    The German Federal Government maintains that Scientology is an organization which has primarily economical interests. This idea has been reinforced by a ruling of the Federal Labour court (which is not connected to the government in any way). After having reviewed several Scientology books, the judges concluded that Scientology is not a religion, but a commercial enterprise.
    Furthermore, the German government maintains that Scientology tries to distribute its ideas as widely as possible, ideally leading to a society where humans life together according to Scientology rules. A closer look at Hubbard's writings shows that this is not desirable since Scientology is structured in a totalitarian, anti-democratic fashion. Attempts to establish itself in a leading position in society have taken place in Rhodesia (1966, described by Russell Miller in chapter 15 of "Bare-Faced Messiah"), Corfu (1968, described by Major John Forte in his book The Commodore and the Colonels), and Morocco (1972, described by Russell Miller in chapter 18 of "Bare-Faced Messiah"). More recently, similar attempts were discovered during a raid on the Scientology headquarters in Greece (and Scientology was consequently closed). Possibly, the same has happened in Colombia.

    Did you watch the other video of the Woman, she was much more sane and was talking about rehabilitation projects, were you go when you have bad thoughts about Scientology or someone in it. You have to run everywhere there, no walking, and are sentenced to hard labour up to 18 hours a day until you no longer have bad thoughts……hope to fuck that isn't where poor little Suri Cruise has been,,,,,
    The more I learn about this "religion the more afraid I become, who buys into this CRAP

    Re: hi

    Hi hi. Tell you're granddad this: Last week the police raided and closed the Belgium branch. Today there was a sad story about yet another Co$ suicide. The daughter of a Norwegian MP this time. Drag him to your computer and show him this video. Tell him an internet group called Anonymous is holding protests outside a hundred+ Cult locations every month. Tell him a branch in Germany packed up and left because of this.

    Than tell you granddad the days of this freaking cult are numbered and get him to contact your uncle with all this stuff!!!!

    Hi, I really hope you read this message. Now is the time to help your uncle!

    PS Xenu is their 'devil', so better not F U him :-)

    Re: Kate – KATE THAT IS JUST THE POINT. BEGHE IS COMPLETELY INCOHERENT IN THE VIDEO AND HE CANT EVEN EXPRESS HIS OBJECTIONS BECAUSE HE APPEARS TO BE ON DRUGS, SOMETHING THAT WOULD NOT BE APPROVED OF IN SCIENTOLOGY. IF HE WAS IN FACT A FORMER MEMBER, HE WAS OFFERED HELP/ANSWERS, BUT WAS JUST TOO MUCH OF A LOSER TO TAKE THAT AND BUILD A GREATER LIFE. THANKS FOR STICKING UP FORTHE TRUTH!!!! LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED THE ADDRESS OF YOUR LOCAL READING ROOM!!!!

    The list of "celebritities" that belong to Scientology, besides a couple old guys, is more like a list of has-beens and never-weres.

    Re: PENELOPE – I won't call you names. I would however, strongly suggest that you consider WHY it is that you are the only one who knows the "truth" and all of us are just "too stupid and uneducated?" Is it possible that all of us can see through the BS, and you are the lone person thinking that they are right, when in fact, you are being manipulated by the CoS? Think about it. Protect yourself.. Scientology cannot save the world, you cannot force anyone to be saved. By Scientology "clearing" the planet they would also be taking away everyones inalienable rights to freedom and the right to choose and the right to pursue happiness. You cannot save people from themselves.. What you can do, is open your own eyes and see the crimes being committed by the church that you are supporting. You don't have to stay in scientology, you CAN leave!

    I applaud you Perez! for linking to this. More media outlets need to talk about how this cult is ripping of the more vulnerable of our fellow Americans out of their hard earned income and our Federal Government out of tax dollars it is owed!

    112

    Those Scientologists are some crazy fucks! They'd scare me if I or someone I loved was involved with them, but since that isn't the case, I love making fun of they're idiotic ideologies. Tiny aliens are controlling your thoughts so you must get "clear" of them. What a bunch of wackos!

    Re: PENELOPE

    "Always attack, never defend."

    Scientologists often come up with ad hominem attacks on any critics for no reason, putting the focus on the person, rather than the message, trying to steer away from what is being really said. Check out Mark Bunker's videos for examples.

    What are your crimes, Penelope? I'm sure you've been told to say things like that. I think Mr Beghe is very coherent during the interview. Brainwashing often turns off receptive hearing, so when anything negative is said about what they are being brainwashed by, their critical thought process shuts down and they spew off anything to get off the subject.

    "Click here to check out his tell-all interview."

    Perez, this is only a teaser - much, much more from Mr. Beghe is coming down the chute. And boy, will it be damning.

    115

    Awesome! It's about time someone spoke out against this cult! Scientology is reserved for elitist, rich celebrities who lean on the religion of the month bandwagon when their lives are not going the way they want. Tom Cruise and all those fuckers can go jump in a lake!

  16. Anon says – reply to this


    116

    Re: PENELOPE – Penelope, you are probably a good natured person, thinking you are doing what is right because this is how you've been trained. How can all these critics be wrong and/or on drugs? Penelope, blow this organization, we will be there to catch and support you. The disgust you read is against your beliefs, not your soul. Free your soul from these criminals.

    120

    That took guts. :D
    Hopefully more of these guys will come out and state their story.
    BTW, on the same website, there's a YouTube list of celebs to boycott…
    It was disturbing to look into the EYES of each and every one, except for Jason, who appears to have re-found his SOUL.
    The rest of them just look brainwashed; their eyes empty and vacant.
    Very disturbing.

    PLEASE PEOPLE I IMPLORE YOU , DO NOT PUT SOMETHING DOWN UNLESS YOU HAVE INVESTIGATED IT YOURSELF. WHY DO THAT? IF YOU SEEK ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS GO TO YOUR LOCAL READING ROOM FIRST. IT HAS WORKED FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. OUR CHURCH IS NOT A CULT. EVEN BEGHE DOESNT SAY THAT. HE SIMPLY CLAIMS THAT IT DIDNT HELP HIM, HE DOESNT CALL IT A CULT. I WOULD ARGUE THAT HE DID NOT HAVE AN OPEN MIND BECAUSE HIS MIND WAS CLOUDED BY DRUGS, WHICH WE ARE VERY CLEAR IS NOT GOOD. YOU DO HAVE TO BE WILING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. THERE ARE NOT LOTS OF "CRITICS" OUT THERE. MILLIONS HAVE BEEN HELPED AND YOU CAN BE TOO. LISTEN TO THE MILLIONS NOT THE DISGRUNTLED AND FAILED FEW. A BETTER LIFE IS OUT THERE, REALLY!!!!!!!!

  22. We HAVE the answers and solutions... says – reply to this


    122

    Re: PENELOPE
    And contrary to your cult, Penelope, we don't have to pay for it.
    We HAVE done the research, and we HAVE experienced it firsthand. There are those amongst us who have been members of your "church" and found it to be absolutely ludicrous.
    And stop proselytizing here; we are the anonymous EDUCATED, and we refuse to buy into your "reading room" Alister Crowley/Hitler/Hubbard-the-Satan-worshipping-loonball CRAP.

    Re: PENELOPE
    "Please, I implore you! Join Scientology, pay through the nose to discover that - oh my god! - you're a regular person with real human emotions! Learn that your leader was a Satan-worshipper! Learn how to TRAVEL THROUGH SPACE & TIME and communicate with perfection! Become a soulless, mindless human being who walks around like a paranoid "heaven's gate" zombie! Read about how YOU TOO, can submit to hypnosis and mind-control and become a "happy" psychotic person with a loonie-like laugh! Remove any semblance of humanity within you! Let go of any belief that a life filled with imperfection isn't a life at all! Become a greedy celebrity-worshipping money-hungry bitch or bastard, and learn how years and years ago, some BIG ALIEN dude named xenu killed us all, and now we're all BADDDD!!! Discover that before Xenu existed, there was…. uhhhhh…. uh-oh…. a problem here… just a small snag, really… there was… ?"
    One question for you, Penelope:
    WHO THE FUCK CREATED XENU?

    Hi Penelope, I just wanted to let you know I'm off to my reading room now, because - like Tom Crusie - when I come across a road accident, I want to know I'm the only one, the ONLY one who can really help. Who would've thunk that all those paramedics wasted their time in medical school huh? What douche bags, they just needed to go to their local Sciencrapology reading room…..

    Re: PENELOPE

    You say millions, but there is evidence there are actually only about 85,000 Scientologists in the world at the present time. David Miscavige likes to inflate numbers so make up for something (he's 5'2" tall).

    I can't believe that people actually still follow L Ron Hubbard. In interview after interview his son, L Ron Hubbard, Jr., says his dad was a complete fake. That all the education his dad said he had was untrue etc. He basically wrote a bullshit book of stuff he made up. Prior to writing his Dianetics book, LRH, Sr. was into practicing black magic and Satanism. And that even though black magic is not directly involved in Scientology, it definitely was a part of it's beginning! I just don't see how people can keep on believing in this man and his made up concepts!! I believe in Heaven and Hell and IMO anyone who is a part of Scientoloy is definitely going to Hell when they leave this Earth. The funniest thing about these people is that they actually believe that they will become a "g"od!

    Re: PENELOPE – LOOK AT THE WAY THAT FOOL TALKS. ITS SORT OF OBVIOUS THAT HE IS ON DRUGS. DONT LISTEN TO HIM, GO TO YOUR READING ROOM NOW FOR ANSWERS

    Your leader, L Ron Hubbard, Sr. was always fucked up on drugs.

    Re: Anon – I think she's indoctrinated, rather than trained.
    This fellow has been in, and is now out, and thus has made a strong point about his having some unique perspective and perhaps valuable validity as he can look back and sort out his experience with Scientology objectively unhindered.

    People who are in a transitory and questioning phase of their lives are susceptible to organizations like this, as they take advantage of souls who are striving for higher meaning, and swoop them up and convince them that they're 'family.' Everyone feels a life long need to belong, but you can bridge that gap in many healthier and more atonymous ways other than joining such a group and attempting this normal journey as a 'collective'.

    go to www.villagevoice.com. There's a long interview up with Jason. And tomorrow, the 17th, more video is to come. I applaud his courage for standing up like this.

    PENELOPE-people here have done the research. Some have just gotten off after years and years. Maybe you need to do the research. www.exscientologykids.com. They'll help you find your way. You are so lost and don't even realize it.

    WHO IS MORE SUCCESSFUL–JOHN TRAVOLTA, KIRSTIE ALLEY, LISA MARIE PRESLEY, JASON LEE, ISAAC HAYES, TOM CRUISE, KATIE HOLMES AND JAMES PACKER ON THE ONE HAND OR THIS BEGHE BUFFOON THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD ABOUT AND WHO CAN HARDLY EVEN SPEAK HE IS SO DAMAGED BY DRUGS (YOU CAN SEE IT FOR YOURSELF). PLEASE PEOPLE THERE IS A BETTER MORE FULFILLING LIFE WAITING FOR YOU BUT YOU MUST SEIZE IT!!!!!!GO TO YOUR READING ROOM NOW!!!

  34. Success does NOT equal money. says – reply to this


    134

    Re: PENELOPE
    Fulfilling? Successful?
    Being a dead-eyed has-been celeb in Hollywood is called SUCCESS??
    Penelope, I feel sorry for you, ordering us to go to your "reading rooms."
    I lead an extremely fulfilling life; I have my spirituality, my soul, my mind and brain intact and without control.
    Believe it or not, one can be happy AND clear without having to pay for it.
    Look into "holistic therapy," and "therapeutic touch," and "Reiki."
    It won't cost you a thing, and it has EVERYTHING to do with developing a peaceful, successful life.
    WITHOUT black magic.

    Re: PENELOPE
    Very poor argument you wrote above, Penelope… your very own "leader" was on drugs for most of his life, suffering from hallucinations that he was the Anti-Christ, and paranoid that his government was out to get him.
    I imagine at YOUR OT level, you haven't learned this yet?
    Just wait, once you're completely under hypnosis, THEY'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT.
    Hopefully, by then, it won't be too late.

    IF SOME PEOPLE SAY IT WORKS FOR THEM AND OTHERS DON'T THEN WHY DOES ANYONE GIVE A FUCK? I DON'T AGREE WITH MY OWN FAMILY ON WHAT THEY BELIEVE AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE. IS THIS ANY REASON TO GO ATTACK EACH OTHERS BELIEFS? WHAT WORKS FOR THEM DOESN'T WORK FOR ME AND VICE VERSA. DON'T WE HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THEN PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT RELIGION SOMEONE IS PART OF? ARE WE GOING TO REGULATE RELIGIONS AND TELL PEOPLE WHAT RELIGION IT'S KOSHER TO BE PART OF? IS THERE A LIST I SHOULD LOOK AT THAT SOMEONE HAS POSTED OF MOST KOSHER AND LEAST KOSHER? I'M SURE NAZI GERMANY HAD SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
