Scientologists ‘committed fraud upon the court’ West Palm lawyer claims

In a move that could help scores of people who claim they have been duped by the Church of Scientology, a West Palm Beach lawyer on Friday asked a federal judge to rule that the controversial sect committed a fraud upon the court and shouldn’t be allowed to resolve disputes behind closed doors.

In court papers filed in U.S. District Court in Tampa, attorney Theodore Babbitt contends the church made no pretense of conducting a fair and impartial hearing on his clients’ claims that it defrauded them out of $465,000 before they became disillusioned with its tactics. He is asking U.S. District Judge James Whittemore to reverse his decision to allow the Garcias’ lawsuit to be decided by Scientologists in arbitration and instead order that it be decided in a court of law.

Sounds like Saddleback Christians. The manager-type said (paraphrased) "people are emotional this time of year, they are here getting food, they are worried about getting enough food for their families, when they see what they're giving them, they might get emotional (a lot of them will). This is when you ask them about their relationship with Jesus! "

Basically, corrupt Christians acting as one act as a semi-competent Jesus, and they like to kick people while they are down. What poor person is unaware of economic realities, and that the corrupt rich taunt them by saying this stuff?

Other side is, everyone cares about everyone else, and they really are good people, acting as Jesus (an entity composed of many intelligences acting as one family seeking common good for the whole). Like I'd believe that, but... maybe they do. Which would be nice.
