Poor, misunderstood lady


Elfman slams Scientology critics

"US actress and high-profile Scientologist Jenna Elfman has no time for people who criticise the controversial religion and urges people to get their facts straight before judging."
Unfortunately, a lot of people don't have the time for actresses who don't take the time to take a critical look at the behaviours of what they call a 'religion'.

Not many religions have a 'secret service' to engage in covert and sometimes illegal activities. (Some have gone to jail for just that.) Not many religions have special 'celebrity centers' to pander to those of wealth and prestige. Not many religions keep their teachings secret, calling them 'trade secrets' and copyright them. Not many religions charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for people to become an 'adept' in the faith. Not many religions spend millions of dollars a year for lawyers to sue critics.

I wish Ms. Elfman would take a moment and look at the behaviours, not the beliefs, of her chosen faith. She might be surprised. But then, she's not allowed to, is she?
