[font size=5]Sci-tology sifts Haggis trash[/font]
Oscar winner Paul Haggis says private detectives regularly sift through his trash almost a year after he publicly renounced his 34-year membership in the Church of Scientology.
Crash writer/director Haggis last year said he feared the church would take revenge on him for publicly speaking out against it, telling The New Yorker: My bet is that, within two years, youre going to read something about me in a scandal that looks like it has nothing to do with the church. ....
And while his ominous prediction has not yet happened, hes still wary. Theyre in it for the long haul, Haggis, making the rounds to raise awareness of his work in Haiti, told us of the Scientologists yesterday. But he added that hes moved on I am not on a crusade to discredit Scientology.
He said hes since had many former Scientologists thank him for speaking out. Ive had people who were in Sea Org [the churchs equivalent of a religious order] and major donors say, Thank you, Haggis told us. Or, I was a member of the church till they found out I was gay. Haggis reportedly resigned from the church, in part, for its stance on gay rights. ....

but it seems you can be as gay as Liberace, as long as the $$$ keep flowing into the "church".
