Guest 8 my apologies. But provide a list of any established religion and I will be more than happy to ridicule them with relish as well. I have to admit, I don’t have too much negative to say about the Buddhist. But I'll leave that to Chicago’s own "good Christian" Rev., State Senator, Dr. Meeks( with 25,000. followers) who was kind enough to include a Buddhist Monk last year in his Church’s Haunted Halloween Hell House's mock hell next to “homos” a women who had abortion, her doctor, etc

Yet another demonstration of what happens when adhering to scientology's "what is true for you is true for you as you observe it" when justifying "for the greatest good across the greater number of dynamics". This Dentist was never afraid to "hurt someone in a just cause" with his "handling the truth is a touchy subject, tell an "acceptable truth"" I see the comment from spook ridiculing Mormons, well, what was the religion of the perpetrators of the largest ponzi fraud scheme in US history? Or how about the 'religion' of those who perpetrated the largest infiltration into government offices in the late 1970's? What is truly sad is, this Dentist obviously doesnt know his founder of his religion was racist that maligned all races that weren't white/anglo. It is a shame that what is now coming to light isnt new and many people knew about this Dentist's actions and were helpless until now. Wasnt it very recently that a scientologist Dentist was caught out having untrained staff administer anesthetic to patients and was fined and put on Probation? http://www.dnronline.com/news_details.php?AID=12103&CHID=1

Scientology sounds like it has a lot in common with the Moron,I mean Mormon Church, he he But I would have thought a dentist or doctor with a gold chain would have indicated Moron Creep from the get go

I am surprised this headline isn't more snappy or witty. Unless I am missing something.

I am a former employee of Dr. Orrington, and yes it IS a shame that this case is just being filed. During the time I worked there, I just didn't think that anyone would believe me. I was a young single parent that needed a job, and he ACTED as if he wanted to help, little did I know the help he wanted to give was unwanted. He propositioned me in his office one evening after about 6 weeks of working for him. I told another assistant and she said "you better take that money, girl, he likes you!" It's very hard working in a place where everything is onesided. At that time, he was sleeping with two of the assistants! I was always made aware that regardless of what I would say, no matter how true, that no one would agree. Not even his wife! She was working for him and saw everything, the flirting, the playing around, fathering of other children and so on... and said nothing. I stayed there a total of 3 months and it was hard because no one refuses Dr. Orrington. I applaud the young ladies that had the courage to step forward because it is hard trying to convince people of the truth.

In the early 1990s, I worked for the EEOC. In my office, there were 10 investigators (I was 1) and we had a backlog of cases of 2 years because EVERY SINGLE complaint that was filed (no matter how crazy and believe me, there were some crazy ass complaints). Contrary to popular belief, anyone can file a complaint of employment discrimation at anytime and for any reason. That doesn't mean that the complaint has any legs, but it does mean that under the law, the EEOC has to investigate. The result is that people who are pissed at their bosses or a coworker file totally insane complaints because they are pissed about something. And as long as a complaint is filed timely with the EEOC, it doesn't matter how long it takes to wind through the EEOC process. The reason we had such a backlog was because the Americans with Disabilities Act had recently gone into effect as an unfunded mandate. In other words, it was now the law of the land and we had to investigate all potential ADA employment discrimination cases (and there were gazillions) with no additional staffing or funds. They had a hiring freeze for years. I'm sure the situation isn't much better today. That said, that job was the most rewarding position I've ever had. What I found most of the time was that employers are smart. They know exactly where the line is between illegal and legal and they know exactly how to go right up against that line but stay just on the legal side of it. A boss can be a jerk to work for and scream and yell or make your life hell, but pretty much as long as he's the same degree of a jackass to everyone, it's not illegal. That said, I saw some outrageous things and have some completely insane stories from my days at the EEOC, but this dentist totally takes the cake.
