LOL! By whose standards, Jamie? Those of a cult that has been convicted of FRAUD? Because I can tell you that it certainly isn’t by the standards of society.

Sorry, but a 50 year old cult that was just yesterday convicted of fraud in France– not just the top members but the entire church– does not equate to an ancient religion that has earned its stripes by virtue of survival and reform over 2,000 years.

Does the Pope attack his staff in sureal and bizarre fashion? Has the entire Catholic Church been convicted of fraud? Does the Pope disconnect parents from their children to make them more viable targets for cult indoctrination?

LOL, Jamie, anyone who asks questions is insane?

I posit that your suggestion is insane.

To those who would say "move along, nothing to see here" I would suggest googling "the truth rundown".

As exposed by the St. Petersburg Times in June and August, the COS is run like goodfellows, with brutal beatings of staff members. These are beatings by a cult leader of his staff members. These beatings take place virtually every day. Also, the COS was convicted of fraud in France yesterday– the entire church, for scamming its members. Suriprise surprise.

I beleive that if RLH was still around this would not be happening and it would be openly discussed that his religion is based on a platform of extra terrestrials.

While I personally consider the belief system to be more looney tunes than any of the major religions out there, people are entitled to believe in what they want.

Anonymous, critics, and former members do not care about the Church of Scientology’s beliefs. We care about its crimes. Crimes like the Disconnection policy, Fair Game policy, the human trafficking, slave labor, child labor, the Rehabilitation Project Force (which is reminiscent of a prison work camp), the brutal reign of David Miscavige who beats his staff, and the threats of blackmail and forced imprisonment to those who are on staff or in the SeaOrg and try to leave.

We have not come for what you believe, we’ve come for what you’ve done.

The questions are offensive, out of line, and not in any way a serious attempt to get information about the religious beliefs and practices of Scientologists.

Let me tell you, as human beings, the only difference you will see between the "average" human being, and a properly practicing Scientologist, is a Scientologist has higher standards, morals, and are usually more likely to succeed in what they do. If that means becoming a famous actor, making a ton of money, or just being a happy housewife in a good household. Scientology is for everyone. Not just for the few and specially "chosen." Also, there is no such thing as "the best auditors" – all auditors are trained to professional level. There is the internship period, and there is the time when they are LEARNING that they may not be as good as a completely certified auditor. But then, a interning doctor, or music student, would not be as good as a Professional doctor or musician.

Don't be dumb, seriously. The religion does not turn you into a "zombie" or a "mind-controlled" freak. In case you haven't noticed, mistakes have been made, anger has been shown, and people are still people. Grow up and start to appreciate the diversity of beliefs on this Planet. No need to be so malicious, and its not getting anywhere. So stop.
