Who is Xenu?

I’m going to tell you a story. Are you sitting comfortably? Right, then I’ll begin.

Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack.


Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were over-populated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.

Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).

These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.

The story doesn’t end there though. Since everyone has a soul (called a “thetan” in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper).

After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called “implanting”.

When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.

As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today.

That is the end of the story. And so today everyone is full of these clusters of souls called “body thetans”. And if we are to be a free soul then we have to remove all these “body thetans” and pay lots of money to do so. And the only reason people believe in God and Christ was because it was in the film their body thetans saw 75 million years ago.

Well what did you think of that story?

What? You thought it was a stupid story?

Well so do we. Unfortunately this stupid story is the core belief in the religion known as Scientology.* If people knew about this story then most people would never get involved in it. This story is told to you when you reach one of their secret levels called OT III. After that you are supposed to telepathically communicate with these body thetans to make them go away. You have to pay a lot of money to get to this level and do this (or you have to work very hard for the organisation on extremely low pay for many years).

We are telling you this story as a warning. If you become involved with Scientology then we would like you to do so with your eyes open and fully aware of the sort of material it contains.


Most of the Scientologists that work in their Dianetics* centres and so called “Churches” of Scientology do not know this story since they are not allowed to hear it until they reach the secret “upper” levels of Scientology. It may take them many years before they reach this level if they ever do. The ones who do know it are forced to keep it a secret and not tell it to those people who are joining Scientology.

Now you have read this you know their big secret. Don’t let us put you off joining though.

It's funny how they get offended when somebody calls them crazy or makes fun of them. Reminds me of denial.

not a very good story, hope they don't make a movie from it....

Seems reasonable that this cult wouldn't want people to know this core belief...
Letting some secret like that out of the bag prematurely might turn away even the wackiest of Hollywood's "superstars".

You want to let them sink their teeth into the system for a number of years, certainly...make fools of themselves in the manner of a Tom Cruise, and eventually, such a thing can be revealed, and be accepted!

Wonder if anyone is one of these OTIII's?

We'd probably have to search the registry of mental institutions to find them.

That would make an awful movie.
Battlefield Earth comes to mind for some reason. Then again, I don't have the patience to sit through an entire film of that caliber.
No disrespect to Scientologists, like Travolta of course. Just not my cup of tea.

Funny you mention Battle Field Earth...the same guy who wrote Battle Field Earth is the man who invented scientology...

Oh my. Then they really really shouldn't make a movie.
I didn't know that.

I've always wanted to watch Battlefield Earth just to see how awful it really is. I may just have to rent it now.

But on topic, I wonder if Scientology is going to decrease in popularlity now that

1) It's supported by people that many view as lunatics, even aside from their religion (Read: Tom Cruise)

2) These OT III secrets are now spread widely through the multimedia, including via South Park, which is viewed by many millions of people.

3) People are moving away from religion in general

Battle Field Earth wasn't that bad....I actually kinda liked it...of course I also like Gigli

Did you like Clifford?
No? ...ok

The Big Red Dog...of course I did....

I mean the one with Martin Short.

I've actually never heard of that one...but the big red dog was fanastic....also I'm not a Martin Short fan....so its unlikely

Don't see it then.

There are actually a lot of celebs. I looked at it recently. Soem of them are just a bit more quiet about their beliefs.

After reading this story I'm surprised people got involved with Scientology in the first place.
I'm also suprised that so called intelligent people took the writings of a Science Fiction
author seriously enough to turn it into a religion. People like this deserve to be bilked
of their money. They should know better. The whole core belief system of Scientology
is pure nonscense. No wonder it attracts crazies and eccentric celebrities. Now that
people have seen the antics of Tom Cruise, they may turn away from Scientology and
find spiritual comfort elsewhere. One can only hope.

A ten year old could come up with better foundation to build a religion on. That’s just very lame, lol.

Some people will believe a very big lie. Hitler thought that this was an amazing thing.
Now, this could of course be the truth, but a fantastic one that is very unbelievable to me. So the fact that people buy into this is interesting.
Then again, people have believed crazier things in mainstream religions, such as talking snakes etc.

Scientology...

My thetan feels threatened.

Xenu needs laid.

I wonder if the people who post in the ET/UFO section believe in scientology...I mean..It would make sense to them right...

Most likely,

Their bodies may be here... but their heads are way up past the clouds.

Scientology, I only read into it because I'm a Top Gun and Risky Business fan.

Yup, it's funny how one can down play another and yet hold to there own falasiey's. Religion is based on faith not fact. The premises is always the same general rule of thumb.

Hmmm are we decendient's of space people

Did Ron al Hummard just do it for the $$$$$ yup me thinks so...

But that does not mean he's wrong.

i saw a south park ep of this and this is what i have to say.


OMFG PEOPLE ARE STUPID, SO F***ING STUPID, OMFG !!! WTF !?!?

Sceintology = ACC (American Commercialized Crap)

I heard Scientology was created by L Ron Hubbard on a bet. That he never really thought people would fall for it.

Poor poor poor Katie Holmes...she was so beautiful

She still is...but now she's even better..she's hot and CRAZY as hell....bet she's a freak...yea baby!!!!

to all stupid morons..o im sorry i mean Sceintologyists:

BAhahahhahahah OMG !! ahahahahahahaha ahah ha ha gahahalalgagbahahah.....

I was about to say "It sounds like a sci-fi book gone bad". . .Seriously. . .the moment you have to pay great deals of money to become part of a religion. . .the red flags should go up. . .and if they don't, the fact that there's an alien named Xenu or whatever that put souls in movie theaters ought to bring you to your senses. . .Seriously. . .when you join they must put you in front of a hypno beam or something. . What logical person would actually believe this crap? I agree with riotboy. They get so mad when we make fun of it, but c'mon, it's freakin hilarious. . . Besides, there were other religions before Christianity, so why do they make it a point to use Jesus, the devil, and God in these "movies"? Or were all of the ancient gods supposively used in them? Who cares, it's still hilarious. I wish Tom Cruise would come see this and explain what on earth possessed him to believe this crap. . .oh, wait, maybe one of his “body thetans” told him

Those fighting the Dark Lord and those who abandoned the quest.

Edit-There is no need to quote the full text of the person directly above you

Why not believe in this?

I think someone once said on this board,

"You'd believe in talking animals & people appearing from
dirt from the mainstream religions,
but you wouldn't believe in this? Why is that?"

It's all crap to me. Religion, I mean

i think i can comprihend talking animals, my bird has, but scientology? please, i could make a WAY better religion if i had the money and fame to back me up.

I don't believe this crap either but
I mean come on, A talking snake, a woman from a rib, a man from sand?

Religion makes it sound like we are
nothing but golems made from the earth to be gods little puppets.

Maybe they have refreshments after the service...thats why I go to church, free cookies and punch, yea!!!
