I am enjoying this series. I watch all of this Scientology stuff though.
The new operation on airline hwy is fascinating me but I fear if I ever go in they'll trap me.

I've been watching it. I'm mixed. Leah Remini used her celebrity power and exposure to push this shite for years. She needs to raise her hand and acknowledge her part more than she has. Perhaps she believes that she is doing her part by doing the show. I don't agree. I am, however, fascinated by the show. My dad and my aunt (his sister) got hung up with this shite when I was in high school. My aunt gave me an L. Ron Hubbard book when I was in high school, and I threw it away unread. I believe in God, but religion has confused me for a while.
You should've read the book. L Ron Hubbard was a total fraud. He figured out a way to get rich without working not unlike a Sharpton or Jackson. Just a pimp

Supposedly his objective was to actually create a religion because "that's where the real money is"
That is pretty out there. The topper is probably having worse teeth than butterteeth.

Well her mother got her involved when she was very young so she had this pumped into her from a very young age.
I know several in BR. Friends of mine and they have been involved since late 70's. We don't discuss it anymore.

After meeting them, what is it? It seems like one of those things to know what it is you have to get trapped in it.

That's all religion.
Whatever sect you grow up in, that is what you will believe until you learn something else.
Parents raise their kids to have the same beliefs they do.
Scientology is no more weird than mouth to penis suction during a Bris. Yet make fun of that religion and you get called a dirty name.

Episode three "The Bridge" goes in depth into what it is. Just watched that one.

I'd say less than 1% of anti-semitism has to do with actual Judaism. It's typically resentment of power.

I had no idea Scientology was so expensive and required so much reading. Two deal breakers for my arse. 
Posted on 12/14/16 at 11:10 pm to Slippy
I wonder if she still thinks about Zack...

Watching the first episode now. My first thought is the people who come after Mike Rinder remind me of the millennial democrats who get so mad after losing elections. The resemblance is uncanny, really.

If you arrived from another universe, and you were told the tenets of Scientology and other religions, you would not single it out as the crazy one. They all have some nutty and unbelievable shite.
That said, what separates these guys and other cults from more mainstream religions is the total separation and ostracism for those who question it, and the scam for more money that rivals college textbook sales.
"Oh, you were level 3. We found errors in the books at level 1. Go buy the corrected editions of those books and start all over." Uh, yeah, get fricked,

I was watching it last night and thought the same thing. Its basically the religious version of the text book scam.

She is a nice looking lady I would knock boots with her..
If I could get past her being a former member of scientology. I don't think I could that shite is way to creepy to me

Scientology is interesting as its managed to merge and find a niche in the cross section of three huge cultural tenants of America: Religion, Celebrity and Litigation. It endoreses itself as a religion, markets themselves as a celebrity and protects itself with litigation.
It's definitely strange and from a logical perspective, just looking at the genesis should lead you to realizing this Hubbard guy was a hack. But there's something blinding about it to some folks. I just don't understand it.
The weirdest me part to me isn't the cult behavior, that's what cults do. The annual meetings weird me out. It's like a big seance and that huge alter just shouts something bad about it.
They quote Hubbard once saying the goal is for man to get himself in a position to look inward and answer all the questions himself. That's pretty much the essence of humanism/satanism.
