Enforced Disconnection – The Ultimate Evil

In part 5 of this video series, I described the policy of Fair Game as L. Ron Hubbard’s method of getting even with people who were labelled as enemies of the Church of Scientology including anyone who is declared a suppressive person. I’m going to elaborate now on the most extreme aspect of this fair gaming, which in Scientology is called Disconnection.Read More »[VIDEO] What’s Wrong with Scientology – Part 6

There’s Nothing Fair About This Game

There is something very unique to the Church of Scientology that sets it apart from other religions. Like the other policies I’ve been talking about in this series, this is part of the very fabric of the organization. Many Scientologists have no idea that this goes on and would categorically deny that their church does anything like this. However, there is ample proof of it and the church even admits to this.

Do you remember that movie from the 80s called Wall Street?

Michael Douglas played the infamous Gordon Gecko, and made a speech in which he said the following:

“…greed — for lack of a better word — is good.

“Greed is right.

“Greed works.

“Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

“Greed, in all of its forms — greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind.”
