At least Germany has the guts to treat Scientology as the cult it is.
Talk about indoctrination from an early age.
This might sound anti-religious but I assure you I believe people should be free to practice whatever religion takes their fancy. I do not believe that religion should be in schools. The rules are most often conflicting with those of the enviroment, and inflict on those that do not wish to follow them.
My sister, for example, goes to a school where the majority is muslim. This means that the meat must be halal, even if that means my sister - not a muslim - has to eat it too (fortunatly she takes her own lunch). I could go on but I won't
Also, I am not anti-muslim, I was merely using it as an example.
Bah... People got the right to practice whatever they want, as long as that which they practice does not harm human or animals, nor one's rights in society. I must agree that the kindergarten deserved to be shut down, if the parents of the attending children didn't know that it was run by Scientology, which I think isn't the case. "It's not a religion", well define a religion for me then. If Scientology isn't a religion, then Buddhism isn't either. There isn't major differences between Scientology and Buddhism, except that Scientology cost money and is shrouded in mystery.I am sorry but Scientology is not a religion. It is a total scam. I sure hope that the people that are in it wise up to that fact. At least Germany is progressive enough to recognize it for what it is.
ArmedCitizen said:So Germany is anti religious when it isn't the majority's choice? I guess time repeats itself quite well.

Mizuio Ken said:This is the major reason, I don't consider them a religion, because, Have you ever been in a Temple or Church. Have they ever told you to thats theirs a membership fee? No...
Really if you didn't have the money for a bible or (i forget the names of the other holy books in other religions) they may actually give you a free book if they have them left.
This is why I don't see them as a religion, because religions aren't money making companies. There places for people to worship or find hope and I see none of this in Scientology.
Thats my 2 cents

This is just an attempted subversion of the Constitution, plain and simple.

The Church of Scientology is actually trying to subvert the First Amendment. No more abuse by the CO$.

Hahahahaha! Whom will this TRO be against? See you on March 15 for another PEACEFUL PROTEST.

If the CO$ has nothing to hide then why do they fear any attention on them by peaceful protests?

On February 15, 2008, the Church of Scientology of San Francisco received a bomb threat. A person wearing a mask placed a box just inside the San Francisco church building. The police were called and the bomb squad evacuated the building. The bomb squad shot compressed water in the package, which turned out to be filled with candy and confetti. There was a message on the box signed from Anonymous that read:
"To: All Scientologists - Sorry we're late, but we still want you to be our valentine - Anonymous."
TH is pleased.
Scientology also says members of the Internet activist group Anonymous made, or encouraged others to make, 8,139 harassing or threatening phone calls to the church. Anonymous sent 3.6-million "malicious" e-mails to Scientologists, the church contends, committed 10 acts of vandalism at various churches and made 22 bomb threats and eight death threats.
