I love any article that bashes/shines the light on the "Church" of Scientology. This scam should be abolished worldwide. God Bless the LA Weekly and God Damn Fraudology.

The so called "Church" of Scientology has been trying to rewrite the history of its founder, L.Ron Hubbard, for years. Why, you ask? Because he was a consumate CON ARTIST ....and because he was a college dropout, got his so called PHD at a diploma mill in California, had a very unflattering military record, abused his 3rd wife and forced her to have an abortion, was convicted of crimes in Europe, was an unindicted co-conspirator in the "Snow White" trial in the USA, and spent the last 7 years of his life in hiding from the US authorities. Wikipedia did the right thing and put an end to their attempts at "revisionist" history.

According to a devout adherent of $cientology (a friend I've known for almost thirty years) the glorious [sic] Church of $cientology is being persecuted as the Romans once persecuted the Jeeezass believers. He says the Church is being persecuted because it holds the truth... and it's the ONLY way to $alvation for humankind (a.k.a.: ewe-man-unkind). My old friend also claims that his 'precious Lord' (L. Ron Hubbard) will be bigger than Jeeezass in 2000 years.

I'm patient with my friend, but I laugh. The way things are going, humans will be lucky to survive the next 20 years.

This is such BS. Everyone knows Wikopedia is a bunch of crap and anyone can edit anything. The owner is about to go out of business, check this out: http://gawker.com/5122766/

Leave Scientology alone. Isn't it enough to attack the minorities, gays, etc...

If you're looking to dig up some dirt, look in your own back yard.

As a former member of the OOS, I will give MPOV. I think it expensive, I think they promise you freedom, but you have to give up yours, yet I wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for Scientology auditing. For what I received, I wouldn't give a cent back. If you haven't been in it, don't judge it.

Auditing is bullshit and everyone knows it, except for Church adherents who give this business (and it is a business) too much credit and don't give themselves nearly enough credit. Any group that takes away your money and your freedom (though you can seize it back if you want, let's face it, this isn't Germany in 1942) is not a group one should be anywhere near. The celebs are the face of it and can readily afford it without giving up their comfortable life (and they get the network!), but what about all those folks I see wandering around across the street from Square One?
