Strength in their numbers: More Church of Scientology defectors come forward with accounts of abuse
They are stepping forward — from Dallas and Denver, Portland, Las Vegas, Montana — talking about what happened, to them and their friends, during their years in the Church of Scientology.
Jackie Wolff wept as she recalled the chaotic night she was ordered to stand at a microphone in the mess hall and confess her "crimes" in front of 300 fellow workers, many jeering and heckling her.
Gary Morehead dredged up his recollection of Scientology leader David Miscavige punishing venerable church leaders by forcing them to live out of tents for days, wash with a garden hose and use an open latrine.
Steve Hall replayed his memory of a meeting when Miscavige grabbed the heads of two church executives and knocked them together. One came away with a bloody ear.
Mark Fisher remembered precisely what he told Miscavige after the punches stopped and Fisher touched his head, looked at his palm and saw blood.
These and other former Scientology staffers are talking now, inspired and emboldened by the raw revelations of four defectors from the church's executive ranks who broke years of silence in stories published recently by the St. Petersburg Times... |
Read on. It only gets worse.
And the beat goes on. The Church of Scientology is a criminal organization. And yet its legitimacy is recognized by this country.
It boggles the mind...

| Trouble is that these are all anecdotal and also, you hear tales like this about lots of religious groups. The problem is proving the activities are taking place, and then proving that they are endorsed/sanctioned/ordered by the religion. |

We have not less than three thriving, little hives of these hitlerian scumbags here in North Carolina; Charlotte, Winston Salem and Greensboro. Here's a sample of their propaganda, intended to suck up to potential recruits. It consists mainly of people claiming how great Scientology has made them feel. Scientologist Tim Holcomb is Now Better At Communicating
I am better at communicating with others no matter the type of individual or the content of conversation or the circumstance. It's easy now starting a conversation and getting along with others.

Thomas Goedeke, a Scientologist
Find out about Thomas and his personal experiences with Scientology philosophy in North Carolina. Find out what Scientology philosophy has done for him and what it can do for you.

Scientologist Fred Katz Does a Communication Course
Fred talks about how the Scientology technology was the answer. “I went into New York City to check it out. I took a basic communication course. Almost immediately my confront of my surroundings and other people increased.”

And so forth ad faecium.
This is a foulness, a bubonic blight upon the face of any town, state, country or continent that hosts or even tolerates any part of them. I've no doubt that the stories told in Kil's link are true, I've read and even heard others told by reliable people, indeed, too many to ignore.
Unfortunately, there is no contact button in the link I posted above so there is no way to drop the wolfen kiddies a profane, little love note, and it wouldn't make any difference if there was. They know they're hated by people who think.
I rather suspect that, as all the people mentioned in the article have e-address' available, contact must be made through them. Pretty cute, eh? Can you say: "Cat's paw?" or "Brainwashed victim of pseudo-religious grift?" or "Sucker?," because they'll never get an even break from the incubus' that now own their figurative souls.
