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 from the rumor-mill.
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, we both know what it means to be persecuted for our religion, and we are the last people who should do this to anyone.
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.
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.
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.
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 ridiculous.
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.
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 religious matters.
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 community and yourself.
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 core practice of the Scientology religion.
