South Park†stuff, anti-cult stories, real data about people who’ve suffered inside the sect largely go unnoticed by the Scientology community. “They just say, ‘You don’t understand.’†[Fox 411]
