F***ing Scientologists

  I spent some time on the official scientology website today www.scientology.org,  interesting, and creepy.  By interesting I mean it is interesting  that it says absolutely nothing about what the core dogma of the church is.  Apparently this knowledge is only available to OT level VII or something members who have paid thousands for courses  and auditing sessions and years of time that leave you, well "a little off."  Apparently for most, at this point when they hit you with the insanity that is Scientology, you are so mind fucked, and you have spent so much money, you just stick with it.  If you type in any words that have anything to do with their dogma in the search portion of their site, nothing comes up.   Words like "Xenu" or "aliens" or "hydrogen bombs" render no results.   

  I'm sure many of you know the basic dogma behind scientology, but for those who don't I'll give you a quick overview:

   There was an alien named Xenu (or Xemu, no one really knows because L Ron Hubbard hand wrote this crap down on a small piece of paper and it is difficult to determine if it is a N or M in the name) who was part of the galactic confederacy 75 million years ago.  This confederacy was made up of 75 or so planets, and 25 or so stars.  Some of the planets were getting to overpopulated, and so Xenu kidnapped billions of aliens from various planets and brought them to earth in a bunch of spaceships that very closely resembled  our DC-8 aircrafts on earth today (this is very specific).  Xenu froze the aliens and placed them in or around volcanos in Hawaii.  Xenu then blew up all the aliens with hydrogen bombs.  But, the aliens did not die, they  turned into "spirits" or "souls" called thetans.  Xenu then mind fucked the thetans by forcing them to watch videos that filled their heads with a bunch of bat shit crazy pohilosophies (which is considered by scientologists the reason for all bad religion, the bad in people, basically thetans = "the bad in us&quotEye-wink.

   The thetans then lerked around the planet for a while before finding humans to be their hosts.  The thetans attached themselves to the humans and that is the reason for our shortcummings.  Dianetics is the process of getting rid of the thetans in which an E-meter (some device that reads stress waves?) is used in sessions called "auditing" to slowly get rid of the thetans.  This is blantant mind munipulation. 

There is much more specifics, I coudn't be bothered to learned any more,  but this is the gist of it.  Not a single word of this is on their official website, and many newcomers don't hear about this for years (untill you are considered "clear" by the church, as in free of thetans), what a bunch of creeps.      

 

   To any Christians (and I'm sure many did) who were reading this and thought to themselves "wow, what a crock, that just sounds like a stupid story, so obviously made up, it's just silly, Xenu and thetans and e-meters, what a joke."  What you are thinking/fealing about the rediculous dogma of Scientology is exactly what every rational thinking person thinks/feels about you and your silly little story, and how unimaginably rediculous it is that you just picked a silly story, and said "yyyup, I believe this one."   Is the existence of Xenu any less possible than the god of abraham, or allah.  Is the existence of thetans any less possible than demons.  Is it really any less possible that some guy named L Ron Hubbard had a special connection with space aliens in the 20th century and brought forth truths of it, than some guy named Jesus from 2000 years ago had some special connection to some god named Yahweh and brought forth truths of it.  No, they are equally silly stories.  No evidence exists that either are truth.  What do you think, that was a pretty silly story wasn't it?

I made it all the way up to Wizard and Glass on the Dark Tower series and by the time that the next book came out, I had actually lost interest. At the time the third book ended, I  was highly pissed at having to wait for so long. I kept meaning to pick his stuff up again but never did. Heard the series ended kinda disappointing though.

Hehe, I read author Joe Hill's two books, a little over a year ago. I saw his picture on the back of the cover and thought "Damn that dude looks like Stephen King,". But didn't realize there was a good reason, he was Stephen King's son.

 

I have to agree that Wizard and Glass was the last decent one, and by the time the next one came out I think I read it as an E-book on my computer (not the same for some reason).  It all kind of went downhill from there.  I didn't mind reading them, and I enjoy the way he tries to subtly tie in all those little bits from previous stories but nothing can equal the passion of the first book.  You could feel the commercialism in every paragraph.  It almost felt like I should be reading commercials in between chapter.  The last book raises an eyebrow because he tried some new techniques but... You'd have to read it and make up your own mind.  If you read the first four I suggest you finish it, beats watching made for TV movies Smiling.
