Same sentiments uttered by Stalin.

That "Fishman" link in the story didn't work. This is David Touretzky's site on Scientology. Interesting stuff on there.

xenu.net is the main anti-Scientology website out there.

Not really surprising. Scientology, or more properly Dianetics, started as a school of quack psychiatry. They became a "religion" to get the government off their backs about practising medicine without a license.

NOBODY has ever uttered this same question more than Bubba Clinton.

And the weirdest part? New converts to Scientology's Sea Org (organization) sign a contract with a term of one billion years, over multiple lifetimes.

Well, in all fairness it takes at least half-a-billion years to get rid of all your outer space alien cooties.

Well that sucks. I was looking forward to maxing out all of my credit cards and popping for the full Emperor's Package at Caesar's Palace right before I kick the bucket. Then, when I come back, voila! Shiny new credit rating, all those annoying police reports in my past no longer apply to me, etc.

;)

...members sign documents giving up their right to psychiatric care.

Totally agree.

When those geeks approached me back in the 60's they would always point out someone there who had 'made millions' with $cientology.

Money seemed to be the only driving force!
Freaks!

I had the same problem with Amway.

(Honest disclosure statement: I was an amway dealer so I have the right to make amway jokes)

The "church" is under scrutiny for this practice and is being sued by the family of Lisa McPherson, who died in 1995 in Clearwater, Fla., allegedly after being held for 17 days as she underwent an "Introspection Rundown."

Looks like Scientology is making a big push in Florida

FLORIDA POLITICIANS AND OFFICIALS  LENDING UNDUE CREDIBILITY TO SCIENTOLOGY

From a recent St. Petersburg Times editorial: Some Tampa Bay area public figures who lately have sounded like supporters and defenders of the [Scientology] church - including Pinellas County Commissioner Susan Latvala and political consultant Mary Repper - should know of those hazards. So should Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio, who accepted campaign support from Scientologists earlier this year and recently had dinner with actor Tom Cruise, a celebrity Scientologist, at Repper's house.

Greta Van Susturn (sp??) and her husband and Scientologists. So is the wife "King of Queens". Hyde on "That 70's Show" is one, too.
