I was just going to post this - you beat me to it though.
Damn that Scientology - biggest bunch of con-artists out there...

Set a course for adventure, your mind on a new romance!

Ok I've been looking into this campaign against the "Church of Scientology" for awhile and I have a question. Anyone ever thought of going to the police? This is the main problem I have about THIS REPORT and every other Report about Scientology I have seen. There's been accusations flying everywhere...shouting matches and legal threats, even an accusation that the Church has murdered people. I don't see any investigations, I see internet based "Experts" touting one theory or another and making wild claims without substantiating evidence of any kind.

If you have evidence you go to the Police...if you were kidnapped and HELD against your will you GO TO THE POLICE. You do not go to a news agency first. I don't get what's so hard to grasp about this...I can understand a few people feeling that they shouldn't go to the authorities for one reason or another but everyone ever?

So I call Bullshit on this woman's story. I've heard enough about the Church of Scientology to believe that it's a strikingly stupid and ridiculous organization even when described by it's memebers. That doesn't make them criminals who kidnap people, and I wish more people would be objective about accusing people of crimes they may or may not have committed.
