CofS, Inc's example of "religious freedom"
(Below is a "demonstration" of the Church of Scientology, Inc.'s belief and
support of religious freedom. They are currently asking freezone
scientologists to sign this "Deed of Undertaking." This is the kind of stuff
(hypocrisy) that CofS, Inc. tries to keep hidden from their own members and
the general public. This is not a document by a "church", it's a document of
a BUSINESS enterprise ... Safe )

So in other words, the CofS, Inc. syndicate does NOT want freezone
scientologists PRACTICING scientology.
Can you spell BIGOTRY and HYPOCRISY?
Can anybody possibly believe CofS, Inc's alleged "fight for religion
freedom?"
What a joke, huh? I hope you church scientologists can see this. It's not
funny at all. CofS, Inc. is running OFF THE TRACK from the church creed and
code of a scientologist. Isn't it time you look?
