I don't really like the idea of the government intervening on things ideological/religious/life choices, BUT, CofS warrants this. So do some other cults.
Sadly, I guess we do need things like this.

I am truly into myself, yes. And I'm just as interested in other people. When I'm not thinking of one, I'm thinking of the other.
Just wish we had some senators like Nick Xenophon in America.....
Nothing says "Serenity of Beingness" quite like a peacefully sleeping cat.....
He doesn't interfere with religious choice, provided they indeed are choices. He just wants to make sure that whoever wants to leave- can.Originally Posted by Voltaire's Child
In addition, it is up for the government to enforce the law and make sure that a "religion" does not do anything illegal. For example - I do believe that the molesting catholic priests need to be criminally prosecuted and in some countries they indeed were.
Too right
Hard not too
Cheers
Happy Days
"If the leaders of the Church of Scientology think that this will all go away, that it will be business as usual then they are deluded." Independent Senator Nick Xenophon
Dear Buddha and GheeBus and Quan Yin please send us a Xenophon for the USA.
Dear Mystic, your bonafide spiritual petition has been duly received, noted, and approved. In the coming days (of 'this spiritual season') your wish has become our command.
It is our fervent & certain hope & trust you do not find the physical manifest nature of Mr. Xenophon's coming American counterpart to be a distraction. As being a woman carries with it certain unique & inherent spiritual qualities that are called for and necessary in the fulfillment of your (and our) ultimate Spiritual Aim.
Sincerely,
Buddha, GheeBus & Quan Yin

The Government has expressed doubts over its constitutional powers to introduce a watchdog body.
But what does it mean by this. Sounds a bit contradictory.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the number of moments that take our breath away.
It means that the Gubmint is afraid of getting its hands dirty.
Senator Xenophon isn't the Gubmint, we just wish he was.

No longer a scientologist.
I don't believe everything I read on the Internet.
I do believe everything I write.
Well....if they don't find anything, they will just make it up, like they've done before. Since when does the CoS let truth stand in their way?I bet the CoS is digging real hard into Xenophon's background to find some dirt. I just hope they don't manage to shut him up, like they did to Bob Minton. I'm sure OSA is working overtime right now, trying to creat a little "Xenophon Freakout".
LRH spoke of "The Road to Truth",..... he just neglected to say that it didn't exist in the CoS.
MY STORY FROM INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY: http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthrea...-Ups-and-Downs
"Scientology is essentially a spy and mind-control network set up to extract the most money it can from it’s members as well as to enforce the maximum amount of production out of each individual, at minimal or no cost to the organization. It’s as simple as that." - John Peeler
The Government knows it has the powers, it just wants to see what kinda opposition there will be to the idea - just like before the Inquiry went ahead.
There will be no credible opposition to the idea, because it is sound.
"Of course, if it's true that Mr. Hubbard was never injured during the war, then he never did heal himself using Dianetics principles,
then Dianetics is based on a lie, and then Scientology is based on a lie." - Tommy Davis
