Mr Carter, most of us have done our research. Government docs, eye-witness accounts, former sci's who've fled the Co$ aren't recycled rumors. I've been in a scientology center myself. I've read the sci-myth site, I've read the countless posts from your fellow sci's that are vacant of any facts. Basically, all I've seen since I've been here is 2 different stories. One side with facts to back itself up. The other, no attempts to refute with any facts, but with a bunch of hemming and hawing. One just needs to read the sci-myth site entry about the FreeZone. Give me a break.
Here is the entry from the scientology myths site:
Freezoners (Ron's Org, Freezone, Galactic Patrol) are groups who alter Scientology technology and form their own groups to apply this altered technology. They are small in number and fairly insignificant to the Church. I understand the largest Freezone group is in Germany, which makes sense, since Germany is well behind the curve in supporting religious freedom.
Freezones are not religious in nature, they are money making ventures, originally started by Captain Bill Robertson.
They claim they cannot trust the current Church management structure (which was set up by L. Ron Hubbard) because it is not what Hubbard would want. They have had many criminals in their midsts. Such as Robertson, Robin Scott and David Mayo. Many of them are declared Supressive Persons by the Church and freely admit so.
I feel this transcript of an interview with former Freezoner Jon Zegel explains it very well.

This entry is riddled with jabs, and is in no way unbiased. The FreeZone was founded by people who did not agree with the Co$'s money hungry, litigious ways.
Like the posts on all these websites, if you research like Mr Carter asks, you will find very few facts, very few 3rd party studies on the claims the Co$ makes, and many outlandish promises. Just watch the Tom Cruise video on gawkers, or just start clicking links and you'll find tons of well researched and documented proof of the wonderful nature of the Co$.
We're not helping Scientologists. We're helping people.
