I have a new religion! It's called Supraology! Instead of wasting your time in a church, spend it working on / driving your car! Instead of giving your money away, put it into the car!

Now, you see how ridiculous that sounds? Imagine believing in space aliens. :icon_roll

out of all things that people are willing to revolt for, this has to be one of the most futile ones. there are plenty of good reasons and this one is not one of them

Scientologists annoy me. Every time i exit Goodge Street station and walk towards windmill street, the church is in the way and they take up the whole pavement. I used to avoid them by crossing the road twice, but now i just walk through them as if they're not there...

They know who i am though, i'm a regular face on TCR, but they still dont stop bugging me :/

Has anyone here actually studied Scientology, or just believe what the media tells you? Tommy boy there doesn't do very well at bringing across the fundamentals. For an accomplished actor, he really doesn't have a good command of the language...

At least read Dianetics, so you have some basic understanding of the principals of the "religion" you're so happy to put down. Personally, I see no problem with a "religion" that tries to help people live at their optimum potential without the use of drugs and hypnotism, or shock therapy and lobotomies.

And the whole 'we're aliens trapped inside a shell'/xenu bullshit doesn't bother you in the least?

Also - psychiatrists dont just hypnotise, hand out pills and drill holes in your skull - that, shows ignorance on your part.

Scientology is just one great fucking scam, designed to milk money out of people.

Who said I was talking about psychiatrists? Since you bring them up, though, I recently was reading a report by psychologists, on psychologists, about children. The problem was that too many were prescribing some form of drug to children within 10 minutes of the beginning of the interview. I know that that's not all, wasn't even most. Problem is giving children drugs for a problem that a simple diet change can fix. I know a bit about psychiatry as well.

I'm not a Scientologist, although I have benefited from certain services they offer. The whole Thetan thing is a bit odd, I'll admit, but not any worse than, say, Mormonism, or the Masons. And there is much, much worse out there for you to be worried about...

Dianetics is one thing, but what Scientology has become in the last 20 years is something completely different. They suppress freedom of speech, they steal lives, and threaten anyone who says anything negative about them with lawsuits.

Of course, when you get right down to it, the fundamental belief system isn't much different than most other religions. Were we brought here by a spaceship, or were we formed from the earth itself by a cosmic being? Logically, either sounds preposterous.

My post earlier about "Supraology" was completely sarcastic, but I'm making a point. People are sheep. My belief is that I should live a good life, be a good person, and when I die I'll find out the rest.

Honestly, watch the documentary on Scientology that a British reporter did.
It was Genuinely creepy watching the spokesman for Scientology show up everywhere the guy went. A bunch of paranoid stalkers and the guy would never shut up.
If that's Scientology it's a religion of being a bunch of assholes.

I will agree that it has gotten a bit... SciFi like now.

As far as stealing lives, waste of money, etc. Psychiatry and psychology do the same things; they're just accepted by the "mainstream."

There are some very helpful, and educational, parts to Scientology. Their reading and comprehension courses are second to none. The purification course(a form of detoxification) is excellent, and has been offered, free of charge, to any fire fighter, medic, police officer, etc., who was at ground zero for 9/11, or worked at the clean-up there afterwards, since 2002. Those people breathed in so many toxins that they where dying from poisoning. The purif. has close to a 100% survival rate for the(afore mentioned) people that have been through it. The current medical system isn't any where near that. Going untreated has proven to be 100% fatal.
NarcAnon(a form of drug rehabilitation program) gets people off of drugs. Period. After successfully completing the course, there is no returning to the need for drug use.

There are other things as well, but these I have a bit experience with.

I've always found Scientology interesting.

In my opinion, it's theory of our origin on this planet is no less plausable than the space fairy creating man out of nothing then creating woman from one of his ribs, then kicking them out of paradise onto earth. Seems equally far fetched that we're the product of alien activities.

You know, there's a Scientology display at the Great Mall in Milpitas, CA.
