Scientology Is In Trouble


If you are as interested in the downfall of Scientology as I am, then I encourage you to read anything and everything by Village Voice editor, Tony Ortega. The guy is brilliant and spends a great deal of his journalistic energy on bringing down Scientology. He has a great, but very long article about Marty Rathbun and the torture he has gone through the past five months because of the attack first policy of Scientology. Marty and some of the other recent defectors from Scientology are starting to have a serious effect, because the defectors are the rich people. If no one can afford to buy all the programs and services then the house of cards will come tumbling down. You get the feeling that all it will take is one spark and then Scientology as we know it would be no more. I don't care what religion you practice, I just don't think its right to make people have to pay to succeed in your religion, and if they try and leave, to hunt them down and make them come back. I don't think it is right to make someone sign a billion year contract to work for free and control their lives. I don't think it is right to split parents from their children forever just because a parent leaves the religion. Anyway, I hope you have a chance to read Tony's article.
