As a follow up to
b3ta.com/links/Why_John_Sweeney_lost_it
the scientologists now have an entire website dedicated to the whole thing...

this is going to get pretty exciting I recon
I don't know if Sweeney's just going to sit there and take it :) and even if he does others won't.
edit: must be said that this is scarily convincing if you haven't been paying attention to the entire thing!

wow.
there are also a LOT of staged publicity shots in that film of the Scientologist's facilities.
And it seems to me that while most journos are full of shit, the COS are DETERMINED to discredit the living bell-end out of Sweeney!

Why post this?
Why not deny them the oxygen of publicity?

Because they are a dangerous cult
manipulating people, for their wealth not least
'for esoteric secrets,' which are without doubt utter bollocks, if what their founder is to be going on, Hubbard being a twat.
Their 'Publicity machine' is actually a well financed machine and almost good, if you haven't noticed, hence why we mock them for the twats they actually are

I'd just like to say
that while Scientologists are clearly raving loons, and occassionally sinister, it was a pretty crap piece of reporting.

Yes, Yes, YES!!!"!¬==*eurnffft*
Personally I reckon the BBC made a pisspoor effort of landing a solid one on the barndoor of Scientology.
With the resources at their disposal the quality of Panorama "expose" was sub-cuntish.
Missed opportunity and reporter needs a good lie down (and a sacking).

The Scientologists are digging themselves in a deeper mess with this
The way it's edited together is so dodgy.
Are Robin Aitken and Ted Hynds speaking in the context of Sweeney Vs Scientology? Or is it reused footage?
And why no footage of Tom Davis, the creepy guy with the sunglasses who made Sweeney shout like this?
See my all encompassing tagline for my opinion on Scientology
This whole story is hugely entertaining
