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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
