This person didn&#8217;t ask for this to be published, so I have hidden personal identifying details in case it might be a problem in some way. &#160; I saw a question [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; A recent interview with Alex Gibney in Rolling Stone where he was asked the following question, jogged my memory. I had the pleasure of seeing Going Clear at its Sundance premiere, which was pretty wild. Is Scientology still on your case? And I’ve done a lot of reporting on Scientology as well, so what’s it like [&#8230;]]]></description>

I believe the ongoing public policy violations alone should be the immediate end of scientology&#8217;s tax exempt status. Taylor points out how &#8220;Public Policy&#8221; has been narrowly interpreted to mean discrimination, but [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of our regular commenters, ISNOINews, pointed out this new decision reported in the UK. Since being denied charitable status in the UK in the early 2000&#8217;s, scientology has been attempting all sorts of end-runs to circumvent the decision of the Charity Commission. They once again fell falling short as the British regulatory agencies don&#8217;t [&#8230;]]]></description>
