"Scientology is both immoral and
socially obnoxious...It is corrupt, sinister and dangerous. It is corrupt
because it is based on lies and deceit"
I think Scientology is breaking the law and hurting people, and I want them to stop.

Scientology's
Lies
-
Scientology is based on lies. Scientology
lies to Scientologists, and Scientology lies to the rest of the world.
World's fastest growing religion? 8,000,000 members? Compatible with Christianity?
ALL LIES. Check out a few of Scientology's biggest whoppers.

Scientology's
Crimes
-
Scientology itself, the corporation,
was convicted in Canada of breach of the public trust for an organized
conspiracy to break into government offices. A police investigation in
Clearwater, FL - Scientology's headquarters - recommended RICO charges.
High-ranking Scientologists have been convicted of a variety of crimes,
including manslaughter and stealing documents from government offices.
The head of Scientology currently faces charges of fraud and other crimes
in Spain. Scientology is breaking the law, every day of the year.

What's Wrong
with Scientology?
-
If you haven't read much about Scientology
yet, you may not know why so many people are speaking out against it. Scientology
locks people up, tries to suppress free speech, terrorizes its critics,
and defrauds the public.
-
The Human
Face of Scientology
-
Scientology hurts people. Many of those
people are Scientologists, but Scientology hurts non-Scientologists as
well.
-
If
You're A Scientologist
-
... you may wonder why I'm criticizing
something that's important to you. I don't want to destroy Scientology,
I just want Scientology to stop hurting people and breaking the law. If
you're willing to confront the truth, please read some of these links,
and some of the information under The Human Face
of Scientology.
