Interesting news item on Scientology, which I thought I'd post seeing as there are adverts for it all over this site!

It's a complete money-making scam, basically. The only difference is that it calls itself a religion and courts the favour of gullible/vulnerable/insane celebs to give itself a veneer of respectability.

I am shocked and stunned the Chef from Southpark and his chocolate salty balls was a Scientologist... mm

Oh yeah!
My South Park-obsessed friend at work tells me that Isaac Hayes left the show because they ran an episode slagging off scientology. After that, they ran an episode where Chef turns out to be a child molester (dubbing Chef's voice using samples of his previous work)!-

They give me the creeps.
Many years ago I was stopped by Scientologists in Stockholm to do a personality test & stupidly gave them my address. I did not give them any money but they kept sending me letters. I moved three times and each time they found my new address. I take some consolation in knowing that they wasted funds on postage and paper as their letters went straight into the bin,
Their ads and methods are really annoying

Never liked John Travolta either

Probably because they are so stubborn and thick skinned and becuase the Swedish post office at that time was helpful. I doubt if it would happen now- this was in the late 70s .

They are creepy I remember them hanging out down the Kings Road trying to lure us in to have personality tests back in the 70s, I am surprised they haven't changed their technique.

Would you trust a "religion" whose name was tautological ? (OK, don't answer that !)
And what about these aliens, eh ? 'Thetans', or something (more half-remembered Greek vocab there, btw. I bet L. Ron failed his Classics exam.)
Sorry 'bout all the (brackets)-

You're right, it is a tautology! Never thought about that.
Scientology only started declaring itself a religion to escape fraud proceedings in the US. Prior to that it called itself a philosophy. -
Scientology is madder than someone WhO bLoGs LiKe ThIs AlL tHe TiMe.
That is all.
