First of all yes I did put 'Cult' in the topic title purely because it can only be best described as a cult and NOT a religion. I just saw a BBC report on Scientology and was completely disgusted by how they reacted all of the way through the documentary. The reporter in question was followed endlessly for days and was also question very rudely by a Scientologist high up in their order. In my opinion he was doing a completely fair documentary (however having heard of them before I did already have my set opinions on this) and thought it was going well. In this report it showed that a common way for them to recruit is to offer a 'stress test' where they see if they have the crazy alien thing within them (this may not be precise but I don't think it is too far off). I think this is falsely leading people into Scientology if they like it or not. They were also recruiting people in the recent Virginia Tech tragedy. With all of this in mind I feel that the entire organization is a sham and the fact that the creator of this religion was apparently a schizophrenic and effectively a fiction author can't be too great either. Last of all they showed footage of people in the Holocaust and blamed this on Psychologists. They were effectively brainwashing people with their own version of events and using the holocaust as an excuse. I can only describe them as sick bastards for doing this.

If anyone can find it anywhere it is BBC program called Panorama and it really is worth a watch. All I have here is a youtube link where the reporter looses it (in my opinion he kept his composure very well as I would have punched the irritating bastard).

Sorry if this thread doesn't read well at all I wrote it when I was rather angry but hopefully you would have gotten the gist of it.

Discuss.


Wish I know this was coming on, guess I will have to watch the repeats later.

Yeah, its a money making cult, lots of idiots are in it, but thats life, what do you expect? lol
