The UK denied their Tax Exempt status last month after many appeals because the UK investigated to see if they actually gave a public benefit and served the public and the COS couldn't prove that they do .We should have such policy and a panel here in the states
I *really* wish the likes of Mike would stop with this line about the UK public benefits test. It’s not at all accurate, there are actual hate groups in the UK who are registered charities unfortunately, and most of the country’s most expensive private schools are despite there being virtually no public benefit despite their flimsy arguments. If it was down to a rigorous public benefits test half the UKs registered charities wouldn’t be allowed to be. Scientology doesn’t have charity status because it’s Scientology. There are many reasons used, one being the public benefit argument but this are nothing but lip service which all sides know, hence why they’ve gone to a lot of effort to gladhand politicians extremely unsuccessfully. But the core reason is because governments of all stripes know how unpopular it is with the public so find any flimsy excuse, public benefit being one, to say no.The UK has a history with Scientology since the early 50s and has been nothing but trouble so they just say no. It’s frustrating that people seem to think it’s some great system that makes sure only real, good charities get it, because it’s virtually as bad as the US one.
Because for over 55 years they are in every field, Politicians, every agency in Federal, State, County and Municipal orgs. They are as stated doctors, nursing, and military. The Rajneesh Cult of Oregon in the 1979-80s shared much if their tactics, intimidation being the primary tactic.
@@kilcar - Rajneesh cult orginally set up shop at the Kipp's estate in Montclair NJ but not long after the town's residents discovered the goings on the cult got booted out of town and high tailed to OR.
I don’t know if you will read this, but if you do, please tell Mark I received a phone call today from Clearwater and I answered it rather gruffly thinking it spam until I realized it was from the public storage unit contacting me about rates for my current moving process to Florida. I asked her if she was from Clearwater she said yes, so I said please vote for Mark Bunker for city council she said she would.
I watch endless hours of SP TV, and it just creeps me out when I saw Clearwater coming up on my phone, perhaps linking it to the 👊 United against Scientology T-shirts I just bought 😅
Aaron will tell you as a Seaorg member you're required to work 60 to 80 hrs 7 days a week . They do not get birthdays or holidays off. They aren't allowed to go to family funerals or the birth of babies in the family. It's all extreme. They get 3 hrs on Saturday mornings to do laundry and other personal items and many times Miss out on that . They are required to buy all their own toiletries , laundry soap and any personal items on $50 a week so they go without . There's times where they don't get the full $50 for punitive reasons. The whole orgs focus is money money money and if your org doesn't bring in enough money you don't get paid . Even though the COS is worth over 3 Billion $'s
I found out about Lisa McPherson because my dentist sent me to Dr Minkoff. They didn’t like it when I brought up Scientology and all the articles I found. I had to run from these people. So much to say about my experience with Scientology. Mark Bunker is a saint. ❤ Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks for your service Andy, and thanks for having this wise beard man on ! You both are heros in my opinion ! End they're tax exemption & the entire Cult !!
Great content, Andy. I’m so encouraged that people with a platform and a voice and good guys like yourself are unafraid to challenge this corporate cult (that’s what I call it; it’s the term I made up for Scientology). Keep giving these people a voice and I am sure we all will keep listening! Thanks.
Onpoint. Study Robert Lifton's studies of thought reform (indoctrination/brainwashing). Book title: ":Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of 'Brainwashing' in China"
I was invited to the Church of Scientology. It reminded me of the movie Get out. All they wanted was my money those people are trained manipulators aka wolves in sheep's clothing
Mark.. Have spent a couple of years looking into and researching out all kinds of cults and cultish behavior why when it is a known and published information that Scientology was all made up do people continue their mental and physical involvement in it? My family collided with scientology about ten years ago and it caused me to want the truth.. Thank You...
Excellent information. Could the C.I.A be a part of this by them being sooo powerful? My ex-husband a medical doctor, ex-military ran for mayor have total control over our adult children who they told as kids raped and abused them and his aunt told me he used drugs and hypnosis on them and now they attack me. His aunt told me he know corrupt judges and attorneys. My kids need help. He's working on our grand kids now. He poisoned and abused me and caused me and our children memory loss and now they only believe what he tells them. He brags how he can beat the system in anything he do.
I live in Clearwater. The location is downtown it is sketch they got a fence around the place and have security and everything. U meet the weirdest people in Clearwater
Just a correction that Aaron Smith Levin confirms on his channel: his brother died in a car accident with several others; he was not driving but all the occupants were inebriated. It was Liz Gales' brother that committed suicide.
I feel horrible for people born into this "religion", but adults that choose to join...you deserve everything you get. No excuse in 2023 to willingly join this madness
You have no idea- one may be being fed Scientology doctrine at work and not even know it. I feel horrible for anyone who go has had a brush with their darkness. They tried to get me. My dentist sent me. These people are wolves in sheep’s clothing. The ultimate.
I was born into it. Im 38. When I was born my grandparents were in the seaorg. It was difficult for but they left when I was 7. There is so much wrong with this cult, it destroyed my entire family even after they had left.
@@fernandez3841 obviously If you make this remark you didn’t watch whole this video. you don’t know the whole story. Maybe one day you will. You have no clue. Come on! Dig deeper! You seem like you have no idea about this organization. Watch Going Clear documentary. Scientology is all around you- hiding and secretive in many ways. Because they are beyond EVIL. Before you comment you should do your own research before you judge anyone else. This doesn’t help anyone. Sad. You show no empathy with your comment. Mark Bunker tells you about WISE. Wake up bro! You might be in Scientology and not know it. They have no empathy for people. They train them this way! This is what auditing is- suppressing emotions so you become non reactive. I saw through it right away. Justice for Lisa McPherson. I found her story because I was in doctor office related to Scientology and death. It’s okay you don’t understand. You have your opinions too. Maybe if you ask more questions or dig deeper you would NOT make such a comment. Scientology won’t answer your any questions about Lisa McPherson death. Check out the podcast of the the woman working for Scientology dentist. They are everywhere in secret. Big question- if it’s so good? Why so secret? Before you comment you shall do your research sir. Have a wonderful day.
You appear to have above average intelligence which is why I'm surprised that you've settled on a " live your life, do your thing" worldview. If you aren't aware of the fatal philosophical (logical) flaws and would be open minded enough to know of a rationally sound, consistent, coherent and comprehensive worldview give one of your past DevGru mates a call. You know who I'm referring to 😉
I live in pinellas county, to see these people walking hundreds in packs, is so creepy and sad all at once. Religion and guns, two things that no matter the carnage and death that they cause will never be regulated, properly.
