(5,169 posts)Please do even the lightest bit of research into the history of this cult. Look up "Suppressive Persons" and "Dead Agenting" and the ways they use the legal system, the media, lies and half-truths to attack their critics and apostates.
Learn about Sea Org and the Office of Special Affairs. Find out about how they enslave people to pay for their auditing etc.
In a world full of messed up religions, their particular brand of well-financed hogwash is some of the most disturbing. As far as I am concerned, if you want to believe some galactic overlord sent billions of souls to their "deaths" in a volcano in Hawaii between 65 million and 4 quadrillion years ago, and the reason people have issues now is because of the traumatic memory of that, that is YOUR business. But when you go destroying other people's lives - whether you are hiding behind a cross, a crescent, a star, or a volcano - THAT is F-ed up and deserves attention.
