Germany wants to ban Scientology

[CBS 2]

Germany could be asked to ban the U.S.-based Church of Scientology under a Hamburg security official’s proposal that contends the group violates human rights. Hamburg’s secretary of the interior, Udo Nagel, plans to seek a nationwide ban of Scientology at this week’s meeting of top German security officials, spokeswoman Ulrike Sweden said Monday.

The German government considers Scientology a commercial enterprise that takes advantage of vulnerable people. During the summer, it initially refused to allow the producers of a movie starring Scientology member Tom Cruise as Germany’s most famous anti-Hitler plotter to film at the site where the hero was executed, although it did not expressly state Scientology as its reason.

Sounds like a prudent plan. Scientology is a cult. They worship themselves and their money. They encourage people to stay away from Psychology and the milk people of money. Maybe the US could follow Germany. No, our government has no guts to make the right decision and protect people from predators.

Some Christian congregations, particularly in lower income, urban areas, are turning to an unlikely source for help — the Church of Scientology. Scientologists do not worship God, much less Jesus Christ. The church has seen plenty of controversy and critics consider it a cult. So why are observant Christians embracing some of its teachings?

Revelation 3:14-16

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

Tom Cruise-Christ of Scientology?

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has been hailed the ‘Christ’ of Scientology according to a UK tabloid newspaper. He has been informed that he has been ‘chosen’ to spread the doctrine of the church across the globe by church officials.

Current ‘head’ of Scientology David Miscavige has even professed that in future, Cruise (44) could be worshipped just like Jesus for his work towards spreading the dogma.

Christ? Please! This is an outrage! Jesus was perfect and never sinned. He died for the sins of the world. What has Tom Cruise done? Gone on Oprah and made movies. I think he has been married 3 times and his child was conceived out of wedlock.

Wake up fellow Followers of Jesus, there are some really strange beliefs out there. I’m sure Tom Cruise is a “nice” person, but he is no Christ. Stories like this are all the more reason we need to get busy telling people about Jesus.
