Italian police reportedly unearthed hidden dossiers on 'enemies' during a raid on Church of Scientology offices in Turin.
The files, apparently discovered behind locked doors in a basement office, allegedly contained personal information on judges, police officers and journalists identified as hostile to the Church.

Not a shock from what I have heard.
I remember when South Park had a run in with the scientologists.
That was awesome.
This is SOP for Scientology.
Excuse me? The Italian authorities have time to harass a harmless bunch of kooks, but what about the evil, scumbag, and violent jihadis?
What makes you think scientologists are harmless?
Ever see Greta Or Travolta behead anyone. I couldn’t care less about the inner-church purse fights between current and ex members. That’s their purse fight to have.
The most famous muckety mucks generally keep their noses clean, but lesser eminences of the COS specialize in harassing anyone (ex COS or simply concerned strangers) who dares cross the COS in public. I get the idea that sort of conduct is less tolerated in Italy than in the USA.
Exactly, blackmailing judges, journos and politicians is not harmless for the democracy.
Speaking of “purse” fights, the COS managed to intimidate the IRS (!) into allowing tax deductions no other church gets. Shouldn’t you, as a Roman Catholic, be a bit incensed at this?
Severe emotional (if not physical) child abuse sanctioned in the name of a religion that was founded, not on the basis of an honest mistake, but as a JOKE. How heartless and crazy can people get? I guess they finally got semi-sane by realizing the Sea Org had to be celibate, but oh the cost to innocent humans.
There are many accounts of children being locked up in a chain locker on the ship.
There is a poster on this site that has been in Scientology for over 20 years. When you try to show him things that go on in the Church he says they are all lies.
How many times ...from how many people...from how many countries...do you have to hear about the abuses before it starts to click that something is wrong with the Church.

The limp wrists are more than welcome to harass me. They’ll get the same treatmeant as the mooslim dirtbags.
When they start to get “ins” with the gummit that your own august organization is denied, isn’t it time to do something?
They are the least of my worries. IF they think some space alien is their god, that’s their business.
So even if you don’t give a damn what they worship (I’d think a Christian ought to) maybe you ought to give a damn where that is taking them.
