Over de @PartijvdDieren
1/2 Wat is het hoofdkenmerk van n sekte? Controle over de kudde door de sekteleider. @estherouwehand liet zich niet controleren dus moest ze verdwijnen, niet goedschiks dan maar kwaadschiks. Het bestuur zal niet toegeven, want naast verlies van controle is gezichtsverlies een nono in een sekte, denk maar aan #Scientology.

#Scientology In #London Is A Joke

Today we're taking a very #British gander at @scientology London: their hilarious welcome video, their terrible Instagram and website, all of which reveal that almost no one is actually going to their #church here. Wrapping up with a go at the infamous '#personalitytest'!

#Scientology has officially joined the club of REAL organized religions.

“Prosecutors alleged that Masterson used his prominence in the Church of Scientology — where all three women were also members at the time — to avoid consequences for decades after the attacks.

The women blamed the church for their hesitancy in going to police about Masterson. They testified that when they reported him to Scientology officials, they were told they were not raped, were put through ethics programs themselves, and were warned against going to law enforcement to report a member of such high standing.”

Good.

Those women never got a choice and were silenced by #Scientology. And even today, he still shows no remorse.

A third accuser, who was identified as N. Trout & who was raped in 2003, did not tell the church of #Scientology but shared it w/her mother & best friend. “If you have a #legal situation w/another member of the church, you may not handle it externally from the church, & it’s very explicit,” she said, acc/to court documents. She added that she “felt sufficiently intimidated by the repercussions.”

#BelieveSurvivors #Rape #DannyMasterson

Court documents also said that #Masterson had raped another woman, identified as Jen B., in April 2003 after he gave her a drink. Jen B., who sought the #Scientology church’s permission to report the #rape, later received a written response from the church’s international chief justice that cited a 1965 policy letter, which for her raised concerns she could be ousted from her family & friends if she reported a fellow #Scientologist to the police. Still, she reported the rape in 2004.

The mixed #verdict was delivered after a #jury deadlocked on all 3 charges in Nov, resulting in a mistrial.

The retrial this spring lasted more than a month before #Masterson was found #guilty of 2 counts of #rape by #force or #fear.

…two of the women had accused the Church of #Scientology, to which they also belonged, of discouraging them from reporting the rapes to the authorities. The church denied that it pressured the victims.

#BelieveSurvivors #Rape

The case against #Masterson drew widespread attention, & at times mirrored a television saga, in part because of accusations that the Church of #Scientology, to which Masterson belongs, had tried to discourage his accusers.

In May, Masterson was #convicted of raping 2 women at his home in the Hollywood Hills in the early 2000s. The jury deadlocked on a charge that the actor had raped a third woman.

I usually prefer not to share posts that don't have alt text for the images, but this is too good. The image is of a somewhat blockish building that has a very basic cross at each corner of its sign, which says Church of spaceship beep boop.

Right to repair’s unlikely new adversary: Scientologists

A right to repair proposal
Was deemed "totally unreasonable"
But the unlikely foe
Was the Church of Scientology, so
It'll be hard for the motion to pass
