<description>&lt;p&gt;It is strange how Scientology likes to accuse others of things, when they themselves have a shocking record of human rights abuses, kidnapping, harassment, crimes against the government and causing deaths. 

In January this year, Martine Boublil was rescued by Italian Police, because she had been kidnapped and imprisoned by 4 Scientologists. Luckily the Scientologists have been arrested.

I suggest anyone interested in the many crimes of the Scientology Cult read more at http://truthtopplestyranny.blogspot.com&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Prove it, lagirl.

That&apos;s right, my associates and I haven&apos;t made any threats so you have no proof.

It&apos;s time to go through the looking class. Or, pull back the curtain.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Wow, I&apos;m a protester of the acts of scientology and i don&apos;t even know this &apos;garth and friends&apos;. Also, you just committed liable by saying directly that  this &apos;garth&apos; sent death threats. If we were the cos, you would be in court right now. Think about that.

Also, carrying on your line of research logic, who do i want to make a moral non violent stand against? Cheeto eating gaming dorks or a group that has been caught repeatedly infiltrating governments ala operation snow white, and the actions that got them booted from Greece in the 90&apos;s.   

Hmm. Its a tough call. Maybe this pack of cheetos will help me choose.....

Jokes aside LA girl 65. You FAIL terribly. You rant about research then label one side bored teens. I for one break that definition. And there are plenty more who do too. On the day of the march 15 protests the forum member count at enturbulation.org rose by 5000 in 24 hours.

Also, &apos;encyclopedia dramatica&apos; people. WTF?  So now if you are protesting scientology&apos;s actions you are automatically editing encyclopedia dramatica. Interesting. 

It is you who need to do some research.

Try here for a start, and when you are done visit a scientology site and note the marked differences.

And while you eat whatever it is you eat while at the computer(if at all) pause a moment to consider who is more childish, the person being hunted by PI&apos;s for taking a moral stand or the person bawwwing about them being childish.  &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;In fact laist covered one of their hysterical exploits a couple of months ago.

What a bunch of empty vessels.

<description>&lt;p&gt;If you look back a few pages you will see that Gareth and friends were leaving hundreds of death threats. Scientology sucks but Gareth and friends suck even more.

Does anyone realize how childish and meaningless the encyclopedia dramatica people are? I am not a fan of Scientology but I am glad that someone is putting the ED peons in their place. Do a little research, they are a bunch of bored cheetos eating gaming dorks. Scare them back to Gaia where they belong. What a bunch of retards. Grow up Gareth.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;As a former high ranking Scientologist, I can attest to the abusive practices the top brass executes against its own members.  David Miscavige, CEO of Scientology, would physically strike those who so much as displeased him.  Having been the subject of his abuse on several occasions, I can only say that at the time I was willing to put it up with it when I thought Scientology was helping to save the world.  If that&apos;s how Scientologists treat insiders, how do you think they view &quot;the enemy?&quot;  I know now it was all a complete lie.  Dianetics, CCHR, Narconon?  All scams who&apos;s sole purpose is to sell Scientology.  Psychiatry DOES work, not in all instances, but it&apos;s no more a pseudoscience than &quot;touch assists&quot; and niacin treatments.  The only thing that is real is Fair Game, the policy of destroying the lives of any who dare criticize them.  That, paired with the CoS&apos; hatred towards mainstream religions like Islam, Christianity, and Judaism shows they are the last people who should be calling anyone nazis, terrorists, or bigots &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;The Church of Scientology stalking and harassing teenagers and young people for peacefully protesting is disgraceful. Unfortunately, from what I&apos;ve read it appears that the CoS do have a history of killing critic&apos;s pets as a form of intimidation. I wish both Gareth, Sean and others they&apos;ve harassed all the best, from the sounds of things the CoS&apos; behavior has only encouraged them to speak out rather than scare them off.

You can see video of the LA protest here (including footage of Gareth being harassed):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erbXsAA5Q9o &lt;/p&gt;</description>
