South Park declares war on Scientology

Globe and Mail ^

[Servant of the 9]

Good luck fighting Scientology. It has a boatload of lawyers who will issue lawsuits like PEZ candies to muzzle any negative comments about them.

As long as this kind of thing can scamper around the internet like Paris Hilton's sex tape, Scientology is outflanked.

Scientology has just never had an oponent willing to fight them and force themn into serious depositions and discovery.

Nice tagline...

Forget the lawyers. I hear rattle snakes in mailboxes works well.

I know someone who got out of Scientology years ago and was declared a "suppressive personality" by them. Any Scientologist who was supposedly her friend shunned her. Scientologists would come to her door and intimidate her. It was ugly. She had to go through therapy to get through it. She said it is a cult. They drain your money, and as you get to higher levels, they slowly get you to believe more and more nutty things. Their "auditing" is like a confessional, but they record it. So when you try to leave, they use what you told them in private against you. Knowing what I know from her, I would never, ever join them.

KRYTEN: I beg you to reconsider, Sir. Human history is resplendent with
examples of such sacrifice. Remember Captain Oates: "I'm going out
for a walk. I may be some time."
RIMMER: Yes, but the thing is, about Captain Oates; the thing you have to
remember about Captain Oates; Captain Oates ... Captain Oates was a
prat. If that'd been me, I'd've stayed in the tent, whacked Scott over
the head with a frozen husky, and then eaten him.
LISTER: You would too, wouldn't you?
RIMMER: History, Lister, is written by the winners. How do we know that
Oates went out for this legendary walk? From the only surviving
document: Scott's diary. And he's hardly likely to have written down,
"February the First, bludgeoned Oates to death while he slept, then
scoffed him along with the last packet of instant mash." How's that
going to look when he gets rescued, eh? No, much better to say, "Oates
made the supreme sacrifice," while you're dabbing up his gravy with the
last piece of crusty bread.

My experience wasn't anywhere near as bad.

[blackbart.223]

Do you have some issue I'm not aware of.

[Rockitz]

I learned all I needed to know about Scientology in that episode. What a wacked out religion! That L. Ron was quite the scam artist.

My experience wasn't anywhere near as bad.

She was also married to a Scientologist, which made things harder. She said he would go into trances at home. The marriage dissolved when he chose Scientology over her.

There's more, but I don't want some lurking Scientologist to be able to identify her.

The marriage dissolved when he chose Scientology over her.

Yeah. That's not that uncommon a story.

It's hard on everyone involved.
