These are the people who need a Waco type visit.

Don't be fooled, L. Ron Hubbard is still alive.

[ModelBreaker]

It's the only religion with Klingons and Ferrignis (sp?). That should count for something.

As a proud member of the K.O.O.K.S. I must protest the improper usage of our organization's name.

K.O.O.K.S. = Keepers of Odd Knowledge Society (R)

L. Ron Hubbard was never shy about discussing his version of the history of Earth-a scenario that falls somewhere between Star Wars and Star Trek.

There's his problem right there. He couldn't seperate fact from fiction.

Star Trek is real, Star Wars is fake.

Best book ever written about LRH and $cientology - available online for free

"That should count for something."

Yeah, a straight jacket.

[Remember Ruby Ridge]

You are kidding, right?

...Scientology is but one voice in a vast and cacophonous kook opera.

[SauronOfMordor]

Yawn.

Ping me when a bunch of Scientologists hijack a plane into a building, set off any roadside bombs, or decapitate people who insult their religion. Until then, we have better things to keep track of

[Rocketman]

Interesting we have had a few article on FR that spoke of them sueing and having locked up their secret stuff.

Since hte 1980's they've been on a blitz to gain recongnition -- had a lot of stars speak out for them.

Things to think about -- things to see if we see it being imported into chruch denominations.

[HHFi]

They don't do those things to you for insulting their religion. They'll maybe just slander your reputation and make false IRS reports about you. If you want them to crash a plane into your house, try leaving the "church."

I once had a nodding acquaintance with a very prominent and highly-respected writer (now deceased) who knew Hubbard decades ago. This man, who was extremely thoughtful and cautious about his public statements, said that when he looked into Hubbard's eyes, he felt as if he were gazing into pure evil.

As requested: TimeCube.

Scientology has nothing on the Mormons and the Jehova's Witness. The Mormons do a much better job of keeping their secret doctrines secret but they are just as looney.

Scientologists con thousands out of all their earthly posessions on a regular basis but there are thousands of girls and women being held captive and enslaved at this very moment in Utah. They are traded away as 'wives' by their fathers at as early an age as twelve. The polygamous mormons trade their daughters away like cattle ... always with the goal of getting fresh new meat to carve.
