    It astounds me that this guy has the nerve to call your report anti-religious. Talk about stretching. I guess when you only have one response to critics you don't know what to do when it stops working.

    Thank you for your coverage of this important story.

    I hope the Catholic church will pay close attention to Maureen Bolstad's and Laura DeCrescenzo's claims of forced abortion.

    Many other ex-Scientologists have told similar stories of coerced abortion. This shameful, illegal practice needs to be stopped.

    Dont let that cult goon intimidate you CO. Scientology only poses as a religion for legal reasons.

    Evils such as Scientology thrive on the ignorance of the general public. Thank you for your assistance in educating-- and thereby innoculating-- good-willed people who might otherwise have been seduced by Scientology's manipulative false promises and other lies. I have been researching this cult for over five years, and *still* my jaw occasionally drops in astonishment from discovering some new example of their abuses, their absurdity, their willingness to lie, lie, lie.

    Typical. If you're not posting something positive about Scientology, you're supporting hatemongers and a bigots. Seems like that's pretty much all that Tommy Davis says these days.

    I also like how he uses the word "Tolerant". Like I should tolerate the cult's crimes and stop caring because they're under the guise of a religious group.

    Scientologists say that in order to know scientology you must read the works of Hubbard. Well I read "Science of Survival" and learned this:

    "A Venezuelan dictator, Juan Vincente Gomez, once decided to stop leprosy. He saw that most lepers in his country were also beggars. By the simple expedient of collecting and destroying all the beggars in Venezuela an end was put to leprosy in that country."

    Scientology preaches that anyone who is low on their tone scale should be "deleted" (killed).

    This is not a religion. It is an abusive cult and I don't have to read anything more about them to know they should be abolished in order to protect the poor, the sick, and the elderly of this world. God Bless.

    I feel compelled as a Catholic and a member of Anonymous to speak out against the assaults on the culture of life that have become routine in Scientology including the forced abortions and splitting up of families. It is shameful that one must pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to access all of scientologies scriptures when a Bible is free in hotel rooms across the country.

    As a Christian I am very offended that Scientology, which promotes human abuse & human trafficking and by all accounts (just Google) is really a criminal organization cloaking itself as a religion for tax purposes. For Scientologists on here, who counter attack by reminding the Catholic Church of their past human abuses is really a lame attempt to defend your criminal organization. Scientology is about greed, power, control its about as religious as Amway.

    I am Catholic AND a proud member of anonymous. My Catholicism requires that I speak out against the assaults on human dignity that have become routine in Scientology including but not limited to coerced abortions and dissolutions of families. Anonymous defends legitimate faiths against the abuses perpetrated by Scientology under the pretense of proferring religious services (for which they charge outrageous mandatory " fixed donations").

    Thanks for the Scientology coverage. I was curious about it and thinking of going to one of there churches to check them out. Reading all this scares me, and I want no part of this criminal organization. It is quite frightening!
