  Scientology MUST lose its tax-exempt status. And they need to be prosecuted for kidnapping and human trafficking. And sued out of existence.

  If you cannot leave a religion then it isn't a religion.  It is a cult.  Plain and simple.

  It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

  Kudos to 60 minutes Australia for ALWAYS having the guts to speak out against this horrible human trafficking cult.  When other news organizations wouldn't do these stories, you were and still are.  Bravo!

  This is just a scratch in the surface. Imagine all the crimes they’ve hidden. Every one of those cult leaders needs to be investigated.

  I had a scientologist boss who literally cried to get me to go to them. I was 23. I paid $5 for the beginning Comm Course, a boring attempt to get me and others to speak their lingo. I had zero interest in them, but their person tried to pressure me to continue. I got annoyed with her and told her she seemed to be under the impression that I owed her something, but that I wasn't under the same impression. She said I was a "subversive", and I rolled my eyes and left. Bunch of nut jobs.

  Why should you have to sign a contract to be apart of a church? This is insanity!

  It is and always has been illegitimate for a CHILD to sign any form of contract. Well done 60 minutes. You can always count on Scientology to make threats.

  Why the hell any government lets them call their organization a "religion" is beyond me.

  This is a prison that you pay to be in. Why?
