You can’t just take the word of the propaganda machine. If you read that lawsuit by the duped homosexual..the allegations are quite schocking..Of course, they are just allegations. I bet the Church settles.

It appears that the comment from Tommy Davis may be screwed up reporting and it is getting play around the world. Perhaps the original reporter didn’t proofread and the word “NOT” should not be in the first part. I thought it odd that Tommy Davis would admit to such a thing.

One story writes this:

Church of Scientology International member Tommy Davis confirmed those practicing the religion would not seek conventional treatment for seizures.

He said: “Scientologists seek conventional medical treatment for medical conditions. Scientologists use prescription drugs when physically ill and also rely on the advice and treatment of medical doctors. The church does not involve itself in the diagnosis or classification of any medical condition.”

Part of the Scientology contract:

I do not believe in or subscribe to psychiatric labels for individuals. It is my strongly held religious belief that all mental problems are spiritual in nature and that there is no such thing as a mentally incompetent person— only those suffering from spiritual upset of one kind or another dramatized by an individual.

If circumstances should ever arise in which government, medical or psychiatric officials or personnel or family members or friends attempt to compel or coerce or commit me for psychiatric evaluation, treatment or hospitalization, I fully desire and expect that the Church or Scientologists will intercede on my behalf to oppose such efforts and/or extricate me from that predicament so my spiritual needs may be addressed in accordance with the tenets of the Scientology religion.
