Thanks for correctly naming Davey Boy as &#039;that guy from Jersey&#039;, not Philly as some have mis-stated.  (pet peeve.)]]></description>

Love the Rocky and Bullwinkle analogy , I would watch it religiously as a kid  ( was that the wrong thing to say ? ) .
There is heaps to read on the internet about Scamology as to where they have been banned or not recognised as a religion , Wikipedia is one , another is worldlibary.org and whyweprotest.net .
Thing is who do we tag in Scamology as Rocky and who as Bullwinkle ? . 
Unfortunately after some research I found that there is 1 office ( for want of a better word ) of Scamology here in my home state of Tasmania Australia , It&#039;s in Launceston but as to date have not found any others .
I will be keeping a close eye on this lot and if I see them in public trying to flog their BS , I will be publicly calling them out as the liars and a bare faced cult as we all know they are .]]></description>

Alcoboy, in the 60&#039;s &#038; 70&#039;s the S.O. was a sadistic organization run by the sadist Hubtard.  Degradation of members was routine.  Dangerous physical punishments were meted out to children by Hubtard hisself.

It&#039;s because they don&#039;t want to know the truth. In South Africa, it was claimed a WTH campaign had reduced crime in one prominent city by &quot;40%&quot;. Crime is rampant in South Africa and a hot topic of conversation. If that were really true, everybody would be talking about it. Not even scientologists spoke about it much, so they clearly never believed the hype. Crime statistics are well reported here, and didn&#039;t show any marked decrease.]]></description>

<p>It&#8217;s because they don&#8217;t want to know the truth. In South Africa, it was claimed a WTH campaign had reduced crime in one prominent city by &#8220;40%&#8221;. Crime is rampant in South Africa and a hot topic of conversation. If that were really true, everybody would be talking about it.

					<description><![CDATA[Whistleblowing Scientology is easy. The general public already knows the truth about Scientology, and they are not curious. They know about Aftermath and the damage done to practically anyone who has been in Scientology for many years. Freedom magazine is only read by Scientologists, which is true for the vast majority of readers. Are any of these numbers fact checked? No. The statistics are vastly inflated to keep the average Scientologist in a false paradigm based on false data and false news.

Here&#039;s my perspective on what it means to whistleblow on Scientology. They will always claim discrimination and bigotry, and an attack on their first amendment right. No lawyer wants to touch a Scientology case, nor any politician or any career law enforcement officer. I could speculate and say this actually emboldens the executives and sea org to carry out activities that are borderline illegal, perhaps illegal, because they know they can get away with it. The answer is to categorize them with their brethren, the groups that lil&#039; dave has spent his career trying to distance from; their cousins in whacked-out ideology: the bigfoot hunters, ghost hunters, ufo chasers, and even new-agers. Marginalize by exposing what their ideology really teaches: the truth about Scientology. 

There&#039;s a twitter poster by the name of @scientologylore that does a great job of helping categorize Scientology beliefs with these outlandish groups. That&#039;s what we need more of because the whistleblowers aren&#039;t doing it, in my opinion. The controversy surrounding Scientology needs be about exposing the eccentricity surrounding the beliefs. It attracts a lot of intellectuals, but let&#039;s all fact it: these lawyers, doctors, physicists, software engineers, and other PhD types are a bunch of eccentrics flying a false flag that they&#039;re legitimate and rational people. They&#039;re not. Handing money to a cult doesn&#039;t make you a humanitarian. It only allows that guy from Jersey to buy &#039;more-fancier&#039; buildings which distances Scientology more and more from those who Hubbard intended to help. I&#039;ll end with what Hubbard intended. You decide if handing over money, with no strings attached except to hire more foreigners as staff, to get statuses (group ack) in an eccentric and controversial pseudo-science religious group aligns with this goal:

“A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where Man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology.” -LRH]]></description>
