This is not a chruch and only non profit because they build and increase their budget.
L. Ron Hubbard is not God or anything close to God. They make you crazy! Just look at Tom!
I have always distrusted 'Scientology' and have never liked Tom Cruise. After much research and reading online I now know why - they are truly a cult of GREED and all that goes with it.
Scientology's agenda is greed, not compassion.
Approving tax exemption to an organisation that is driven by avarice contradicts the very essence of this law.
Tax exemption is a means to help the helpers, not a free ride for xploiters. It is hard to understand, why a cult that is proven to exploit their victims ever got this approved.
Scientology's tax exemption disparages all, who's work is honestly dedicated to the benefit of others and does not protect credulous victims from being driven into dependency and confusion to become Scientology's willing prey.
i was EVICTED by THE LANDLORDS RENTAL SERVICE (a slimentology front/real estate management company based in hollywood) because of my PAST ASSOCIATION with them as an OT VII
they're also involved with SHARE, the Self Help And Recovery Exchange on the Westside of los angeles... whose director is ruth hollman. she's involved with them, only for financial gain!!!
they ALSO CONTROL the HOLLYWOOD INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER!!!

the cult HAD ME EVICTED/THROWN OUT OF MY APARTMENT of 15 year duration... through their The Landlords Rental Service (a slimentology property management
group based in hollywood) by telling the property manager, that "if she "GOT RID OF ME"... ANDRAN HER APARTMENT BUILDING LIKE A "MOTEL" she'd MAKE MORE MONEY that she'd ever dreamed possible!
they refused to take my rent, then took me to court, while in court, they "changed hearing judges", them "had me pay an EXTRA $13 in court fees, to VOID THE JUDGEMENT, so that i
Alister Crowley, L. Ron Hubbard and All of the Devil Loving Bastards should be taxed more - Thats a way to fix our national debit - Make those idiots that are giving the church (oops) Cult all of thier money pay a SIN TAX - That might be a way to stop the non-sense
How could anyone think this is an actual religion? Xenu blowing up aliens in volcanoes with hydrogen bombs? You'd think more people would get it knowing a SCI FI WRITER invented this whole load of crap!
Scientology needs to be put init's place. It is as much a threat to our society as other hate groups such as ACLU, KKK, NAACP, unions, and other Liberal groups that are only out to destroy decent people.
Scientology is definitely not a religious or a charitable organization. The tax exempt status means that US taxpayers are actually subsidizing that organisation with money that should be put to better use.
scientology is neither a religion or science. Just a business originated by a sci-fi writer. our missile defense system (star wars) is also a product of sci-fi fantasy. our gov't has wasted too much already on both these fantasies.Cut both from subsidies.
