Sovereign Scientologists?

This is one of those articles that you think must be from the Onion, but it’s not.

“Sovereign citizens” are pretty dangerous I understand. Kind of like the Freemen-on-the-Land types, but with an extra dose of aggression mixed in with the lunacy.

Yes. Now combine that with a wealthy organization like the COS and you could have big trouble.

Seems kind of silly for a person who’s voluntarily surrendered himself over to a cult to then go around claiming his sovereignty.

Her sovereignty, but yeah.

Your body thetans are refused for cause without dishonor. Dianetics p. 566.

If you read the whole article, you see that it is hard to associate Scientology, for all its flaws, with the sovereign citizen movement. That, I think, has more to do with out-of-control cops and government agents then with Scientology. But I loved the photo at the end about “Making Mormons look sane since 1952”.

“Sovereign citizens” has more to do with out of control cops and government agents?

Well, maybe they believe so, but actually they have more to do with out of control nutcases.
