It was a “religion” created by a sci fi writer on a BET.
Scientology has been “exposed literally thousands of time over the past 50 years as a sick, controlling cult. It is very popular among those in the entertainment business but I have never met anyone who belonged or did not know it was a weird cult.
I wonder why HBO finally got around to reporting on it.

Last time I looked Scientologists are cutting off female genitals and /or heads.
I am happy to see Scientologists get the bad publicity they deserve, but I am much more interested in seeing the ROP exposed for the Political/Religious monstrosity that it is.
Hard to imagine HBO reporting on Scientology especially when almost ALL their documentaries are leftist drivel.
Scientology is perfect for ‘celebrities ... some of the MOST arrogant, idiotic, shallow, superficial and intellectually blasé clowns on earth!
To their way of thinking, the Scientology scam IS religion. Pathetic.
Scientology compound, Clearwater, FL.
So is Islam yet we are suppose to give those deviants all the latitude they need.
..waiting on his space ship to return?
Scientology (it ain't a church) holds people in illegal private jails, threatens people into silence, takes over their entire financial life, keeps their careers perking as long as they toe the line, and does so for for decades -- what happened? Hollywood get sick of the competition? Or maybe it's the Scientology treatments for homosexuality that suddenly got the goat (so to speak) of the various pedophiles who run Hollywood?
My point: The bigger the following, the more MONEY at their disposal.
Nearly ALL organized religions, especially the BIG ones, have become politicized to one degree or another.
“Im going to be getting HBO direct on my Apple TV shortly ... “
I’d love to get HBO if it were the good old days, but I cannot support a channel that produces garbage like “Politically Incorrect” :-) . I also feel like I am the only person on the planet that doesn’t like Game of Thrones. Hopefully you’ll come to your senses after a month or two :-).
The Scientologists have done a pretty good job of scrubbing that event from history. Nobody actually knows if it happened.
We do know everything else they do, and thats enough.
It's hardly popular. It attracted a number of actors back in the 1960s and 1970s, a lot through the Beverly Hills Playhouse, where aspiring actors would be recommended for "Communications Classes." Most of the "name" actors date from those days, or are second generation. But I haven't heard of a prestigious recent convert in ages. I've met a few over the years and they are weird, weird people.
The best part of that South Park episode was when they flashed, “This is what scientologists actually believe” across the screen when they were explaining Lord Xenu. It’s one of their best episodes... Tom Cruise won’t come out of the closet!
You know what I just thinking I think Matt and Trey knew former scientlogist so they got idea from them that how they really took on Scientolgoy that episode
There is story on Roger Friedman column that Issac Hayes was force to quit South Park it really sad story

Wow. Is that a cross on the top of that tower?
