Oz ABC Four Corners on Scientology March 8

[Sir Facer]

WOW!

Just heard it anounced at the end of tonights show.
(1 hour length)
"Former members".

Just finished watching the full show!!!!!! & big well done to James, Liz, Jordon & the others for this grand exposure How the Church honestly thinks they can get away with these crimes & have that daft Tommy Davis sit there in continual denial is just hystreical
This has got to be one of the best exposures in OZ, a very well done to all involved.

Defiately Tommy's worse performance to date. Woeful!

When will Slappy come out of the woodwork & defend his Conpany like a true CEO and explain the declining profits of his organization?

Well Scoots, yours did, and mine didn't......buggar! I was very polite and didn't say anything damning at ALL, I thought.

Crikey, looks like I need ta polish up my PR skills.

Anyways Scoots, good on you for getting your though.

Mine got edited by the mods - "cult" was removed and [church] put in instead - cracked me up.

Off to bed now a happy Scooter.

Just discovered full doco is on left link on this page - all 40-odd mins of it!

Man ABC is FAST!

 

[Kookaburra]

OK, just for Kiwis......

There were clips of celebs at the beginning, and Travolta in Haiti. They interviewed Joe Pieche (sp) , football player, who joined SO, got declared and lost his kids. Then Liz and James Anderson, who lost their daughter Fiona, but managed to get Jordan back. Both those girls went into SO age 14. Then to Laura deCresenzo who joined SO age 16 and was later co-erced into an abortion, and Claire Headley forced to have 2 abortions, to Tommy Davis adamently denying that the church would ever do that. Hana Eltringham gave her account of RPF, so did Laura, then Tommy had his turn at glorifying the RPF as a voluntary religious retreat, to Hana asking what drugs Tommy is on. Tommy got to refute every allegation made in the show. Sometimes he just outright lied...blatently.

Overall, a very good expose. Every allegation was backed up by other people who had experienced exactly the same thing, right down to scrubbing dumpsters as punishment. I am so glad he is tackling the forced abortion issue.

Edit: Man, you guys and the ABC are fast. Two pages of posts and videos up while I type 2 paragraphs!

What an excellent program!
James, Liz and Jordan and Peta were terrific - tears for Liz and a laugh for James for using the F word and therefore a warning of 'coarse language" for the program. Very well edited, woohoo.

An excellent presentation and what a remarkable person Liz Anderson was in her interviews. Her sincerity was in stark contrast to Tommy Davis' evasion and patently obvious lying. His TRs were appalling and he obviously hasn't passed his TR - Lie. Joe Reiache also was very effective and his comments about his children, was deeply moving. Then there was Hanna Eltringham, she was a gem, hey ... what about her astonished look when told that the RPF was a retreat. And Marc and Claire ... in fact, they were all brilliant and the production superb.

I liked it.

Regards, David.

Best anti doco I have ever seen. Davis was inept and looked like a smarmy smart arse with no credibility. Very emotionally impactful. Andersons were extremely real and convincing. Headleys were great also.
Great timing before the senate debate.

 

[Miss Pert]

To everyone involved, THAT WAS ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY GREAT!!!!

Hey cofs & osa

Yippe Kai Yay Motherf###ers

And Jenni with an Eye, I'm just gunna have to break out your own little smilie friend for that

 

[Carmel]

To the Four Corners guys, Janine, Quentin and Caro......I know it's your job, but well bloody done on doing it so well.

And to each and everyone who appeared in the show......awesome stuff! Much love, thanks, and appreciation to ya!

This doco was impinging.....It had me bawling, and I supposedly know this shit already. Tommy just confirmed the PR front and BS answers they have for everything (anyone would think he was on our side).

I loved it, it gave the true picture, and it's that picture which will have the CofS exposed for what it is, made accountable, and prevented from harming in the future.

Good on you all!

 

[supafreak]

Excellent doco! Thank you to everyone who spoke out.

 

[jenni with an eye]

I just wanted to thank every one that was involved in
that brilliant story on Four Corners.

To the crew at the ABC, thank you for putting together
a great story showing the cofs as it really is.

To Joe, Liz, James, Jordi & everyone, you guys have done a wonderful thing here & I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

To Tommy Davis, when you stutter like that it shows clearly you are trying to think of a good lie to say.
Why don't you just tell the truth for a change...it won't hurt a bit.

 

[Purple Rain]

Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy!

Wheeeeeeeee!! What an amazing show!!



Tommy Davis needs to have acting lessons.

*guffaw*

I don't know how Labor can NOT support the inquiry now without looking like they're serving the interests of rich, tyrannical multinational corporations who oppress and abuse workers, which is of course what they're doing in allowing these conditions to persist unchallenged.

Wonderful, just wonderful! You're all blimming legends!!

What a wonderful piece of journalism. Thanks to ABC and thanks to every single one who contributed to this.





I'll make sure that everyone in my addressbook gets a link to the four corners site.

 

[degraded being]

The docos are getting better and better, really showing the everyday abuse in the cult of scientology.
