it's panorama's second doc. on scientology, but this one includes the testimony of some defectors from way high up.


weird, I used to drive by their home base almost daily, and thought it was some sort of film studio.

I can walk into the Church of Scientology (in Vancouver) any time I want and ask questions. It is no cult. The question for me is rather if it is a religion or psychotherapy.

I explained the cult to him.   He has since changed his mind on it.

I'm less than two minutes in and already noticed more issues than that, for instance the whole rips families apart thing.

Status: offline 		The Scientology world headquaters is located in Clearwater,Flordia.Not too far from where I live.I have walked around Downtown Clearwater a number of times.You can usually tell who they are.They all wear the same nice white suit around town.They come in with busloads of people almost everyday.They even have a nice little resort for their private members.This is what a Secret Society is all about.I guess Clearwater was an easy pick for them.Year round warm weather and plenty of sunshine.The Beaches are maybe a mile away.Who knows,makes it easier for Tom Cruise to enjoy a day at the beach.
