It's all so very weird. -------------- Uncommon Descent is a moral cesspool, a festering intellectual ghetto that intoxicates and degrades its inhabitants - Stephen Matheson

You know you have to help... and you know you're the only one who can help... because you're so... like wow... and you better know it, and if you don't, go and learn it... we're here to help... And the more you know, the more you can help... KMS...MNSP...HAHAHAHAHA... and maybe one day it will be like that... PTSP...," and blah, blah, yakkity-yak. The only time I really understand him was when he said, "I wish I could go on vacation." So do I, Tom. So do I. From you, you lunatic! And I don't even want to think about what "I've canceled that in my area" means!  I've never been interested in your "area," Tom. -------------- Which came first: the shimmy, or the hip?

The flat-ass self-absorbed narcissism aroused nausea. I'm tasting stomach acid, forchrissake. "Thank you." Plus I didn't hear a fucking WORD of content.  Not a word. Some peeper widening, broad displays of The Tooth, some big time self-regard, and ten minutes of nothing. What the fuck? "Thank you." Near the end I noticed two soup cans and an E-meter. But where are the stacks of cash? There should be stacks of cash. "Thank you." And a sailor's cap. "Thank you." And I'd swear I saw a couple body thetans stuck to Tom's buff new haircut. "Thank you." (I'm going back to my Urantia Book. Because then I'll know. I'll just know.)   -------------- Myth: Something that never was true, and always will be. "The truth will set you free.

You can still see it here. These guys must be rolling in dough and have some real dirt on former members. It scares me, how they can have such pull. -------------- Which came first: the shimmy, or the hip?

I'm still concerned about the people they're harming, and am incensed that something more can't be done about them.. but still I can't fear anything that ludicrous.

And one of the best utilities a webmaster can be acquainted with is the "Xenu Link Checker". IIRC, one of the popular prime-time cartoon shows had a segment on what Scientologists believe, which had a nice representation of Xenu, complete with deep villain laugh. Anybody recall that? -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

I think it's fair to say that they're a pretty nasty bunch - not necessarily the members but those who wield the power, certainly.  In fact an awful lot of organized religions seem to be more interested in power (and its close relation, money) than in seeking an understanding of the World. Or perhaps I'm just getting cynical through over-exposure to UD and FtK. Gosh, I DO like this forum! Back to lurking.... Huwp Edit: Oooh blimey!  I have an edit button!

Read here for their take on the history of man.  Biology, evolution, supressed memories of clams (yes I said clams) that now occupy your own subconcious (via evolution) and other assorted crazy shit from the Scientology Church. These guys are IDiots on steroids. -------------- Uncommon Descent is a moral cesspool, a festering intellectual ghetto that intoxicates and degrades its inhabitants - Stephen Matheson

The church has apparently blocked it: http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article3345184.ece Maybe Cruise is still acting ?  I watched MI3 the other night and he was very good. Still, he reminds me a bit of this guy:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KpFCz9Hou0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2cm2RDfIfQ&feature=related   A very good sports commentator in his day but everyone on this side of the Atlantic now thinks he's absolutely nuts. I hope Cruise dosen't go the same way as Ike.
