Rupert Murdoch calls Scientologists 'creepy' and maybe 'evil'

[FrodosPet]

41. More, less, or equally nutty, what's the difference?

The whole point comes down to "Is using the legal system and sometimes law enforcement officers to harass your critics immoral?"

Is allowing the death of a disturbed young lady (Lisa McPherson) immoral?

"This file has been on the internet for awhile but it is hard to find so that is why it's being posted on Wikileaks. This file is important because this is the actual report done by Scientologists who were in charge of keeping Lisa McPherson in confinement, which is where she died. Search for Lisa McPherson on Google and you will find this document, after much searching. This is being leaked because this is the official Church of Scientology recount of the days leading up to Lisa McPherson's death. Lisa McPherson has been dead for more than 10 years now, but this document is still important, as it gives a glimpse into what she went through."

Lisa McPherson (February 10, 1959 – December 5, 1995) was a member of the Church of Scientology who died of a pulmonary embolism while under the care of the Flag Service Organization (FSO), a branch of the Church of Scientology. Following the report of the state's medical examiner that indicated that Lisa was a victim of negligent homicide, the Church of Scientology was indicted on two felony charges, "abuse and/or neglect of a disabled adult" and "practicing medicine without a license."

The charges against the Church of Scientology were dropped after the state's medical examiner changed the cause of death from "undetermined" to an "accident" on June 13, 2000. A civil suit brought by her family against the Church was settled on May 28, 2004.

If you can read this and say these are not evil people to put her through this abuse, then I don't know what to say. Are other religions nutty, sometimes evil? Yes. But why does that even matter? The other religions deserve attention, but the Church of $cientology is the focus of this thread.
