After I watched these excellently produced video testimonials by actual scientologists I asked myself how could I have ever thought that scientology was really just a brain-washing UFO cult. Srsly, watch these and revel in their ultra high production values and totally not insane dialogue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOY2fKIiDj4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA4R69SyK9Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKVTeY8Dqis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb06pOZ69Ns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HVzB3H96ak
Well then fucking post them. Pissing me off with this thread that doesn't exist anymore. Bring the content back damnit.
L-Ron Hubbard is a scientific writer --dianetics is a verbose play on verbositi--clarity is cool--everything else is hocom---ive read all the books and its about as religios as any other crutch sysyem---for people who are soo confused-opiate for the masses in a more modern form-----this is just imo--dont bother flaming it will just commit you to writing negative bullshit---if your clear yur clear--no need to shout it ouy loud from the rooftops------anarchy

Hmm, sounds kind of like the deluded ramblings of acid casualties and 13 year olds who just discovered salvia....
i read stranger in a strange land before i read dianetics. i also had some scientologist neighbors who were rather annoying though not particularly more so then just as annoying followers of other beliefs. i mean look, scientology is just capialism packaged as belief. if you read hienline's stranger in a strange land it becomes easy to understand this. i don't need to bash someone else's belief to recognize that it doesn't interest me and i don't need it. i don't need the crutch of having to bash anything. while i simply have no love for it, i also fail to see the point of throwing stones. if anything, making martyrs, even living martyrs, of anything, is the surest way to insure others will be attracted to it, the way moths are attracted to flame. it makes no sense to bash scientology if you love capitalism. as much as it makes no sense to love capitalism, if you hate scientology. fortunately for me, i neither lover nor hate either of them, but would completely not miss either if both were to completely go away.
This video is about ten years old. It's over twenty minutes long but it shows the basics of what the scientologists will go through during their early indoctrination in the course room. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7xiY54d96M"]YouTube - Scientology: TR demo
