Richard & Judy covering Scientology - on now

[Carmenere]

As the title says

And for those of us who don' t get Richard and Judy????

running commentary, please, am still at -ahem- work.

thanks

Will keep you informed with a rough synopsis but that bit isn't on yet

Do you think Judy's a mumsnetter, perhaps?

Did anyone esle think that woman looked absolultey petrified?

And the woman for scientology look positively terrifing?

Richard and Judy didn't take any crap though did they?

They have an ex-scientologist and a scientologist minister on.

The ex-member says she married at 15, ordered to apparently. Heavily censored and controled. Ordered to have an abortion (she left at that point). Say's she recieved a bill for $89000 when she left. (she didn't pay it!)

The minister is smart and presentable but very evasive and says she has never seen anyone intimidated or mistreated in her experience.
Say's its Katie Holmes choice to have painkillers or to make noise. She wouldn't be drawn on it and said all the info was available in their literature.

I was a bit dissapointed with Richard & Judy, they were a bit soft on her imho.

do you really think so carmenere?

I thought richards little smirks at her were quite telling.

ie, you are weird, full of shit, and I don't beleiev a word of it.

Oooh jealous. Sitting in silence here so as not to wake an exhausted DD I've spend 3 hours trying to convince to sleep!!!

Did they ask if Katie had been impregnanted with L Ron Hubbard's sperm?

I agree, I thought Judy found it hard to hide her distain.

You are probably right, I'm just more blood thirsty. I want them to sit there and say you and your organisation are charlatans, it's based in nonsense and it's a cynical attempt to extract money and control people. (I suppose most religions are the same). Admittedly R&J did try but I suppose they are restricted by legalities!

they have to be polite though it isnt as though they can say
YOU ARE FUCKING WEIRD

wish i had of seen it

and you have to pay money to advance through the system

Did they mention me and the galactic walrus???

Maybe we are famous

MB, have you been accused of being a troll yet? I have. It's kind of liberating

disdain not distain. No more posting on education for me then.

What a weird organisation

I thought R & J handled it well though. They got in the money bit and R said he'd interviewed lots of ex scientlologists with similar tales to this one. I agree they'll be unable to say too much.

Get the minister on Rossy eh?
