SEXY starlet Jenna Elfman has gotten so deeply into Scientology that her main goal these days is to help it take over the world. Scientology "is a complete understanding of what is happening on the planet right now," Elfman, best known for her role on "Dharma & Greg," told Scientology magazine Celebrity. She boasts that she's on the second-to-last "Operating Thetan" or "OT" level in the organization's hierarchy.
Elfman says you must devote yourself to Scientology or "you could be dead." Fellow celeb Scientologists include Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Lisa Marie Presley.
Scientologists who reach "OT 3" are told about "Xenu," a galactic ruler who paralyzed humans and sent them back to Earth in spaceships 75 million years ago, reports CultNews.com, which closely follows the faith. They were then arranged around a volcano and murdered with H-bombs, but their souls are still hanging around and are known as "Body Thetans" or "BTs."
Scientology devotees pay big bucks to "clear" themselves of the BTs' negative influence through a series of costly courses. Elfman tells the magazine her "duty" is now to help "clear the planet." She declares, "I intend to make Scientology as accessible to as many people as I can, and that is my goal."
Elfman's career hasn't exactly taken off like Xenu's spaceship, however. Since "Dharma & Greg" was canceled, she's appeared in a series of flops. This she seems to attribute to what Scientologists call "Suppressive People" or "SPs."
"The more successful I became, the more suppression I bumped into," Elfman says. "Especially in the entertainment industry, which is really home to rabid suppression . . . I don't have time as a leader, as an OT and as an artist to be suppressed.

I'm neither hot nor bothered. Just stating the facts.
An opinion is not a fact, dude--including yours. Get over yourself. Later.
Most people's aren't, mine are. ;^]
Well I'll say this about Applewhite, at least he really believed in what he was saying, whereas Hubbard was just a huckster looking to make a buck.
Ellison also fell for the claims of Chevron F310 (the car idling in the clear balloon)....
what?????
I have no idea what you mean.
At the time Ellison was writing a column in what was called the “Los Angeles Free Press”, something I imagine was along the lines of the hippie rags you can pick up nowadays while going out the door of Tower Records.
Ellison was naïve enough to fall for it, and recommended it to all his readers and friends, and was rightfully hammered for it. Ellison’s a helluva writer, but he’s only human, and he could be had. (I think he exhibited the same naïveté over Hubbard).
You can read it in “The Other Glass Teat” ( beginning in column 54, dated 2/20/70).
Despite his political bent, Ellison could many times be spot-on about Television, and for me his piece about sordid beauty pageants and little girls (column 77, dated 9/4/70) became synonymous after the murder of JonBenet Ramsey.
You were merely informed of the existance of Xenu. To properly know Xenu you must do the work. Nothing in this life, even Scientology, comes easy.
not true. I find making snide comments on news forums comes very easily to me. see?
;) (i just love fridays...)
Beauty fades, ditzy's forever.
