The new network premiered on Monday evening with four original programs and an hourlong launch special introduced by Church leader David Miscavige.

Scientology TV, a network dedicated to the religion, officially launched Monday evening at 5 p.m. PT with a message from Church leader David Miscavige, making a rare on-camera appearance.

"We're not here to preach to you, to convince you or to convert you," he said. "No, we simply want to show you, because after all, the first principle of Scientology is that it's only true if it is true to you. So, take a look and then decide for yourself."

I dunno - if I see Xenu pop up on the screen trying to sell me a Sham-Wow I’m gonna be a little suspicious that it really is all about the bucks.

Excellent! It's settled, then. Scientology is not true. Now I don't need to read/hear/watch anything else they write/say/broadcast.

How many people are being held against their wills by Scientology in places like their Hemet, CA facility, and why are not the local police and district attorney taking action. It is public knowledge spoken about on the Leah Remini TV shows and attested to by folks who were held against their wills. One has to ask just why Scientology was given IRS approval to be a tax exempt organization under the Clinton administration.

This is going to crash and burn phenomenally!
How many negative documentaries have been laid on Scientology doorsteps?

Lol. We don’t go into downtown Clearwater at all - it is so depressing. All you see are FLAG buses, people in their scientology uniforms, and empty real estate.

Frank Zappa warned us about the dangers of the Church Of Scientology...

No wait, that was the Church of Appliantology.

Never mind...

Scientology has proven very successful in its secret mission—to separate fools from their money.

“Okay. There are people who believe this idiocy?”
And we all know the special class of stupidity that composes the believers in this ...er...scam.
Of course, our certainty of the stupidity is also complimented when these ...er...people express their political opinions.
Without a script.

These are the GPS people, not the FSM people. The FSM people actually have a sense of humor about themselves.

(Apologies to the B-52s)

I am livin’ on Channel Xenu!

Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Xenu
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static filling my attic from Channel Xenu

I don’t know, I feel like something’s happening
Something good is happening
I feel love has got to come on, and I want it
Something big and lovely
I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Xenu
Living on the edge of Xenu

Space junk, laser bombs, ozone holes, better put up my umbrella!

Expect it to show their considerable work in the area of relieving human suffering by traveling to disaster spots around the world handing out ‘Dianetics’ books and taking photo ops with the victims. Saving the World!
