OT TR 0 isn’t the death in tha cult thanks to ex-scienos.

Great film about a little JW boy abducted by a convict on the lam; “A Perfect World”. Clint Eastwood directed and has a role, Kevin Costner stars, but everyone in the film is superb. Chilling and very moving, a great script, very real in every way, giving an unbiased glimpse into the JW cult via this little boy.

“Lets not repeat what happened in Nazi Germany.”

Great, stop acting like Nazis. Problem solved.

I’d bet Foolproof’s a man, and British.

Me too. Don’t mess with Brooklyn!

This was a reply to foolproof (http://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-coming-further-unhinged/#comment-226148) that seems to have posted out of sync. I’m essentially asking him it’s ever okay to criticise a religion/ideology or if his butthurt just applies to scientology? (an obvious double standard).

“Hats off to Ted Koppel for keeping that freak in his chair on live TV…”

Ted Koppel won an Emmy for that show! Deserved it, eh? 🙂

mwestern, we have Fundamentalist Christians in this country who vote as a block, who believe that our current president was chosen by God and Jesus to be the Republican Party candidate. Divine Intervention caused him to run, and his winning was God’s Will. Ok. Now, in London, per some survey you’ve read, half of the Muslims there believe gays should be thrown in jail. Ok. And the Church of Scientology believes that anyone who leaves and speaks out about the abuses perpetrated by the cult is a dangerous, lying evil sociopath who can and should be with impunity silenced or destroyed by any means necessary. Back in the day there were a significant number of Americans who believed that African American slavery was ordained by God. I could go on with a long list of examples of religious insanity and extremism but that’s not necessary.

Other than the fact that religious fundamentalists are for the most part board certifiable nutjobs, what is your point?

We have freedom of religion in the western world and that freedom extends to the ignorant/obstinate/angry/intoloerant fundamentalist types, the “my way or the highway” types who cannot or will not deal with change or differing viewpoints and therefore gravitate to “scripture” that reinforces their fixed ideas.

Valerie, I’m afraid that Foolproof’s head is so deeply embedded up his butt that to remove it will require major surgery in the form of a sub-anal rectumectomy.

I would much prefer to see the mainstream media grow a pair with regards his scientology gag orders. It only needs one rebellious interviewer breaking rank to potentially bag the clip of a lifetime…
