Scourge of Scientology dies in apparent suicide
Shawn Lonsdale, whose one-man crusade against Scientology made him a public enemy of the church, was found dead at his home over the weekend in an apparent suicide. He was 39. There were no signs of foul play, and police found what appeared to be a suicide note. picked by 2manyusernames 7 months ago

It is my belief it was faked.
It is not that hard to fake a suicide, especially if you're a well know and well financed cult.

Woops, I mean church.

If they don't suspect foul play, they need to get a new police department, oh wait this happened in Florida! Nevermind, we are all lost.

Well that's creepy. Scientology is one scary religion to go up against.

Maybe he realised he was covered in bad Thetans, or whatever the hell it is the 'Tologists believe, and he realised that was the only way out.

Yeah, right.

Hey, don't bring Xenu into this. He's the good-guy here. (Xenu could be considered the Satan of Scientology, not the god.)

It seems odd to me that the way he chose to commit suicide was by pumping fumes into his house. The police say there was no foul play, but it seems pretty easy enough to me to shove a hose in a window.

I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, especially not knowing this guy, but it all seems pretty darn strange to me.


(maybe Tom sent the word to have him taken out)

No doubt that the cult killed him.

Its all "fair game" to them.

Suppressive Person or Group becomes fair game. By FAIR GAME is meant, may not be further protected by the codes and disciplines or the rights of a Scientologists"


According to L. Ron Hubbard, (The founder), scientologists can kill a suppressive person.

Its a really shady cult, and it needs to end.

While I would expect to find no unknown fingerprints on the hose, I bet the lack of HIS OWN fingerprints on the hose will be disturbing to some!!!

I'm very sad this man is dead. His work was worthwhile, kinda striking at the root. Very brave! He is my hero, and I pray his death is not in vain.
