What isolated incidents? I'm talking about church policy, not just Paulette Cooper. It's their policy to get as much money as possible, break up families, get people off important medication and be aggressive against critics. That's not an incident, that's standard procedure.

And if their policies say to "trick, sue, lie to or destroy" their enemies, how is that NOT a causal link?

You do realize the FBI raided Scientology headquarters in 1977, right? And that they found documents about illegal activity against both the US government and enemies of the church (framings)? Not only that, but the plans were written by the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, and 11 high-ranking members of the church were convicted of charges.

Again, your entirely ignoring what I am saying. I am 100% positive that it is not the official policy of the CoS to "break up families and make as much money as possible.  Likewise, I'm sure thats not the official policy of the exclusive brethren group I mentioned (an example you flatly ignored).  You have no conclusive proof whatsoever, you cannot possibly establish a causal link.  I fully agree that this number of isolated incidents is enough to warrant a full Senate or Federal Court enquiry, but as of now all you have is defamatory accusations. 

I could stand for the defamatory accusations, if they were coming from someone who was happy to be identified and called upon to back up their allegations.   But to completely deny natural justice to a group perported to have over half a million followers is absolutely ridiculous.  Do you not realize that in declaring anyone who disagrees with him guilty of the same crimes he is accusing the CoS of, ssj12 adopted the very same tactics he is accusing the Church of.
