Question: Then why did high profile ‘actors’ like Tom Cruise promote the CLOT SHOT so much if they are ‘against’ pharmaceuticals? There were many more as well as Tom.

I really enjoyed the article. But there is way more to the Church of Scientology than their feud with the govt. (Reminds me of 2 mafia families fighting for control.)

I lived in L.A. for many years and had many encounters with them. Have you ever seen Leah Rimini's accounts of her time with them? Truly abusive to children who happen to have Scientology parents. Many of the kids say they were sexually abused by adults in the camps where parents sent them away at very young ages. They also don't believe in attachment parenting. Quite the opposite.

And God help you if you try to leave. I had friends who left, but their church made their life hell for doing so. One of the rules is that if you leave, none of the members are allowed to have anything to do with you at all, even if they are family! Shunning on steroids.

And those same agents who fight the government go full on terrorist on anyone who leaves. I actually met someone whose job it was to harrass and torture anyone who wanted to leave. She eventually got that same treatment herself when she left.

And their recruitment process is unnerving. They tried to recruit me. I wasn't interested, but they resorted to shaming and name calling.

They don't really believe in God, but a God dynamic. (not judging, don't care what they believe) And L. Ron admitted he wanted the business he started to be a church for tax reasons. All in all, they fit the definition of a cult. (again, I don't care if anyone wants to be in a cult or not, just stating fact.)

However, I do admire their stance on psychiatrists and drugs and they were correct that the AMA was wrongly targeting chiropractors. Just adding more info about them.
