Had a quick browse of their official website, no matches for a search on Korea....If they aren't here yet, I'm sure they soon will be,

I just emailed them - I'll let you know...
I love emailing cults

Porridge, at the forefront of the anti-cult campaign!

I reckon these guys are pretty shifty too. I don't care who's a part of it. :)

Scientology reminds me of what P.T. Barnum once said:

"There's a sucker born every minute"

LOL, yep...they're called TESOLers!


Don't the scientologists wear purple Nikes and purple capes? No wait, that was the suicide comet-riding cult....

shoosh,

I have no idea what you are talking about Cool
Seems they aren't here yet, but my God when they do come they'll make an absolute killing!!
Anyone interested in starting a Scientology franchise in Seoul??

Here's an email from a scientologist named Real Laplaine
I just emailed him and asked: "Is Real your real name?"

Unfortunately not yet. Closest to you is in Japan.

If travelling there is unworkable, you might consider picking up some basic
books or a book package and studying up on Scientology until you can get to a
center. Let me know what you're interested in doing.

Capt Porridge:

If you haven't encountered this guy already, I think you would find his work very interesting.

Has anyone hear of the Ralians - thier compund - UFO land or some wack place like that - was right near my Uni in quebec.

Scientology is hilarious - check out clambake. Anyone from from Tampa where the big compound is or have stories of people being sucked in?

Did anyone see the John Trivolta movie that was a big scientology advert?
What was it called again? Battlefield Earth

http://www.rael.org/

Its got the best site intro I have ever seen!
I read an article last month about 2 Canadian reporters who spent 6 months infiltrating them....freaky scary stuff!
But I admire the Raelians for that "we cloned a human baby" scam
Give credit where its due, that was a good one.

you mistook us for gods

That was by far THE WORST movie ever created. Just horrible! I never have made it past 10 minutes without sleeping through it. And the second time, I was trying to psyche myself up by telling myself, "Don't sleep through it this time! Don't sleep through it this time!"

Beyond stupid!

Holy crap - the Raleans gave a talk at my school last year after the cloned baby thing. To this day I still don't understand why they came to a liberal arts Uni of all places - but I commend the guy for his moxy (as gramps would say).

the best part was that half the people showed up with tinfoil on thier heads (students) and decked out in capes. A little intolerant I will admit - but damn funny after the fact.

Get your tinfoil ready busanboy!!

Hello Captain Porridge,

Thanks for your mail.

Blue, in CC will contact you and send the necessary information about the
coming Korean seminar in case you'd like to attend.

I also put you in touch with Richard, who lives in Korea and can inform you
on how to get a copy of the book of the Messages, and inform you about our meetings and other events.

If I can be of any further assistance, don't hesitate to write again.
I live in Japan myself.

All the best,

Lluisa
