Problems for The church of Scientology seem to be going from bad to worse according to a report in The New Yorker, After being under an FBI microscope for sometime, the church and some of it’s more prominent members are being investigated by the federal government for human trafficking and labor law violations.
Tom Cruise became involved when David Miscavige the head of the church and close personal friend to mega movie star ordered workers to perform services for the church and Cruise.
The workers would work tirelessly doing everything from some of the dirty grunt work to customizing buildings, rebuilding motorcycles, fixing boats all for a mere fifty dollars a week.

Poor Tom .... he can’t afford to hire people at an outrageous $15/hr (plus $15/hr for benefits). Why, based upon his last $30 Million picture deal - if he hired 10 full time staff, he’d be broke in just 48 years.
He has no choice but to force people to work, or hire illegals.
The laws that apply to you and me, simply do not apply to our elitist Libtards. We need to learn our place and just shut up. (yes, I’m being sarcastic)

It is NOT a church it is a cult. L Ron Hubbard is reported to have said “If you want to make real money, start a religion”
