In case you’re still lost as to what the heck is going on, a Scientology Run is when people film themselves charging into a Church of Scientology building to see how far they can get before being caught and booted out. It’s a notoriously secretive religion, so it turns the whole place into an action-movie set piece where the protagonist is trying to infiltrate a compound while fending off its legion of foot soldiers, clad in terrifying white button-ups with black vests.


Fuck off with this whitewashing. Scientology isn’t “hokey” or “shady”. It’s outright evil.
and its not a religion.
It only has tax exempt status due to one of the largest infiltration and attacks against the US government in the entire history of America.
And we know this, and yet our government has done nothing to purge this national security threat from our government.
Do tell.

both are long reads, but well worth it to just get started in understanding just how fucking vile and criminal scientology is, especially when it comes to getting what it wants.
and thats before you even get into the harassment, blackmail, torture, human rights abuses, kidnapping, robbing members of their life savings and even homes and property, etc, etc, etc.
Bruh
And why does the journalist call it a religion? It’s a cult.
Or a for profit company, under German law.
Weird way to spell “do shit like boil them alive”.
Wow. I missed that one.

This reads like a guy afraid of getting sued
It reads like someone who accepts that religion/storytelling/folktales always have and always will have a place in our society.
Scientology really does try to push that concept far past its breaking point though. In my opinion, its a money and blackmail type situation, where dumb famous/rich people are taken advantage of.
Yeah 100%. Also not a religion where I live thankfully.
