If you think that Scientology should no longer get tax exempt status please sign here. Only a few more votes needed and the IRS will be compelled by law to review their tax status.

None of them should get a tax break.

There was a superb documentary on David Icke a few years back. He actually speaks very well! But what made the documentary was the fact that some Jewish radicals had decided the fact that Icke was claiming the world was ruled by blood drinking lizards made him anti-semetic. So they followed him everywhere to protest, and you found yourself nodding sagely in agreement when Icke looked plaintively to camera and protested that how could they think that, they were just blood drinking lizards!
(I'll add the caveat that it was a while back now, so there might have been other things that made him anti-semetic, just in case I've forgotten them!!)

Going to watch the programme tonight. The review in the paper said Louis gets "shadowed " by members of the cult. Should be interesting.

They follow you, stare at you, get in your face, film you and intimidate you.

What a sinister cult Scientology is without doubt. I thought Tom Cruise was a clever bloke,but he's silly and naive to get hoodwinked into it all.

Yeah, agree. Not up to his usual standards and I think the casting scene was a bit naff.Turned the documentary off on about 25 minutes, wasnt the best he has done

I'm just found it all too theatrical. Prefer Leah Remini's series on Scientology (2nd season on right now), which is pretty much just interviewing ex members talking about what they went through, how it affected and split up their families and the suppressive and controlling nature of the religion.

Me too Nick. I usually like his stuff, but this was just boring. Shame really. There could have been a terrific documentary here.Turned the documentary off on about 25 minutes, wasnt the best he has done

Yep, found that all a bit showmanshipy and superfluous.
Shame, cos Scientology is a great target for a Louis Theroux type documentary.

Sky plussed it and watched it today. I think he was trying to tap into the bloke he was interviewing by doing the acting scenes. Its one really weird and aggressive cult. I like most stuff that he's done and actually enjoyed it. He knew full well that he'd never get inside the cult so went at it from different angles to try and get an insight.
