Scientology's End - less wishful thinking please

[Axiom142]

Good stuff!

In the link you provided there was this snippet:

"When newspapers asked the Church what was going on,
they denied any affiliation with the squirrel busters."


​

And also Tony Ortega once reported on his Blog the following:

"Church of Scientology International lawyer Les Strieber said in court
that the Squirrel Busters were not “sent” by the church.
He said they were merely church members exercising their religious rights."​

A cult shyster lied in court?! What is the world coming to?

Actually this is just another example of the intrinsic dishonesty of The Cult. They hire a lawyer and instruct him what to say. He repeats it in court, probably in good faith (although that doesn’t excuse him acting for them and taking what they say at face value given their history of blatant lying). The Cult gets to hide behind his words for a while and when it all blows up and is proven to be a lie, blame the lawyer for making a mistake and saying the wrong thing.

I seem to recall a similar situation when Hubbard’s ‘Admissions’ were presented to a court in the Gerry Armstrong case. The cult claimed that this document must not be presented as it is one of Hubbard’s works and protected by copyright. Then later, when they realise that they can’t stop it being widely disseminated and exposing Hubbard as the lying, adulterous whackadoodle that he was, they claim that the lawyer made a mistake and it was never written by Hubbard at all!

I couldn’t find a direct quote by Pouw or anyone else from The Cult, but I did find this:

Relevant part:

“The Church of Scientology denies a connection to the Squirrel Busters.”

I kinda disagree with this also.

Mosey's case, should it play out to a victory for her, will set a new precedent.

It will rub dog's doodoo in DM's face and will show the church's legal machine can work against them not that it hasn't before, but read what follows...

More importantly, it will attack and throw the church's primary weapon (fair gaming) into a legal quagmire for them. They will never be able to use it again with total impunity and covering their tracks.

Laura's case wont be minor in its repercussions either.

nahhh...

in fact, in that it's mosey the non-scio and not marty this case is lending credence to the CoS position of it being a religious dispute

as to "fair-gaming"...

if you know what your fukkin' doin' man you can fair game a poor barstid right into hell without violating a single written statute...

but stayed tuned to laura's case. it fits in with what i'm doing with my pro-life initiative which has the potential to make laura decrescenza a household name here in jefferson's agrarian republic
