scientology & celebrities

Scientology is just mostly common sense ppls.

Duh, if you don't b3l33v3 then you're just hung up on a failed R6 rundown.

Obama supporters have also manipulated Wikipedia. However, unlike Scientology, they are evenly distributed throughout the US. Anyone they don’t like, they ban. They are able to do this because there is a sadistic subculture in Wikipedia. Kids vote for each other to become “administrators” who can ban anyone and unbanning often only occurs if the original administrator agrees (Wikipedia policy). Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia. It is worse than twitter

whoa.

That is a pretty good letter.

I bet it would suck if Haggis adapted it into a movie, tho.

HA!

good to finally have a plausible explanation for all his success, though

THey scare the shit out of me.

i watched that Tommy Davis, cylon spokesman interview when i was at work and when it concluded with asking the viewers if they thought that Scientology should keep their tax exemption status as i stood up to out i calmly and gratefully said to the tee vee screen "thank you, Martin Bashir". lol.

Just read this today: http://www.tampabay.com/specials/2009/reports/project/

Wow. Apparently their leader has a Napolean complex.

Or Napoleon complex - whatever works ;)

It's a pretty revealing three part article from the St. Petersburg Times written back in June.

I wonder if Haggis has googled Xenu yet.

From his letter: To see you lie so easily, I am afraid I had to ask myself: what else are you lying about?

I totally feel that, it's a reason I left the Mormon church...so weird seeing your religion's leader saying something on the TV to cover PR that completely contradicts what you're told at church.

I think Scientology is like a blown up version what I dislike about religion. Pedantic self-righteous lying bastards. -> Oops, I guess I'm still pretty much an atheist despite mentioning on the Prayer thread that I mellowed when it came to religion. heehee

The T-shirt would read 'I spent 13 years talking about it and all I got was this $150,000 debt.'

Ding ding... Round Two

Watched that last night. Interesting that there's a "reformation" movement of scientologists who've left the official church but still believe in scientology as a religion, which I was completely unaware of before.

Did that image work?

First one was better though

hell yes nick b, thanks so much

Man this is an awesome doco.

wow, amazing how much healthier and happier Rinder looks now that he's out.

I didnt see the first doco, but those clips early on in this one with adherents all saying how good $ci is were creepy... the vacant, distant stare in their eyes. Reciting the lines like rote.

I just kept thinking of the Movementarians (even though Groening denies that was explicitly a dig at $cientology, but I dont buy it).

Couldn't get into the documentary. Sweeney seems to be on a mission to 'prove' they were after him. Their 'scientology methods' included calling him names and interrupting him? Is that it? The only disturbing information here is that the government give scientology tax breaks and the torys are harbouring a supporter in the ranks.

There was a bit much of the paranoid camera angles and over dramatic music, yeah. That did annoy me.

and his voice is so doomy and dramatic all the time!

I thought he spent too much time on how he personally was so persecuted and not enough time on the breakaway scientologists who still practised, the lives of the ex-scientologists - how you cope with leaving something like that is way more interesting to me than some english dude being aggrieved in stentorian tones.

I wish we could see all of the celebrity interviews. I probably could watch 10 hours of that.

The look on Leah Remini's face when he asks her about Xenu is so difficult to put into words.

All the slebs reactions made me want to puke. Kirsty Alley was defensive as fuck in a really ugly way. No wonder they denied it being on the doco.

I mean come on. "Would you say this to a JEW?!"

Well no, because uh.. COME ON.

I just kept thinking of the Movementarians (even though Groening denies that was explicitly a dig at $cientology, but I dont buy it).

Considering Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson, Nelson, and others) is a $cientologist, I tend to believe him. Sadly, that's one topic that's probably off-limits to the writers; they can ill afford to piss off one of the show's defining voices.

That did occur to me yeah.

[In portentous, dramatic voice] "Years ago ... we investigated ... this crazy cult ... and its crazy track record ... of craziness. They called me names. They even made me ... yell. Now, years later, we return, to see ... if anything ... has changed. And if ... it will happen ... again." [looks over shoulder] "But am I prepared ... emotionally ... physically ... for exactly what I expect will happen? There's only one way ... to find out" [picks up rock and throws it at hornet's nest/angry moose/sleeping lion/policeman's head]
