rivendellroseScientology is in trouble about money and misusing their members? It must be Tuesday Monday.
This time, former Sea Org folks are suing for back wages.
Personally, this looks to me (with admittedly limited knowledge of the situation - this is just my instinct!) like a case of somebody doing something stupid and then realizing years later that they could weasel money out of it, but... oh, hey! That sounds a lot like Scientology itself, weaseling its way out of paying taxes by pretending to be a religion rather than just a wacked-out conglomeration of money-grubbing and self-aggrandizing stupidity written by an embarrassment to the sci-fi genre!
Normally, I'd be more or less against people suing for back-wages in a situation that is more or less a parody of the very real tragedy of slavery across the globe. In this case, since the organization they're looking to suck money out of is Scientology? I'm all for it.
Just pretend that my icon is asking about Xenu instead of God for today, please. ♥
