Racoon Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Does anyone have another link to that video? It didn't work for me....It didn't work for me either Sanctus, and I would be curious to view it as well.. I did read the wiki on scientology... It is an interesting read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ScientologyThe ongoing controversies involving the Church and its critics include: Scientology's harassment and litigious actions against its critics and enemies. Some critics charge Scientology with being a cult of personality, with much emphasis placed on the alleged accomplishments of its founder. Scientologists claim that government files, such as those from the FBI, are loaded with forgeries and other false documents detrimental to Scientology [citation needed], but have never substantiated this accusation. Unexplained deaths of Scientologists, most notably Lisa McPherson, allegedly due to mistreatment by other members. Scientology's disconnection policy, in which members are encouraged to cut off all contact with friends or family members critical of the Church.[37] Lobbying search engines such as Google and Yahoo to omit any webpages that are critical of Scientology from their search engines (and in Google's case, AdSense), or at least the first few search pages (now however, a search for Scientology on Google and Yahoo brings up the Wikipedia page, with both critical and official Scientology websites). The use of high-pressure sales tactics to obtain money from members. Multiple criminal activities by Scientologists, both those committed for personal benefit (Reed Slatkin, Gabriel Williams, and others) and those committed on behalf of the Church and directed by Church officials (Operation Snow White, Operation Freakout, Fair Game, and others). Numerous claims of brainwashing and mind control. Differing accounts of L. Ron Hubbard's life, in particular accounts of Hubbard discussing his intent to start a religion for profit.

Racoon Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Recent News articles about Scientology and one of its leading supporters, Tom Cruise... http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2006/09/brad-greys-scientology-scare.php And I clipped this tidbit from a very good read @http://www.hollywoodinterrupted.com/archives/hollywood_tellall_book_exclusive_pellicanos_enforcer_the_heterosexual_tom_cruise_and_more_scandal_chapter.phtml "Sounds to me that the possible wire-tapping and unmarked van outside your apartment has Scientology written all over it," reminding him that Tom Cruise happened to be a high ranking Scientologist, regarded by the cult as a God. "You come down on Tom Cruise, you risk having the weight of the entire cult coming down hard on your ***." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I think I figured out which video it is by searching for the long quote in the first post. It's a 37 min recruitment tool called Orientation: A Scientology Information Film. But I think that first link was a bootleg of it, because it seems to be pulled from the internet. Go figure... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(film) Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
