The Scientology booklets turn up?

Lucky you. I got a DVD “Making a Killing, the untold story of psychotropic drugs”. Comes from the Citzens Commission on Human Rights but it doesnt hide that it is really Scientology.

Havent watched it, if anyone wants to provide me with a review I will, well, wont look at that either.

*meh* scientology is as credible as every other religious belief.

Perhaps it’s the gamer in me but I have an easier time thinking of Jesus coming back as a zombie (or that he had a soulstone or battlerez, lol) than I do thinking that my soul once belonged to an alien.

You’re right though, all belief systems are pretty loopy when you really look at them.

Anyone else see that Scientology had a channel 64 TV presence recently? Saw it on the digital TV guide a few days ago and had a laugh seeing youthful wide eyed presenters flog some anti drug message to death. Hopefully people have the sense to avoid the bogus crap on that channel 😀

they have their own channel? awesome comedy television.

Nah, they just buy airtime on the channel and fill it with their “Scientology is the bestest thing in the world” infomercial crap produced specifically for it. Here’s an example:

the intro was the best part!! i bet they made up all those stats.
the guy hosting looks dead in the eyes (usually expected amongst the faithfull). He wasn’t nearly as entertaining as Jesse Duplantis – this guy is wonderful and so hilarious. I used to stay up to watch him he is the only guy who can talk about how fat his mumma was in a sermon! and i don’t subscribe to any religion i find them all funny

I note Scientology is using their own name again. During the health and fitness boom of the late 1980s/early 90s they ran newspaper ads showing a muscular runner with the copy inviting people into “Dianetics” for “a healthy mind and healthy body”.

I got one and I’m in Belconnen. I immediately recognised it as bible basher crap and recycled it.

I don’t think Scientologists are interested in the bible. Hubbard wrote an alternative Religion Manual for them, about aliens and getting money off gullible people.

Ah, but you see, the Way to Happiness was written by Hubbard as a whole-sale rip-off of bible Sunday school teachings, in order to lure people to Scientology by saying things very similar to almost-secular Christians. The alien stuff isn’t actually revealed to a Scientologist until you’ve dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into their machine, by which time you’re usually a believer in whatever they tell you.

I’m in Higgins and got one. We thought about having a ritual burning of it but ended up just tossing it out 🙂

Ron E Hubbard? They didn’t even get their founder’s name right?

Touche – well, however you spell it. Didn’t really want to google scientology at work, so borrowed the spelling from earlier in this string…….

Ron E Hubbard? They didn’t even get their founder’s name right?

Yeah, we got these last week in Braddon. Mrs Monarch was going through the mail and asked me “where do I know the name Ron E Hubbard from?”. I immediately thought of those boxes in the earlier riot-act post.

I got one in Watson. I didn’t even read the title before I binned it.

Ooh, I like the “To” and “From” sections on the front – makes it a great Christmas gift. Scientologists do Christmas, right? …right?

The only pamphlet I ever got from them was about the evils of using Ice. Graphic photos, the works – I thought it was a health initiative, but no, according to the ‘where to get help’ part, giving all your money to Tom Cruise is the only option.

::hopes no-one can sense limited knowledge of Scientology::

Yes it does – at the front page in very tiny writing it says this is from the Ron E Hubbard Library collection 🙂

Write “return to sender” on it and drop it in a mailbox. Worked a treat for the terrorism fridge magents.

You got terrorism magnets? no fair

I enjoyed this book, it was a mighty amusing read. Scientology has to be one of the funnier religions – all of them are crazy and hilarious but this one is just great . People are crazy.

Gee, I was hoping it was books of some sort. WtH booklets are positively yawn-worthy (though I’m still curious how widely they’re going to drop them across Canberra).

What do I say? It is about time that someone attempted at saving souls in that Gordon-Conder-Banks area..After all, it may save that whole area from being fenced off with barbed wire and mine field all around the perimeter.If I were you-I’d see this as an omen.
