Scientology Jurisprudence: Commenters of the Week! - Village Voice (blog)4 February 2012, 8:04 amThe underground bunker might need some new paneling after the way we were bouncing off the walls this week. I mean seriously, how are we going to keep up with all of this Scientology news? It's like this is turning into a real job or something.
We started off the week with our regular feature, Sunday Funnies, and especially enjoyed the Sydney org's use of a Star Wars theme -- and we'll have more about that tomorrow!
Monday we had a lengthy story about the death of Ann Tidman -- better known to Scientologists as Annie Broeker, the woman who cared for L. Ron Hubbard in his final years. Tidman died last June of lung cancer, but only now are we finding out about it despite Scientology's attempt to keep it quiet.
That evening, we learned from a Tampa Bay Times story that Scientology had filed a lawsuit against Debbie Cook, the former church executive who shocked the world with a New Year's Eve e-mail daring to criticize the "extreme fundraising" under church leader David Miscavige. Scientology is retaliating by suing her for violating the terms of a draconian gag order she signed in 2007 while taking $50,000. This case looks to be a wild one.
