SCIENTOLOGY: NO RIGHTS, PLEASE

pagesix ^ | 09/04/03 | P6

TOM Cruise, John Travolta, Lisa Marie Presley, Kirstie Alley, Juliette Lewis and other Scientologists may have signed away many of the rights that most Americans take for granted. As they move up into the higher levels of the Church of Scientology, members sign documents giving up their right to psychiatric care and to see their families.

Not a church, dear -- a CULT.

Poor little calms. SNAP! SNAP!

All that I need to know is that Charles Manson reportedly tested "clear". I think that he swiped an E-meter and used to run it on people back at the ranch.

Nah, he'd just douse people with water and hook them up to a car battery. Granted, a little more crude, but with the same results.

[Elliott Jackalope]

It's not the dousing them with water, or the hooking them up to the battery that makes it a cult. It's where one applies the current that makes all the difference, and is the real art of it.

[Elliott Jackalope]

Not referring to any cult in particular, mind you. That kind of activity usually happens in orginizations with membership numbered in the single digits.

Funny, this forum is the polar opposite of conservative.

I'm 22 years old. I've been around the church my whole life and the only time I ever heard the word "Xenu" mentioned was on anti site propaganda. I don't know, or even care, where or why these rumors got started. The topic is dead to me and I'm not interested in it. I'm sorry that you believe whatever nonsense is fed to you.

I believe in the spirit of man and god.

But apparently, according to you, I've been misled and for all these years my parents and all my friends believe in and worship this tyrant from outer-space and they are waiting for a space ship to land and take us all to this happy world inside a giant clam where we will be safe from volcanoes...

Why didn't they tell me this???

[callmemrpurpose]

I forgot but thanks for reminding me.

Here's my proposal.

We're currently in a fight to the death against the forces of radical Islam. Problem is, our people in the West have gone soft: they are unable to muster sufficient aggression to counter the Islamokazes.

Scientologists, on the other hand, are anything but soft. Their founder was stark raving mad, just like the "Seal of the Prophets" his own self, and the membership will crawl over broken glass if so ordered by the "Church" elders.

Solution: form anti-Islamokaze shock troops from the ranks of Scientologists. These are absolutely ruthless people who stop at nothing.

The danger, of course, is that the new "Scientologist Shock Troops" will be too successful. If they vanquish and then convert the Muslims, it'll be L. Ron Hubbard on steroids!

You haven't paid enough money to be OT3 yet.

Why didn't they tell me this???

You haven't paid them enough money yet. I advise you to check out www.xenu.net. You can read it all for free there.

SCIENTOLOGY IS A WELL FUNDED CULT... NOTHING MORE.

[TomB]

Funny, this forum is the polar opposite of conservative.

Why? Becuase we don't believe a phony "religion" should be given tax exempt status?

The cult of scientology is diametrically opposed to freedom, and thus, conservatism.

I'm 22 years old. I've been around the church my whole life and the only time I ever heard the word "Xenu" mentioned was on anti site propaganda.

PLEASE don't start the "I don't know what you're talking about" crap. I won't work here. If xenu and the entire "body thetan" story wasn't true, why does scientology send their lawyers to attack anybody who puts those papers on the web?

. I don't know, or even care, where or why these rumors got started. The topic is dead to me and I'm not interested in it.

Ignorance IS bliss, isn't it?

I'm sorry that you believe whatever nonsense is fed to you.

Then prove me wrong. Tell me the SPECIFIC Scientologist Theology. You can't? Why? Because it isn't revealed to you until you pay.

Some religion.

I believe in the spirit of man and god.

God with a small "g". Very telling.

But apparently, according to you, I've been misled and for all these years my parents and all my friends believe in and worship this tyrant from outer-space and they are waiting for a space ship to land and take us all to this happy world inside a giant clam where we will be safe from volcanoes...

Yes, that is pretty much EXACTLY what it is.

Why didn't they tell me this???

Because they don't tell you until you've paid enough (are "cleared").

Considering your "e-meter" is absolutely nothing but a wheatstone bridge circuit used to measure resistance, what do you expect it can tell you?

I, for one, am quite interested in your experiences. What EXACTLY do you DO as a scientologist?

[GeekDejure]

"You mean they actually believe in this sh!t?"

Same sentiments uttered by Stalin.

Yup . . . here's one of my favorite JS quotes . . .

"Ideas are more powerful than guns. If we don't let our people have guns, why should we let them have ideas." --Josef Stalin

You can tell from that expression that the auditor could tell him he was a seven foot tall, 300 pound, black ballerina (um, male), and he'd easily believe it.

Did you check out his role in Battlefield Earth? :)

Wow! Talk about 'sublimninable'. ;-)

[Pan_Yans Wife]

inside a giant clam where we will be safe from volcanoes...

That isn't true. Hubbard said you EVOLVED from CLAMS.

Now, don't you find that assertion to be insulting?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Many thanks for the compliment! :)

[Hank Rearden]

Amazing. People too stupid to even be Mooslims. I didn't think it was possible.
