Mav Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Cult and/or Corporation. While some of their basic "ideals" are similar to other religions it always seems to boil down to the all mighty dollar (or insert your own currency here) for them. I love how it's ok for scientology followers to dismiss or talk negative about other religions but if you say such things about scientology it's almost a capitial offense ;o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenebrae Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Surprising really - that cardboard cutout of him did more acting in 20 minutes than he's done in the last 20 years, maybe he's jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 dont scientologists believe that the soul is an invisable alian slug entity that attaches itself to the back of ya neck!!! still i suppose you have to pay several thousands of dollar to reach the level where some jackass comes up to you and tells you that. why do so many actors/actresses believe this crock ov ballhooks? Spose it gets em in the papers as for that matter does complaining about stuff to not have it shown on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveo Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I don't know about you, but I want to go to Blisstonia with the Scientologists. Oh wait, that was a Simpsons episode cult. It's more realistic than Scientology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveo Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Don't forget - Wikipedia is written by illiterate 14 year olds. How it has become a trusted source is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorunNova Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Wikipedia's actually cleaning itself up lately. It now requires cited sources and strict NPOV, and pages that don't have valid sources / cited material are marked as such and often terminated. Still wouldn't use it as a source for a paper due to it's history and the fact that it isn't totally cleaned up, but it's a great place for leads. I don't see any reason to mistrust it's article on scientology. It seems to be a fairly accurate summary of the religion and it's history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilander72 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Some ppl thinks that belonging to an elitist organisation/movement makes them extra special... :thinking: If you as me I'd say that ppl who "belives" that are those being fooled by the true extra special person. :cyclops: On the other hand they are quite entertaining from a certain point of view...
