| Phendrana said: Yes it IS policy. It's how the church works. It's like saying where's the proof that Christians pray. I'm sure it doesn't say "Rule 1: Break up families" but that's what they boil down to. Let me break this up in to sections here since you apparently don't know how the church works (but act like you do). 1. Make as much money as possible. L. Ron Hubbard has said many times his purpose in creating Scientology was to make money. It costs close to $400000 to get all teachings of Scientology. They charge for every level you move up. 2. Break up families. They even have a term for this one. They call it "disconnection" when a member of the church is forbidden to be in any type of contact with anyone who doesn't support Scientology. The person moves into the Scientology headquarters where they remain isolated from their friends and families for years. Most families never hear from them again. 3. Get people off important medication. They are against psychiatry and forbid their members from taking any form of medication. They practice natural remedies instead. Even Tom Cruise has said this publicly. It's been documented that people on medication to control mental disorders and life threatening conditions such as schizophrenia had been removed from their medication. There have been documented deaths that have occurred because of this negligence. 4. Aggressiveness against critics. It was written in their policy procedures. That's about as close to policy as you can get. I understand your point about knowing your accusers, but it's been said countless times already the church will come after you if they know who you are. You've only responded by saying you don't believe they would do that. Don't blame us for not listening to your point when you shrug our reason off every time we say it. And just so you know, there are plenty of people who are accusing the church that aren't annonymous. Mark Bunker is one of the more outspoken people. Not counting big names, there are plenty of people who go to these protests without masks. Most people involved, however, would rather remain annonymous than have Scientologists follow them around (and yes, many people have reported being stalked by Scientologists member after attending these events).

I haven't once tried to defend the CoS. What I have repeatedely done is try to defend the right of Scientologists to due process and the fundamental human right of the presumption of innocence.
Once again, you have simply run off your interpretation of how the CoS acts and tried to pass it off as their official policy when it clearly is nothing of the sort. And then of course you resorted to the very childish "he disagrees with me, so he must be a scientologist."
I simply happen to believe that human beings have a few inalienable rights and should never be tried and sentenced by the media. If you don't agree with that belief, feel free to state that, but stop acting like I'm supporting the CoS when I have said and done nothing of the sort.
