This isn't nearly as wackjob as I was hoping it would be.

It just as easily could have been an atheist group.

This woman got free accomodation, food, a personal bodyguard when at port, and a decent salary on a world class cruise ship in the caribbean?!

It hurts me to say this, but thats not abuse- thats a good host!!!

Yeah, and every night Xenu would make an appearance and plow her, or a guy in a Xenu mask.

Stuck for 12 years? I would just use my OT powers to summom one of those DC8 rocket ships and peace out of there.

In all seriousness...from what I know, which isn't a whole lot, Scientology is a nasty cult.

This would be the kind of religious thread where we all get to be on the same side though.

This thread is going to be a bunch of people bashing a religion.

How on earth do Governments allow a (thin) veneer of religion to enable a group to conduct these crimes?

Big Money and Lawyers... It's what made anonymous' attack on scientology that much more interesting. How do you sue a group that doesn't exist in the same way.

Anyways, I totally though the article title was tongue and cheek comment about a pretend ship... Not a cruise ship that travels around the Bahamas. Man the locals must absolutetly hate it when that ship docks for a couple of days.
