I wonder what the Zetas have to say about Scientology?

It sure is fun to read through the Xenu.net and 'Operation Clambake' pages for an insight into the absurdity of Scientology, but just be aware that even the testimonials from ex-members of this cult were written by utter loons as well.

Just because they're no longer involved with Scientology doesn't mean that they're still not stark raving mad. Anyone with a predisposition to join a particular type of cult remains that sort of moonbat their whole life through. Consider everything they say and do from that point forward in that light, and you'll be right on target.

Au contraire. Some have lead very good lives after leaving Scientology

Scientology has made a ghost town of downtown Clearwater, apart from some vitamin stores.

Report from Scientopolis

I for one am willing to suspend my disbelief and send them all my money. No way is this a hoax! I am now going to lie down.

Fantastic link. I was in downtown clearwater for a rally for the troops a couple of years ago. I remember it was such a ghost town, and wondered what happened to such a beautiful area. Do you understand the reason for the madness? Are the scientologists purposely driving people out?

I know they sue anyone in their way.

Thirty years ago I heard what was supposed to be the background story about how L. Ron Hubbard and a friend contrived what has become a new cult religion while drinking on his boat near Puerto Rico. L. was a so-so science fiction writer, certainly not in the realm of Asimov, Clark, or Herbert. What I heard was that as a cynical kind of joke, Hubbard and a friend contrived what amounted to a mockery of the Mormon-LDS faith, and Hubbard later systematized the premise of the psycho-religion in the book "Dianetics".

What resulted was what many other megalomaniacal false prophets have discovered in the intervening decades; that there is a great resource in controlling direction-less, spiritually lost, sheep-like people, to fit their own ends.

The same can be said for any number of other such cults; The "Moonies", Hari-Krishna, The Children of God, Synanon, etc. Remember the embarrassment that the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi people set themselves up for, when they promised to be able to teach meditators to "levitate"? The hoax was exposed as just a camera trick, showing frozen stills of people in the lotus position, seemingly floating as if levitated, but really hopping in place around an ashram. Could this be another, publicity seeking hoax?

Sounds like a new scientology pick up line. "Hey babe, you want to see my new "Super Power".

A group of Scientologists from Mexico plans a project that could bring hundreds of condos to prime downtown property bought last year for $9.8-million.

Just doing the jobs that American Scientologists won't do.

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard taught that people have 57 "perceptics" that include not only the five senses, but also an ability to discern relative sizes, blood circulation, balance, compass direction, temperature, gravity and an "awareness of importance, unimportance,” the St. Petersburg Times reports.

58 if you count the internal BS meter.....and mine is pegged!

Scientologists Ready for Super Power

From my point of view and first hand experience, it is all true.
I’ve been dealing with this school called Astoria from 1983 up until 2008.
And some of the cults crap that they do is hard to believe, like esp - astral projection - the voices and shadows and pain.
So yes, I believe what you are saying to be true Rebel.
