Scientology 2009...Year Of Epic Fail - Page 3
If you asked the general public what the Sea Org is, most people wouldn't know. But hopefully, more and more people are starting to learn about this abused sect behind Scientology.
The sad stories from former ex members are coming out more and more these days. Many ex members still live in fear, do to Scientology's family disconnection policies and Scientology's litigious nature of silencing their critics. Scientology is finally starting to lose this war and they will find it impossible to silence the new onslaught of ex members coming forward with their stories.
In Florida, a mom filed a suit against Scientology, claiming that her son Kyle Brennan died at the hands of Scientology because the father who was a Scientologist denied the son his anti depression medication. The father tried to put his son Kyle into a Narconon drug treatment program. (Narconon is a Scientology front group name and the exact same treatment that Travolta's son Jett was put through)
Sadly, Kyle ended his life by shooting himself. Yet another tragic Scientology related death. Click for a copy of that case.
Another blow to Scientology in February, was the release of ex Scientology Sea Org member John Duigan's book, The Complex. A very damaging book that tells the sad story of his escape from Scientology, after being a member for twenty two years.
It was also announced that Marc Headley's book, Blown For Good, Behind The Iron Curtain Of Scientology was set to hit book stores later in the year.
The veil of secrecy continued to lift, with the story of ex member Jeff Hawkins, who spent more than 40 years in the cult and was interviewed by many media outlets and ABC's KATU news.
Anti Scientology critics, Mark Bunker and Doug Owens were arrested at Scientology's Golden Era Productions aka Gold Base for "trespassing" while attending a protest there. They were walking across the driveway of the gate to Gold Base, when Scientology spokesperson Catherine Fraser (who was present) had them arrested by citizen's arrest. Oh Catherine, Barney Phife would have loved you. *snicker*
The kicker of this arrest is, that both Mark and Doug were not on Scientology's property. The charges were of course later dropped due to lack of evidence. (what a surprise)
Another prime example of the cult taking up police time and tax payers money with frivolous arrests. Scientology should have been charged for making false arrests and fined.
There was another arrest at Gold Base for another Scientology protester who goes by the name of "Angy Gay Pope". He was arrested at Gold base for "stomping on the cult's pansies". I kid you not.
See the day of the protest, the cult turned sprinklers on the protesters, even though there was a watering ban in effect that day for that area. Of course the cult was never fined for this crime. WHY?
