scientology & celebrities

not cool, joke-man. very disrespectful.

james franco?

I am almost done I think? if true, the stuff TC has been privy to is like whoah

elisabeth moss ;_;

We are almost at the ocean when I bring up Scientology, the church Moss was raised in. Her affiliation with the church remains the strange, odd fact of her biography, the thing that does not belong in her regular-chick story. “I’m not going to talk about it anymore,” she says firmly. “I said what it meant to me, and anyone can go and look at that if they want to know what I feel. But now it’s private, off limits.”
She has previously spoken about how the church is personally helpful to her, not anti-gay, and “grossly misunderstood by the media.” But Moss does not talk about Scientology even with friends and seems very comfortable with how uncomfortable it makes other people. “I would feel the same way, honestly,” she says. “I think if there was something that I didn’t know and didn’t understand, I would probably feel as opinionated. You know how you’re opinionated about when someone breaks up? Celebrities break up and you just feel like you know what happened?”

I always wondered how many Scientology jokes the Simpsons writers have had to throw away/suppress.

The Joy of Sect episode had some pretty thinly-veiled digs, and the Leader of the Movementarians looked a lot like LRH:

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that one. Guess those digs didn't appear on Cartwright's radar.

GATII success stories!

that video was absolutely insane. Every time I try to read even the tiniest bit about scientology I feel like I'm down the rabbit hole with no way back except to shake it off and ignore it. so weird

This is something that I never even thought was possible. The amount of in-PTness I feel and how myself I am. Honestly, I had no idea that Objective processes could do this to a person.

And the C/S gives you a new process, it's like opening up a present. You're like "Oh my god! I'm gonna run that? This is awesome!"

Are your needles floating or are you just happy to see me?

Yeah, the floating arm thing caught me off guard. I was like "how did they bring whammy bars into this?"

What's insane is Lawrence Wright's book. Tom Cruise should be committed.

I take a little credit for spreading that latest video, first thanks to a Maria Bustillos RT and then another one later from Aaron Stewart-Ahn that was picked up by William Gibson. THAT was a hell of a lot of notifications to wake up to.

And yes re: what Alfred said. I remember reading obsessively about L Ron and his weird ways in high school and college and it's no less comforting to see how Miscavige just took it further.

I finished the Wright book about a week ago. Part of me thought it would be funny in a black/bleak sort of way, but it was terrifying and depressing.

it's like i should be wearing a seat belt in my pc chair

need a gif of 7:18-7:21

If I ever found myself excitedly uttering a sentence beginning, "When she opened the indoctrination booklet . . ." I would step back and take a good hard look at my life. Guess that's why I'm only OT III. :(

xp: was gonna say "Karl Malone to thread - stat"

"When I woke up to those many RTs, I was instantly blown away! I mean I expected a few MTs and H/Ts but this put me on a clear path to the Bridge."

agh, who is that?

random scientologist, or perhaps an actor

Looks like a hybrid of Famke Jannsen and Michele Bachmann.

Gotta admit I would be tempted to wear one of those badges, but I imagine it's like 12" by 8" and weighs about 6 pounds.

Are there any scientologists in congress?

not now, but Sonny Bono was one.

More stills or animated gifs from this video please.

If I ever found myself excitedly uttering a sentence beginning, "When she opened the indoctrination booklet . . ."

Haha yes thats the bit that leapt out at me (which, among that thrashing tadpole pond of crazy was pretty hard to do). You're pleased to be reading an INDOCTRINATION BOOK?

Also they all seem hopped up on goofballs. Are they maybe actors?

is this "vaporwave"?

I would really like to know what jobs these people have

I don't get it. Is that video for real?

yes

Haha funny you say that crut, I was playing it the other night and without seeing the video, Nick said aloud "are you watching Tim and Eric or something?"

Tim & Eric is exactly what I thought it was.

The bizarre jingoistic language is what throws me, and they all seem to use it heavily (cf that Cruise vid with the mission impossible music on a loop). Its like, corporate buzzword bingo but its own alien version. Grades? Bridges? Beingness of cause? Service facsimiles? WAT?

slam dunk doing the lord's work itt.

i found my soulmate he is the beingness is restored guy

your soulmate is terrifying

Thought about making one of those my FB cover pic but I don't want to be kidnapped and murdered just yet.

The music is awesome

the language of scientology is one of my favorite things about it
it's top notch word salad

That's Numberwang
