To: null and voidonce out...why would anyone want back in to the religion that worships Xemu or Xenu or whatever?
my take on this cult is that it is EST with aliens...(or is EST, scientology without Aliens)
I do love the south park take on it called “Trapped in the Closet” (seems Tom Cruise wont come out...)

If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.)To: VaqueroFirst off, scientology doesn't worship Xemu, or Xenu, both spellings are used.Xemu is regarded as an ancient Pol Pot/Hitler/Genghis Khan ultimate bad guy. One who has so badly bruised the human psyche that the damage done 75 million years ago still lingers to this day, and makes life on Earth a living Bedlam.
Second off, the data regarding Xemu are only found on OT-III and above. This data is NEVER EVER EVER discussed or disclosed to anyone on the lower levels. Scientology dogma says that the mere mention of this to someone not fully prepared by having worked their way up through the lower levels will cause the recipient to die (of restimulation caused pneumonia, for example).
Despite the second point, even beginning scientologists know that the world is a loony bin, and that through some process scientology offers the (only) hope of adding some sanity, both personal and societal, to the mix.
If one believes that, then one is very motivated to be a part of saving the world.
Also, I too liked that South Park episode, everything they say scientologists believe is true of any scientologists who have been exposed to OT-III and above only. They did leave out some of the more interesting details, the ones that make scientology actively dangerous to the environment...
