A REPRESENTATIVE
FROM THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY
IN IRELAND IS FACING A HEFTY
PRICE TAG FOR THE FACT THAT SHE
WENT AFTER A FORMER MEMBER OF
THE CHURCH AND ONE OF THE MOST
VICIOUS WAYS IMAGINABLE.
APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A MAN BY
THE NAME OF PETER GRIFFIS WHO
ATTENDED THE CHURCH AND THEN
REALIZED THAT HE REALLY WASN'T A
FAN OF THE CHURCH.
HE'S ALSO AN
EDUCATOR AND RECENTLY HE WAS
TEACHING A LESSON ABOUT THE
CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY TO HIS
STUDENTS, AND HE FILMED THE
WHOLE THING AND PUT IT UP ON THE
INTERNET.
THE FORMER ñ NOT THE
FORMER MEMBERS BUT THE CURRENT
MEMBERS OF CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY
SAW THAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT.
AS YOU GUYS KNOW, THERE BEEN
VARIOUS INSTANCES IN THE PAST
WERE THE CHURCH WILL TRY TO
RETALIATE AGAINST THOSE WHO LEFT
THE CHURCH AND VICIOUS WAYS.
HERE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
THAT NOW.
IN A SERIES OF HIGHLY
PERSONAL EMAILS TO THE SCHOOL'S
PRINCIPAL SHE ACCUSED GRIFFIS OF
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, HATEMONGERING
AND HAVING LINKS TO PORN MOVIES
FEATURING TEENAGE BOYS THAT ONE
OF THE EMAILS INCLUDED A PICTURE
OF GRIFFIS TOTALLY NAKED APART
FROM ASK HELD OVER HIS GENITALS.
GRIFFIS TOOK HER TO COURT OVER
THIS.
OBVIOUSLY, IT'S
DEFAMATION IF IT'S NOT TRUE THAT
SABRINA COLLEGE WAS THE PERSON
WHO WAS TAKEN TO COURT, AND SHE
WAS SUED, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.
SHE WAS FOUND GUILTY.
THE ONLY
THING THAT WAS ACCURATE IN THOSE
EMAILS WAS THE NUDE PICTURE OF
HIM HOLDING THAT MASK OVER HIS
GENITALS THAT HE HAD TAKEN THAT
IN SOLIDARITY WITH PRINCE HARRY
WHO HAD TAKEN AN NEWS PICTURE OF
HIMSELF IN LAS VEGAS AND GOT A
LITTLE HEAT FOR THAT.
I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS OF
HIMSELF THAT HE WAS DEFINITELY
NAKED IN THE HARD ROCK HOTEL OR
SOMETHING AND I THINK THAT IS
HILARIOUS THAT YOU READ THIS
ARTICLE AND YOU ARE LIKE WHY
WOULD YOU HAVE A GUY FOX MASK
WHICH FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW
IT'S THE V FOR VENDETTA MASK
OVER HIS JUNK.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT ACCIDENT
IT'S IN SOLIDARITY WITH PRINCE
HARRY, I WANT TO PAY THAT GUY
4500 BUCKS IS THAT'S HILARIOUS.
SO GOOD.
I WANT TO BLAME IT ALL ON PRINCE
HARRY THOUGH FOR DOING IT.
IT IS ALL HIS FAULT UP BY THE
WAY, THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A 2ND.
YOU ARE SO INSECURE ABOUT YOUR
SO-CALLED RELIGION, THAT SOMEONE
SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT IT
DRIVES YOU TO SEND HORRIFIC
EMAILS TO THAT INDIVIDUAL'S
EMPLOYER.
TO DEFAME HIM.
YOU SOUND LIKE A REALLY
AWESOME RELIGION, JUST GOING
AFTER PEOPLE.
SENDING NAKED PHOTOS OF THEM.
I DO WANT TO JOIN YOU.
I DO WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.
I READ SCIENTOLOGY.
THIS IS THE BEST FOR THE
STORY BY THE WAY.
THE EMAILS
WERE SENT BY SABRINA COLLINS
WHOM THE COURT HEARD WAS AN
ETHICS OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OF
SPECIAL AFFAIRS IN THE CHURCH OF
SCIENTOLOGY.
SHE CLAIMED THAT
SHE HAD TARGETED GRIFFIS BECAUSE
HE WAS AN AVID HATE CAMPAIGNER.
SHE WAS ORDERED TO PAY MONEY FOR
THE FACT THAT SHE DID THIS TO
HIM.
$5600 WAS THE AMOUNT.
DAMAGES FOR THE VILE ATTACK.
SO GOOD.
SHE SAID I COULD HAVE DEALT WITH
IN A MORE TEMPERATE WAY.
MAYBE.
I LIKE ETHICS ENFORCER.
I AM
AN ETHICS ENFORCER.
IT'S JUST
LITERALLY LIKE IF YOU DO
SOMETHING I PERCEIVE AS BAD, I
WILL DO SOMETHING BAD AGAINST
YOU.
THAT IS IDEA OF ETHICS.
THAT MIGHT BE RETRIBUTION, BUT I
DON'T THINK ñ SHE'S DEFINITELY
LOWERING HERSELF TO A TERRIBLE
LEVEL TO DO WHAT SHE THINKS IS
RIGHT.
ABSOLUTELY.
BUT A LOT OF THE SCIENTOLOGY
STUFF DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH YOU
BELIEVE FROM THE HBO DOCUMENTARY
IS LIKE THEY AUDIT YOU AND THEY
SAY THEY MONITORING YOUR
RESPONSE TO ISSUES YOU HAVE IN
YOUR LIFE BUT ALONG THE WAY, AS
YOU CONFESS ALL OF THE THINGS
THAT YOU HAVE DONE, NOW THEY
HAVE IT ON RECORD.
HAVING IT ON
RECORD, THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY
WANT AGAINST YOU IF YOU EVER
CHOOSE TO LEAVE.
THAT IS THE
COLDEST PART OF IT IS THAT THEY
HAVE SOMETHING ON YOU AND
THREATEN YOU VERY CLEARLY IF YOU
DO LEAVE.
I DON'T LIKE IT.
I
BOUGHT THE BOOK.
I HAVE THE
BOOK SCIENTOLOGY AND IF ANYONE
WANTS A WEIRD FEELING ACTIVITY,
GO INTO A BOOKSTORE AND BUY IT
FROM SOMEBODY AT THE REGISTER.
YOU HAVE TO SAY I WOULD LIKE TO
BUY THE BOOK OF SCIENTOLOGY NOW
AND IT IS ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED
PAGES AND IT IS BIG READING IT'S
LIKE ONE OF THOSE AT CART TOLER
SELF-HELP BOOKS, AND HONESTLY,
READING IT, YOU'RE JUST LIKE, IT
DOES HIS THING AT THOSE BOOKS DO
WHICH IS THEY JUST TELL YOU
THINGS YOU'RE COMFORTABLE
AGREEING WITH FOR LONG ENOUGH.
LOOK OUTSIDE, THAT IS A SKY-BLUE
TAXI AS IT IS THAT THEY DO ALL
THESE LITTLE EXERCISES THAT LIKE
HERE'S HOW TO RELATE TO THE
WORLD THAT I CAN SEE THAT, I
RELATE TO THINGS AROUND ME AND
FRIENDS AROUND ME AND THE MY
STATE AND THEY JUST SLOWLY GET
YOU USED TO AGREEING WITH THEM
AND AT THE END IT'S LIKE ALSO
WERE ALL FROM SPACE.
AND IT'S
STRANGE.
THE THING ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY
IS A GETS A LOT OF CRITICISM,
AND IT IS JUSTIFIED CRITICISM
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS
CRITICIZED MORE AND IT IS
CONSIDERED LESS CREDIBLE THAN
OTHER RELIGIONS BECAUSE IT IS
NEWER, BUT ALL OF THESE OTHER
RELIGIONS THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE IN
ARE JUST AS WACKY.
THE FACT
THAT WOMEN COME FROM THE RIB OF
A MAN.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE
LOONY.
BUT WE TEND TO TAKE
THOSE OLDER RELIGIONS MORE
SERIOUSLY.
I DON'T PERSONALLY
BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN
ORGANIZED RELIGION AT ALL, BUT
IT IS FASCINATING TO SEE THAT
THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY GETS A
LOT MORE CRITICISM THAN SOME OF
THE CULTURES YOU HAVE YOUR
MOTHER RELIGIONS.
YOU TO SAY THIS TO BECAUSE IT
HAPPENED.
THAT STORIES OLD.
THAT STORIES FROM A TIME BEFORE
WE HAD ANY IDEA ABOUT STUFF.
IF YOU LOOK IN THE BIBLE, THEY
USED TO TELL US IN CATHOLIC
SCHOOL, NOAH WAS 190
YEARS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
AND YOU'RE JUST LIKE, WAIT, HOW?
THEY JUST LIVED LONGER BACK
THEN.
THE WEIRD EQUIVOCATION IS
GOD BILLED THE EARTH IN SEVEN
DAYS BUT THEY WEREN'T LIKE DAY
DAYS.
THEY WERE LONGER THAN WE KNOW
DAYS.
IT'S LIKE WOW WE ARE JUST IN
THIS LOGICAL KNOW ZONE.
YOU ARE RIGHT IT’S BECAUSE IT’S NEWER.
