(30,481 posts)I did add some more to my response in an edit. I am no fan of Scientology and am embarrassed it is a religion according to the IRS. How the hell does one intimidate the IRS? They did it. I am also one of those believers in the many stories where dissenters have often disappeared. I think that is better understood by some of us in the community. Most of us think the guy on the corner of Missouri and Lake in Clearwater is actually a Scientologist. He holds a sign and yells in a megaphone all day long. Many of us think it is one of them and they are showing that they openly welcome dissent. Yes, it is a complete conspiracy as none of us have one shred of proof. That being said, there is plenty of proof for a lot of their shenanigans, including some that should include serious jail time.
Too Add: I ran into Kirstie Alley when I was with my nephew at Sand Key Beach. She was out in the water and yelled at my nephew to come over. My nephew was around eight at the time. She couldn't stop telling him how cute he was. She and a friend of hers played out in the water with him for about 20 minutes. I taught him who she was when we got home and he was floored. She was amazingly nice. I don't give her a pass for the reason she is here. I do appreciate the fact she was down to earth and very kind.
