WHY I'M PICKETING ScientOLOGY

SCIENTOLOGY PRACTICES MEDICINE ILLEGALLY

  • Scientology's Purification Rundown involves excessive time in a sauna and megadoses of vitamins that can be dangerous , especially for diabetics.
  • Dianetics claims that a number of illnesses can be cured with Scientology auditing, and NOTS 34 is a Scientology document that explicitly describes how to cure a variety of illnesses 1 . (You can probably find a copy on the Internet. Or ask Scientologist s to show it to you - but they probably won't.)

SCIENTOLOGY DEFRAUDS THE PUBLIC

  • Scientology refuses public access to information about their basic beliefs (especially Xenu and body thetans - the dead space aliens that Scientologist s believe infest our bodies).
  • Scientology refuses public access to their price list. It costs over $360,000 to complete the various levels of Scientology.

SCIENTOLOGY HARASSES CRITICS IN COURT

SCIENTOLOGY IS ANTI-FEMINIST

  • Scientology's founder and leader, L. Ron Hubbard, wrote that it's "nonsense" for women to compete with men - the "current world" is "in custody" of men, and women are in charge of children. He also claimed that attempted abortion is "very common" and that the primary cause of insanity and crime is failed attempted abortions. 3

SCIENTOLOGY IS ANTI-GAY

  • Scientology says homosexuals are perverts and that perversion should not be tolerated. 4

SCIENTOLOGY IS ANTI-CHRISTIAN

  • Scientology's founder and leader, L. Ron Hubbard, said " There was no Christ ." 5 Scientology says that the crucifixion was a false memory implanted into us by space aliens.
