"Yo David Miscavige, I'm Really Happy For You, An Imma Let You Finish"

But I just wanna say,

Its not so much your beliefs that i oppose (although they are questionable) But rather Mr Miscavige, it's you and the 'church' itself. People are free to believe in whatever they choose, be it God, Jesus, Mohammed or the Almighty Xenu himself. Thats the beauty of living in a free country, a free world.

Freedom is something $cientology guarantees you, if you do exactly as they say. Critical Error #1

Its all about.. reaching that state of clear, being free in your body, in your mind, in your thoughts. Unless, of course, your thoughts disagree with those of the 'church'.

You might then be punished, audited, labelled a suppressive person or disconnected from your family. So I guess in the Concise $cientology Dictionary, the definition of freedom does not include freedom of speech. Critical Error #2

THE RELIGION OF SCIENTOLOGY
CREED OF THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY

We of the Church believe:

That all men of whatever race, color, or creed were created with equal rights;

That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance;

That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives;

That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity;

That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense;

That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist or support their own organizations, churches and governments;

That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others;

That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their own kind;

That the souls of men have the rights of men;

That the study of the mind and the healing of mentally caused ills should not be alienated from religion or condoned in non-religious fields;

And that no agency less than God has the power to suspend or set aside these rights, overtly or covertly.

And we of the Church believe:

That man is basically good;

That he is seeking to survive;

That his survival depends upon himself and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.

And we of the Church believe that the laws of God forbid man:

To destroy his own kind;

To destroy the sanity of another;

To destroy or enslave another’s soul;

To destroy or reduce the survival of one’s companions or one’s group.

And we of the Church believe that the spirit can be saved and that the spirit alone may save or heal the body.

Take note of the highlighted text.

If only this were true, it might be easier to consider $cientology an actual religion!

Sadly $cientology has been abusing the legal system for decades to attack its opponents and critics. Those with something other than a positive word to utter about the 'church'.

1991, for example.

Time Magazine printed an unfavourable article about $cientology.

$cientology proceeded to sue the magazine for a reported $400 000 000. The case was eventually dropped in Time's favour, 5 years and $7mil in lawyers fee's later.

1982,

Bonnie Woods, a former $cientologist, leaves the 'church'.

She is declared a (gasp!) Suppressive Person, her house is picketed and her family is followed by a private investigator.

Pamphlets sent out by the church are delivered around her neighbourhood making false claims and derogatory accusations regarding Mrs. Woods. She sues them for libel and they hit back with 3 claims of libel. After 6 years of litigation, the 'church' is made to pay back her costs and damages, and admits the claims made were false.

The 'church' have been known to use the law to their (unfair) advantage often taking opponents to court merely to financially wound them, knowing their case is probably not strong enough.

DM is a bad egg, everyone knows it... come on David even you know it!
