These statistics from The Netherlands might make you smile: Estimated Scientology-members *100-200* Since 2015 no tax exempt Since 2016 Amsterdam (failing)Org. turned into bookstore and 12 appartments New 'office' next to a paper-recycle center in Amsterdam (Google-maps) So very glamorous! Also not referred to as 'religion' by the High Courts, but as a Commercial Enterprise (www.overheid.nl) This is how cheap we Dutchies are, we do not pay for our beliefs. But we are practical.

I totally agree, and the most significant obstacle blocking investigation is their tax-exempt status, which they fought tooth and nail to obtain. Miscavige realized the overall importance of obtaining it. As a religion, it gives them almost total carte blanche to do anything they want behind closed doors. If anything is to happen in the way of incisive investigation the tax-exempt status must be withdrawn.

as bad as scientology is, it is only possible because the human mind is wired in a certain way. a determined business corporation can exploit this human weakness for monetary ends. a sane society goal is to expose these charlatans for what they are and prevent them from prospering rather than tolerating them as crackpots with free reign to harm the vulnerable.

1:21:30 John Sweeney makes a stunning point, that is so vital to appreciate. The copper Sweeney once knew told Sweeney that the con man who really believed in the con were the really good con men. That is so relevant to L. Ron Hubbard, and to the answer of does David Miscavige today believe in Hubbard's Scientology. Yes is the answer, they really believe in their subject, and they don't think they are conning the world with what to outsiders obviously is a con. Not to them, not to Hubbard though, this wasn't a con.

These other large churches, show their financial reports on their websites. They show where their money goes; and shows they are non profit. That is one big difference -- also they do not have prisons on property; and nor hold people against their will. There's many things that are big differences. I know any church has to have monies coming in or they cannot keep the doors open. But there is a way to handle all of this; and these churches should not dictate how much families has to give...Scientology makes their people BUY these classes, so they are made to give so much money.. There is no choices here --

Yeah, Miscavige is recorded to be 5' - 1", or "4-13" as Headley likes to joke. I always thought it was interesting when you hear these stories of him physically assaulting these much larger and taller men. That must be some powerful mind control that stops someone much bigger from just swatting "Midge-cavige" and splattering him against a wall.

Question to put to those looking for people wishing to address the matter of child labour, contracts, etc. Is a contract with a minor in any way legally binding? I thought people had to be a certain age to even be considered legally able to sign a contract. Therefore, Sea Org contracts w/ minors should ALL be counted as null and void and the child slavery charges could progress from there.There's also the matter of informed consent with all of these things that needs to be taken into consideration.

Scientology and the leaders that continue to promote it have the love of power rather than the power of love. And that is the difference between light and darkness. And what it really boils down to is do you believe in God or don't you? Do you believe Jesus is who he said he's is? That's not to say there haven't been false religions created in His name that He warned us about. He also warned about the traditions and doctrines of men that make the word of God of no effect.

1:03:05 The "Ideal Orgs" current poshing up their dozens and dozens of "small and failing" orgs (Ideal Orgs are their "churches") I firsthand having seen the orgs statistics starting in 1977 when I was a Sea Org staff at Clearwater, up through 1989 when the management middle echelon had transfered to the Los Angeles Hollywood Guarantee Building middle management operation, I witnessed the "small and failing" org feeder system successful arrangement. It matters not how many people are aboard, but rather the amounts of money they donate to keep their multi echelon Hubbard system of organizations afloat. "Small and failing" has been there since 1977 when I was the part-time Org Flag Officer, where anyone at the Flag Management level does an hour a day duty paperwork attending to one or several "small and failing" Scientology organizations. In the 1977-1983 period I dutifully did my daily "OFO" (Org Flag Officer) duties, and I daily saw the plight of the then majority of the Scientology fake "churches" and they have since then ALWAYS been "small and failing" as dismal bad as they were then, and as dismal bad false reported for their supposed higher participation. The actual participation was equally dismal then, despite the ex members pronouncements. I recall even with Flag Service Org's massive over 100,000 central files files numbers (I was on a project with Ralph Hilton in Jan 1976 where Ralph and I split the review of ALL of Flag's Central Files Folders, we two looked into EVERY SINGLE one of Flag's client's "CF-Central Files" folders, and saw how much or how little was the participation of EVERY single one of the top clients of Scientology as of that date, January 1976), and the participation for even that gross high total of over 100,000 folders was actually dismally far far less. The numbers of Scientologists if honestly broken down by actual participation of what exact services, for which exact times in those client/participants' lives, would confirm what I've speculated, which is Hubbard perfected a "feeder system" but that the numbers of participants have ALWAYS been almost irrelevant. The proof of my speculation is borne out by Scientology still pulling in sufficient funding from its smaller number of dupes. Smaller numbers of dupes in their fold, but adequate money being grifted off those dupes. That's relevant to Scientology's continuing. Adequate numbers of dupes grifted, to keep the ludicrous Scientology operation of existing dupes happy and going. We need fresh defectors from the "upper middle management" and the "top management" ranks to alert us Scientology observers to any real dent in this financial model that appears to work viably keeping the top levels of Scientology (while slightly lower in staff numbers) still adequately functioning. By the poshness of their buildings, while smaller in members overall, the fact that they have a stable pool of longer range wealthier (and or wealthy enough) dupes aboard their hierarchy of these "small and failing" but posher "Ideal Orgs" (fake churches), their buildings show they have money to keep up their show, allowing some new suckers born every day to still find this hopeful fake church (which enough dupes don't learn quickly enough or they care NOT to learn that they will NOT become the super soul flying superpeople that Scientology/Hubbard falsely but hopefully claims they will become).

1:20:58 is the last question, and John Sweeney's answer is so important and informative. A copper Sweeney knew, 1:21:30 Sweeney says the copper said that the really good com men believe in the con. The ex member's stories of Hubbard's whole end of life final months provide ample convincing evidence of Hubbard's belief in his own Hubbard Scientology counseling/exorcism practices. The "Going Clear..." HBO documentary has Sarge Steven Pfauth telling of Hubbard's final thoughts, and that confirms Sweeney's insights.

It seems historically that most religious traditions emerge from the spiritual experiences of their founders (whether viewed as 'real' or 'psychogenic') they then all too frequently become socially manipulative tools of unprincipled powerphyliacs who utilise them for personal gain. Scientology skipped the first step in this process becoming at it's outset a power/money accruing machine, as was Hubbard's stated intent during a lunch conversation with and subsequently reported by his interlocutor, Robert Heinlein . Hubbard and Heinlein had on numerous occasions discussed the ease with which peoples' beliefs can be manipulated, Hielein favoring the idea that educated people are not as manipulable as Hubbard insisted. A wager was proposed, if Hubbard could entice people into believing in a new and bogus religion , Heinlein would concede the point. Scientology was born. The rest is history.

11:21 - I appreciate what Ortega has done regarding Scientology , but he needs to tone down the hyperbole. To equate these Sea Org people & their work for 20 cents an hour to slavery is RIDICULOUS.. Slaves don't get paid, whether its 20 cents or 20 dollars an hour. They are owned by another human being.

You make a great point and people need to get a grip. Moreover, by pointing this out does not mean one condones Scientology or how it treats people. I bristle when people call Miscavige "Stalin", or the Hemit base as a "slave camp". It is as if we have lost all sense of historical perspective and proportion and let outrage justify any use of language. The irony is that these same people who use hyperbole then criticize Scientologists when they use similar hyperbole to describe their condition, how they are treated, or their critics: genocide, bigots, etc,
