Kill with a thought? Where do I sign up?

[Paradox]

It’s SO creepy.

Indeed. I had a run in, online actually, on a Bulletin Board system about 20 years ago. This Scientologist troll engaged me in a debate over some issue. He got stranger and stranger, more out there, and then he changed, and began subtly threatening me and my family, at which point I got very scared. I was not sure what he was capable of, and when I did some research on Scientology, I got even more creeped.

As we were all using handles back then, he did not know me from Adam. He kept requesting my personal info, and I kept declining the invitation, but he seemed to make some headway about where about I lived. I was quite scared at this time, so I took preemptive action.

By analyzing the info buried in many of his long screeds, and doing some cross referencing in the phone book, I was able to figure out who he was. I told him, publicly, that he had to stop harassing me, else be exposed. He called my "bluff", I sent him a private message with his name and phone number.

Never heard from that guy again. Turns out he was a notorious, if not infamous Scientologist, who made something of a (bad) name for himself on the early nets, back in the day.

Creepy and scary guy.

Scientology and Terri Schiavo, Is there a Connection?

Yes. And if you really believe that she is a spiritual being trapped in a broken body, and will be able to 'pick up' a healthy body if only she is freed from the broken one, you'd pretty much have to conclude that freeing her is the best course.

I've never said scn wasn't dangerous...

The Church would not even give Alexander any charity Chaplain auditing. It did not matter that Alexander's parents had served more than fifty years in the Sea Org. There is no compassion or mercy in the Church in present time.

Nuts was 20 years ago... seems they've gotten worse...

From your link:

Scientologists who have acquired enough demons to achieve the level of Operating Thetan VIII also claim to have the ability to "kill with a thought"

This is precisely the opposite of what OT levels do, they remove attached entities from the person and his body.

The processes I'm familiar with are more like an exorcism writ large.

I'm not saying that the resulting vacuum isn't a magnet for other demons...

Charles Manson “likes” this.

*ahem* Actually, I've heard rumors that ol' Charlie did spend some time in the church...

I am proud to say my husband and I are on the scientology enemies list.

Nuts was 20 years ago... seems they've gotten worse...

Yep. And they never let go, they recently managed to track me down to tell me how truly wonderful everything is now and to invite me back.

I told 'em no thanks...

I was banned from digg.
I have not been banned from DU but they delete everything I post, so I might as well have been.

[svcw]

;-)

I don’t have a good answer for that. It would be a bit like Bruno challenging the Catholic Church.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Did you ever achieve ‘Clear’?

[Cyman]

I love short emails.

[null and void]

I haven’t posted anything to DU in several years. I signed on under this screen name, made no secret of my FR affiliation.

Not only didn’t I get banned, they seemed to like me.

Huh?

[null and void]

Yes.

[svcw]

Ok, that made me giggle. It’s weird. Maybe you are just so reasonable, they couldn’t figure out how to get rid of you. ;-)
