Do you remember BBC reporter John Sweeney losing it with a Scientologist?

This clip will remind you.

In 2007, while investigating the Church of Scientology for Panorama, reporter John Sweeney had a dramatic on-camera confrontation with a
church spokesman named Tommy Davis. The church was accusing the reporter of bias and it attempted to stop the documentary from being
broadcast - a campaign backed by Scientology A-lister John Travolta. Sweeney has returned to investigate the church again.

One of the Scientologists involved in the documentary, Mike Rinder, has now left the cult and has met up with John Sweeney to discuss those times.

I watched this last night and it was very interesting.

Mike was very forthcoming and revealed quite a bit about the 'church' and its practices.

How any government can accept them as a religion is beyond me.

The Church of Scientology is a cult and should be treated as such by removing benefits such as tax breaks.
