This is terrible, Scientology is not a church and shouldn't be labeled as such, it is a classic cult.

Here's the video of a young lady that was enprisoned on the Freewind Scientology ship

This not the first story about this cult. Here in Europe people are warned fore them. About freewind there are more video's about that ship and removing asbestos by members without protection.

The "religious" affiliation aside, I still like to try to stay abreast of the ship's status...and to that end, I found this video online. It shows some good shots for the ship's refurbished interior.

beautiful interiors...more like a private yacht, but it definitely shows they have the money to pour into this ship. hopefully one day it will be sold to a cruise line and we can experience the ex: Boheme again, but with this well designed interior minus a few rooms.

I am sure that The Peace Boat would love to get their HANDS ON THIS SHIP. If they find a problem, they'll simply dump her to the scrappers like they did to the SS Oceanic.
