All these above comments are quite funny, though some are mere insults and denote no tolerance by mainly a Christian and Conservative and Mannerly group of folks.
I have followed this website and the news and comments for years and only the last few months decided to log in and comment. I have followed various issues from the news and topics such as my Religion - Scientology.
I respect others beliefs and Religion and feel that this is just the right thing to do. Freedom of speech though is not something I wish to have hindered, so all of you who bash my Religion, just realize that intolerance of other's beliefs and practices of a Religious nature has an impact upon one doing this. It is not that anyone will be after you about it, for you have freedom of speech, but that maybe you will just find that you have done to another an unkind thing. This alone will have enough of an impact upon you. Next time when you profess your Religious belief or try and talk to another to help them find a better road to take and offer up your beliefs don't be suprised if you have problems with this, for you have started the chain of events going by in-tolerance of another's position.
Super Power will be released and many persons will partake in it and it will help our society. This is my belief, and after I do it, I will then know and not have a belief about it, for there will be certainty there to replace the belief. Alot has gone into this project as far as time and funding and sweat. There are many now studying to learn it well so as to deliver it to the Public, so that they may achieve more Spriitual ability and raise their responsibility in their own lives.
Perhaps those reading this, the small amount of folks who take the time to read these comments, these persons should know that there is something valid about a person's belief and practice of their religion and it is a personal thing and it is best not to bash it, or make nothing of it. For what is being done here is that you are in effect saying that this person is a fool, or worse. It borders on a personal attack, of which this comment section does not permit, and really makes Free Republic look bad and makes it look like a collection of fools itself, which it is not.
I have served this country in the USN. My Family has service in the Military also. I am Republican and Patriotic and love this Country, but I also have a different Religion than most of you. Won't you please be kind enough to grant me too some kindness and stop with bashing?
Thanks for your time.
The problem with Tom is that he has acted so bizarre, that of course his little joke was taken as fact. Yeeesh! Thanks for the links.
So that where these guys got their powers.
Sort of like Brooklyn Heights and the Jehovah's Witnesses..
Scientology was invented so the Jehovah's Witnesses would have someone to laugh at.
I think that the E-meter is a gauge of whether or not you're stupid enough to fall for the more expensive stuff. Once they've got you thinking that someone can learn something significant about you while you're gripping tin cans, it's like taking candy from a baby.
What little joke?
Eating the afterbirth. He said later it was a joke. Maybe he really wasn't joking, but blew it off when he saw people's faces? Like I said, he's bizarre enough to do anything these days.
What's the big deal?
I think the key phrase is, "he later said it was a joke".
Thanks for your service. Welcome aboard.
I once stayed underwater too long and hallucinated that I could breathe it. Lack of oxygen to the brain does weird things.
This explains many things. :-)
Yes, that's what I was getting at. His handlers probably had a cow. I don't think he's going to be doing too many more movies, unless he finances them himself.
That's got to be the most uninformed, idiotic post I've ever seen. Scientology makes fun of South Park all the time. Scientology is an equal opportunity cult - they make fun of all cartoons equally.
I can't understand why someone who's never been a Scientologist constantly comes on Scientology threads bashing Scientology. If you don't get cult satire, just don't sign over all your worldly possessions to them.
The 1982 edition of the Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary defines "Super Power" as: "A super fantastic, but confidential series of rundowns that can be done on anybody whether Dn Clear or not that puts the person into fantastic shape unleashing Super Power of a thetan. This means that puts Scientologists into a new realm of ability enabling them to create a new world. It puts world Clearing within reach of the future. This is a parallel rundown to Power in Saint Hill's which is taken by the Dn Clear. It consists of 12 separate high power rundowns which are brand new and enter realms of the tech never before approached. Power is still very much in use on the Grade Chart but is for those who didn't go Clear on Dn." [4]
What do you see as bashing?
I thought they all had handlers. Katie's was fired and replaced by a drone.
Good point though. They would have never let him make an ass out of himself on those tv shows.
