Composer Placido Domingo, Jr. claims that Scientology is "scary," and that he is being attacked since formally leaving the church. He wonders if the same would happen to celebrity members Tom Cruise and John Travolta if they were to leave.
According to a report from RadarOnline, the son of the popular tenor Placido Domingo claims he was ordered by the Church of Scientology to "disconnect" from his ex-wife and daughters--since they had previously left the church. When he refused, they persisted, and he wound up leaving the church himself.
Now Placido Domingo, Jr. says that a Facebook message posted on the Church of Scientology's page ordered all people with connections to the composer to "unfriend" him. More than 120 members of the church followed suit.
In addition, Domingo, Jr. says a blog appeared online, providing the general public with many details about his personal life, some of which were completely untrue.
"It's an outrage," he says of what he maintains is a blatant invasion of his privacy. "Imagine if they did that to Tom Cruise or John Travolta. My God!"
Placido Domingo, Jr. says this is apparently not unusual for people who leave Scientology to be attacked or harassed by the church.
"They have people by the balls," he says.
He claims his reason for speaking out against the Church of Scientology is to hopefully help others from falling for their frightening trap.
If these claims are true, then it would seem the Church of Scientology needs to explain the reasons behind their behavior. And Placido Domingo, Jr. does indeed raise an interesting question. Would they do this same thing if Tom Cruise or John Travolta were to leave the fold?
Different religions have different beliefs and different sets of values--and while people should at the very least be respectful of religions that aren't their own, no one should be vulnerable to such attacks for simply having experienced a change in beliefs.
What do you think about this entire situation? Have you ever heard of the Church of Scientology doing this to other former members? Do you think Placido Domingo, Jr. is telling it like it really is?

David Korash and Waco, he thought he was a reincarnate of Jesus Christ. He was one of the leaders of "The Branch Davidian Religious Sect". His people followed him to their deaths in a fire. "The Branch Davidian Religious Sect" still exist today.
The one, however, that reminds me the most of Scientology is "The Heaven's Gate Religious Sect", Marshal Applegate their leader believed that there was a spaceship following the Hale Bop Comet and to save themselves from Armagedon they needed to shed their bodies and go on board and take the form of Aliens. They committed mass suicide in order to transfer on board the ship and become aliens. From what I have read about Scientology, they also believe in the Alien theory.
It is funny to me how Scientologist do not consider themselves a cult, however, they probably do consider these others cults. There is no difference in my opinion.
I have read that the church of Scientology tells their members not to speak to the people that leave the "so-called " religion. I have read about slave issues, making the children work for no pay, and a variety of other scary things as well. Yes, I believe they do these things and they do them willingly with no forethought. They are a cult just like the others, of course, they are brainwashed to believe that they are not. As for Cruise, well he will never leave the church, He has it made, he is one of the church favorites and receives whatever he wants.
There are literally thousands of people who have experienced what Placido is talking about, and much worse-slave labor, forced abortions, prison camps for years, child abuse, human trafficking, fraud abuse, tax violations, you name it, they have it.
Start googling and answer your own question-this has been going on for years and the question is when will the government have the will to put an end to it, and free a lot of people who are still imprisoned in the prison
Scientologists declare their outcasts "suppressive persons."
Another Scientology policy - called "disconnection" - forbids Scientologists from interacting with a suppressive person. No calls, no letters, no contact.
An SP is a pariah. Anyone who communicates with an SP risks being branded an SP himself.
Jehovah's Witnesses disfellowshiped person (DF) is exactly the same as Scientology suppressed person (SP)
Jehovah's Witnesses are EXACTLY the same.
Watchtower religion is the *Hotel California* you can check in but not *check out*.
Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult or high control group because they cut you off (harsh shunning) for dissent of any kind.
The Watchtower demands loyalty and if any Jehovah's Witness decides to leave because they disagree with doctrine,the remaining family members are commanded by the religion to shun those who have left. They will try to spin it so that it looks like some immorality was committed but most of the time that is not the case. Every member of your extended JW family and all your close friends will now shun you (basically treat you like you're dead) simply because you changed your mind on religion.The Watchtower and many adherants will deny this (lie) to the public and media.
