the u.s. government should not in any way support a cult such as this. scientology was created by a paranoid schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur. they must be stopped!
L.Ron Hubbard is the self help sales person and it is self help because it made him wealthy.
The KKK, Nazi, and Black Panther groups are also self help groups that 20% off center and the Church of Scientology is just one more to add to the list.
Tom Cruise is being looked at as a spokesman for the group; I suppose because people see him on the movie screen and hear him speaking intelligently and do not understand that he is only parroting what an actual intelect has written.
In time people will understand that being able to read somebody else's work does not make that person a man of intelect.
People will see Tom Cruise abandon another family soon because what he has put in place of a religion is himself and he is not morally strong. This is why he is so involved with moving away from God.
This whole tax-exempt status is retarded. This is a business that exchanges goods. Money for some religous "enlightenment." At my religous meetings I get that for free and make donations as often as possible. Any time that money is necessary up front to receive anything that makes it a business. Churches get this tax-exempt status because they don't charge for what they are doing and don't demand pre-payment of any sort therefore they do not get taxed. HELLO!! Am I surprised that our government hasn't jumped on this one? NO WAY!!! They are too busy running after American citizens that owe them $3,000.00 and then complaining how the government is broke, but, we have these cult members called "Scientologists" getting millions every year up front for the service that they provide. HMMMMMMMM!!!!
I believe that Scientology is a cult. Tom Cruise is one of the most ignorant human being on the face of this earth. The IRS and the gov't. really need to look hard at this situation and make this cult pay taxes like the rest of us normal human beings.
Scientology states that a newborn child cannot be touched or spoken around until the child is 72 hours old. That Is neglect. Stop Scientology it encourages unlawful actions.
Who or what does tom cruise think he is. #1 i have researched this outfit called sciencetolgy and have spent several hours checking this out and i have come to the conclusion that this is a cult and i believe that legally and more inportant morally they are not a church nothing more than a cult like waco as not as dangerous remember jim jones he and cruise are the same lets take a hard look IRS
Anyone who does any kind of research on scientology and does not draw the conclusion that it is a money-grubbing cult..must have an alien life form inside of them steering them towards a volcano. I cannot believe the power that this organization has...politically, media-wise, etc. I beieve in freedom of religion but to kidnap a church member and put them in isolation when they question their beliefs?? Gosh....pass the koolaid.
This is a money-making scheme that uses intimidation and false claims to bilk people out of their hard-earned savings. They are criminal, and should not have the protection afforded to legitimate religious organizations.
This organization is a body of unrestrained intimidation and positions itself against the values of Freedom and Pursuit of Happiness. It is not weird nor is it Tom Cruise, it is an insulated mafia, hiding from deserved punishment behind the government's shield of Religious Freedom.
This organization should have no tax emeption. It is a money-making cult and is not a religion. It's time to put a stop to these money-making hollywood promotional cults. This IS NOT what our founding father's had in mind! Get real, Tommy and Katie. You are more annoying than Oprah!
