Re: Scientology and abuse

Excellent idea, protection for the "weak" at least, from exploitation and abuse by cults "to their detriment, physically, psychologically or financially" from those who KNOWINGLY prey on them...
The problem will arise, in Belgium, or in the U.S., with establishing the "weakness", the "detriment", and the "knowledge" on the part of the person or group who allegedly victimized the alleged weak person.
I say alleged not because I am doubtful about the fact that there are weak or vulnerable people, on either a temporary or a permanent basis, who are being victimized, by individuals or groups who have full knowledge of what they are about, but because I know how the law works, and I worry that it would be extremely difficult to apply such a law or win such a case.

Re: Scientology and abuse

That being said, the Court of Public Opinion might be influenced by the fact that such a law had been passed, regardless of the outcomes of individual cases.
And cult leaders might be somewhat deterred, if such a case could be successfully pressed against such a group. (as in the case of Maharishi)

Re: Scientology and abuse

It's about time and good to see at least some nations cracking down on these anti-human, New Age freaks and their macabre "sciences".

L. Ron Hubbard was a decent writer but an absolute con-man. I have no doubt he is receiving his just rewards for his perfidy. As apparently his followers now will in Belgium, at least.

This is welcome news.
