Hello Again.

I have just written to Congressman Earl Blumenauer, Third District, for Oregon, about taking the cult&#039;s tax status away from them. Yes, I am one small voice, but with the petition that I have signed to take away the tax status, plus other small voices speaking up and signing, our voices will become a whisper, then a normal voice, then a scream, then a tornado that will wipe the cult&#039;s tax free status away for good. 

I encourage that you write to your congressman asking them to take away the tax free status of Scientology.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Everyone.

Today Oct. 15, 2017, I was curious as to how the Portland, Oregon cult was doing. The place I think has been in the same place since in the early &#039;80&#039;s. It is (or was) a store front, now with the huge &quot;Scientology&quot; sign. As it was noon time, there was plenty of people walking by the &quot;church&quot; but nobody going in. There was nobody in the place, and instead of having people out on the sidewalk hawking their wares, they just put out a small table with their different material and a couple of very poorly put together DVDs. 

DVDs: Dianetics, an introduction. 
The way to Happiness, both the DVD and booklet. Really dumb. 

A free personality test with the (&quot;Oxford Capacity Alalysis&quot;) in which you answer questions (200) and then come in to the cult and get the read-out, or you can call for a scheduled FREE one-on-one analysis and consultation. Or mail your result.

Personal Efficiency Course: &quot;In just 21/2 hours, you will gain a working knowledge of the eight fundamental principles that improve all areas of life.&quot; There is 8 sections to the course, but it does not say the price. 

&quot;Break Through&quot; a paper advertising &quot;Dianetics.&quot;

So, it looks like this is what Portland has come to.]]></description>

Beth Brown you said it.  I believe you have helped shine a bigger light on this &quot; cult &quot;.  They are a oppressive group of people who are delusional.  Those who have freed themselves from this modern day bondage, good job.  These people who remain are akin to the KKK they and only they will inherit the earth, of course it will be with Satan.  There is no reason for their tax exempt status and the abuses are so easily proven now with social media.  I pay taxes for my D.A. to uphold justice and bring those who have broken the law to court of their peers (that is kind of laughable) and take  punishment befitting these crimes.  And let us not forget the civil suits, that is how they convicted O.J..]]></description>

There almost ought to be a word for poor-deluded-young-unwitting-cult-member-schadenfreude.  

I look forward to stories and books by 3rd generation staff Scientologists, for when they get out and educate enough to relive and tell their actual lives&#039; and equally ludicrous  details.  

Will it ever stop?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you want to make the greatest impact on Scientology...go directly the Universities and educate them in regard to the abuses.  Show the scale and the 99.9999% of Caucasians within that &quot;religion&quot;.  Like one guest said...satire is hard to go against. Use their own policies and practices &quot;against&quot; them just as their policy states this is the way to do it. Use their own policies to show their abuses.  What has been done so far is phenomenal, but one station is not enough. Use their own list to show gay values. Show the financial gains that this &quot;Church&quot; gets for tax exemptions to buy buildings while this &quot;Church&quot; could be using their money to help the African Americans to go &quot;clear&quot;. Go to the Labor Board and the Child Labor Department and ask why they&#039;re Sea Org members aren&#039;t paid at least minimum wage and ask for a review of their books. Just because poa is signed by parents doesn&#039;t give them a right to not provide certain safety for youth. This happens every day in Tax Exempt organizations. Take the approach with the African American leaders, comedians, etc., that they are not approached and educate them on how thiis is racist and oppressive. Just like they have ads for centering in on poor neighborhoods for smokers.  Show how Scientologists don&#039;t give back to the poor neighborhoods, but just deplete it even further. Have BLM march on their premises to ask where all this tax exempt revenue is going to help save the world.. but not the one race that only includes .001% of it.  Turn the tables on everything that has been taught.  Continue to put the actors up front and center. Point them out and don&#039;t quit.  Bring them out into the public in a steady stream of information from every side. If they&#039;re actors are as proud as T. C. is...why not put some fire under his ass.  Use policy that they practice against them. Racism is just that..racism.  You can&#039;t sugar coat it.  Freedom of religion only seems to be important when it serves them in this &quot;religion&quot; and is not the overall feeling among these groups when it comes to other religions such as Christianity.  As an old use of terminology..make it &quot;not cool&quot; to be a Scientologist among our youth and the college educated. If the Independent Scientologists want to still practice, have them start their own groups with it&#039;s own name in order not to oppress them. Go to sponsors of every LGBT and BLM groups and approach them with these facts.  Go to the &quot;African American&quot; and &quot;LGBT&quot; stations, sponsors and leaders to draw attention to the oppressiveness this group has toward African Americans and members of the LGBT.  Ask them to help boycott Scientology and bring out the dangers of it.  Let&#039;s face it, it&#039;s on A&#038;E...not OWN or Ellen.  Ellen is all about equality and love for all.  Put her to the test.  Ask Oprah to have DM on the Super Soul Sunday Show to explain exactly how the CofS helps African Americans in this country.  Bring it front and center the same way they bring all the atrocities of former members or the media that goes against them.  Ask Ellen and Oprah assist in bringing attention to the abuses. Start a list of sponsors of Scientology...if that even exists...since the membership is the one that seems to pay Scientology&#039;s way.  The media today doesn&#039;t seem to have a problem attacking our own President, Christianity, Mormons, Natzis..so why is Scientology off limits with them?  Why wouldn&#039;t they bring more light to the abuses of this &quot;religion&quot;?  What scares them that much about it?  Figure that out and you have it exactly where you want it.  And what about temporary homes for those that leave?  Why isn&#039;t there funding for this?  Just a little naïve FYI from another person from a different &quot;religion&quot;]]></description>
