A remarkable difference between Scientology and Mormonism is shown by how Mormons deal with public critics like the Tanners, who could still make a living in Salt Lake City despite their rejection and refutation of Mormonism, even being given some (grudging) respect:

That alone is sufficient evidence that not all religions or even “cults” are the same.

As a veteran myself, I welcome your agreement and thank you for your service.

No cast. Nothing. In development, which could mean that it has been lingering for years and will continue that way for years and years and…

He’s another nothing and nobody outside of $camology.

Scientology is a karma repair multi lifetimes therapy/exorcism practice.

Were Hubbard’s administrative and theory rules for membership not so controversial and abusive, and if Scientology were to just tell it like their soul beliefs are, then they’d get better reception.

No one in Scientology, all my years in it, and all my years out, has been able to give a better neutral definition that is descriptive and understandable and relatable to other soul beliefs, than what I worked out for myself.

Scientology is a therapy for our multi lives karma trauma, and then there is the whole 5 levels of exorcism to rid each of us of our surplus souls infestations, and supposedly we lose all the trauma our surplus souls were leaking into us, even after we each were “Clear” of our own personal karma trauma past life soul baggage.

Xenu dumped the surplus souls onto earth that infest all humans, and these surplus souls supposedly leak the R6 implants into everyone’s minds, so even when we each get Clear, we still need to do the Hubbard OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exorcism steps to rid ourselves of our “body-thetans” (the surplus souls Xenu implanted with the R6 implants and which infest all who haven’t done the OT levels 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7).

If Scientology stopped all their controversial and abusive practices on their followers and their “enemies” and if Scientology just told their beliefs straight, they’d at least stop being feared and hated.

An obvious slam on you all, Tony, the bloggers etc, supposedly making a living slamming the cult….

When all that’s left of said cult is a dwindling circle of old people regging each other for donos to get commissions and gaudy statues and buildings.

Eat your friends.

I’m afraid I have to agree with Alcoboy. (Maybe I’m just being a former member of the Armed Forces.)
