Watch the "Going Clear" documentary on HBO. Fascinating and Tom Cruise is a fricking nut job.

Didn't L. Ron Hubbard get reincarnated as a 9 year old kid in Colorado?

My aunt works for a mission. She doesn't talk about it so neither do I. But I scooped around and they have some pretty bizarre practices

It is funny how scientologists gets made fun of for their beliefs, yet the christians and muslims act like their religion is so easy to believe.



This x100000


Christianity and Islam have some of the wackiest stories and practices of any religion, yet because they are modernized because they've spread to become the dominant religions in a few short thousand years, people accept them as blindly as a bat. Yet people want to say that Scientology sounds "crazy".

From someone who passes through the scientology headquarters regularly in St. Petersburg, FL that is some weird arse shite. Beautiful location but to see all the Scientologists walking around in black and white is just weird.

I've worked for them before.

They definitely believe some crazy arse shite, and it's annoying how much the city of Clearwater kisses their asses, but there is some good community work that they do.

I read somewhere that the ratio of members to how much money scientology brings in is crazy. By looking at the area around Clearwater and the scientology faculties it doesn't look like they are hurting for money.

The "higher ups" in the area are filthy rich, as is the organization itself.

My wife used to work catering events, and did one once at the Clearwater HQ. Said the place was unreal inside.

Since you are not a scientologist he won't be your friend much longer. You will be labeled an SP. Supressive Person.

Love the St.pete and clearwater beaches. If I did not have my kids and job in jacksonville I would move there in a second. Maybe down the road it will happen.

there could not be more difference between scientology, islam and christianity. to say the 3 of them are equally justified is just ignorant.
