27. Standards for using private detectives? fair game? not involving "wog" law? A CULT not a Religion.

I urge everyone to review this case and the testimony from the three Jane Does to see how involved and fucked up Scientology is. A Scientology book was accidently introduced into evidence by the defense that outlined how to deal with crimes by scientologists against other scientologists - how they cannot be reported to law enforcement, and need to be handled by Scientology. OR, once again, all hell will come down if the rule/law is broken. This book was entered into evidence. - PROOF.

Any proof about your statement about the Catholic church and their "all sorts of written down rules against going to police"?
