Are There Any Pistonhead Scientologists?

[st_files]

Are there any Pistonhead Scientologists here? I would love to hear your side of the story....

[GekkoRules]

Might be a better idea to let us hear your side of the story first.

That way they can choose whether to engage.

Your post is really just saying " Please put your hand up so I can mock you / attack your views".

Hardly likely to attract any takers is it?

[anonymous-user]

What do you honestly expect?

Some poster comes along and posts that they believe in god/shiva/tom cruise/whoever and a hundred other posters reply with "you can't prove there is a god, you're an idiot" "religion causes all the wars in the world innit" etc

Good luck with that.

Just reading this article made me wonder:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8327569.st...

Scientology gets a very bad press and I've yet to meet one in real life - I completely respect a persons right to live the way they want to, I would just be interested to see if there were any on here and if they would care to shed some light on their beliefs.

Scientology rightly gets bad press they are dangerous conniving thieving quasi- religionists who prey on the gullible. John Revolting and Tom Crooze are typically gullible examples. In Germany and France they are being watched by the Internal Security Forces as they are "constitutionally a dangerous and criminal sect".

Precisely. Anyone who doubts how evil Scientology is should read a book by John Duignan called "The Complex"

Its not officialy available here as the scinos legal team sued the publishers to stop it being sold here in shops.

You can however pick it up on eBay.

Aren't there just. My mum lives half a mile away from St Hill Manor, AKA Brainwashing HQ.

I had a programming job breifly about 10 years ago working for the parents of a good friend of mine. After 2-3 months of working there I noticed post arriving from saint hill manor. They then starting making subtle hints and using (what I later found out was) scientology language, trying to persuade me to go for a dianetics test.

Suffice to say my resignation was on their desk the next morning.

Freaks.

Xenu was about to be deposed from power, so he devised a plot to eliminate the excess population from his dominions. With the assistance of psychiatrists, he summoned billions of his citizens together under the pretense of income tax inspections, then paralyzed them and froze them in a mixture of alcohol and glycol to capture their souls. The kidnapped populace was loaded into spacecraft for transport to the site of extermination, the planet of Teegeeack (Earth). The appearance of these spacecraft would later be subconsciously expressed in the design of the Douglas DC-8, the only difference being: "the DC8 had fans, propellers on it and the space plane didn't." When they had reached Teegeeack/Earth, the paralyzed citizens were unloaded around the bases of volcanoes across the planet. Hydrogen bombs were then lowered into the volcanoes and detonated simultaneously. Only a few aliens' physical bodies survived. Hubbard described the scene in his film script, Revolt in the Stars:


seems reasonable

No, but on the flip side, if they're that sure & proud of their beliefs, it shouldn't be an issue to stand up and be counted.

Surely?

The truly faithful will be so brainwashed that they will do just that. Scientology is *never* wrong. Its one of their fundamental tenets.

No more crazy than the other fairy stories. Just seems like it is as it doesn't have 2000 years of brain-washing momentum behind it.

Well Hubbard the founder of Scientology used to be a Science Fiction writer and at a science fiction convention he said

'You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion'

pretty much sums his intentions up for me!

And presumably he's 'considerably richer than yow almost everyone now....

It's strange, although I'm not a religionist, I can (sort of) understand why people might follow a religion like Christianity or Islam, there's a lot of history there. But a 'religion' made up by a storyteller called Ron last Tuesday? Just how gullible and credulous are these folk???

He's dead now. Robert Miscavige and Tommy Davis are at the top of the tree now.

They prey on those with mental illness and drugs problems, offering a better life for a small fee. They use a front called Narconon to recruit new members.
