Anybody watch BBC's Panorama show on Scientology yet? Some of the best TV i've seen in ages.

Highly recommended for the reporter's loss of temper toward the end.

Here's something to whet your appetite in the meantime:

Holy xenu! Thank goodness the church has withdrawn its policy of fair game.

Facts:

We evolved from clams.

Human souls came to earth in spaceships that look like DC3 planes.

We spent 35 years strapped to volcanoes that did not exist when L Ron claim they did.

While strapped to those volcanoes, we watched films about Jesus.

Then we were all blown up by nuclear bombs.

To get rid of our problems, it will cost you $150,000. This money is spent holding a battery tester and being asked if you've engaged in homosexual behavior.

Scientology claims millions of followers but that I've never seen a single Dave's user pop up claiming to be one leads me to believe they seriously over estimate their church membership. Hell, we have a Krishna here. No operating thetans?

We didn't evolve from clams. It's more like how mitochondria were incorporated into our bodies, providing a mutualist relationship. Clams evolved into eyes, and we incorporated them into our bodies.

Scientology is crazy, but I think they've lost all their credibility and aren't as much of a problem anymore. I don't think fair game will ever go away, and they will always be digging into their opponents' lives looking for a dirty secret.

It's interesting that their religious practice consists of recording people hooked up to lie detector tests and asking them to relive traumatic memories and then use their imaginations. It wouldn't take much goading to bring out all sorts of sexual things in just about everyone. Just before the Tom Cruise gay rumours got really bad, he was considering leaving the church. I think they leaked bits of information to bully him into staying.

I'm in general ambivalent about religions, but I truly HATE Scientology. I hope they all get chucked into volcanoes and blown up with nuclear bombs.

I've met a Raellian (sp?). Is that close enough?

That guy from xenu TV is a wimp. Stand your ground and if any of them physically touch you, charge them with assault.

He should also charge them with slander for the crap they said about him.

But what he should have really done is when that horse faced moron got his face up to the cam, smash his camera in his face.

Scientologists have much better lawyers than average people.

South Park did a great episode on Scientology. The episode has been banned from rerun but is readily available online.

Scientology is one of the very few religions (if not the ONLY one) that has tax-exempt status protections as a church in the U.S. as well as economic protections as a corporate entity (i.e., copyright protections on all of L. Ron Hubbard's books, trademarks, logos, etc.) and as a result of these two very advantageous protections they could afford to be as litigous as they are. One of the most fascinating Scientologists I have read about was Barbara Schwarz, who has made a name for herself on both Wikipedia, Usenet as well as the Supreme Court. You can judge for yourself. Okay, I said too much; I'm gonna run and hide now. Byebye.

A former member believing herself to be the daughter of L.Ron and he in turn to be the son of Dwight Eisenhowe, believing that her husband is Church official Mark Rathbun who the government is hiding and that he was wrongly convicted for her murder. His current whereabouts are unknown and his name erased from Scientology history. She spins a good yarn does Babs, do click on the link to learn about her early life, this girl out wackos Scientology hands down.
