its worth watching the program before you criticize too much. John Sweeney was trying to do an objective piece of journalism, but the scientologists were extremely evasive and many refused to be interviewed or withdrew permission afterwards (presumably on request of the church). That Tom guy frequently interrupted Sweeney, refused to follow logic, belittled him, and stalked him. Sweeney was followed round by several different people both on foot and in cars.
Seems its their policy to dig up the dirt on people who criticize them or even ask questions they don't like the sound of. As part of their 'fair game' policy they slander and intimidate anybody who doesnt support them.

in the various clips it all looked a mess... stressful viewing.
I've read Sweeney's piece since, and someone even turned up at his wedding.
"Is it any more retarded than Jesus dieing for our sins, or buddha sitting under a tree?"
"Yes. It's way more retarded."
