Should that read WINNING or WHINING?

You are SO BRAINWASHED by now and have invested SO MUCH MONEY and LIFE ENERGY that you are incapable of looking critically at the CoS, because if you did it might mean that you had wasted your ENTIRE life on a scam.

Then demonstrate even a SMALL OT ability. Change the incorrect spelling of your original post to the correct one. After all it is only ONE LETTER...
surely that is not beyond the ability of an OT who has been training for FORTY YEARS. Could the truth be that you have remained in the CoS because you cannot possibly admit that you have wasted your life. Magoo came to this realization....at least she had the GUTS to admit it to herself.

Typical Scieno propaganda. If you do not agree with this statement you MUST be a criminal. YADAYADAYADA.

Typical Scieno propaganda. The usual historical horror story to scare people into buying into their thought reform program....only Scientology can FREE you from becoming or eating human soup right?

You people keep spitting out this FOR PROFIT line like it is a dirty word. Where is the evidence that the LMT has made ANY money from their existence?
I think Bob Minton has spent far more money out of his desire to tell the truth about the CoS than he has made from it. You people still CAN NOT admit that you create your own enemies. You people perked his interest and pushed all the right buttons to get him to react. Now that he is fighting you, you want him to go away. You NEED him there so that you have an enemy to sell to your rich parishioners. Geez.....talk about PTS.

Another typical sales pitch....Hey WE are the good guys...look at what the BAD guys do! We are definitely AGAINST Hitler...
.SPARE ME the age old black or white propaganda.

When has the CoS EVER chosen an outsider to cast a valid opinion over their own skewed writings?.......the answer.....NEVER. Unless they manage to REG the person quickly enough.

It also deprived Lisa McPherson of LIFE. Was that GOOD CONTROL when they forced aspirin and benadryl down her throat? Was that why she was puking up black vomit (probably blood) when she was force fed these drugs on an empty stomach?
Have you ever SEEN the photos of her dead? If you had the GUTS to look at them you would KNOW that she was ABUSED by your so called church.

Scientology is the very antithesis of a religion. It has brought NOTHING to all religions. It considers other religions to be OFFBEAT PRACTICES. Hubbard said there was no Christ. LRH even claims to be the reincarnated Buddha ! You are following a raving LUNATIC !!!

Yes, you wish the family of Lisa McPherson was fighting for justice all alone.
They would be MUCH EASIER to handle than a rich businessman.
I do not remember reading that Bob MInton was caught breaking into government offices, unlike the CoS, who are a criminally convicted CHURCH !!

The E Meter IS NOT a religious artefact ! You and I BOTH know that. Sure it was PROCLAIMED to be one after the raids, so that the CoS could not be accused of practising medicine.

What about your own Dennis Clarke? He is MUCH more offensive than ANY picketer.

You OBVIOUSLY have only read material printed by the CoS. I have read BOTH. Why is it that YOU are unable to do the same?
