Scientology

[Shepard]

You heard of this. even if you spend all your time wathing old episodes of full house, youv'e learned about scientology. Now I don't beleive in any thing for chance of being wrong. What do you think.

[OverlordBill]

It's bullshit like every other religion out there. Except for Flying Spaghetting Monsterism. May you be forever touched by His Noodly Appendage. RAmen.

[Impossible]

Now, see, here's the problem. You don't know the history of psychology. I do.

[RentACop]

Impossible. Impossible, Impossible, you don't even....you're being glib.

[Impossible]

I bet you think you're so special just because you can look up crappy complicated sounding words on the Internet. But geez,
when you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that. And I wonder how many more Tom Cruise quotes I can jam in here.

My favorite part of scientology is as follows:

The story of Xenu is covered in OT III, part of Scientology's secret "Advanced Technology" doctrines taught only to advanced members. It is described in more detail in the accompanying confidential "Assists" lecture of 3 October 1968.

75 million years ago, Xenu was the ruler of a Galactic Confederacy which consisted of 26 stars and 76 planets including Earth, which was then known as Teegeeack. The planets were overpopulated, each having on average 178 billion people. The Galactic Confederacy's civilization was comparable to our own, with people "walking around in clothes which looked very remarkably like the clothes they wear this very minute" and using cars, trains and boats looking exactly the same as those "circa 1950, 1960" on Earth.

Artist's impression of one of Xenu's space planes, per Hubbard's description. Xenu was about to be deposed from power, so he devised a plot to eliminate the excess population from his dominions. With the assistance of "renegades", he defeated the populace and the "Loyal Officers", a force for good that was opposed to Xenu. Then, with the assistance of psychiatrists, he summoned billions of people to paralyse them with injections of alcohol and glycol, under the pretense that they were being called for "income tax inspections". The kidnapped populace was loaded into space planes for transport to the site of extermination, the planet of Teegeeack (Earth). The space planes were exact copies of Douglas DC-8s, "except the DC-8 had fans, propellers on it and the space plane didn't." DC-8s have jet engines, not propellers, although Hubbard may have meant the turbine fans.

When the space planes had reached Teegeeack, the paralysed people were unloaded and stacked around the bases of volcanoes across the planet. Hydrogen bombs were lowered into the volcanoes, and all were detonated simultaneously. Only a few people's physical bodies survived. Hubbard described the scene in his abortive film script, Revolt in the Stars:

Simultaneously, the planted charges erupted. Atomic blasts ballooned from the craters of Loa, Vesuvius, Shasta, Washington, Fujiyama, Etna, and many, many others. Arching higher and higher, up and outwards, towering clouds mushroomed, shot through with flashes of flame, waste and fission. Great winds raced tumultuously across the face of Earth, spreading tales of destruction. Debris-studded, and sickly yellow, the atomic clouds followed close on the heels of the winds. Their bow-shaped fronts encroached inexorably upon forest, city and mankind, they delivered their gifts of death and radiation. A skyscraper, tall and arrow-straight, bent over to form a question mark to the very idea of humanity before crumbling into the screaming city below...
—Revolt in the Stars treatment
The now-disembodied victims' souls, which Hubbard called thetans, were blown into the air by the blast. They were captured by Xenu's forces using an "electronic ribbon" ("which also was a type of standing wave") and sucked into "vacuum zones" around the world. The hundreds of billions of captured thetans were taken to a type of cinema, where they were forced to watch a "three-D, super colossal motion picture" for 36 days. This implanted what Hubbard termed "various misleading data" (collectively termed the R6 implant) into the memories of the hapless thetans, "which has to do with God, the Devil, space opera, etcetera". This included all world religions, with Hubbard specifically attributing Roman Catholicism and the image of the Crucifixion to the influence of Xenu. The interior decoration of "all modern theaters" is also said by Hubbard to be due to an unconscious recollection of Xenu's implants. The two "implant stations" cited by Hubbard were said to have been located on Hawaii and Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.

In addition to implanting new beliefs in the thetans, the images deprived them of their sense of identity. When the thetans left the projection areas, they started to cluster together in groups of a few thousand, having lost the ability to differentiate between each other. Each cluster of thetans gathered into one of the few remaining bodies that survived the explosion. These became what are known as body thetans, which are said to be still clinging to and adversely affecting everyone except those Scientologists who have performed the necessary steps to remove them.

The Loyal Officers finally overthrew Xenu and locked him away in a mountain, where he was imprisoned forever by a force field powered by an eternal battery. (Some have suggested that Xenu is imprisoned on Earth in the Pyrenees, but Hubbard merely refers to "one of these planets" [of the Galactic Confederacy]; he does, however, refer to the Pyrenees as being the site of the last operating "Martian report station", which is probably the source of this particular confusion.) Teegeeack/Earth was subsequently abandoned by the Galactic Confederacy and remains a pariah "prison planet" to this day, although it has suffered repeatedly from incursions by alien "Invader Forces" since then.

As you can see, the guy that made it (Scientology) was a failed Sci-fi writer on crack.

As long as Impossible mentioned Tom Cruise. he says theres no such thing as a chemical imbalance, which might be true nobody knows what he was doing when he talked about katie holmes on oprah.(Which by the way proved he is an overactor) i mean come on were talkin about the guy who was in Cocktail......COCKTAIL!!!!!

[Impossible]

Some people, well, if they don't like Scientology, well, then, fuck you. Really. Fuck you. Period.

[HolsteinCow]

Well L. Ron Hubbard was still a good satirist.

[Shepard]

im really not poud of this topic ..... just shut it down.

No i mean it, I just wanted to see tom cruise quotes but impossible put that link up so

[HolsteinCow]

Some people, well, if they don't like Scientology, well, then, fuck you. Really. Fuck you. Period.

You did it wrong.

It's "Fuck you. Period."

[Glenn47]

This topic is now beyond your control!! Naha! Naha! Only those with the Adaminian Crest may destroy topics! Nahaha!


BTW: Teegeeack, wow. How could someone believe in a religion where you live on Teegeeack, there's a main villain named Xenu, and he's "imprisoned forever by a force field powered by an eternal battery."

Actually, there's a passage I read on this that perked my interest. Allow me to give a small quote.

"And Meldock said to Gildran, you will kill your son Enlainzer. And so it was that the Galactic Confederacy did smote Xenu in the year of the laser-targeting hand-rifle. Later that year, the Zerg destroyed the Confederacy, leaving them in shambles. Kerrigan took her place at the throne, and Duran seemed to be missing..."

I'd go on, but you all know the rest anyway. Gildran's revenge, Meldock's legacy falling, and if you bought the expansion set, Einlainzer's Secret Quest.

[Impossible]

"Fuck you. Period."

I'm pretty sure that was in there.

[HolsteinCow]

No, it's the same as it was except the period after "period" was colored red.

[Thalog]

It's a body just like the catholic church, simply for the purpose of collecting money. I'd rather not put faith in something that was coined by a famous modern day author.
