This "church" destroys families and lying is their way of life. Don't accept their soft-sell for a second. It's all a ruse. It's all dishonest. And no, Lois, I am not misinformed. I've lived it. Good detective work, Ian. There is a whole lot more than this typically insidious action by the COS to be skeptical of. This “church” destroys families and lying is their way of life.

I like it a lot. Anyway...I think the most important issue is that the government is handing out religious doctrines of any kind. It doesn't matter what religion. And it's no use arguing with a Scientologist, he's been brainwashed. Or maybe I have...? Hi Ian, this is my first post on your site. I like it a lot.

Anyway…I think the most important issue is that the government is handing out religious doctrines of any kind. It doesn’t matter what religion.

And it’s no use arguing with a Scientologist, he’s been brainwashed. Or maybe I have…?

But they appear to diverge quite significantly on the role of the "church" and their method of spreading the word. 2) Any links to back that up? To reiterate, I have nothing personally against Scientology. To each their own. But I am suspect of any church that has government soldiers handing out pamphlets to an unsuspecting crowd of citizens. 1) Actually, I did know that Scientology shares many aspects of Buddhist philosophy.

The sources of Buddhist and The Scientology are the same. But you can't to know that because you judge Scientology on the false datas. 2) The most extensive investigation by the IRS over a period of 10 years on the Scientology announced that the Founder has not made a cent. Check your sources again, this site is an anti-scientology site. When you need a plumber you do not ask the advice of a doctor. Best regards Lois Hi Ian

I personally am drawn towards the Buddhist one. Other people don't have to use that solution. And 2) I very highly doubt that was George Orwell who said that. http://www.cosvm.org/startit.htm Hi Lois – 1) There are many solutions out there. I personally am drawn towards the Buddhist one.
