That's how a real religion operates when criticized; they hire private investigators and file lawsuits.

"In 2006, the church subpoenaed him. They alleged that he was a member of the Lisa McPherson Trust, a nonprofit anti-Scientology group that a judge barred from demonstrating in certain areas of downtown Clearwater. McPherson was a 36-year-old Scientologist who died in 1995 after being in the care of church staff."

But I thought scientologist are the only ones who can really help. WTF happened to her Tommy boy??????????

I just posted on there. I said I wasn't anti scientology but I'm angry at their aggressive rules of hounding people for years. I guess there is some truths to "Life Contracts" with them. I'm not saying by law you have to obey their contracts once you're locked in, but there seems to be a double standard about harrassment with this group. How is it My wife tells them to stop sending her crap but if you stand outside and talk about them, you're slandering their "good name". If they weren't so aggressive I might of actually checked out their meeting. Hell, I might have gone a few times just for the enjoyment of being entertained by their beliefs wich kind of reflect some of my own. Anyways I kind of believe they are in fact a *Cult*. Do you guys believe they really murdered this guy or is it possible that maybe a overzealous member had killed Shawn Lonsdale? Even if it was someone really obsessed in the church, That can make the Church responsible in a civil matter. I would think.
