It's time for you to move on to another career, buddy. You're

obviously not equipped to stay focused on the issue of anti-depressants, which

is my sole reason for being a part of this group.

Is there anyone else out there who is interested in starting a new

group which actually follows this group's purpose as set forth by the SSRI

Crusaders Group's description: SSRI medications was formed to expose the damaging

effects of the SSRI - Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors known as:

Prozac, Paxil, Effexor, Zoloft, et al - classification of antidepressants, as

well as, all other antidepressants which target serotonin (either primarily or

secondarily) in the human brain. We are pursuing every course of action

available to demand accountability by the pharmaceutical firms of the world who

market these drugs and justice for those who have been victimized. This group

was setup by survivors, families and friends of people who have suffered as a

result of ingesting these drugs.

Sweeney revisits the Church of Scientology

http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/front_page/newsid_9032000/9032278.stm

In 2007, while investigating the Church of Scientology for Panorama,

reporter Sweeney had a dramatic on-camera confrontation with a church

spokesman named Tommy . The church was accusing the reporter of bias and

it attempted to stop the documentary from being broadcast - a campaign backed

by Scientology A-lister Travolta. Sweeney has returned to investigate

the church again.

Pushing Sweeney's 'bigot' button

I never meant to shout.

Strangers had been on my tail. Scientologist Tommy and his colleague

Mike Rinder - my handlers - had been on my case, day in and day out.

They had taken me to an exhibit called 'Psychiatry: Industry of Death' on

Hollywood Boulevard, where a Scientologist told me psychiatrists set up the

Holocaust. I feared I was being brain-washed.

And then I lost it - big time.

The Church of Scientology put out my impression of an exploding tomato

onto the internet which millions had a laugh at courtesy of YouTube.

It was no way for me to behave. I apologised then and I apologise now.

Shortly after that programme, Scientology & Me, aired in 2007, I

received a tip-off that Mike Rinder had left the church.

Three years on and my old adversary came to me to shed some light on what

had been going on behind the scenes in the days leading up to my infamous

meltdown and screaming session in Los Angeles.

Now an independent Scientologist, Mike is critical of the church and of

its leader Miscavige, who was actor Tom Cruise's best man at his

wedding to Holmes.

Mike, 55, wanted to meet and talk about his life in the church, which he

was a part of from the age of six.

'Freed'

He began by telling me about the moment when he decided to get out:

" I knew as I was walking out - that was the last time I would ever talk

to my wife, my children, the rest of my family. I couldn't take it anymore.

When I left I felt I had been freed. "

Panorama, BBC One

Secrets of Scientology

Tuesday, 9pm

Mike was subjected to what the church calls disconnection. His wife,

daughter, son, brother and mother have cut him out of their lives.

Mike was one of a number of people we met who effectively grew up in the

church and have since left.

Those who speak out say they can be deemed by the church to be enemies and

subjected to disconnection - when all ties to family and friends are severed.

The Panorama team were followed while filming in America

The church acknowledges some Scientologists choose to sever communications

with family members who leave. The church says it is a fundamental human

right to cease communication with someone. It adds disconnection is used

against expelled members and those who attack the church.

During our investigation in 2007, black SUVs with tinted windows appeared

to be following our team as we carried out interviews. A mystery man who we

suspected was from the church also appeared to be keeping tabs on us at

breakfast in our LA hotel each morning.

At the time, I put my suspicions of being under surveillance to Tommy

. He responded: " I don't know what you're talking about. It seems

to me you're getting a bit paranoid. "

Mike Rinder has since given me a different answer.

" Was I being paranoid? " I asked him when we met again.

" No, you were being followed. No doubt whatsoever, " he told me.

Mike said he should know as it was he and Tommy who were doing some

of the covert surveillance.

Mike said he and Tommy were reporting back on our movements to

Miscavige's office every few minutes or so.

Through its UK lawyers, the firm -Ruck, the church deny spying on us

and reject Mike Rinder's version of events dating back to 2007.

Celebrity members

The public face of the church is as a force for good, perhaps most

familiar to the public for its offers of free stress tests at its shopfront

centres in major cities.

Its star members include Tom Cruise, Travolta, Kirstie Alley and

tte .

When I interviewed Alley in 2007 and put the question to her that many

believe Scientology to be a sinister brain-washing cult, she replied:

" Would you ever sit with a Jew and tell them that their religion is a

cult? "

When I asked the same question of tte , star of the film Natural

Born Killers, she replied: " Some people say women are really stupid and

shouldn't have the vote. "

Panorama Archive: Scientology and Me

The church said it is a religion and is recognised as such in America for

tax purposes. It denies emphatically that it is a cult and has maintained

that I am biased.

Many ex-Scientologists disagree with the celebrities who defend the

church.

Amy Scobee, now in her mid-40s, is a former member who said she believes

it is " a dangerous cult " . She was a member from the age of 14, much

of her time in the church was spent as part of what is known as the Sea Org -

the highly-disciplined wing that effectively runs the church's day to day

operations.

Private details

When Ms Scobee left and began to criticise Miscavige and the church,

intimate details of her sex life before she was married leaked to the St

sburg Times in Florida newspaper.

The church admits sending the newspaper material about Ms Scobee's sex

life, but said it was acceptable because the information was contained in an

affidavit signed by her. They say it was not confidential.

Ms Scobee said she had disclosed those details but she believed they would

remain confidential.

During our time in America for the latest Panorama, we were once again

followed by people filming us, this time more openly than before. When we

approached the people with cameras to ask them who they were with and what

they were doing, they refused to answer our questions.

That is why I was somewhat grateful to Scientology's UK lawyers at

-Ruck when they sent the BBC photographs of me hugging Amy Scobee at

the end of a long and at times harrowing series of interviews about her

experiences.

The photographs were meant to demonstrate to my bosses at the BBC, once

again, that I must be biased against the church as I was overly familiar with

its critics.

This was, oddly enough, welcome proof that the people who had been

following and filming us in the States were indeed working for the Church of

Scientology. As Mike Rinder had said, I was not being paranoid - I was being

followed.
