It is one thing to have an open mind, everyone should.
It is another thing to open your mind and slap a "For Rent/Best Offer/First Come First Served" sign on it.

Just because it is a mystery to YOU doesn't make it unexplained.

Hard to say.. I took note of this quote. - "Never discuss Scientology with the critic. Just discuss his or her crimes, known and unknown. And act completely confident that those crimes exist."- L. Ron Hubbard, "Critics of Scientology", November 5, 1967

And assume thats what she follows.

EXACTLY!!!! That's what I say! Not to mention an author who said that the best way to make money was to start a religion. I know the church denies that, but I think he really did say it. I can't wrap my mind around it! My brain actually refuses to comprehend the actions of the CoS followers. . .and I feel bad for that because I generally try to make myself understand other peoples motives.


Yeah but then again it's like every other religion out there. Someone made all of it up, and it was intended to put a particular group into power, and make money...which is exactly what the COS does.

And yeah, it totally ruined Chef for me too. . . I can't even watch South Park episodes with him in it any more without becoming baffled.


Yeah. Scientology really is "super adventure club" if you know what I'm talking about.

Quote

I did however read on one of the anti-CoS sites that the celebrity version of Scientology was different from the "normal" persons. . .because celebrities are high profile and attract attention and church followers (which leads to more money) and they don't want to scare the celebs off with the crazy stuff.


Well then it's not really scientology. It's just a slimy way of attracting new, gullible followers.
