But where the hell's Jenna Elfman been? I haven't seen her so much as helping change a flat-tire on the Cahuenga Pass. Travolta? Lady from Cheers? Maybe a little less Scientology, and a little more Try-entology, huh, guys.
Exactly. I need to see Giovanni Ribisi protecting a campground from a bear, or something. Come on G, man up. At the very least, run into the woods to get bear's attention. I think you owe us that much.
If scientology was recognized as philosophical idealism it would be okay, but as a religion? just because some guy wrote a novel? I'm going to join the J.R.R. Tolkein Lord of the Rings religion where Frodo takes the place of Jesus. I mean let me just say that this is a pop culture religion and has no merit. This is a religion that doesn't exist in middle america, only in places where pop culture prevails. Its only a fad for Us weekly or People magazine.

miss Flux and I got drunk and did this once on Hollywood Blvd. i don't recommend it, as it was pretty terrifying. hope you gave a fake name, coolerking.
I so wish that I'd been with you guys.
it was really super unsettling. this was my test, i still have no idea what it means.
Wow, you did better than I did. Or is that worse? I had a lot of line down in the negative section.
Also, during the interview, I almost messed up when he casually asked my age, cause I'd used a fake one. It took me a half second to remember what I'd put down.

Hmm, it looks like the small print says, "One of us. One of us. Gabba, gabba. One of us." It also says that if you don't join, Tom Cruise will personally show up to your house and jump on your sofa.
You should have shown up with a bunch of Jehovah's witnesses pamphlets and started proselytizing to them. That would have entertained me.
i did this when i was 16 with my friend just for kicks too. i managed to get away from my guy but my friend was stuck with hers for like 4 hours. then he harassed her at home by phone until her dad threatened to kill him if he didn't stop calling his 15 year old daughter.
ahaha thanks for destroying any urge i may have had to undergo the personality test just for kicks.
have you been to the psychiatry: an industry of death museum? it's neat. they blame the holocaust, the assassination of jfk and just about every other historical tragedy on psychiatry. i am glad i gave them a fake name, though.

THE RELIGION OF SCIENTOLOGY
CREED OF THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY
We of the Church believe:
That all men of whatever race, color, or creed were created with equal rights;
That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance;
That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives;
That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity;
That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense;
That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist or support their own organizations, churches and governments;
That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others;
That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their own kind;
That the souls of men have the rights of men;
That the study of the mind and the healing of mentally caused ills should not be alienated from religion or condoned in non-religious fields;
And that no agency less than God has the power to suspend or set aside these rights, overtly or covertly.
And we of the Church believe:
That man is basically good;
That he is seeking to survive;
That his survival depends upon himself and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.
And we of the Church believe that the laws of God forbid man:
To destroy his own kind;
To destroy the sanity of another;
To destroy or enslave another's soul;
To destroy or reduce the survival of one's companions or one's group.
And we of the Church believe that the spirit can be saved and that the spirit alone may save or heal the body.
Cool! SG has it's own sleeper agent! Does this legitimatize SG in any way as either a religious or political entity?
I did one of those ages ago! They kept me there for like 2 hours waiting for the test results! How mad is that! We just went in for a laugh.
I got the same diagrams with crosses saying that I am unfullfilled/failing/bad person and that I need to buy books to raise the graphs higher.
They then questioned my sexuality and told me that I was probably Gay and that I should buy the books or embrace Scientology to correct it.
It was a good pitch in all fairness but thats cos Im a rather easily co-erced person.
She then rang me 3 times in the next couple of months asking if I was still interested and ready to make a change in my life. I found that very invasive as she opened with the line "So how have you been dealing with the problems in your life? Have you got any further solving them?"
ummm Hello!?!?! This guy was a science fiction author. How the hell did a religion get started because he wrote something. He's a sience fiction author... I just don't understand... It seriously boggles my mind. The plhrase which best comes to mind is "does not compute".
Haha...it's as if they really just ask to be jabbed at...I respect the fact that this is what they choose to believe in...but when you say you are the only ones that are correct...that is when you are wrong...SORRY, but when you close your mind off to the rest of the worlds beliefs you are lost. Don't push your beliefs...believe what you like...overall...don't be an idiot...or so all the Scientologists can understand...DBAi.
thank you, louella, /i/ was /b/eginning to think nobody else would mention mr. a.
/i/ just found out about a scientology center an hour south of me that is ripe for the picking. /i/ just need to find out what the local law does about dissenters, as we are "fair game."
/i/ also dropped a potential "bomb" in 711chan /b/efore cos chut it down. people read and replied, so it may still be possible.
anon are legion. one never knows who is where and when they are.
