I watched the HBO special on Scientology. It's far worse than I thought, L Ron was insane. Literally nuttier than a fruitcake. What a F'd up organization, how can anybody take their pile of crap seriously. I was embarrassed for the former members telling all in the video. Humans are so gullible. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I feel sorry for anybody in scientology Nearby Clearwater is home to "Flag" , a massive building known as the "super powers building" They supposedly teach super powers. Walking around Clearwater is like an episode of the Twilight Zone Just really weird and bizarre as you see hundreds of scientologists walking around. They are all essentially slaves. Easy to spot, they all dress the exact same. They all live in the same compound, bussed to Flag to work all day, bussed back to the apt complex compound to sleep and do it again next day. Really sad :-( Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

America -- where you're free to become a slave. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

They said on the HBO special some Scientology people make 50 cents an hour and live in slumlord company apartments and basically eat garbage. And do it willingly. After they get away from it, they say it's like they were in a dreamworld, they can't imagine why they would live like that. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Some sheep want to be led, this is no unique case. Look at Jim Jones and how many people he had signing over welfare checks to him as they lived in his commune virtual slaves. Look at how many people want to give up how much money for the secular religion of Global Warming as its purveyors live the rich life in mansions.

Scientology is to religion what Trump is to politics: a means fo making something truly terrible even worse. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Obviously, they should have used some 'cover' since it would have only cost them at most 3.32 percent to do so. |
