    I once lived in a house owned by a Scientologist - they own it now. I used to get his Scientology mail. This is not a religion. It is a swindle, a scam, a fraud that seeks to suck all resources out of their victims. No real church charges money to see their "secrets".

    They promise one can "have cause over time and space", and travel the Universe at will (after a few hundred thousand dollars of "auditing"), but not one of them has succeeded in materializing for me, or showing me anything that has improved their lives, except for the far-away gaze and the internal (and silly) lingo.

    L. Ron, who said to friends that the real way to get rich was to start a religion, was dead for years before they had to eventually produce the body due to a suit by his son. All the time, he was allegedly hiding out, writing new sagas of supreme intelligence about Xenu, and his hydrogen bombs millions of years ago. What do you know, . . he apparently suddenly died after the court order, the death certificate was signed by a Scientology doctor with a lucrative part of the organization, and the body immediately cremated. What a coincidence!

    Where is the Department of Justice? Why aren't they using the RICO statutes to go after this menace? Have they been infiltrated, too, like the IRS?

    Scientology is bizarre.A long time ago,in the early 70's they used to recruit on the streets of New York.Encountering one of their recruiters on the street one evning I agreed to sit down for a brief "interview".It was pathetic.The questions were strange and I immediately picked up on the "cult" vibe.They were like robots.After I provided a few unsatisfactory answers they asked me to leave.New Yorksers have seen copies of "Dianetics" lying in the gutter for decades. They flooded this town with free copies and virtually no one wanted them.Those whacked out ides don't last five minutes on the streets of this city.L. Ron Hubbards "writing" is amatuerish and laughable.Childish really.It's a sad individual who becomes a Scientologist.They prey on people who are naive and have a very weak self image.The bizarre contraptions they use to "administer" to members are also laughable.This cult needs to be fully exposed.Folks need to know about the bizarre practices and influence of this atheist "church." I'd rater hang out with a junkie or crack addict than a Scientologist.They are creepy,pathetic and robotic individuals.

    I really don't have a dog in this fight. Personally, I think all Scientologists are weak-brained wack jobs who feel bent on proving that PT Barnum was understating the case when he said there was a sucker born every minute, but Anonymous' pseudo-guerrilla tactics make me think they spent far too much time watching bad movies while growing up.

    But, Chewyandbert, if they don't hide themselves with sunglasses and hats, they could be threatened or attacked as fair game, right?

    I really don't have a dog in this fight. I personally feel all Scientologists are bent on proving P.T. "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" Barnum was understating the case, but a guerrilla action against a bunch of weak-brained wack jobs who aren't hurting anyone but themselves is completely ridiculous.

    Scientologists, what do you have to say to that couple suing because the IRS gives tax benefits to members of your religion it may not give to other religions? That federal appeals court in CA didn't seem happy about it on Monday. There is an article about it in today's NY Sun.

    Anonymous and "Free Zone", that's something. So this is nothing like a big competition like McDonald's vs Burgerking?

    Scientology killed Lisa McPherson in Clearwater, Florida, on December 5, 1995. She was held against her will for 17 days, denied medical care, and forcibly sedated. When her guards tried to force her to undergo the Introspection Rundown and she refused, she was kept in an isolation lock-down until she died from severe dehydration.

    "Xenu according to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, was the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of his people 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. Members of the Church of Scientology widely deny or try to hide the Xenu story."

    L ron Hubbard is the best science fiction author ever, anmd his use of the mind is amazing.

    Comment: I guess Anonymous has proclaimed themselves judge, jury and executioner. Just what we need is another band of hooded vigilantes who spread propaganda and hate. Hiding behind computers, masks and sunglasses (as they suggest to their 'protesters')...they apparently cannot see that they are suppressing the free speech of the Church of Scientology by hacking into their ewebsite dndenyingpeople the right to think for themselves.

    Religion sucks period... Take them all out I say! Why can't we agree too be unknowing?

    I once lived in a house owned by a Scientologist, and got their internal mail. This is not even a cult - it is a swindle, a scam to bilk those who need to feel "special" out of their money and labor.

    Where is the US Department of Justice? Have they been infiltrated, too, like the IRS? It is time to use the RICO statutes to end this!

      Because it is against everything you think to be true? Knowledge is free. Ignorance is a choice. What side of the fence are YOU on?

  • Posted By: lubosir2 @ 02/08/2008 11:17:46 PM

    Oh I quite agree. Hubbard is the best science fiction writer I ever encountered and his grasp of the way of things is si remarkable that obviously he will nevre be replaced

    This is not a declaration of bigotry. This is an assault on the naivete of the public, the unwillingness to confront a murderous cult organization based on a pyramid scheme that has been responsible for the deaths of dozens. The beliefs in themselves are harmless, but the crimes committed in the name of them, the "Fair Game" policy and Operation Freak Out should have been enough to ward potential members away from the cult.

    If this "church" has tax free living, I am starting my own!
    GO to hell Cruise!
