I just became a Scientologist. Dang it. I got curious about Dianetics and got hooked.

[King Coal]

I have a few words to say to that BBC reporter from Panorama.

[meegbear]

1. Can you get me John Travolta's autograph?

[King Coal]

7. Us Scientologists don't bug each other. P.S. I now hate psychiatry.

[Ian David]

2. I'm too suppressive and glib to be a $cientologist. And besides...

... most other religions to charge as much money for salvation.

[TwilightGardener]

3. I should consider it--their navy-blue pilot uniforms KICK ASS! I look good in navy.

[whistle]

4. Are you hoping to make a fortune or give away your fortune or

...are you just looking to get laid? :shrug:

[King Coal]

5. No, I'm doing it to free my soul.

Getting laid is just a freebie.

[Danieljay]

6. Are you nuts or just rich enough to give away your money for so called enlightenment? n/t

[King Coal]

8. I wasn't using my money anyway. Besides, they can use it.

[zanne]

9. Can you get close enough to Tom Cruise...

To sock him in the mouth for me?

[King Coal]

11. I'm only on level one, I don't get to see Tom yet.

[Dr. Strange]

10. Xenu damn it!

Lost another one.

[MichaelHarris]

12. Is

the inside of the Mother Ship as nice as they say?

[blondeatlast]

19. Some people say it's PVC on level 1 and Fine Corinthian Leather up in the Cruise/Travolta zone. nt

[sam sarrha]

[JuniperLea]

[ProgressiveFool]

18. No, no, no! You're supposed to get "Hooked on Phonics", not Dianetics! /nt

[sam sarrha]

20. you can get a copy of Dianetics for 38 cents on Amazon.com

[juno jones]

22. Why pay money at all

Just grab one of the half-dozen copies in the library giveaway pile. If your library doesn't have one of those, steal it from the local thriftstore, they can't seem to sell them anyway...

edit to add: You can discover anything mystic scientology teaches you thru just about any valid spiritual system like meditation. Those 'tricks' that the scientologists brag of, like OBE, levitation etc. are, IIRC, called 'siddas' in systems like buddhism. The Christians would call them 'graces' of one form or another. They are a side effect of 'spiritual advancement'. However these (and other) systems warn against developing these powers simply for the sake of having them. Scientology's fascination with egoistic practice makes it a very unbalanced and particularly dangerous system. If you are serious, I recommend hunting down the full writings of the organization which are publically and legally held by the Swedish Government, or if you like the ride wilder, they are availiable as pirate copies all over the internet.

If you really dig lying to other people and calling them 'wogs', you'll really enjoy being a scientologist.
