Texas Win over Scientology
REPUBLICAN PARTY CONVENTION RESOLUTION PASSED MARCH 29, 2008!
On March 29th, a Houston Anon made history. This brave Anon, a Galveston county delegate to the RNC, braved a Republican National Convention policy meeting and presented a proposal to get the Church of Scientology's status as a religion revoked. This would potentially mean stripping the tax exemption as well. This will need to work it's way up the ladder and if it makes it, it will mean that part of the Republican party's platform will be stripping Scientology of its religious status.
---------------------
Resolution
Initiative for Texas Resolution Calling for the revocation of the Church of Scientology's status as a Legitimate religion in the sate of Texas.
Be it resolved that the Church of Scientology in the state of Texas no longer be recognized as an official religion, thus revoking its religious tax exempt status in the state of Texas.
In order to preserve religious tax exempt status in the state of Texas an organization must meet objectives in order to qualify. They are listed in the following statements:
1.) The organization must have an official statement of Faith. The church of Scientology has no such statement.
2.) The organization must have some form of routine worship service. The church of Scientology has no such routine.
3.) Church services must be open and freely available to the public. The church of Scientology requires its members to pay an amount equal to or greater than 15,000 U S dollars and to be subjugated to months of mind altering auditing sessions in order for a member to obtain the information regarding the teachings of Scientology. Members who complete these courses are forced to sign agreements not to inform either unpaid/unaudited members or the general public of the teachings of Scientology.
Be it resolved that the church of Scientology in the state of Texas be officially regarded as a business and not as a religion.
Resolution adopted this twenty-ninth day of March, 2008, at the Precinct Convention of Precinct Number 341, and/or senatorial district 11 Convention, Galveston County, Texas of the Republican Party of Texas.

Re: Texas Win over Scientology
lol same... kindof an odd feeling.
Mind you it is pretty hard to be a screw up 100% of the time. Chances are their bound to get something right... eventually. =D
I will be interested to see if this spreads.

Now, keep in mind, that this is yet to be passed. But I am excited about the prospect of this resolution. I won't mock or oppose any religion that brings people peace, but C0$ is, as stated above, a business, profiting off of the insecurities of people seeking acceptance. Their office advertises, "Free personality test!" They don't have to ask a single question to know that only the narcissistic and feeble minded will be drawn in by that.

Don't be too critical of those who get into Scientology. They have been mislead, as so many before them have been mislead into cults, churches, and regimes. The general-public's lack of compassion certainly won't help them get out of it again.
