Okay, I'll ask other Scientologists since this "expert" doesn't wish to answer questions. Does Scientology condone suicide?

Once again the "spirit" lunatic declined to answer on 4/24/2000, saying "Stop pestering me, little boy."

Asking questions about Scientology appears to be considered "pestering," it looks like. Ask any question about Scientology and this "expert" tries to TR-L and Black PR the questions according to HCOB Policy.

I have another question about Scientology that maybe you could answer:

In 1984, Scientology's "International President" Heber Jentzsch, along with 68 other ringleaders and assorted felons, were arrested in Madrid, spain. Among the many crimes that these people were arested for were:

-=- Quote from commencement of criminal proceedings -=-

Exhibiting, in principle and without prejudgment, the qualities of the felonies of illicit association, threats, coercion, usurpation of functions, false accusation, simulation of a felony, illegal arrest, crimes against the Tax Administration, crimes against freedom and safety in the workplace, intrusion, crimes against public health, injuries, damages, abuse, slander and inducement to suicide

-=- End quote of 1984 commencement -=-

My question: Does Scientology condone suicide? If not, explain why your International President is facing 30 years in a Spanish prison.

Your "question" is overly abrasive, which I find distasteful.

No, the Church of Scientology does not "condone" suicide.

Two individuals testified in the Clearwater expose about Scientology (available at www.xenutv.com) that when they were out at the Hemet compound with Hubbard, one of the young staff members there threatened to commit suicide. Hubbard was told, and his reply was "If she wants to kill herself then let her kill herself. Just get her off my property first!" If you are interested in the RealMedia clip of the testimony, you'll find it as a Husband and Wife testimony on XenuTV.Com

While setting aside the unfounded notion that the question is "abrasive," I thank you for your new Hubbard quote. I'll have to find that one. As for Heber Jentzsch and the remaining 12 suspects still up on charges in Spain, there does appear to be a marked atitude among Scientology's leaders to either condone or induce suicide among its followers.
