WTF? Don't know much about it other than its secretive and half the members make a lot of money and the other half give a lot of money.
Oh, and apparently we are infested with confused alien spirits.
Tom Cruise's recent exploits have me convinced he reached upper levels and subsequently lost his friggin' mind. I can't imagine how so many seemingly well-versed A-lister's buy into this stuff.
Can someone explain?

hahaha -
Immediately prior to this work, Hubbard was intensively involved with the occultist Jack Parsons in performing the occult rites developed by Aleister Crowley. Some critics have pointed out the many similarities in Hubbard's writings to the doctrines of Crowley
- No shit. Now that is funny... Crowley was quite cool as shit. I knew there were similarities between the Xenu myth and the gnostic demiurge myth. hmmmm.......

i used to practice with my soccer (football) team at a school called the Progressive Academy, which was, as far as i could tell, a Scientology school... we were just wandering around one night before practice, and we found this little seating area where there were a bunch of picture books by L Ron Hubbard... one was basically telling kids how to learn, so it was page after page after page of illustrations of things you shouldn't do... "don't slouch", "don't sit stiff", etc.
it was pretty funny to flip through

The church of scientology did a sort of tour round the uk a few years back. I got a few of the leaflets and thought it was utter crap, plus any religion that uses advertisments and famous people to promote itself can't really be seen as more than a publicity stunt.
Still I've seen quite a few of their churches, there is one on Totenham Road.

One day when I was looking for work, I submitted a resume to this job placement company. They immediately called me and told me to come in for an interview. It was based out of this house in a nicer part of vancouver, and I had to go in through the back sliding window. I walked up to the desk, and handed them a copy of my resume, and they told me to sit down in the waiting room untill they had my intelligence test ready. Intelligence test? That was when I started looking around the room. The first thing that caught my eye, was this 6 foot by 3 foot painting of some wolves on a cliff howling at the moon, with the clouds making up the face of none other than L Ron Hubbard himself! Heh... suprise suprise... they were scientologists! I glanced at the book case, and noticed one complete row of books entitled dianetics.
I almost decided to leave right there, but then I thought it might be fun to have my real personality analyzed by them, instead of one of the fake personalities that I always go and get tested. So I did their inteligence test. It was funny because they tell everyone that nobody ever completes it within the half hour, but I made a point of answering all the questions, and making most of the answers correct. I usually do very well on intelligence and aptitude tests, not because I am extremely intelligent, but because I am really good at working with shapes and patterns. They were all impressed, and handed me the personality test right away. That was where the interview process went sour. Normally they make a point of taking a person into a room, and going over the test with them all to figure out a way to tell the person 'this is how we can help you', but this time the only two things I heard about my test was "(forget name) can you look at this for a second", and then a couple minutes later "we don't have anything for you at the moment, but we will keep your resume on file for future clients". I kind of wonder what they came up with, cause they are usually desparate for people to joint their c

hey that's Mathamatics, it has no room for exceptions. (the heartless subject)
Yes, they were all nice to me giving me leaflets and offering to show me around their exhibition. At first it looks harmless; plus you don't really think of religion when you hear the word Scientology mentioned; but then you start noticing the word church everywhere and the "helpers" stalking you. When I noticed it I told my mum "you know what, I don't like it here let's just leave." At this point we were intercepted by one of them and asked whether we were enjoying ourselves I said some rubbish and made it obvious we wanted to leave, seeing this the helper stuffed a load of leaflets in my hand and tried to get us to buy books worth £20+. We just headed straight for the lift and never ever looked back. My mum goes to me a few minutes after leaving "what a load of rubbish, nothing to do with science at all". It made me laugh.

People on LSD make up more plausible and exciting things that Scientologists, one of their leaflets was on "How drugs and Heroin ruin your life" it had all the usual crap except with how the only way to salvation was through Scientology. Boring

There was a scientology 'celebrity center' near where I used to live in Portland. One time I was walking in the mall with a ladyfriend and I wasn't quite paying attention. She asked if I wanted to make a non-violence pledge at this booth thing that was set up. I looked up and saw it was some sort of Scientology publicity thing where they were collecting people's handprints for some 'non violence pledge'... and we had been approached by a helper. I wrenched at her arm with sudden fear and got out of there as quickly as possible.

No. The looked kind of disturbed when they finally finished calculating the test. I think it kind of scared them. There must be a couple personalities that they don't touch. I probly landed in the "cynic: will not buy our bullshit hands down" category, so coupled with the uber high psuedo intelligence test they decided I would best not be a member of their church. Either that, or I was so full of theitans that I managed to seem contaigous.

Yet it's clear from Hubbard's writing that he's far too ignorant to be aware of gnosticism, much less crib from it. I think there's more Amazing Stories than Nag Hammadi in Scientology.
