I give Mentalo full credit, he warned me not to get involved.


maybe His Majesty TM could explain what it's all about.....


seriously though, you're right in what you said on the Sony board. I'd like to tear some new ones for people who deserve it occasionally, but you taWked some sense into me.

Scientology is more of a Hollywood thing. It's the belief that we are all Aliens or something crazy like that. It's something a Science Fiction writer (L. Ron Hubbard) created a few years ago. I am surprised a New York gal like Remini would fall for that garbage.

Doug (and jp):"I need a beer."

[TryN2BGood]

Good for Leah. She has a lot of money. The other actors too.

Here some quotes of ex-members:

Caroline Letkeman, Former scientologist, left after 24 years
«I was in the cult from January 1975 until May 1999. In addition to defrauding me out of those 24 years, Scientology robbed me of more than US $60,000 for its useless, indeed dangerous "services." Scientology and its agents tricked me into purchasing these "services" with promised wonderful results, which I have discovered were utterly false. As part of their scam, the cult and its cultists threatened me into paying all this money and participating all these years with cynically manufactured menaces.»

Andreas Heldal-Lund, Former scientologist
«People should be free to believe whatever they want, including Scientology. What I have against Church of Scientology is its deceitfulness, its lack of compassion for its members (especially the hard-working staff), its aggressive hard sell, its arrogance, its attack on free speech, its litigiousness, its harassment of its critics, its lack of concern for families, its gross neglect and abuse of children, etc.»

Catarina Pamnell, Former scientologist
«By 1983, two years after reading my first Hubbard book, I had gone from a reasonably well-ordered life (steady job, friends, money in the bank, no drug or psychiatric problems, etc.) to a complete mess. I had quit my office job, and worked in the local Scientology organisation in Stockholm, Sweden, for 'wages' of around $10-15 a week. My money was all gone after paying over $10,000 for their courses. I had nowhere to live, as the person I had been renting a room from got kicked out of Scientology, which meant that other Scientologists were not allowed any contact with her. The organization's Ethics Officer told me I had to move out within 24 hours. I didn't eat or sleep much, had practically no contact anymore with my family and former friends, and was becoming increasingly depressed and unstable. So why didn't I just quit? By then, I had begun to accept the view that if any Scientology methods didn't work out very well for me, it was solely due to my own shortcomings.»

Gary Weber, ex-member of the "Guardian Office"
«I'm sorry to say I was a part of this Scientology Gestapo organization and probably felt much like the Nazi Youth did in pre-war Germany, full of hope, our heads filled with great promises, and willing to do anything for the "Fuehrer." It wasn't until years afterwards that I began to get help and shed these false beliefs and mental programs, which I had so vigorously defended in the name of "truth."
I remember the time John Travolta would come to Clearwater and he use to say he loved Scientology but didn't like the Scientology management. Well it was our Guardian's Intelligence office that collected his "confidential confessionals" from his supposedly private and confidential counseling records to compile a dead agent package for use in case he went against the church. Since I didn't see anymore negative talk from him, I guess he was "handled".»

Yeah, I see nothing wrong with that.
