Now they are denying the Xenu / aliens / hydrogen bombs / volcano / evil spirits story.

They are a dangerous cult that needs to be watched carefully and have their religion tax exemption lifted.

Sadly Australia hasn't removed their tax free status so the official home base for their financial affairs is actually in Adelaide.

We want our government to remove their tax exemption status pronto.

More people who want their money back ...

The Garcias and their attorneys held a press conference Wednesday morning, during which Babbitt said, "I've sued the biggest companies in the United States ... I'm not afraid of taking on the Church of Scientology."



Now, the Garcias have filed a lawsuit that accuses church leader David Miscavige of turning Scientology into little more than a fraudulent money-making scam.

"The Church, under the leadership of David Miscavige, has strayed from its founding principles and morphed into a secular enterprise whose primary purpose is taking people's money," the complaint says. (We've requested a statement on the lawsuit from church spokeswoman Karin Pouw.)

But I can hear an eerie, white noise coming from the corridor.

What is that sound? I wonder. "Is that noise from the E-Meters?" I ask.

Oh, that. The Scientologists explain the noise is all about privacy. Ms Stewart says it's used to block out sound so people cannot hear what's going on in the booths. And so they don't get disturbed by things happening outside.

In Scientology, no one can hear you being audited.

"Every corridor has the white noise," she explains, matter-of-factly.

Interesting this, as Jehovah witnesses buildings dont have windows.
They also started out saying they were the 144,000, later denying it.

Other facets of churches have been wrong, and have come clean, or is that clear ?😉

They have just found the magic formula for profiting off religion.

The Catholic church is probably kicking itself in the @ss for just passing around a little basket to collect money. When they should be charging for every confession and an entry fee.

Do they pay taxes?

If you're Jewish, the Temple just bills you based off your salary.

Do they pay taxes?

They were given tax-exempt status by the IRS in 1993 after settling a lawsuits and paying a $13M fine.

Way to play the system, eh?

Wanna open "The Mingo-Monster Church of Technological and Spiritual Enlightenment"?

"Many Australians think they are absolutely bonkers. For a number of reasons, the most significant being that they apparently believe that 75 million years ago, an alien warlord brought negative spirits to Earth which plague humanity to this day."

That is just another version of the Pandora myth.

The Pandora myth with rockets that look an awful lot like Air planes...

I dont have problems with religion, I have problems with religious organizations.

Its f*cked up what scientologists do to people who they disagree with, anyone heard about the forced labor camps they have setup? Its for their elite SeaOrg club, the messed up thing is there is nothing the government can do because the people want to be there.

Really just watch the south park episode where they tackle scientology.

Scientology is to religion as Taco Bell is to Mexican food.
