The more fantastic his religion/fiction got, the more committed his followers got.

That's what happened when some friends started
The Church of the Future. tm.
The next thing we knew, hordes of people were showing up
and they ALL wanted us to tell them what to believe.
The power was immense, once we wanted to rent a storefront
for the sidewalk ministry, but there was already a tenent
in the place, so in the news letter we asked all the congregation to get IN THE SHOWER and meditate on this
person moving out, the next thing we knew he was threatening
us with a lawsuit cause he'd been getting harrassing letters.

It's a good thing we're underground now, but we are just
waiting for the appointed moment to reveal our nonexistant
doctrine.

You too, can understand the meaning of , "a hand shake and a piece of the pie!".
Sacred wafers sold seperately.

The Church of the Future.tm.

Wasteing the Present,
Expounding on the Past,
INto the FUTURE!

Scientology always reminds me of the cult in the movie "Bowfinger" called MindHead. It's a riot.

You know nothing about Scientology if you think scientologists are as harmless as Buddhists.

Nothing whatsoever.

Having studied some Buddhist literature, known Buddhists, studied Vedic tesxts, known practicing Hindus very well, and known at least a number people who were almost destroyed by Scientology (and read quite a bit about it), I can assure you that you are dead wrong in your assessments.

First of all, Buddhism has 2600 years of tradition, Gautama Buddha was a real person who established a philosophy of non-violence, peacefulness, and meditation. Scientology, OTOH, is the brainchild of the crummy sci-fi writer L.Ron Hubbard who created Scientology as a scam, it continues as a scam, and unfortunately it has tax exempt status.

As a final note, ol' L.Ron's stated that his mentor was Alistair Crowley, a noted pedophile/homosexual Satan worshiping self acknowledged "black witch". Can't get much worse than that. Try googling him (I might have gotten his name spelled wrong).

Were "Operation Snow White" and the Lisa MacPherson episode rogue operations or were they the logical result of church policy letters?

I always thought "operation snow white" was an anti IRS vandalism job akin to a bunch frat guys breaking into the dean office.

If it was more then that, I don't know.

I remember reading some of them got convicted for stealing copy paper.

To be honest, I think the whole COS is a joke, its hard for me to take them seriously, I've met a couple of them, other then their need to get a life, they seemed harmless.

I've met a couple of them, they seem like guys who watched one to many episodes of star trek and star wars and think UFO's are the mother ship, its hard for me to really take these guys seriously.

The 2 guys I knew where sci-fi geeks who wanted to break in to the entertainment business, typical live in moms basement types, listening to them talk, makes it a little hard to believe these guys can do anything right.....it also explains the lack of a social life.

Haven't seen them in a couple of years though.

I can't aruge with that, but I just think these guys are a joke, not to be taken seriously.

You'll probably find more of these guys at a trekkie convention then you will at anything violent.

Its rather difficult for me to see some of these guys doing anything, considering that the highest levels of this "church" think the writer of that horrible book which should never have become a movie (battlefield earth?) is some kind of god.

Its like asking me to fear a cult that worships gerbils.

Sounds like their classes are basically like drugs. And they didn't even help her one bit.

I don't think you should underestimate Scientology, just because a couple of it's members or it's viewpoints look goofy. Appearances can well be VERY deceiving.

I don't know if Alester Crowley was really a Satanist. I heard that he really just created his own occult viewpoint by mixing various mystic philosophies of both Eastern and Western origin...such as kabbalah, Tantric, Buddhism, Hinduism, Order of the Golden Dawn, etc., and basically just put them in a blender and out came his worldview.

You got a point about not judgeing a book by its cover.

But from the folks I have met, but some of these guys get more emotional about whether or not Picard is better then Kirk on star trek.

The one thing that has always struck me about them, is the high number of sci-fi geeks they have, I don't know how or where they recruit, but they seem to endorse the nerd sterotype.

Or it could be the guys are losers and join hoping the church will get them a date.

Add booze, heroin and sodomy to the blender and you just about got it.

Probably both. But seriously, I doubt that all members of Scientology are like that.

True, I'll give you the guys who created south park, but I'm still sure its a bug chunk.

From what I've read about it, it seems more like a psychotherapy pyramid scheme. The religion stuff was thrown in as an afterthought to get tax-exempt status.

You spend thousands of dollars to be "cured" of your problems. When you have taken enough courses, you can then learn to "cure" others of their problems for a nice fee. Of course, only the top of the pyramid actually makes any money.
