Yes I think we all know that the BBC show bias on many important issues and this is shameful, but Scientology is a manipulative and abusive " business " selling it's self as yet another religion that is going to save you.
They use tactics against people who could be in a state of emotional crisis to fleece money from them to buy all of the books, Cd's and DVDs from the cult figure Ron L Hubbard, who famously said " the fastest way to become a millionaire is to invent your own religion".
I had first hand experience of their methods about six years ago in Birmingham. I was suffering from depression at the time and was looking for some way to reconnect with the world. I went along to 3 sessions at their school in Birmingham and was made very uncomfortable by the way they tried to sell, sell, sell all the products they had to offer.
When i got home it was the constant phone calls and intrusion in my life that was borderline harassment and they kept on asking me to come to the Scientology " Castle " somewhere in Kent i think. It came to the point where i had to tell them to" leave me the fuck alone " or i would report them to citizens advice.
One of the things i noticed most when at the Scientology center was that many of the people on this particular course seemed to be at a point of crisis and lacking in self confidence, disempowered making them open to this intrusive type of behavior. I do not wish to defend the BBC but the lid needs to be lifted on this type of " cult " and hopefully religion in general.
