Although this technically doesn't involve celebrities (but they do have a quote from another Rick Ross), I'll leave this here: Scientology's Anti-Drug Program Infiltrates NYC Public SchoolsThis is alarming. What is the CO$ going to do if they manage to recruit NYC public schoolchildren to the ranks? It's not like they are going to have lots of money like celebs. I think they're barking up the wrong tree.

Ok, if they want their tax exempt status as a religion, then they can't be 'preaching'/recruiting in public schools. Separation of Church and State goes for creepy brainwashing clammy cults too, y'all.

Separation of Church and State goes for creepy brainwashing clammy cults too, y'all. Yes & no. Bush actively recruited "faith-based organizations" to provide services to the public. While they can't proselytize, they can provide information about their church. My old church received federal grant money for several years to provide social skills, leadership, and anti-drug classes for at-risk youth in our tiny rural community.

I just object to this one specifically. I'm not sure I trust its motives around NYC school children.

The clams are clearly ramping up in preparation for the HBO doc - here is a video they produced smearing Jason Beghe. Beghe is obviously involved in the doc - his voice is the gravel-y one you head in the trailer linked above. More proof that Scientology is totally normal. Every church produces a video slamming their ex-members.

I'm not surprised they're going after Jason Beghe, he was one of the first former celebrity Scienos to come out against them publicly.

I'd say 'Poor Jason Beghe'- But if he does see this video- he'll probably be laughing as hard as I was over it. I love how all the examples of his 'violent outbursts' were from movies and TV shows in which he had a role. And the people claiming he 'hit and beat them about the head' spoke like robots as if they were reading from cue cards and possibly held at gun point. I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't Clams who got sent to the Scino Dungeons for some Thetan-like crime and 'testifying' against Beghe earns them an extra cookie and a glass of tepid water in prison.
I'm actually disappointed in the Clams here. Billions of dollars at their disposal and they can't come up with better graphic for their anti-ex-member video. The Anti-Rock videos super fundie Christian groups used to come up with in the 80's at least would add some graphic flames to engulf their Satanic subjects. Sheez, people! LRon must be so ashamed!
I hope Going Clear gets made available to the public at large quickly. I don't have HBO :-(!
