    Presumably that will mean that it will diminish in popularity once membership is no longer required to obtain those secrets. Kind of like the KKK. Not that it won't be replaced with something equally batshit which hasn't had the fun ruined out of it yet.

    For what it's worth, all South Park episodes are available legally to stream from southparkstudios.com (or something like that, anyway).

    One ot the things the South Park episodes bring out is scientology's well-deserved reputation for relentless, ruthless persecution of anybody who crosses it. So watch out!

    So many haters. Why do we have to hate that which we don't understand? Basically, the premise behind Scientology is that during moments of pain (whether physical or emotional), the information that our senses are taking in get stored in our subconscious mind rather than our conscious mind like under normal circumstances. The data collected during these moments of pain get stored in chains depending on the type of pain. So the first time you experience sadness, for example, you start a chain of sadness memories and every time you experience sadness, those memories in your subconscious get stored on the same chain.
    As you look back along your life's timeline in your memory, the areas where memories were stored in your subconscious become like missing ties on the railroad track of your memory. The more you take out, the harder it is to go back. The farther back you look, the more intermediate memories are missing. Another part of Scientology is teaching you how to confront things with your full awareness and without emotion. When they bring the whole thing together, they call it "auditing". They use a feedback meter and have you confront your chains of missing memories one at a time by asking you questions. As you confront the memories at the beginning of the chain (or as far back along it as you can go), you build up an emotional charge. Once you get to the root of the problem, you release the charge and bring the memories associated with that chain back into conscious memory. Due to our nature of reincarnation, you can go back into past lives and clear charges built up across lifetimes. Eventually, you are able to start working on other planes of existence as you remember how to navigate without your material body.
    In a lot of ways, it reminds me of many different methods that are used to heal emotional and physical traumas from our past to allow us to live more fully in the now. Yes, it is more controversial than most, but it does have some validity.
    I went to the church of Scientology for a few months back in the early to mid-70s. I was amazed at the volume of writing L. Ron Hubbard did. They were very pushy in those days to get people moving through their organization, doing auditing sessions, and generating money. I didn't last very long as I didn't really have any money and wasn't about to get any anytime soon (at least not to give to them). A few years later, I ran into a couple of guys that had split from the church and were doing the auditing on their own. I did a couple of sessions with them and have to say I cleared a very big charge that I had built up over the way my parents had treated me when I was a child. I was asked, "What was it that your parents did wrong?" I answered that question several times with things like "they used to hit me", "they used to make fun of me", "they used to send me to bed without any dinner", etc. Finally I answered it, "Nothing." It was as if a huge weight was lifted off of me and I instantly broke into prolonged joyous laughter as I realized they really hadn't done anything wrong.
    Scientology is another way along the path to enlightenment.

    I don't know anything about scientology other than the fact that one of the worst actors ever to make a motion picture is a member,Tom Cruise.
