James Packer quits Scientology: reports
http://www.scopical.com.au/articles/News/5470/James-Packer-quits-Scie...
Billionaire media and gambling mogul James Packer has quit the Church
of Scientology, according to reports.
Mr Packer, who had been a member of the Church since being introduced
by friend Tom Cruise in 2002, is now said to be quietly slipping out
of the organisation, Fairfax Media reports.
It is believed years of negative publicity over allegations the
Church
is a cult and it's radical stance against psychiatry have driven Mr
Packer out.
It is also understood Mr Packer's pursuit of gambling assets has run
against the grain of the Church's stance on gaming.
"An obsessive gambler is a psychotic just like a drug addict or an
alcoholic," Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote.
Scientology, which pitches itself at "able" individuals, has faced
months of mounting criticism from pressure groups, including online
group Anonymous.
Thousands of activists are today also expected to gather around
Australia to protest Scientology.
Anonymous says the Australian protest will coincide with other
worldwide protests.
"The worldwide protest on May 10th will focus specifically on
Scientology's 'Fair Game Policy', which states that persons or
agencies that Scientology considers to be enemies may be: '=85deprived
of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any
discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or
destroyed.'," the group said in a statement yesterday.
Although the group has no real leader, it's organisation has seen
several high profile campaigns mounted in the United States, Europe
and Australia.
