From WWP: https://whyweprotest.net/community/...beef-productions-uk-channel-4-17-june.111534/

To be shown on Channel 4 (UK), 9pm 17 June 2013.

Likely to be available on 4oD (web streaming) shortly afterwards.

Scientologists at War examines the independent Scientology movement and the high level defectors who have publicly renounced their membership from the Church of Scientology.

Marty Rathbun is one of the most senior defectors in Scientology's history. As the former Inspector General of Ethics in the organisation that was created by science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard, Rathbun worked closely with its leader, David Miscavige, and celebrity follower Tom Cruise.

The film provides a rare insider view of the Church of Scientology.

I'm hoping someone will video this, as many like myself are from the USA and won't have access to the show.

I gather this is not up-to-date on the current conflicts within the indies... since Marty lost some supporters. But it should be good, never the less.

Pretty sure they did there research before this schism. And this schism is
unimportant.

One of the things they filmed was a press conference with a panel of 7
people answering audience questions. The panel had indies FZers and critics,
all with similar views of CO$ and who all got on very well together. This was
in East Grinstead.

I feel aghast that you are even considering airing a programme titled, ?Scientologists at War?. For instance which Scientologists did you find who were at war. Marty Rathbun is certainly no Scientologist and the fact that you even state that he defected shows that all you are trying to create is the impression that we are warring with each other. This could not be further from the truth. I suggest that you not air the programme and find something else to occupy your time.
Frank on 12 June 2013 at 16:30
There are millions of Scientologists throughout the world applying Scientology in their daily lives who are more than willing to express to anybody how it has improved their lives, so why is it that Channel 4 (and other media) are usually - if not consistently - presenting Scientology solely through the eyes of a few dissidents (usually 3 or 4 max) who per definition are against it? Are you taking advice from unsatisfied car owners at all when looking to buy a new car? There is a "problem" with Scientology in that it claims to put people in a position where they can solve their own problems in their own lives, which also means they're becoming more independent and thus less tractable. But then not everyone thinks that's a great idea... Could that be the real "problem" behind all these senseless attacks? I think the time has come to have a truly informative - not derogatory - program about Scientology, that would allow people to make up their own mind for themselves.

I am not happy that programme is being aired, Firstly it's title implies that this programme will be a one side account which will produce negatives about my religion without presenting the factual data. Your ex-Scientologist speak as just that apostates are known to always be in disagreement with the groups they leave so any news from then can be predicted.Scientology has helped me for over 30 years now. I have a very fulfilling life because of it and enables me to help others effectively using it's principles. If you want to truth just visit a church or visit the website. sci link removed There you will see the work done world wide to provide unconditional help."

I assume he means at the channel4 site, which is moderating the comments.

They didnt post it. I read the terms after and apparently you arent supposed to mention court cases. I mentioned a few that the scn shills may not know about. I enlightened them on the churches benevolent activities in the field of drug rehab as well. I will try again.

"Do the pro scientology commenters here believe the Xenu metaphor? I for one was involved with the church for over a decade. I have seen criminal activities and abuse first hand. Scientology is not only at war with Independents, but also with prosecutors, investigators and media. The activities of this so called church have been exposed for what they are time and time again: A money making scheme that doesnt produce what it promises. For the record I am not "anonymous." I am willing to talk to any current member to enlighten them on the true activities of the church. Eric [email protected] Feel free to contact me. "
