Media Watch

There is enough callous, hateful communication spread by unintelligent people on subjects of which they know nothing, for you to add more to that pile. READ MORE

This is the first time in our history we have not heard from Disney’s leader at a time like this. Enough is enough. We are family. READ MORE

As community partners, many of our discussions and action items revolved around preventing violent extremism. In most cases, if not all, media played a big role in dehumanizing the other. READ MORE

The idea that Disney would sponsor programs that incite hatred against religions from my perspective is unconscionable. READ MORE

Unless we defend the religious liberty of everyone, it will not long exist for anyone. READ MORE

On the road that leads to peace among the people of this world, Leah Remini is the swerving drunk driver, A&E is the car, Disney handed her the keys and the booze, and you are the traffic cop standing and quietly watching. READ MORE

There is enough racism, fascism, and anti-religious sentiment already going on in the world. It is all harmful to good people and not in the least productive in making a world that the rest of us want to live in. READ MORE

Your company’s reputation has become tarnished since I found out that you advertise on the Leah Remini show which has the sole purpose of spreading hatred and bigotry against the Church of Scientology, which has been my... READ MORE

We live at a time when it is fashionable to attack the religious freedom of others. A&E and Remini are now at the forefront of religious discrimination, bigotry and hatred. READ MORE

The hatred and intolerance being spread by the A&E/Leah Remini show currently airing takes bigotry to a whole new and dangerous level. READ MORE

What you ignore are the number of Scientologists who practice their religion daily, carrying out good works in their respective communities, raising productive families and donating their talents and skills in a selfless and... READ MORE

Have you not seen the violence leveled against synagogues, mosques, temples and churches in recent months and years? Have you not read the media reports about the children, adults and elderly who have been callously murdered... READ MORE

By condoning the airing of this series, Disney makes itself a party to the violence resulting. I understand that the Church of Scientology has had hundreds of threats of death, violence or vandalism incited by the show. Including... READ MORE

Leah Remini is a bigot. She is hateful, vicious and hurtful. Her claim to fame is her assault upon her former friends and faith. According to countless testimonies of those who knew her well, she was only proficient at maligning... READ MORE

I sincerely recommend that you adopt a policy of research first, write second. There are frequently at least two sides to a story. It would behoove you to get the other side(s)—or you’ll have to get very familiar with... READ MORE

How would you feel, Ms. Newton, if Disney decided to fund and air a program which depicted the majority of Black youth as under-educated criminals…or the majority of young black women as unwed mothers? Wouldn’t you be... READ MORE

Given the history of the Disney Company, it’s my guess that the prejudice against my church stems more from being misinformed than from actual malice. READ MORE

Since all organizations who’ve engaged in discrimination and bigotry have eventually ended up having to apologize later, and had to make up for the damage they did, how far does Disney dare push the inevitable liability... READ MORE

The point of this letter is to bring to your attention the following: The Walt Disney Company is currently producing a show that is based solely on an attack of my religion. READ MORE

Our ministers and parishioners have provided relief in disasters around the world, helping victims of floods, riots, bombings, tornadoes, tsunamis, brush fires, and countless other natural and man-made disasters. READ MORE

I see that the Daily Mail continues to pander to religious hate-monger Leah Remini and once again publishes her bigoted hogwash—this time a fake story that someone talking to Leah Remini could in some way imperil that person’s... READ MORE

Certain members of the media remain behind the times, unable to absorb factual information. Maybe one day that will all change, but the message you transmit is that you do not know your facts and repeat others’ bigotry. READ MORE

I don’t know the motives behind Rinder’s use of the phrase in insulting me since I have never even met this man and he knows nothing about me. But I do think I speak for Asian-Americans in that we find it insulting when... READ MORE

Auditing is a sacred religious practice of Scientology. The goal of auditing is to restore beingness and ability. This is accomplished by: (1) helping individuals rid themselves of any spiritual disabilities; (2) increasing... READ MORE

Lila Mirrashidi, Deputy Commissioner for Policy at the DBO, told The Daily Beast for their article published yesterday: “LeClair was not cleared of any criminal charges. The statute of limitations just ran out. Any claim... READ MORE

While much more has been said about the book’s biased and fallacious reporting, suffice it to say that Going Clear was never intended to be anything other than a hatchet job. Any “research” was conducted from the sole... READ MORE

It amazes me that you would provide a platform to someone who so narrowly escaped jail time for masterminding a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that cost so many seniors dearly. READ MORE

I can’t recall any company I’ve ever come across that wants the public to associate their product or image with religious bigotry and hate. I can’t actually think of one! READ MORE

Remini’s program spews hatred rather than providing honest information. It has resulted in actual threats of violence against my religion by people who said they were goaded into criminal action by her message. READ MORE

I sincerely consider that your inherent duty, as media, is to uphold religion, faith, belief, decency and mutual respect, not seek to strike it down, trample on it and grind it into the dust—especially using discredited... READ MORE

Articles like this which attempts to demean a religion for bringing levity and enjoyment to children and families do a disservice to your own journalistic traditions. They serve to belittle and demean you and the publication... READ MORE

Georgia-Pacific has updated their media buying guidelines to exclude programs that feature content of this nature. I would suggest that you adopt a similar policy. The year is 2018, not 1818, and people are not as uninformed... READ MORE

Megyn Kelly, in her NBC Today show, broadcast the statement of the Deputy Commissioner of Policy for the California Department of Business Oversight. It is completely damning of LeClair and her fabricated story. READ MORE

Would you say that Connor Cruise was “on lockdown” in a synagogue, Catholic church or mosque? I really doubt it. Then why do you feel you can get away with it here? READ MORE

I ask you NOT to advertise on this program so your company is not viewed as condoning religious hatred. READ MORE

I’m sure the producers and proponents of this show have done their best to marginalize and de-legitimize people like myself in an effort to convince you that what they are doing is okay. But it isn’t. READ MORE

Please draw the line on what your company is willing to fund in the way of programming. Don’t allow your advertising dollars to support shows that are driven by hate, resentment and bigotry. READ MORE

While I appreciate that Guinn and Wright are bedfellows, in a figurative sense, further hyping of a notorious propaganda piece by Guinn actually cloaks him in the same mantle of bigotry. READ MORE

Mike Rinder, who works for Disney under the umbrella of ABC and A&E, continues his steady stream of racist jokes maligning me by mocking my Asian surname on his personal website with a slur that is also homophobic. READ MORE

I understand that he is, in his own words, “obsessed with Scientology,” but his obsession would be better satisfied finding out what it is and not just casting needless and baseless aspersions. READ MORE

The attacks against Jews and Jewish institutions is unforgivable and I have vocally stood against them and shall continue to do so. I believe that we should treat each other with mutual respect. READ MORE

I could go on and on pointing out the lies spread by Remini and her pseudo-experts but even that is secondary to the idea of freedom. Freedom of choice, freedom of religion, freedom from harassment… take your pick. READ MORE

I would hope you’d consider keeping the company of cooler heads and not placing your product where no good outcome is possible. READ MORE

Are you aware that another A&E advertiser, Georgia-Pacific, recently chose to sever its association with the show “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath?” They stated they are adding that show to their “do not air”... READ MORE

According to the American Bar Association website: “Hate speech is speech that offends, threatens, or insults groups, based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other traits.” READ MORE

Her program spews hatred rather than providing honest information. It has resulted in threats of violence against my religion by people who said they were goaded into criminal action by her message. READ MORE

Had you exhibited a single iota of genuine interest in the subject, you would have noticed that, not one, but six CCHR documentaries air weekly on Scientology.tv. But again, why allow truth to get in the way of prejudiced... READ MORE

I see that news.com.au is the new mouthpiece for an American bigot-at-large. If you really think that Leah Remini, the ex-communicated, former Scientologist, has any credibility amongst the thinking public, you are sorely... READ MORE

Remini’s smear campaign makes mockery of one of the very principles upon which the United States of America was formed: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise... READ MORE

Erika just gave birth to her second child. This is a tremendously joyous occasion and certainly a viewing of her Instagram images shows how happy she and her husband are. That being the case, why would you make digs at her... READ MORE

Western culture is experiencing a golden age of tolerance, represented by the #MeToo movement, by increased respect for LGBTQs, African Americans, and others. Yet, in the face of this rising tide of pluralism, you are propping... READ MORE

In this time of intolerance, misunderstanding, hate and vengeful invective against people and religions, no one needs to add to it. Rather, we all need to find and explore points of agreement and so achieve greater understanding. READ MORE

Asian Americans for generations have had to deal with stereotypes, jokes and slurs from people like Rinder, who think they are clever and funny, but in fact just reveal their insensitivity, cluelessness and underlying racism. READ MORE

I know I will personally boycott any product whose sales will help support this attack on religion. And I am not alone in this thinking. READ MORE

Just because Remini and her ilk are off the deep end of history is no reason for you jump off the ledge with her. READ MORE

This is Remini’s “aftermath”—harm, destruction, prison sentences, broken families and bullied children. These are her gifts. READ MORE

It’s utterly amazing to me that in this day and age, I have to write a letter to an advertiser requesting that they withdraw their financial support from a television show that attacks my religion. Seriously, how does it... READ MORE

Scientologists and their allies have exposed the evils of psychiatry since 1969. We are proud of it. We continue to expose their crimes against humanity every day. Everybody knows we do this—including you—so pretending... READ MORE

You should respect religions—whether yours or not—and do what you can to uplift them with your keyboard. After all, religions endow the spiritual quality to life, and God knows we need it. READ MORE

While of course each writer is entitled to their own view as to movies, people, circumstances and so on, what most stood out in their article were the gratuitous attacks on a religion of which they know nothing other than... READ MORE

I urge you to take a very good look at this and withdraw your financial support from any activity that attacks a good group working hard for a better world. Please do what you can to stop funding this horrendous show. As Jews,... READ MORE

I understand you are a contributor to IPC, the Intellectual Property Corporation. You may not be aware that one of the TV programs that benefits from the IPC is a show dedicated to religious persecution. READ MORE

My experience in Scientology for almost 20 years has been extraordinarily positive. Scientologists as a group are some of the most friendly, outgoing, helpful and interested people you could ever meet. READ MORE

I will not always be around to stand guard over my kids and so endeavor to try and put a world there that they can be successful in. I try and remove some of the evil I find before it finds them. READ MORE

Watching the show for the first time, my reaction was utter disgust… like what I imagine a Jew might feel after stumbling upon an Internet hate group’s claims of Jews eating babies. Yes, I see the show as that absurd and... READ MORE

The money you made with your blood, sweat and tears—starting at the incredible age of 12—is, today, funding an injustice. Please give it another, very hard look. READ MORE

Your analysis of the E-Meter omitted the one key element for which it was developed. It is an electronic instrument that measures mental state and change of state in individuals and assists the precision and speed of auditing—a... READ MORE

The basic thrust of your article is to dissuade people from religion and religious groups based on the atheistic assertions of a two clinical psychologists—members of a group notorious for their lack of understanding in... READ MORE

My point here is that a show like this cannot survive without the dollars given to it for advertising. My appeal is to your higher self: please find something inspirational to support and you’ll contribute to uplifting the... READ MORE

How you managed it I do not know, but you threw in a non-sequitur slur against the Church of Scientology in a paragraph about a Turkish cleric. Amazing. READ MORE

Religion is a deeply personal thing. Don’t trash another’s, for it opens wide the doors for others to trash what you value. READ MORE

Realize that you have a responsibility to society. Casting disparagement and making derogatory comments about a religion of which you know nothing relegates your writing to religious discrimination. READ MORE

As an advertiser, you can make a difference. Please do not continue to support, sponsor or credit A&E's Remini program as anything more than what it is: hate speech. READ MORE

STAND—Scientologists Taking Actions Against Discrimination—has the duty of policing irresponsible media so that the good names of the Church of Scientology and its principals, as well as all religions, are not sullied... READ MORE

My hope is that you will step up and do the right thing and not be similarly out of touch and insensitive. Alert people who take meaningful action are the ones who make the world a better place. READ MORE

The American people are not stupid. Leah Remini’s stats are dismal for a reason. Every person who has talked to me about her show calls it stupid, self serving and frankly too ridiculous to be believed. READ MORE

Hi Rebecca, I read your article today about San Francisco’s sex cult. Your “tie-in” to the Church of Scientology is gross. Scientology is a religion. It has been recognized as a religion by countless courts in dozens... READ MORE

How did a respected, unbiased, work-related platform such as LinkedIn become a hate-inspiring, money-grubbing soap box? Is it aspiring to join the ranks of Twitter, Facebook and the like? READ MORE

While I appreciate that in this modern day and age where common and decent values appear almost lost, these may seem alien to you, but let me assure you, they are not to the majority of peoples of this world. READ MORE

Show your products, spend your dollars on shows which enhance the human experience through the building of character, not the destruction of it. READ MORE

What could be the motivation if not purely for profit? What’s the journalistic or societal benefit from this show that uses slanderous attacks based mainly on falsehoods and for the material gain of the network and a select... READ MORE

“Religious intolerance does not mean one cannot express his own beliefs. It does mean that seeking to undermine or attack the religious faith and beliefs of another has always been a short road to trouble.” These words... READ MORE

Remini is hell-bent on attacking Scientology, while Disney and its sponsors are enabling her to spread her delusional ideas, pure and simple. READ MORE

Before investing your advertising dollars promoting your product on Leah Remini’s hate TV show, do yourself a favor and spend a few minutes on Scientology.tv and watch an episode of Voices For Humanity or perhaps Meet a... READ MORE

Do we need to tell you stories of distraught children disparaged at school for being Scientologists, of poison pen letters circulating in our parishioners’ neighborhoods, of our members being harassed on the streets? READ MORE

If we cannot worship as we see fit—or not—then we are reduced to the level of animals forced into compliance with the non-option of having our spiritual beliefs chosen and prescribed for us by those who would deride and... READ MORE

I am writing to ask you to carefully reconsider your sponsorship of A&E’s Leah Remini show, Scientology and the Aftermath. As a Scientologist of more than forty years, I am deeply offended by it. READ MORE

The appalling PR that would go along with another hate-filled season is self-explanatory: it’s a total affront to the right to practice whichever religion one chooses (whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Scientologist, Mormon,... READ MORE

Is hatred and suspicion of our neighbors what we want to “welcome into the hearts and homes of millions of families around the world”? Really? READ MORE

This is ironic considering Disney, which owns 50 percent of A&E, immediately cancelled ABC’s Roseanne show due to her racist tweet, yet they turn a blind eye to A&E’s religious persecution of Scientologists. This is sanctimonious... READ MORE

A&E has announced that professional bigot Leah Remini will continue to host the TV program Aftermath, despite flying in the face of professionalism, good manners, good sense, and the current volatility of American discourse. READ MORE

I implore you to not support religious intolerance with your advertising dollars. Not only is the show dropping in viewership, but I imagine there are more fireworks ahead if Remini expands her horizons and attacks other religions... READ MORE

When I was growing up in the 1950s my family refused to buy anything that was German in origin or even remotely connected to Germany. My father and mother had family members killed in the holocaust, and rightly or wrongly... READ MORE

What will my sons tell my grandchildren about Disney and how they went from bringing song and joy to their childhood to bashing their religion in prime time? READ MORE

I want to express gratitude for the courage and moral sensitivity you displayed for supporting the cancellation of the Roseanne series following the hateful and bigoted tweet from Ms. Barr. READ MORE

Scientology is a recognized religion. Courts and governments of many countries recognize the religious nature of Scientology. READ MORE

The true story of Scientology is far more exciting and revealing. I enclose a link to the Church’s new television channel, broadcasting 24 hours a day, so you can get a head start finding out who we truly are and what we... READ MORE

I read with great dismay the arrogance with which Trevin Wax addressed my religion, Scientology, in his recent piece about C.S. Lewis’s wife Joy Davidman. I think that neither C.S. Lewis nor Ms. Davidman would agree with... READ MORE

Our world has enough hatred and venom. You don’t need to add to it. Why not share some love, some respect, some care for others? We all live on the same planet. READ MORE

I appreciate that the video game industry is no longer a venue where older actors “go to die” and that it has now become a much sought-after location to perform. However, to use it as a launch pad to attack a young and... READ MORE

The verdict issued by the jury stated that Ross had “acted recklessly in a way that is so outrageous in character and so extreme as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency and to be regarded as atrocious and utterly... READ MORE

Gibney’s piece was pure propaganda levied against a modern religion that has withstood all of the blasphemy thrown at it in its 64 years of existence. READ MORE

In the future please find out what you are writing about before you publish it. By doing this you will avoid foisting off on your readership your own prejudices. READ MORE

Please do not invent fake news where there is nothing but simplicity: some people want to help others and expect nothing in return. Stay tuned. READ MORE

People can watch Scientology television and make up their own minds now. Oh, and by the way, people are now pouring in to find out what Scientology is all really about. READ MORE

You call yourself journalists but you are little more than hatemongers. Your review is a perfect example of why Scientology.tv exists. READ MORE

When was the last time your reporter Lloyd Grove helped victims of natural disasters, helped save a marriage or gave someone the confidence to go in the direction of their dreams and live the life they imagine? I sincerely... READ MORE

Snarky had its day and its day is over. The vast majority of people want truth, compassion, inclusion, and tolerance which is what we, as a church, stand for. READ MORE

I would have expected it to be a trash gossip magazine, not the Christian Post. And to try to “hide” behind the trickery of reporting only what other media wrote doesn’t absolve you from your bigotry. READ MORE

I am constantly surprised that the media is only used these days not to report news but to spread false information about things such as my religion. Largely propaganda meant to sway opinion. READ MORE

Seriously? Did your critic see the same network launch that I did? On the Scientology TV channel premiere I saw a new religion finding its own voice on the world stage. READ MORE

One would think the trade publication of that industry would take a professional point of view, not a salacious one better suited for tabloid magazines. READ MORE

You should understand that the world needs to be made a brighter place and that is achieved by communication of truth. And that is what Scientology is. READ MORE

This reporting is appalling and shame on him for taking such cheap shots in the Hollywood Reporter. READ MORE

I tried in vain to find any intelligence, humor or grace in Scheck’s article. Indeed, it’s really clear that Scheck began watching the programming with a specific agenda in mind—he knew he had to pan the show. READ MORE

Scheck’s hostile and derogatory “reporting” of what was broadcast during the launch is so far off the mark, it bears no resemblance to what was actually shown. READ MORE

You should know there is nothing you can do to impede our progress, because now, with our TV network, we tell our own story without perversion of the truth. READ MORE

Frank Scheck and THR have nothing to offer. Scientology does. READ MORE

You do a great disservice to all those who do their best to carry forward acts of help and decency throughout the world. READ MORE

Most of Scheck’s barbs have little to do with the content of the shows which would tend to make one think he had no interest in the actual news of the Church’s new TV station. READ MORE

This is neither the time nor the place to add scorn to a public already saturated with media-fed bitterness. READ MORE

You would find that Scientology has been officially recognized through numerous legal decisions and government decrees in dozens of countries. READ MORE

“I mean I’m just a crappy, has-been actress who’s trying to make a dollar off my church… .” Leah Remini READ MORE

I respectfully request that you inform the vendor that supplies magazines to Pavilions that if there are cover stories that discriminate or pour bigotry against ANY religious group or any group at all, that those magazines... READ MORE

The original purpose of Patheos.com, as I understand it, was to present information from authoritative sources and thus to help people learn about the world’s different faiths. Since falsehoods and bigotry in no way lead... READ MORE

I did not think the day would come when I’d see someone criticize a Church for bringing cheer to children during Christmas. READ MORE

That you connect Scientology with his name to impugn his conduct adds religious bigotry that is misplaced and offensive. READ MORE

I came across a Daily Mail article of 18 January, the same date as yours, which announced the storming of your sister organization, Newsweek, by two dozen NYPD and investigators from the Manhattan district attorney’s office. READ MORE

Admission to Winter Wonderland was free of charge, but in the spirit of Christmas, visitors were invited to donate to local charities in support of the homeless. That’s what you maligned. READ MORE

You attack a religion over totally unsubstantiated claims, using allegations taken from an active proponent of backpage.com. Whatever happened to journalistic integrity? READ MORE

Your article contains aspersions and bigotry toward bona fide, recognized and accepted religions—such as the Church of Latter-day Saints, the Church of Scientology, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Christian Science. READ MORE

With respect, I recommend that you stick with politics when you write. Inserting your 2-cent depreciation of the Scientology religion in today’s sacbee.com article is unwanted and unwelcome. READ MORE

Your mean-spirited article only served to reflect your attitude toward a very talented actress who made a strong and poignant statement in support of women in her acceptance speech. READ MORE

Under these circumstances (not to mention the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the U.S. Constitution Bill of Rights, both of which espouse freedom of religion) the employment of Paul Buccieri, Nancy Dubuc and Rob... READ MORE

Standing up for women’s rights does not warrant libel in the other direction. I am also assuming that the negative press that has been tied to Scientology stems from recent TV shows and “documentaries” that are nothing... READ MORE

Time will reveal the truth about Ms. Remini, who is known everywhere for doing this show strictly for money and personal publicity. It really is rather pathetic that Disney would support such a low, degraded show on their... READ MORE

May I recommend that you immediately terminate the employment of Nancy Dubuc and Paul Buccieri for encouraging this hateful display to continue. READ MORE

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. It helps people gain greater insight into themselves and others. READ MORE

Leah Remini’s program needs to end. All should be given the chance to find out about Scientology for themselves. They are owed and deserve that. READ MORE

If you care at all about the numerous members of my religion that this hurts, do not continue this brutal, mean-spirited, lie-filled series. A public apology would restore my faith in the Disney name, but nothing less would. READ MORE

That Disney and A&E would leverage the bottom feeding gossip columns to sell such bigoted vitriol against my religion of 45 years is despicable. READ MORE

The hateful and false claims from the Leah Remini Aftermath show do in fact create damage. Those false claims incite hate, bigotry and violence, not in theory but in the reality of hard cold facts. READ MORE

Seriously, let’s get some art and entertainment back into your affiliate A&E. I will continue to contact your sponsors and advertisers religiously (pardon the pun) to inform them of my displeasure regarding their support... READ MORE

Anything that would distance Disney and A&E from the sour taste this show has put in all of our mouths, I would support. Please get back to shows that serve the public and enhance your own reputation. READ MORE

But then as I fast-forward to the present and “The Aftermath” I can’t imagine any family gathering around the TV to be entertained by it. From what I have heard, the show has pulled more than a few family and friend... READ MORE

I am writing to make sure you are aware of the low quality, misinformed mess that is Remini’s show. As a Scientologist, I also stand against any religious discrimination. And therefore, I urge you to do the right thing and... READ MORE

Once upon a time it was OK to persecute Christians, Jews, Mormons, Blacks, Muslims, Women. Even though it still happens, we consider it pure hate speech. Are you so sure that Scientologists will always be OK to persecute?... READ MORE

This egregious and false “documentary" not only fans the flames of religious discrimination, but has inspired actual acts of violence against parishioners. This is clearly not at all in alignment with the spirit of the Disney... READ MORE

I would suggest a check of recent and past news stories which are a parable about people and organizations whose past conduct has come back to haunt them in later years … Short-term ratings can never compensate for long-term... READ MORE

The irony I found in reading your passionate, well-written article is that the frustration and sense of fundamental unfairness you feel at having your religion attacked by the mainstream media is exactly what it feels like... READ MORE

Disney needs to recognize that the bigotry of this program adds about as much to the public understanding of Scientology, and religion in general, as a Ku Klux Klan rally adds to racial harmony. READ MORE

This is the United States of America. This country was founded on the idea that everyone should be able to worship as they choose. This show is an attempt to turn back time and create a country where only the “sanctified”... READ MORE

Please, take advantage of the resources we provide you at standleague.org and scientologynews.org. I would like to see you use them if you choose to write or learn about Scientology in the future. READ MORE

I would expect, as well, that Disney and A&E apologize for allowing Remini and Rinder et al. to shovel this bevy of lies on the American public. If you did this to Christians or Jews you can bet you would get worse letters... READ MORE

I am a Scientologist and a proud one at that. I’m also Jewish and as a Jewish person I never had to worry about being attacked for my religious orientation in America and surely would never imagine it being condoned by one... READ MORE

Your rendition of Scientology is so far removed from anything connected with the subject that you make yourself an object of ridicule by writing it. This is unfortunate, because it is so unnecessary. READ MORE

George Orwell, on the other hand, wrote to a friend in 1938: “…always thought there might be a lot of cash in starting a new religion.” His letter was later published as part of a collection of letters that was circulated... READ MORE

It has long been policy within the Church of Scientology that, “Persons suspected of purely medical illness should be referred to a doctor for competent treatment if such a doctor or treatment exists.” READ MORE

You make derogatory inference about the Sea Organization of the Church of Scientology in your article of earlier today without, obviously, knowing anything about it. READ MORE

The irony of your “article” is that Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination was born out of the desire from Scientologists themselves to stand up to the bigotry and say: “I have a face, I have a name, I am... READ MORE

We are not fake. I’m a living, breathing, Southern California blogger, as are my co-religionists. We’ve been here, all along, quietly making the world a better place and contributing to YOUR welfare. Not surprisingly,... READ MORE

There’s nothing fake about my blogs on STANDLEAGUE.org and nothing fake about my identity as a Scientologist of almost 30 years. I’ll show my face, my birth certificate, my membership card with the International Association... READ MORE

I write a blog for the Scientology STAND website and was sorry to learn this morning, via Yahoo Entertainment News, that I don’t exist. For the longest time, I thought I did. READ MORE

You don’t know what a shock it was for me to find out today that I’m not real! I just checked myself yesterday and I seemed real enough. But if Yahoo, and Leah Remini say so then it must be true! READ MORE

This hate campaign by a former member of Scientology has really gotten out of hand. For you to be forwarding it pretty much discredits your site and inclines me to get any and all of my data from Bing. I have pretty much started... READ MORE

My name is Jim Meskimen. I am not a robot, I am a flesh and blood person, and a blogger for STAND. As I am not merely an avatar or a fake account, I am capable of thinking and feeling, and expressing my own views. READ MORE

A few STAND members have asked, for their own protection, to be provided with an avatar. This was granted solely because Leah Remini and Mike Rinder are responsible for instigating over 500 documented threats of violence,... READ MORE

The Huffington Post owes me and every other Scientologist an apology for deciding to climb onto the hate-Scientology bandwagon without thoroughly checking out their contributing writer and his sources. READ MORE

When alarming accusations start to fly in the media, as they do more and more these days, do the right thing and scrutinize the accuser, not only the accused. If we do that the truth becomes blindingly clear; his accusers... READ MORE

Today’s world of media-incited religious hatred is wrong. The only product of your article is to spread bigotry against Scientology. And if the press popularizes bigotry against one religion, whose faith is next? READ MORE

By Ali’s own admission, he has spent “17 years obsessed” with the subject and judging by his record he is incapable of objectivity. READ MORE

Tony Ortega is the caliber of researcher best employed by the likes of Ali—someone so utterly devoid of ethics that any claim, false or embellished, will do for his attack-dog writing. READ MORE

If you advertise on such programs it broadcasts that you are in pro-religious discrimination, pro-bigotry and pro-violence against parishioners of a religion. READ MORE

I am appalled that T-Mobile would promote their product on a show such as the Aftermath show on A&E. How you would support a person and program that does nothing but advance bigotry and hatred in a country already divided... READ MORE

Scientology has been found by courts over and over again as a bonafide religion just like Judaism and Christianity. Yet I would sincerely doubt you would sponsor a show that spread hate and bigotry about these religions in... READ MORE

I believe a large advertiser has the responsibility to act in an ethical manner and not support such religious bigotry which often leads to violence. What can possibly be the gain for you to do this? READ MORE

Remini is just another intolerant hater adding to the escalating bigotry. She and her show should not be supported by anyone who cares about the truth and trying to bring people and groups together in tolerance and friendship. READ MORE

I read your very un-Christian recent article on the Church of Scientology. The unjustified and unholy way in which you regurgitate titillating tabloid trash is far more reflective of misinformed journalism than anything to... READ MORE

Time has come for you to choose between good and evil. Because make no mistake, evil and destruction is what Remini stands for while accusing others of it. Interestingly enough, that is exactly how the Nazis spread their agenda... READ MORE

I’m a Scientologist and have been for 43 years. My father was a Scientologist (until he passed away) and he introduced me to it. My children are Scientologists—by their choice—and so are my grandchildren. In all the... READ MORE

Along with millions of other Americans, I am tired of seeing bigotry, hatred and violence promoted in the media and this show does just that. READ MORE

Supporting Leah Remini’s hatred toward our religion opens the door and contributes to other hate-spewing people like her attacking other beneficial and helpful groups and religions. READ MORE

I am the director of a Church of Scientology and have seen firsthand the hate this show produces. My own church has been vandalized on more than one occasion and verbal assaults occur at least twice a week. This is absolutely... READ MORE

Mother Theresa once said that if each of us did ONE right thing the world would change. So do the right thing. Stop sponsoring the Leah Remini and A&E bigotry. It is the ONE RIGHT thing to do. Let people see that you stand... READ MORE

This fake reality TV series that incites religious bigotry, and has resulted in harmful consequences, needs to be removed from any sponsor’s list of programs to advertise on. READ MORE

There is a lot of competition in today’s entertainment world, but we have a bigger world to think of. Hostilities can get attention like any schoolyard fight does, but it’s very temporary. Compare those to acts of kindness... READ MORE

Enough on today’s attacks and negativity. There are many different viewpoints in this world and we can all get along with those differences. But to support continual ATTACKS against people of faith resulting in threats and... READ MORE

The scary version of Scientology painted by A&E and their associates has never been familiar to me. And I have been a Scientologist active in many parts of the Church for 44 years. READ MORE

Rather than waste time trying to explain to a propagandist why she and her rehearsed and paid “guests” are so non-credible, I thought I should give you the viewing public’s opinion of her series. Last night’s was the... READ MORE

My grandfather, Harry Warner, President of Warner Bros. Studio for over 50 years considered the medium of film and television “an instrument of peace.” READ MORE

Look, in these volatile times our country needs emphasis placed on virtues such as compassion, understanding and tolerance, not hatred and intolerance. Events in Las Vegas and Charlottesville tell us this. READ MORE

You accept Leah Remini’s vengeance without looking at a single allegation independently to determine its truth or falsity according to your inspection. If you really give a damn about humanity you would do more than parrot... READ MORE

I am a Scientologist and an American. I would like to practice my religion without false attacks on my church promoted as “truth” by a handful of former Scientologists for profit and entertainment. READ MORE

We need to stop doing anything that contributes to bringing about more hate and violence. Our youth need to be taught more tolerance, cooperation and harmony—NOT bigotry and hate! READ MORE

Lies like Remini throws around may garner sympathy for a while but eventually the truth comes out. I hope and pray it does not take long for her to be exposed for what she is: just another greedy liar, demagogue, hate-merchant... READ MORE

For myself, my friends and my children, please withdraw your support and endorsement of a show that seeks to legitimize the marginalization and bias against a religious group for the purpose of sensationalism and profit. READ MORE

Not only am I Scientologist for 46 years, but I am an African-American who grew up in the 50s and 60s. So I know about hatred and bigotry when I see it. And you are front and center in forcing people to believe lies that will... READ MORE

I am a proud member of the Church of Scientology and have been for nearly 40 years, and I refute every statement that Leah Remini has made that attempts to show my church in a bad light. If even a fraction of what she spews... READ MORE

Scientology is accepted as a religion throughout the world. Since the establishment of the first Church of Scientology in 1954, the religion has grown to millions of members and Scientologists practice in virtually every country... READ MORE

Let me do a compare: reading your article, and others like it, is akin to asking a Jew to read Mein Kampf when seeking to understand the Torah. Who would do it? No one. This is why your article, and others like it, are never... READ MORE

In 2013 the Church of Scientology expelled Ms. Remini. She was expelled because she either refused or was incapable of adhering to our ethical standards. Over the many years prior she was given enormous assistance to help... READ MORE

Just read your crap piece on Elisabeth Moss and Scientology. It’s articles like this which damage your credibility as anything other than a trashy magazine. Swearing has nothing to do with Scientology. READ MORE

And The Hollywood Reporter itself has a history of forwarding hate. In the 1940s and 50s, the publication was part and parcel of fomenting the anti-Communist campaign in Hollywood, where thousands of people were blacklisted... READ MORE

Dear Mr. Belloni, Once again, Seth Abramovitch chose to be totally disrespectful and biased in his reporting of Elisabeth Moss’s amazing talents and winning two of television’s most prestigious Emmy awards. READ MORE

If his claim were true that dropping the F-bomb is a crucial part of the practice of Scientology, then he’s just swelled the ranks of practicing Scientologists to about 115 million in the U.S. alone. Since the F-bomb is... READ MORE

So your article must have been premeditated in order to jump on the former-Scientologist-loser-bandwagon with the use of the “F” word being the best you could come up with. For you, we’ll prescribe the “L” word. READ MORE

I remain involved in my church’s activities weekly, which continue to improve and lift me spiritually and mentally. I suspect that these are the same types of things that keep people involved and dedicated to their own churches,... READ MORE

If you continue to stand behind this hate speech, I will not stand behind you, and will boycott your company and tell everyone I know to do the same. READ MORE

Someone close to my family was confused and almost poisoned by the lies and the hate that this “reality TV” show has spread. Fortunately, she was able to see through the lies and is back to her usual, buoyant self. READ MORE

The Leah Remini show attacking the Church does not offer anything positive on the Church and is simply a religious hate show that can create hatred toward our members—not dissimilar to what some neo-Nazi hate groups are... READ MORE

Growing up, I never experienced hate and bigotry directed at other religions. I only knew of acceptance and respect for the religious beliefs of others. To me it is part of living in a civilized society. READ MORE

Instead of congratulating Ms. Moss for capturing two of television’s most prestigious Emmys as an actor and as a producer, Rachel Desantis chose instead to take a cheap shot at her religion. READ MORE

If anything stands out as evidencing THR’s studied bias against members of the Church of Scientology it is Seth Abramovitch’s utterly shameful treatment of Elisabeth Moss (September 22). READ MORE

In these troubled times, I am concerned that your company’s advertising dollars are supporting a show that has promoted religious bigotry and hatred. Our country does not need more divisive rhetoric, which only leads to... READ MORE

A&E has resurrected bigotry with Remini’s “Aftermath” and regrettably, you are a supporter. Through your support you have become a partner in hate, bigotry and lies. This is true. I am a businessman and run the largest... READ MORE

It is a fact that overt and covert discrimination is what leads to violence, and right here and now I am standing up for my rights not to have violence leveled against myself or my fellow Scientologists. READ MORE

This country has seen, in its history, far too much violence from false information. With such recent events as the Charlottesville tragedy, we can see that bigotry only begets more violence and harm to the people of a nation.... READ MORE

The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. famously stated: “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with... READ MORE

While forwarding Remini’s assertion in your August 18 article that “Elizabeth Moss believes she can’t talk to me,” the facts now reveal that Remini has squelched Scientologists’ right to communicate by blocking their... READ MORE

For a company such as Geico to support with your advertising dollars a program that, through false information, blatantly attacks my religion and the people that practice it, is not just un-American, it is absolutely fascist. READ MORE

By your endorsement, you condone the many threats of harm to me, my fellow Scientologists and our church properties. I cannot imagine that you would do this to the religions of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism or Buddhism... READ MORE

The bottom line here is that this show you are supporting with your advertising dollars promotes false information and bigotry. This leads to bullying and violence. We live in a country that is overwrought with division, violence... READ MORE

Leah Remini’s programs on Scientology are designed to create a false picture of Scientology, its organizations, and its leaders. This is why I can no longer consume, purchase, or support those companies that sponsor this... READ MORE

What motivates an ex-Scientologist to spread hate and lies about my religion? She is well paid for the trash that she and others spew. If you actually knew her, you probably wouldn’t invite her into your home or to your... READ MORE

You consistently go to ex-Scientologists and anti-Scientologists to interview. There is a handful of those, but there are over ten thousand Scientologists in Tampa Bay alone, who are very happy with the Church and who can... READ MORE

I feel it is important that anyone be allowed to have free choice to embrace their own religion, as they personally determine. If a person finds that their faith has been helpful to them and others they love, and made improvements... READ MORE

Aligning your products and media energies to show positive actions that are happening in the United States is what we as a people need. We need to calm the rhetoric, and this A&E program is not doing that. It is inciting violence... READ MORE

Do you think it is smart, funny, or otherwise appropriate to sponsor a show that is fomenting hatred and animosity toward a religion? Is this your idea of an intelligent use of your shareholder’s money? READ MORE

Hate begets violence, as recent news events have shown. Remini’s rants have spawned hundreds of threats of violence against my church and its members and leaders. A woman drove her car through the front doors of one of our... READ MORE

The show your company supported by advertising spawned immediate documented death threats to all members of the Church of Scientology. The coincidence was uncanny. READ MORE

I personally cannot and will not support a corporation, no matter how much I like their product, that lends its name and advertising dollars to a program that forwards hatred against my religion. READ MORE

Skechers is promoting religious hate through your advertising support of the Leah Remini series about Scientology on A&E. Support of this show is equivalent to supporting the Ku Klux Klan’s views against non-whites and Catholics... READ MORE

The show “Aftermath” promotes hatred toward one particular religion, the Church of Scientology. That hatred causes the insane to commit acts of violence. READ MORE

You are advertising on a network that has blatantly supported religious discrimination which has led to acts of violence against people of faith. It is disgusting and I’d like your help to make this stop. READ MORE

In this current climate of political and religious unrest, it is astounding that you would add to the fray with your support of this show, especially since Leah Remini’s allegations are untrue. This is a direct attack on... READ MORE

The religious contempt you expressed in your article headline is such blatant bigotry. Couching it in “One wonders whether the backlash will affect Moss’s chances on Emmy night” outs your actual intent. I am frankly... READ MORE

While I understand your line of business is about reaching as many people as possible to generate income through your ads, I also understand that responsibility for one’s society, care of others’ beliefs, respect and admiration... READ MORE

Kirstie Alley, even according to you, is a fine actress and woman of immense courage and integrity who loves life and loves people. Leah Remini on the other hand is a coward without sincerity or integrity… READ MORE

Your sponsorship is, wittingly or unwittingly, assisting a blatant attempt to destroy an American religion. Threats of violence have been made against members of my church. There are real consequences and real people involved.... READ MORE

In an era when we need to focus on the great things that unite us all, don’t be the corporation that’s funding the rise of hatred in America. Because let’s face it, if Scientology were guilty of all those things that... READ MORE

I’m profoundly saddened and disgusted that you have chosen to advertise on A&E during Leah Remini’s show that promotes intolerance and bigotry. In light of the recent events occurring in our country, that you would support... READ MORE

My grandfather, Harry Warner, President of Warner Bros. Studio for over 50 years, considered the medium of film and television “an instrument of peace.” READ MORE

Leah Remini is a hateful woman, running a campaign against her former religion that advocates religious bigotry. In today’s world, with many people taking drugs in many forms, this incites people to commit violent acts which... READ MORE

I am writing to protest your financial support of A&E’s anti-religious hate show with Leah Remini. Your advertising dollars are fueling hate and violence toward Churches of Scientology and Scientologists. READ MORE

As members of Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination (STAND), we write to express our utter disgust at Geico once again sponsoring A&E’s Leah Remini’s show and to place our demand that you cease any further... READ MORE

The underlying flaw is that he repeated highly specious statements from highly tainted sources rather than consulting academic sources such as those available at scientologyreligion.org. READ MORE

This is the second time now that I am writing to you in hopes that I can appeal to a sense of responsibility as a major media conglomerate with viewers everywhere. The Disney brand is one that carries with it a high standard... READ MORE

My husband and I have been Scientologists for over 40 years. During this time we have raised three wonderful boys using Mr. Hubbard’s technology and we find it offensive that our children and grandchildren and children of... READ MORE

Ours is a thriving, popular, 21st-century religion that has expanded and flourished during its 67 years of existence. In fact you include the word Scientology in your article for no plausible reason. So you abuse our good... READ MORE

Unfortunately though, you are force-feeding the thinking public a diet of your obsession and her drivel, best described as hate-speech. No one asked for it and no one needs it, least of all those who are the subject of it—Scientologists.... READ MORE

Remini and her sidekick, Mike Rinder, parade themselves as bastions of goodwill, while through their despicable actions they destroy families and happiness left and right and get nominated for it. This is sickening. READ MORE

Mr. McAfee responded to this letter by writing in part: My intent was not to offend anyone, so for that I'm sorry. I only seek to critique beliefs, and not believers, and I do believe everyone has the right to believe as they... READ MORE

Leah Remini’s show on A&E is not about Scientology but about her twisted version of events. Were any of her televised installments true, Scientology would not exist. Her claims are outlandish, to put it mildly. READ MORE

The reason Scientology has survived and flourished, as it has for the last 67 years, notwithstanding the carping criticism of certain bigoted sources, is its workability and thus its popularity. You name-drop the word Scientology... READ MORE

It is unconscionable in this day and age that a reporter for a respected news network should be permitted to get away with this type of invitation to violence. It would not be tolerated with any other religion and should in... READ MORE

I find it very strange at this point in history that any company would produce a show that would so viciously attack a recognized religion, especially one that has done so much to help mankind. I mean, come on—this is 2017,... READ MORE

When you really look at this, it is the responsibility of each individual to improve themselves and not up to someone else. So Leah Remini blaming others for her state of mind is a serious mis-assignment of responsibility. READ MORE

Remini’s hate campaign, misrepresented as a “public service” in your puff piece, has caused actual harm to individuals and families, as demonstrated in these specific instances I know of personally. READ MORE

The July 13 piece, fawning over Remini’s Emmy announcement, was just today eviscerated by none other than Radar Online who report that the whole series “was a total act.” Radar further reports that an erstwhile associate... READ MORE

Why is it acceptable to support and promote a documentary which is born entirely from hate and directed at my friends, my family, me? Does someone really have to die before religious bigotry against Scientology is taken seriously? READ MORE

What is needed is an even-handed, non discriminatory approach when discussing this subject. Scientology is a new religion. It has been misunderstood because it is new. Certain individuals capitalize on others’ ignorance... READ MORE

What’s one of America’s best-known insurance brands, where “15 minutes can save you 15% or more…” doing supporting a controversial hate and propaganda program such as the A&E’s Scientology and the Aftermath? There... READ MORE

Once again, I’m writing to express my upset, outrage and utter disgust at your renewal of the direct attack on my religion through Leah Remini’s self -promotional fiction. READ MORE

This type of television programming is frightening and has placed people at risk. I have grandchildren and I have become concerned for their safety. I personally request that you cease your financial support of this horrible... READ MORE

Face it you are supporting the single most unfounded, vicious, vile anti-religious hate in years. And NONE of her allegations are supported by a single documented fact. Not a one. It is all vicious hatred from an ex-member. READ MORE

Here’s an analogy: I am quite sure that Tiffany & Co. has customers who had a bad experience at their store from time to time. That doesn’t mean that Tiffany is bad. A program that collected a half-dozen disgruntled ex-customers... READ MORE

As a Scientologist, I have seen Scientology do too much good and change too many lives dramatically for the better to stand by while a systematic effort to denigrate it is allowed to pass itself off as information. READ MORE

What is one of America’s best-known drug stores, “at the corner of Happy and Healthy,” doing supporting a controversial hate and propaganda program such as the A&E show Scientology and the Aftermath? There must be less... READ MORE

Scientology is a truly unique contemporary religion—the only major religion to emerge in the 20th century and flourish in the 21st. While it owes a spiritual debt to Eastern religions, it was born in the West and its religious... READ MORE

Leah Remini’s hatred has spawned over 500 death threats, bomb threats, and acts of violence. Perpetrators were prosecuted and jail terms were served. Her hate speech caused children to be bullied at schools, employees to... READ MORE

Adhering to your formula, one could describe a Christian group as “pagan-like” or a political organization as “cannibal-like” or, better yet, a media outlet as “criminal-like.” Those groups would certainly, and... READ MORE

I read the piece you published in ricochet.com entitled “The Denver Post Successfully Lowers Public Intelligence.” What a shameless, bigoted reference to the Church of Scientology you carried in it. READ MORE

I read your article on “recruiting to Scientology.” The problem from the very beginning is that your reporters lied when they walked into my Church. READ MORE

I do not think I have ever seen a more smug looking pair of bigots in my entire life, pouring on-air scorn toward members of my religion, Scientology, while they sniped at it with the single most discriminatory man in Australia,... READ MORE

Your article entitled "Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Celebrate Their 11th Anniversary” contains totally unnecessary anti-religious bigotry against the Church of Scientology. READ MORE

I read your take-off of Scott Campbell’s hateful Daily Mail article purporting to cover Scientology Volunteer Ministers working at the Grenfell Tower disaster helping those directly and indirectly affected. READ MORE

I read the hateful article by Scott Campbell criticizing Scientologists for coming to the Grenfell Tower disaster to help those directly and indirectly affected. READ MORE

We, the undersigned, are writing about your corporate responsibility in supporting a show airing on A&E attacking our Church while inciting threats and violence. READ MORE

Over the last few years, I’ve had two long-term girlfriends who were negatively affected by Leah’s unfair portrayal of my religion… READ MORE

I’ve always believed that hate begets hate, and Leah Remini’s one-sided program sends America a message that it is okay to terrorize someone because of their religious views. READ MORE

My name is Dominick Joseph and I am writing you today in an attempt to focus your attention on the negative effects that are being created in my life and the lives of people I know as a result of a show being produced by one... READ MORE

I decided to write you as I recently found out that A&E has just green lit another season of “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.” I’m not sure if you are aware of this or what this show is about, but I wanted... READ MORE

[My daughter] has been dealing with teachers spreading hate to the class about our religion, student insults about Scientologists and bigoted statements from two coaches that are date coincident with the airing of this show. READ MORE

I have always loved Disney for their anti-bullying and anti-discrimination policies but not now that you are supporting a program which is only creating false information, bigotry, bullying and discrimination against Scientologists. READ MORE

This show has created an environment of hostility and prejudice that I never thought I would have to experience. You can imagine my outrage when I saw that A&E had picked the show up for a second season. READ MORE

I have been a Scientologist for 38 years. I entered it of my own freewill and have remained a Scientologist since then because I want to. READ MORE

My grandfather, Harry Warner, President of Warner Bros. Studio for over 50 years considered the medium of film and television “an instrument of peace.” READ MORE

Why not do a show that shows the millions of people who have been helped by Scientology? Or the millions of people who have found personal relief and help due to the selfless humanitarian deeds of Scientologists? Rather than... READ MORE

When you sit in a room, as I have, and quietly listen to your 90-year-old mother talk about the KKK riding through a North Carolina town with torches, causing the kind of fear she as a young child had never before seen in... READ MORE

Thousands of interested people walk into Scientology Churches for the first time every week to find the answer—for themselves—to “What is Scientology?” READ MORE

At what point will someone at A&E step up and say, “Hey, wait a minute. We are paying a couple of ex-members of a thriving religion to get others to carry their message of hate. Is this the type of channel we want to be?” READ MORE

Surely the executives and stockholders of A&E must condemn violence against a single religion. Assuming I am correct, how is it possible to renew the Remini show without acknowledging the harm it perpetrates? READ MORE

Please step up and take some responsibility for righting this religious persecution. READ MORE

Please rise to the occasion and close the window. Pull the plug on further shows that will only degrade your reputation. You may not realize the harm they do to individuals and families; I have seen it. READ MORE

I have been a Scientology Minister since 1968. What you are doing by sponsoring this Leah Remini witch hunt against Scientology and Scientologists is all too familiar. You are harming a lot of good people who save lives and... READ MORE

It is hard to conceive that Disney is in any way involved in such hateful, money-motivated messaging. It makes me wonder if amusement park owners in Germany actively worked to create hatred against Jews as you are doing with... READ MORE

I read your story of the missing Mrs. Renata Antczak in a recent Daily Mail. You may know nothing of Scientology, but an attempt to jab at it while reporting on a totally unrelated matter serves only to expose your ignorance... READ MORE

The Miami New Times, a part of the notorious “Backpage.com” online pimping and sex-trafficking network, saw fit to wrongly target officials participating the grand opening of the new Church of Scientology in Miami. READ MORE

What this survey does show is that media propagandists select a target to attack to create a preconceived false narrative and then conduct a “survey” to determine the result of their propaganda attack. Germans have a history... READ MORE

You published an article by Agnes Forgacz that attempts to attack the Church of Scientology for conducting an education program that brings the Truth About Drugs to children. READ MORE

I read your 10 documentaries to binge-watch on Netflix in CNN Philippines, and have just one question: how many Churches of Scientology have you been to? I would be willing to wager that you never set foot in one. READ MORE

Judging by this article, “Is Scientology compatible with Christianity?“ what you actually stand for is bigotry, hate and intolerance. READ MORE

I read your segment of early today concerning books that bring people solace and to my astonishment saw reference to Lawrence Wright’s propaganda on Scientology. READ MORE

I read your report on Brandon Scott Wolf yesterday in which you make a gratuitous—and false—assertion that the Church of Scientology has in some way avoided paying taxes. READ MORE

Margaret Singer based her work on what she claimed to be the results of studies into the treatment of prisoners of war during the Korean War. Anthony showed that the entire Korean brainwashing scare lacked scientific substance;... READ MORE

Your article “What Does Scientology Believe in?” is the latest in a long series of bigoted, reprehensible and false pieces on my religion. READ MORE

While I think I understood your point—for Gawd’s sake, if you are going to protest perceived discriminations, at least do so to ones that truly mean something—and agree with you; your use of the Scientology religion... READ MORE

Your article of last week gives your readership a completely tainted and false impression of the Purification Rundown, which, in Scientology, is an entirely spiritual address to toxins lodged in cells of the body. READ MORE

Your article in The American Spectator, “Who needs Trump Bashing every day at High Noon?” begins with a gratuitous—and false—statement about the Scientology religion. READ MORE

Your article illustrates very well the lengths people will go to to generate clicks by hitching their wagon to famous names in the news, regardless of how tenuous the comparison. READ MORE

Your (whoever you are) characterization of the Founder of the Scientology religion is offensive in the extreme, and you should be utterly ashamed, if indeed it is possible for you to feel shame. READ MORE

Your reference insults not only members of the Scientology religion but also anyone who cares about respect for the religion or beliefs of others. Your article shows an utter lack of respect for anyone who believes in something... READ MORE

Your article of March 27 contains numerous offensive and reprehensible—not to mention false—references to Scientology—my religion and that of millions of other people around the world. READ MORE

Had you a sincere interest in what happened in connection with my father and me, you could have reached out to me and I would have informed you of the facts. To my mind, this is just another ethical departure from the truth... READ MORE

This letter is to express my disgust at the bigoted, snark-laden portrayal of the Church of Scientology in Rosie DiManno’s column published yesterday on the website of the Toronto Star and affiliated publications. READ MORE

The snide, snobby, condescending and bigoted view of one far too satisfied with her own ignorance is grossly out of place in today’s world where it is shameful to fan hatred toward members of any religion. READ MORE

Leah Remini’s only interest is in creating religious hatred to swell her own pockets. She’s a professional bigot on A&E’s payroll, producing a vindictive, one-sided series that never for a moment sought balance. A&E... READ MORE

In today’s world of media-incited religious hatred, no one faith should be used as a prop to attack another. The only product of your posting is to spread bigotry against Scientology. And if the press popularizes bigotry... READ MORE

Wright’s book presented an inaccurate and misleading picture of Scientology, based on myths, urban legends and deliberate distortions while perpetuating anti-religious bigotry against the Scientology religion. READ MORE

The Scientology religion is for the individual. It is not dependent on someone or something else. Membership is not in any way hinged upon celebrity. READ MORE

The web page of the United States Department of Justice dealing with religious freedom doesn't say “Protecting the Religious Freedom of All, Except Scientology.” It states, “Protecting the Religious Freedom of All.”... READ MORE

As your aim is to “open a dialogue between millennials and key decision makers” it is incumbent on you to provide your reading public with the facts and not one man’s bigoted and corrupt view of religions and the world... READ MORE

Gratuitous, inflammatory comments like the ones you published in your closing paragraph do nothing more than show arrogance and disdain toward people of faith. READ MORE

Beware of bitter individuals, generally they are attempting to hide their acts and their lies by creating lies about others. READ MORE

We are so open it is laughable as to why a person would be more attracted to hearing about false, salacious statements rather than researching the subject directly. One can know very quickly the scope, intention, and actual... READ MORE

Leah failed as a Scientologist because she was unable to maintain the ethical standards of the Church. This is something that I personally observed. READ MORE

My point is that we all have a right to our own religious beliefs. And we don’t denigrate the faith of others, as many others do. It is this practice that is largely contributing to the current climate of hostility and non-acceptance... READ MORE

You took at face value claims made by former sitcom actress turned obsessed anti-Scientologist who now gets paid to smear her former faith. READ MORE

I strongly suggest that you refrain from such inappropriate treatment of Scientology or any other religion or belief. READ MORE

How come you permit A&E to carry such a single-sided monologue disparaging innocent people, all with the purpose of “brainwashing” them from their chosen faith? READ MORE

You have made a serious ethical mistake, believing that people consider this kind of attack inspiring. READ MORE

Why don’t you do a story that has some originality and feature actual currently practicing Scientologists and find out why people practice the religion to begin with? READ MORE

I am not sure who your reporters have been talking to, but clearly it has not been myself, my wife or any of our many Scientologist friends with bright, beautiful, amazing children who have only benefited from Scientology. READ MORE

I am writing regarding 20/20 and the inappropriate and outright preposterous accusations against the Church of Scientology regarding children. READ MORE

Please do your homework and research in truth. Seek information from those who would know about children and the religion of Scientology, the parents. READ MORE

My wife and I never worried about our son becoming connected with people who would steer him in the wrong direction. READ MORE

We respect your right to freedom of speech and the press. You should respect the rights of Scientologists to freedom of religion and association. Bigotry of any kind has no place in a free democratic society. READ MORE

It has come to my attention that a group of Scientology apostates are going to appear on 20/20 with a show intentionally designed to attack and create hate toward the religion she was formerly a member of. READ MORE

I am incensed that you would lend your name to the forwarding of such hateful lies. READ MORE

I had met Leah Remini several times and worked with her on one occasion and that from what I personally observed, she was someone who would do or say almost anything for personal profit. READ MORE

This show you’re about to air has hurtful, wrong information about my religion. It’s that type of incorrect information propagated that will result in wrongfully targeted hate and bias. READ MORE

I can’t even believe that a respectable organization like ABC would consider airing or even creating a program that outright attacks a valid religion in the United States of America. READ MORE

The Scientology children that I know, including my son, are raised to have an ethical presence and to not be bullied. READ MORE

Your network has decided to air yet another anti-Scientology piece, and I’m not only outraged, you’ve made me—for the first time ever—genuinely concerned for the safety of my family. READ MORE

When did you decide that ratings take priority over truth? When did you decide that spreading controversy, religious bigotry and outright lies to inflame viewers was part of your job? Are you a catchpenny tabloid or a balanced... READ MORE

This negative show, which we both know is of a mocked-up “reality” full of less-than-upstanding ex-Scientologists, hits straight into the core of what people of good faith are working to achieve on a daily basis. READ MORE

If you slander this upbringing at all, it is an act of bullying, bigotry and straight-up slander, based on lies and hate. READ MORE

The Leah Remini attacks on the Church of Scientology, my religion, are her own personal affair, for which she must take her own responsibility, and it is inexcusable for your organization to forward such hatred and bigotry. READ MORE

Do not malign my religion and spread lies about our treatment of children. READ MORE

That you would attack these people, me, my group, my religion is beyond me and I will not stand for it. READ MORE
