Scientology has a private police

smaller? Scientology has more followers then Judaism.

How on earth do you get this figure? According to this site, there are ~140,000 members in the Church of Scientology, worldwide.

The latest available data is from the World Jewish Population Survey of 2002 and the Jewish Year Calendar (2005). In 2002, according to the Jewish Population Survey, there were 13.3 million Jews around the world. The Jewish Year Calendar cites 14.6 million. Link

So, give or take a milligram or two, there are 100 times as many practitioners of Judaism than there are of Scientology.

I'll not enter into a religious debate because this is the wrong board.

and this site says the figure 8 is million.
what your point?

I have no idea what religious debate you refer to.

[Brian Ellis]

The point is you are mistaken if you think Judaism is smaller than Scientology, as you claimed. In any case, if you had followed the link I gave earlier, you would see that the oft-quoted 8 million figure is very imaginary. Every single independent inquiry has cited less than half-a-million, mostly less than 200,000.

The religious debate in which I refuse to participate starts with your Option one, to the end of that post.

Scientology IS bad m'kay.

That video is quite shocking...people have faith in the police, even if they have no faith in any religion. Police and religious characters side by side, receiving money from the same hand, is just WRONG.

If they [the police] do voluntary work for the church, they should not be paid. See how many do voluntary work after that...
If the police are volunteering to work for the Scientologists on their day off, they should not be wearing police uniforms, they are off duty, and do not represent any public duty forces.
