money sucking mind controlling aliens

aliens

My friends and I drove through Downtown Clearwater a few weeks ago and saw masses of them walking around town. It's kinda' creepy and yes, it's just a big scam. They actually host a 10k around December called Say No To Drugs. The winner of each age group gets a copy of the Author's book, and a free pancake breakfast.

same as christianity ... just a few name changes

Nothing like christianity.

In a Rolling Ston article on scientology the founder Hubbard who was a science fiction novelist was quoted by a friend as saying "religion is where the money is." 10 years or so later he founded scientology. Even today to your spiritual progress is linked to how much money you have donated to the church.

If you are a scientologist you are an idiot.

Yeah, my wife and I saw all of the people in the uniforms walking around Clearwater, too, when we were on our honeymoon and saw their big building, asked somebody who they were and were told 'Scientologists'; and this was over 30 years ago, in 1976! Sounds like it's the 'same scene' there today.

Isn't it interesting how the Stars don't have to wear the matching outfits and run around some campus area with 'their' lives controlled, like the zombies we observed in Clearwater. (separate set of rules for celebrities I guess).

you have to pay for the various levels of scientology. not for anyone without money.

basic tenet is that truth is relative.

absolue truth exists, but scientoligists believe: "if it's true for you, then it's true. but it might not be true for me."

i read that in a pamphlet at work 2 years ago, b/c my former boss is still a scientologist.

Oh sure - for the inti-LEX-shell eggheads who read static text. Here's another with cartoons and music for us normal folks:

sounds like the definition of a secular-progressive..."no judgements"; no right and wrong, it's all relative.

Christianity is just as dumb of a belief system as Scientology, or even Mormonism. They all have things that deny logical thought and play to mankinds inability to admit that he does not know certain things. The main difference between the older religions and these new breeds is that time has some how made the older ones more believable. It is just more acceptable to believe that a virgin gave birth, or that a man walked on water and rose from the dead when we preface it by saying this all occurred 2000 yrs ago (also the only time, apparently, that God decided to reveal himself...where is he nowadays?). If you are religious and you knock Scientology for being stupid, go take a look at yourself and what you belief. When people believed in Zeus they didn't feel so stupid then either.

Hey fascist it's not relative but it's up to debate and democracy, Christians thought for a long time that slavery is right till someone said no it's not, Christians thought for a long time it's ok to kill "witches" till people started to debate over it, Christians thought that women are inferior and should have less rights till...

Be happy that people just didn't accept what's "right" or "wrong" according to the current beliefs.

Who is Xenu?

I'm going to tell you a story. Are you sitting comfortably? Right, then I'll begin.

Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack.

Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were overpopulated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.

Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).

These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.

The story doesn't end there though. Since everyone has a soul (called a "thetan" in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper).

After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called "implanting".

When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.

As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today.

That is the end of the story. And so today everyone is full of these clusters of souls called "body thetans". And if we are to be a free soul then we have to remove all these "body thetans" and pay lots of money to do so. And the only reason people believe in God and Christ was because it was in the film their body thetans saw 75 million years ago.

Well what did you think of that story?

What? You thought it was a stupid story?

Well so do we. However, this story is the core belief in the religion known as Scientology. If people knew about this story then most people would never get involved in it. This story is told to you when you reach one of their secret levels called OT III. After that you are supposed to telepathically communicate with these body thetans to make them go away. You have to pay a lot of money to get to this level and do this (or you have to work very hard for the organisation on extremely low pay for many years).

We are telling you this story as a warning. If you become involved with Scientology then we would like you to do so with your eyes open and fully aware of the sort of material it contains.

Most of the Scientologists who work in their Dianetics* centres and so called "Churches" of Scientology do not know this story since they are not allowed to hear it until they reach the secret "upper" levels of Scientology. It may take them many years before they reach this level if they ever do. The ones who do know it are forced to keep it a secret and not tell it to those people who are joining Scientology.

Now you have read this you know their big secret. Don't let us put you off joining though.

One funny thing about $cientology is while it is homophobic as hell in its teachings, it attracts so many gay actors and forces them to pretend, in public, to be heterosexual. Everybody in Hollywood knows both Tom Cruise & John Travolta are as queer as the proverbial three dollar bill (and have male lovers, yet they both go to absolutely hysterical lengths---with the help of the cult---play the role of "happily married str8 dude."

As IF.

either that, or just watch south park.

The funny thing about South Park is that I believe three of the episodes were based off of the area I live in.

There was the Scientology episode with Travolta and Cruise in the closet, refusing to come out.

I believe they had a parody of the Terry Schaivo case when Kenny died and battled Satan's army with the Sony PSP. That hospice where Schaivo was at, is a couple of miles from my highschool.

Also, recently. The bum episode, I am probably way-off here but I think it might of been making fun of all of the homeless people with the tents in St. Petersburg a few months back.

Chances are, i'm way off on those but it's a possibility. With our crappy football team, atleaste i'd like to think the Tampa Bay Area got something. Also, running down here sucks!

Bingo!

That is the exact way I feel. I don't think I could have written it that well though.

Yet the ivory gods,

And the ebony gods,

And the gods of diamond-jade,

Are only silly puppet gods

That people themselves

Have made.
