I agree. Very good advice. I have often wondered what would happen if Sea Org staff could take cell phone video/photos of the inhumane conditions, the crappy food, or the toxic construction environments they are forced to work in.

I hope more information makes it way into the hands of the authorities soon.

Thank you Anette for what you are doing. I’ll have to think about the downfall of Scientology Inc, I Think , as long as Miscavige has billions, It is not ready to stop.
The sheeple don’t read newspapers and they drink unlimited amounts of Kool-Aid!

There is something I don’t understand. As long as the core of Scientologists is still strong, how come Geir is so optimistic that this nightmare will dissapear? It’s still unclear how it will be done: as an implosion or a massive escape of members?

True. But the hard part is that people behind the iron curtain of Scientology are so conditioned and afraid to report anything. They believe they have done something bad for this to happen to them. They think they deserve it.
Some who have left have later reported abuses they have experienced or witnessed. But if the police went in and questioned the victims inside Scientology they would lie and say it never happened. They are trained to lie to authorities. They are trained to believe they are above the law. They have the tools to save the world. Of course they can get away with anything. Any abuse can be justified. That’s the mindset. The cult mindset. It is also called Stockholm Syndrome / Battered Person Syndrome.
It took me a while to figure this out as it is a really mind-bothering issue.

I see. You’re right, I didn’t think about it. But still, laws have to protect religions, not abuses.

They hide behind the First Amendement that "prohibits the making of any law impeding the free exercise of religion".

I wonder who’s covering them on the top? (Congress, Senate, maybe White House). One simply cannot be so huge, illegitimate and evil without a political protection. Only money are not enough. Al Capone had plenty of money, but still he went in Alcatraz.

Good advice!
