I'm pretty sure I remember the incident you're talking about... and yeah Tony O. did seem to be overly harsh.
But possibly this may have something to do with him also being an editor for...

Why do you believe that this is his "basic motivation"?

If his motivation was basically selfish, why would be persist on focusing so much on Scientology when this was causing him to lose...

If this article is true (i.e. Tony Ortega was pushed out because he focused too much on Scientology, and there has been a general shake-up at the Voice because it is not doing well financially), then...

I believe that under the right set of circumstances, nearly anyone can be taken in by a destructive cult like Scientology. These types of groups are experts in manipulating the weaknesses in our...

Even if they didn't use photo shop, the audience there looked to be only about 2000 to 3000 people (max)... seems like a pretty poor turnout for the world's fasting growing religion. :wink2:

Yup.
If he's homosexual,
He wouldn't be the first gay man whose fathered children with his wife (i.e. This sort of thing probably isn't that rare.)

Or he could have some sexual attraction to...

Good point. If the masseur can give some convincing evidenve that he was hired by Travolta, then I think John T. is in for it.
Maybe Travolta was just looking for a quicky, and he's ended up with a...

So the plaintiff states that Travolta doesn't seem to think the CoS was the key to his success. :p

Ya know the Roman Catholic Church had perfectly...

I finished reading "The Church of Scientology: A History of a New Religion", written by Hugh B. Urban who is an Ohio State University professor of Comparative Religions/New Religious Movements. The...

Checking Amazon.... I see that there is a "A Short Course in the Secret War", by Christopher Felix (4th ed), still in print!

Just in case anyone is interested. :devil: :p

Gossip is probably an intrinsic part of human behavior.
Some years back I remember seeing a TV program where a linguist talked about research which involved eavesdropping on random groups of people...

Groups like the Unification Church and The People's Temple gave many people a sense of purpose (at least for a while) and even helped some stop their destructive habits.
The Moonies have donated...

Can you give examples of some of the church's positives?

I don't think he was necessarily talking about ethnic minorities. (e.g. It could refer to the residence of Delaware in comparison to the rest of the U.S.)
He could have also said: "Utilitarianism...

Of course LRH was not really a 'scientist' (Although at least one of his books falsely claimed that he was a nuclear physicist).

Perhaps you're right about some people getting sucked into cons...

Not long ago, I met a Scientologist listed here as an OT VIII who I believe is in her early 80's

Uzbekistan?

Maybe he'll get deported. :wink2:

Legally it probably doesn't matter how many more people think Scientology is a fraud... much of western law deals with individual/minority rights even in the face of disagreement with the majority. ...
