Scientology

Well. . .

Well it was a written response, saying that they would not be able to comment on Jenna Miscavige Hill, because that would not be appropriate.

   He is as crazy as a bed bug, and full of shit too.

Mixey! You wrote this, and I do agree, big time:

"Communication is key to moving forward in a positive way in any endeavor. As soon as a willingness to see another viewpoint is blocked, then I don't think that's helpful in any way, regardless of the topic."

YUP...that proprietary thing... the "zip, ban, mute, delete everybody who is not with us, because WE are the chosen ones" THING, is a BIG PROBLEM with many religions, philosophies, groups, governments... and even software platforms! (As we know well, it becomes a twisted Control Freak on a Power Trip thing. Not good.)

Toad, on the Tom Cruise thing:

Yes, he seems crazy as a maxed out freakin' lune!
Here's another twisted thought to ponder..

Is he behaving like someone who's being blackmailed?

Watch him again with that in mind...
Like he's one of those hostages being held by an unfriendly government or something...
being brainwashed or flat out hypontized and submitting to his captors wishes to say anything they want him to say or do, so that threats will remain threats. For example, If this organization might be that twisted in a Control Freak/ Power Trip thing behind closed doors... then one might wonder... What do they have on him?

From what I've read, it seems that in their "auditing" process ... You pretty much dump all the skeletons in your closets to them, to get everything out on the table. Ok, so that makes sense.
While they attempt to help you resolve your issues, they also record everything, and keep those records (in your own words) locked away in their vaults.

Sounds like a perfect set up for blackmail, bribery $$$, or control freak stuff down the road if disagreement meltdown takes place, or if it should fall into devious hands.

Follow the money? Well there is an awful lot of money involved here.

Clearly, if TC is just simply crazy, then the story ends there, and he needs help.
But if not, then wow, there is some really strange shit going on here.

The notes on The notes on YouTube More Info on this film says the following:


"If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion", a quote of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the scifi Scientology cult.

Despite legal threats and harassment from Scientology, Channel 4 refused to pull this film, insisting it was based on factual material and interviews with people who had known Mr. Hubbard very well.

To followers, Lafayette Ron Hubbard was the greatest guru who ever lived. To many others he was a crook and a charlatan.

The 'church' is based on the story of Xenu, the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of aliens to Earth in DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs. Scientology holds that their essences remained, and that they form around people in modern times, causing them spiritual harm.

Hubbard was investigated by all kinds of agencies, including the FBI, accused of adopting a religious façade for Scientology to allow the organization to maintain tax-exempt status and to avoid prosecution for false medical claims.

There have been numerous accounts from Hubbard's fellow science-fiction authors and researchers, notably Harlan Ellison, Neison Himmel, Sam Merwin, Sam Moskowitz, Theodore Sturgeon, Lloyd Arthur Eshbach, and Lyle Stuart, of Hubbard stating on various occasions that the way to get rich was to start a religion.

Scientology's efforts to have the program canceled were extensive. A private investigator was sent to England from the United States to question friends of the reporters who produced the documentary. The PI, Eugene Ingram, is a wanted man in the United States, where warrants for his arrest are in place.

In fact, everybody who tries to find out what's going on, is intimidated and harassed by the cult. BBC reporter John Sweeney discovered this when he was making his documentary "Scientology and Me". Sweeney: "While making our BBC Panorama film I have been shouted at, spied on, had my hotel invaded at midnight, denounced as a "bigot" by star Scientologists and been chased round the streets of Los Angeles by sinister strangers.

Channel 4, 1997, UK.





So much for Follow the Money...!
AND So... was he a genius philosopher with a brilliant plan for humankind, or a ruthless hypnotist scammer abuser that needed serious mental help?
Jeez!

It's only an opinion, but it's mine. I can tell you that Scientology is crap. It is perpetuated by highly susceptible and ultimately brainwashed people who have bought into the package entirely.

Contained within every convincing lie, is a thread of truth. 

Toad, you're just pissed because YOU didn't think up a great concept for a church! Just think of the money you could have made from all the lost, confused souls out there ...   Ah well ...

LOL
