Wow. This is a shocker. Whee. I guess he'll be looking for another young bride. Or maybe he'll go with extra snug fit natural fiber condoms for his next date. My guess is he might just skip the part where they remove it from the sheep.

Hypothetically. What should a film star attached to a religion that is famous for hounding it's enemies (does that even differentiate it from other religions?) do if allegations of homosexual encounters surface? (No poll) I think this would be the perfect time to come out. You could...

The March 10 San Antonio Express-News has a column about a suit filed by the Church of Scientology against former official Debbie Cook. She says she was kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured. I thought this line was especially sad: "...she suggests the exalted position of Miscavige is a corruption...

From the San Antonio Express-News: Church [of Scientology] suddenly drops its bid to muzzle couple Biery's critics "newtralized" in Medina Valley prayer ruling

Newspaper "Le Monde" is reporting that the French branch of the COS has been condemned to a fine of Euro 600'000 for "organised fraud". Its main leader has received a 2 years suspended sentence and a € 30'000 fine. Lesser employees have received suspended sentences and fines.

I don't mean the CHURCH OF Scientology. I mean SCIENTOLOGY, the philosophy/Religion. We don't confuse Christianity with the Roman Catholic church, so let's not confuse Scientology with the Church of Scientology. The problem with the CoS (Church of Scientology) is that it has some sales...

An expert on dangerous cults informed me that Germany has Banned Scientology in all forms. is this true? :D on a serious note, should scientology be protected under freedom of religion? or should we ban them? and why? PS: i know they didn't, but there are attempts to do so.

I can not post a url because I am new but for UK citizens and/or UK residents there is a Scientology e-petition you can sign to help stop this "Church" getting tax breaks in the UK. If you Google...... Scientology epetition ....you will find it. On one building alone in the UK (146 Queen...

Not that we need reminding that Scientology is one big fat con, that L. Ron Hubbard was a conman and that Tom Cruise is a moron: Secret war on the Scientologist 'mafia' launched by Wilson government in 1970s Courtesy of The Mail on Sunday We were cool in the 70's

Top Scientologist charged with perverting course of justice Updated Tue May 31, 2011 3:07pm AEST One of the Church of Scientology's most senior figures, Jan Eastgate, has been arrested and charged in Sydney. She has been charged with perverting the course of justice in relation to allegations...

So, what are the costs of "super powers" this year, honey? ... http://www.scribd.com/doc/48146137/Scientology-Super-Power-Statuses-Pricing-Jan-2011 My first question is: If even the 12,000,000 bucks "donation bills" doesn't make me ... at least! ... second in command in the Church of...

So after watching the infamous Interview with Mr. David Miscavige* I start to wonder what difference there is between Scientology and Psychology. From what I know the auditors are trying to figure out what bothers you and try to get over those things that in some way hinder you from being more...

One thing that I can do regarding christianity and atheism that I can't find for scientology; I can go on a forum and see arguments between believers and non-believers; not only seeing both sides but see each side's response to the other's criticisms. Heck, I can even see ex-believers arguing...

...they saw a UFO! Venus is my guess, judging from the picture. But what do I know?

John Sweeney, who famously lost it when making a film for the BBC about Scientology, has a new programme about the "church" on BBC1 on Tuesday: http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/front_page/newsid_9032000/9032278.stm It'll be on iPlayer.

BBC 1 Tuesday 21.00 On IPlayer UK only (and I expect youtube later) The preview only shows a clip of the usual cat & mouse video intimidation by Cos so I hope the program itself is more substantial. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00v1ykr

Since they aren't theists. There's no deities. Just some weird alien sci-fi stuff. I think skeptic is a better title than atheist, since too much garbage can technically be lumped as still being atheist.

This event is open to the public, but press is especially welcome. Please drop by if you are in the area. It will be taped, however. This could be interesting as the Center for Inquiry West is within walking distance of the Scientology PAC Base (also called Big Blue)...so "visitors" are...
