Cult or not a cult. The BBCs Panorama shed more light on the shady goings on at Clearwater USA of the (alleged) cult the Church of Scientology.
Scientologists don't seem to like the word 'cult', I suppose its a bit like calling Nazis fascists or not mentioning the M word to an actor in "the Scottish play."
Any BBD readers out there who want to make a comment on whether Scientology is a cult or not a cult, or are its members just a bunch of plain old silly cults.

Is all-action hero Tom Cruise being duped out of his hard earned money by the (alleged) cult of the Church of Scientology? (Sure to be a film in it)
This Ron L Hubbard guy certainly started something before popping his clogs. Thetans, spaceships, aliens all are here according to the Dianetics gospel.
Now you know me. I love Sci-Fi. Was brought up on it but I've never heard anything as far out as some of Hubbards theories. Where's the proof that aliens landed here and exploded atomic bombs in volcanoes 73 million years ago? Come on Ron. Come on Tom. Come on John, Are you really serious about all this?
Scientology - cult or no cult, you be the judge and send in your views.
