do me a favor,
if you have any balls at all,
go out on the street tomorrow and pretend you are a Seismologist,
approach a complete stranger and try to get them to come down and hear a lecture,
see what happens,
see if you can get somebody to listen for 1 minute,
i bet you can't do it,
but if you do manage to actually hold a conversation with somebody,
tell me what crazy stuff they have heard, because it is always amusing,

Most religions, for all their faults, will at least contribute something positive to the mix - " love thy neighbor", Golden Rule, etc.
But we're still waiting for Scientology's ONE positive contribution to society.

have not practiced for 40 years,
but i still remember how to run an L3rd list against a failed F/N after the 4th R3R command,
everybody at the Davis mission called him L Ron Hubcap,
we were just a bunch of hippies looking for the next big thing,
we got the tech and moved on, some stayed, but most returned to normal life,

A lot of people who play pretend for a living seem to be prominent among The Faithful. That's another good reason to steer clear of Scientology.

why is it a church?
because they Help people.
every Sat night we had Graduation.
people get up and tell their success stories,
saw a lot of people come in and change for the better,
most were much happier with their lives,
some were so overjoyed that they were almost too corny to listen to,
when you see so many people making gains, it is spiritual,
therefore i have no problem with the Church thing,
besides, don't we need a modern church?
the bible is cool and everything, but how old is it?

AA helps people, too. But they don't require you sign over to them all your material worth before they do it.
Big Church only wants ten percent tithe, and for that, Jesus makes the sun come up in the morning.

Unintended, but I'd say usenet after the cancelbot wars (usenet servers stopped accepting cancel messages after that).

Went to a great flamenco show tonight. I feel so much better about myself and the universe now. It was sort of organized and there was a collection and people were pretty rabid so I guess it was a religious experience.

Yes Chaz, I personally know three people that tried to leave Scientology and were abused, threatened and intimidated.
I do not need to read or hear or view anything on these nut cases who think DC-10s transported people across the universe.
I know three people (friends) who told me their stories, and the troubles they encountered by this cult group.
But why are you such a supporter of this cult?

yea, sprocker. i got a blister on my scroll finger now.
i think we've finally gotten spider to put some cards on the table, but there's a couple things wrong with his story.
one is the timeline. hubbard started this mofo in the early 50s. doesn't quite jibe with spider being in on the ground floor.
perhaps we've got a spider game going here. he caught the artful locker in a pretty web. watch him riggle and jiggle.
and then we hear that spider's "i like the christian life" thread a few months back was merely a "sympathy" gesture to the poor, persecuted christians whose beliefs are likewise ridiculed mercilessly on supertopo. i'll revisit all that after my blister heals.
let's suppose that chris really is a scientologist. let's suppose that, along with every other "religion" of any stature in the world, that it's basically a cargo cult on steroids, the result of contacts--carl sagan contact-type contacts--which genuinely happened--that is, if you can think of ufo contactee and abductee experiences as "genuine". i'll tell you one thing for sure. the people these things happen to sure think they're genuine, and they easily convince others of it.
people who have gotten high up in scientology, and then quit, have reported the "inside" story of mother hubbard's ET contacts. i'll bet you'll find the same sort of stuff in 2,000-year-old unpublished "scripture" behind the heavily guarded doors of the vatican library. it isn't really very exciting any more. swing low sweet chariot, adios ezikiel, half a dozen spielberg movies ... and yawn.
