    Australian PM's Concern over Scientology

    Church of Scientology accused of torture and forced abortions - Times Online

    An Australian senator has brough forward statements from several ex-Scientologists who al allege that the 'church' is involved in illegal activity and is extremely coercive in regards to it's members. Here's what he says:

    “Scientology is not a religious organisation, it is a criminal organisation that hides behind its so-called religious beliefs,”

    “... The letters received by me which were written by former followers in Australia contains extensive allegations of crimes and abuses that are truly shocking - crimes against them and crimes they say they were coerced into committing.
    “These victims of Scientology claim it is an abusive, manipulative, violent and criminal organisation, and that criminality is condoned at the highest levels.”



    Some of the alleged crimes involve forced detention, torture and forced abortions.


    The Church of Scientology has responded by saying that these allegations were "about as reliable as former spouses are when talking about their ex-partner"

    Except that generally, former spouses don't accuse each other of torture.
    The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler

    Mm, same thing happened in France, Scientology lost. It's nice that people are waking up to it. Well, I say people, I mean the French and the Australians.

    Kudos. Scientology and any other cult that abuses innocent children and humanity in general needs to be publicized and brought down.
    Syco- "The Empress is the latter leg of this triad, representing the physical body and the material world. From her comes all the pleasure of the senses and the abundance of life in all its forms. She is also the mother archetype, and through her we get a first glimpse of the power of love in the Tarot." I think this is all representative of awesomly large tits, no?

    You're talking about just about every religion, love.
