Have to say, I'm very surprised the scientologists behaved that way, with or without a camera present
I was under the impression they conducted themselves with much (much, much) more restraint, for the sake of scientology's image
If I were a scientologist and saw those videos, I'd be disappointed and dismayed

The other tactic is to come into forums, and attempt to defect from $cientology to perceived crimes of Christianity. As an previous post demonstrates better than I ever could.

and it can be no coincidence that the man in the first video accused the cameraman of beating his wife AND the three scientologists in the second video accused an entirely different cameraman of beating his wife, too. And they accused him of being a child molester.
It's frightening, very disturbing

So for me the camera-man/anonymous is almost as delusional as the cultists. What does one hope to achieve by attacking them? Tell them "the truth"? One achieves nothing but counter-attack.

YES, thats exactly what I was thinking...here is another group of Scientologists who use the exact same insults!

How long would it be before you confessed, just to shut up those voices ?
Then .. once you'd 'said it' (confessed to something for which you're not guilty) they'd start up again, demanding details, dates, names, addresses.
And before you knew it, you'd be half insane, literally. And they'd have you where they wanted you.
It's no coincidence that all four used the same verbal and body-language tactics

I know a thing or two about Scientology and opponents of Scientology. And while I understand the dangers of Scientology and the brainwashing its members go through, I have found Scientology-attackers to be almost as agressive and fanatic as Scientologists themselves.
If they call all Scientologists "insane" and "dangerous", rather than having some compassion for them having fallen into the trap, thats not helping the situation much.
This is no different than calling all christians or all muslims or all democrats or all republicans _______________ (fill in the blank).
My ex-girlfriend was a Scientologist...not because she was insane or dangerous but because she was naive.
