bump for later....
Sorry. I can't read this. My Thetans had a conference call with Xenu and decided that it's *clear* I should not be reading this.
:P
bump for later deprogramming
the more I hear of Scientology, the less amused I am by it.
How does one leave the Church of Scientology? Seems like they'd send goons.
Are they trying to say Xenu isnt real? That Xenu didnt appear to L Ron Hubbard at the burning bush?
Ok. Just understand that the “church” of Scientology is not a Church in any real respect – just as the Rajneesh Foundation International wasn’t a church.
Whatever.
Soviet citizens who couldn't tow the party line always had the option of "re-education."
“tow the line” s/b “toe the line”
You might want to incorporate the change in your copyrighted material, that’s all.
A very scary and destructive cult.
You should hear Frank Zappa's parody... the Church of Appliantology.
You are a latent appliance fetishist, it appears to me.
?
The following is from the Album _Joe's_Garage_, by Frank Zappa.
"For once, [Joe] does something SMART...he goes out...and pays a lot
of money to L. Ron Hoover...at the *First Church of Appliantology*!
Arriving at L. RON HOOVER's modernistic office/cathedral/
warehouse/condominium complex, JOE is greeted by a pre-recorded
message and a dramatically illuminated image on a wall-sized TV
screen...
L RON HOOVER: Welcome to the First Church of Appliantology! The
WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only!
JOE seeks The Answer to his problem...
JOE: Oh oh oh
Mystical Advisor
What is my problem, tell me
Can you see?
L. Ron Hoover: Well, you have nothing to fear, my son!
You are a *Latent Appliance Fetishist*,
It appears to me!
Joe: That all seems very, very strange.
I never crazed a toaster
Or a color TV.
L. Ron: A *Latent Appliance Fetishist*
Is a person who *refuses to admit to his or herself*
that sexual gratification can only be achieved
Through the use of MACHINES...
Get the picture?
Joe: Are you telling me I should come out of the closet now
Mr. Ron?
L. Ron: No, my son! You must go *into* THE CLOSET
And you will have A lot of fun!
That's where they all live
So if you want an
Appliance to love you
You'll have to go in there
'N' get you one
Joe: Well...that seems simple enough....
L. Ron: Yes, but if you want a really GOOD one,
You'll have to learn a foreign language...
Joe: German, for instance?
L. Ron: That's right...
A lot of really cute ones come from over there!
(fifty bucks, please).
And a cheerful group of Appliantologists dance into the room wearing
aluminum foil lab smocks, lock arms in a circle around JOE, making
sure he pays in full....
*big sardonic grins*
Yeah the amazing part is that that's from the 1970s... he saw so clearly some things that are just becoming obvious today.
Zappa was/is no idiot.
we could start our own religion and make big money
"The departure from reality, which was visibly spreading like a contagion, was no peculiarity of the National Socialist regime. But in normal circumstances people who turn their backs on reality are soon set straight by the mockery and criticism of those around them, which makes them aware they have lost credibility. In the Third Reich there were no such correctives, especially for those who belonged to the upper stratum. On the contrary, every self-deception was multiplied as in a hall of distorting mirrors, becoming a repeatedly confirmed picture of a fantastical dream world which no longer bore any relationship to the grim outside world"
Hehe... Sounds lke the Dem's and Lefties to me.
Sadly, Uncle Frank died a few years back of prostate cancer.
(And you are right: He was sharp)
Before I became a Chrstian, I once gave my nephew a copy of DIANETICS for his birthday...an old Girlfriend once told me I should read it, I never did, but thought it was just a self help book of some kind.
he has been searching for another copy for my birthday ever since just to rub it in my face...
We all have a good laugh over it! :)
