First and last time I plan to address Barbara. I am not David Rice. I don't always agree with David Rice's postings, as it is a bit too far left for me, but I DO respect his opinions. I know David has been a critic for far longer time than me.

I can assure everyone here that I have never met anyone on this newsgroup, and probably never will. There is no "Church" of Scientology in my country.

I used to think that Scientology was a bit kooky, but the more I read critic's sites, it became obvious that Scientology:

- is not a church

- has nothing to do with religion, except for gaining tax exemption

- actually considers all religions (except Scientology, of course) to be false "implants" from space aliens billions of years ago

- harasses anyone who speaks ill of it, even if it is true

- uses criminal tactics, including murder (RJ 45), that were ordered by its founder

- tells lies regarding just about everything it does

- lies to its members, using bait and switch to charge for Xenu and upper levels after being slowly brainwashed

- is one of the most dangerous cults around (there are worse cults, but not as widespread as Scientology)

A few of the sites that led me to the above conclusions:

www.xenu.net http://www.lermanet.com http://www.truthaboutscientology.com http://www.ecotao.com/holism/theism/index.html http://www.scientology-lies.com/ http://www.scientology-kills.org/ http://www.snafu.de/tilman http://freehenson.da.ru/ http://www.lisamcpherson.org/ http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/OTIII/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology http://www.holysmoke.org/more-theta.htm http://www.firstchurchofxenu.com/

There are many more excellent sites, these are just a few.

There are many creative and witty writers in the world. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. So I have been trying to post copies of articles and blogs that are from "non-critics". Just ordinary people that are starting to see Scientology for what it really is: a vicious, destructive cult.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are good targets for blogs and newspapers, since Tom has set himself up as the spokesperson for Scientology, and to more and more people, Katie Holmes is being seen as brainwashed by Tom and Scientology. Tom will give criticism, but will not allow himself to receive it.

Barbara, I have said all that I plan to say to you, and do not plan on addressing you or responding to any more, since you are plainly crazy. Can anybody else on ARS explain to me how Barbara, who is in USA illegally, is obviously crazy, and has long harrassed the USA government, has not been deported back to Germany? I really don't understand.

One last note to everyone else, unlike most posters here, I probably have a different "agenda". Freedom of speech is rather restricted in my country. I post here as an exercise in freedom of speech. In the Western world, you may not quite understand what I am talking about right now.
