In some circumstances, disconnection has ended marriages and separated children from their parents. The Church of Scientology has repeatedly denied that such a policy exists, though as of February 2012 its website acknowledged the practice and described it as a human right. In the United States, the Church has tried to argue in court that disconnection is a constitutionally protected religious practice. However, this argument was rejected because the pressure put on in

  • La disconnessione, nell'accezione usata in Scientology, descrive la rottura di ogni legame e rapporto tra lo scientologist e un amico, un collega o propri familiari ritenuti antagonisti di Scientology. Tra gli scientologist si afferma che tale pratica, e quindi la spinta a rompere ogni rapporto con i propri cari, è determinata dalla necessità di rimuovere ogni ostacolo alla propria crescita spirituale. La pratica della disconnessione è tuttavia oggetto di controversia laddove essa ha causato la fine di matrimoni e ha comportato la separazione dei figli dai genitori. (it)
