Prepare to be stunned. I just finished watching a video on YouTube in which a camcorder-carrying critic of Scientology attempted to attend a Scientology street event and was not allowed in, despite the fact that the party was on a public street and there was a sign up indicating that all are welcome. The critic was not allowed in. The Scientologists and their security said that it was a private event and that they had received a permit to control the public street for the evening.

The stunning events took place in the two conversations between the critic and 3 Scientologists. The Scientologists were complete nutbars, it would seem. They continually asked the critic why he was afraid of Hubbard, and why he was afraid of Scientology. He said that he wasn’t afraid of either, he was just concerned because of the organization’s criminal behaviours, intolerance of dissent, and the like. When he would bring up the organization’s known unlawful behaviours instead of acknowledging or rebutting the claims, the Scientologists would attempt to dodge the issue by claiming that what the critic brought up wasn’t relevant or by asserting that the critic has committed crimes, and then they proceeded to simply start making up crimes out of thin air. They accused him of being a child molester, a wife beater, and repeatedly asked him what sorts of crime he has been involved in. Why? Because anyone who would try to take down Scientology must be a criminal them self. They must be a criminal, or they must be afraid, or they must not want people to be free. Scientology, they say, is helping people to become free, and anyone who tries to stop Scientology must be afraid of something, and anyone that calls the Church of Scientology a criminal organization must be a criminal.

This video is truly stunning.
