That's a really boring video. it's kind of like one of the orientation videos they show at rip-off jobs like door-to-door knife salesman.

Scientology is a real religion -- why look at all of these court cases that say it is! What a creepy thing to put in you video. i think most religions would avoid showing off how often they have been in court.

And all that talk about trademarks,legally seperate entities, professional development....

It's not even a cult. The bare lie shines through. it's a business.

Among other things, Hubbard was a disciple of Aleister Crowley.

Sheer pseudo-religion.

The Scientologists are great eh! It's a pretty interesting religion. I think it's designed for geeks, what with all the different 'levels' you can attain and new secrets you learn as you move up the chain.

When I was in LA the highlight of my time there was a (non-intentional) Scientology day I spent. In the morning I was walking around Hollywood and saw a sign for a free psychology museum. That sounded interesting. I went in and it was all anti-psychology, which I thought was a bit odd. At the end of the tour there were some scientologist recruiters who gave me and my friend a free ticket to the L. Ron Hubbard life exhibition, which was happily just down the road.

The tour of the Hubbard life exhibition was faaantastic. It was like a real life version of that video. Kinda interesting, kinda creepy, full of exagerations and rubbish (was Hubbard really a professional in 28 fields? I don't think so..) A thoroughly entertaining day. Unfortunately my tour ENDED in the book store instead of it being the second stop (different logic to that in the video I guess). Anyway I think the cheapest book they had was like $15.

I don't trust any religion that doesn't give me free books. The Christians, the Mormons, the Muslims.. they'll all give you a free copy of their bible. Not the Scientologists. You gotta pay for that shit.

I rounded off my Scientology day when I saw a sign saying "Free IQ test".. went in.. and sure enough it was another Scientology joint. I took the test. The conclusion was that.... I needed to become a Scientologist =) Awesome. I didn't become one though because they wanted to send me on expensive courses. I might infiltrate them one day though.. I bet that not only can I get 'clear' before you, I can also get to super-secret level 30 before you too. And meet the Alien captain.

They forgot to mention in the video that an abbreviated "Dianetics" was first published in Astounding Science Fiction. I think Hubbard is pretty awesome to be able to pull off founding a succesful religion after (1) betting that he can do it and (2) publishing his basic religious tract in a pulp sci-fi mag before trying to sell it to the people. Clever guy.

12.5 hours of intensives?! (minute 18:25) Gitmo has been trumped!

Hey, isnt' the "Paster" an actor? It seems as though I've seen him in some B movies...(minute 24:09)

What? She'd be dead without Scientology? I figured it was Jenny who saved her.

The closing of that video is.....wow.



!Shoosh,

Has there ever been a scientologist on Dave's? I know we've had a couple multi-level marketing types and that's pretty darn close.

Some of those linked vids are quite dark and revealing. The thing about taking over the city of Clearwater was pretty messed up. I wonder what the state of the play is right now...

Some people are so lost and lonely I guess they'll join anything to belong and find meaning in this cruel world. Isn't it nice too to be one of few who really knows what's going on? I know something you don't -- kids love games involving that.

Back in Austin, TX there's a big church of scientology. The people who work there are pretty dark indiviuals. You can tell they've been through it. If they're not dead in a knife fight or sucking the high hard one in prison, i guess scientology is working for them.

All religions are crutches. Some are more ... costly.

Kurt Russell is a professional in 38 different fields, including alien and demon fighting (see The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China) but he didn't feel the need to make up a pseudo-faith and overcharge for it.

I say Russellism is the way to go.
