Tommy Davis:
"we insist that all people coming into the church have a thorough
checkup by their own doctors before they join us."
Why would a church insists that its new members undergo a "thorough
check-up by their own doctors before they join"? What has the Church of
Scientology to do with medical issues?

That girl really gets around, doesn't she?
Hey Tory, did the Times call you up or just watch your video and quote
from that? Either way, you really have the cult nailed on this issue.
If they do tell people to continue taking anti-seizure meds now,
that's ONLY because you raised hell about it way back when.
That statement bothered me, too. What other church does this?
Seems like they're down to Tommy Davis - whatever happened to Heber,
Leisa Goodman, Elaine Seigel, Ben Shaw, Mike Rinder and so many others
who were ordered to spin for the media?

That statement is utter bullshit. The only thing in Scientology that
requires medical clearance that I know of is the Purification Rundown.
People can get approval from wog doctors, I suppose, but Scieno MDs
seem to be preferred. The "medico" in Paris who performed that
formality was (maybe you guessed it!) Claude Boublil. Yes, the very
crackpot OT VIII who kidnapped his sister and put her on the Int
Rundown in Italy.
However, when the Paris CC sent students to Boublil to get his
authorization for them to do the Purif, they neglected to mention that
he was a Scieno, and so did he.
The plot thickens.

Why, the very same thing that happened to 800 of the 1200 Sea Org
members who worked at Gold Base ten years ago (according to Graham
Berry's latest picket report).

insult to bikers everywhere. Even at our worst, we are never as bad as
Scientology."
