Scientology video channel’s credibility in question March 28, 2008
Posted by pseudoscientology in Daily Rant.1 comment so far
Muddy waters of fact and fiction meet as mysterious “dignitaries” and out-of-context quoting bring video channel’s legitimacy into question.
The Church of Scientology has refuted claims by an independent French news Web site, the Anonymous Group and the Enturbulation that a video posted to the church’s new Video Channel includes bogus or misleading footage of non-existent dignitaries singing the praises of the controversial religion’s youth humanitarian efforts.
The video in question – Human Rights, In Support of Human Rights – featured on the Scientology Video Channel includes more than 20 unnamed dignitaries from various political, cultural and educational occupations promoting the Youth for Human Rights campaign; a movement in which the Church of Scientology is only one of over 30 sponsors. Only the speakers distinguished job titles are offered to the viewers as a means for judging the credibility of the speaker’s statements.
Enturbulation, a source for information on activism against the Church of Scientology, features a thread posted by users that claims to have identified more speakers in the Scientology video whose identities or job titles are either false, fabricated or embellished.
So much for the “quest for truth.” If you buy into the “If it’s true for you…” system of Scientology reality, that has to include the closely held beliefs of every other person on the planet (and if numbers mean anything, that puts Scientologists WAY down near the bottom of the list, because what’s true for everyone else is NOT Scientology). “True for you” by virtue of its own definition leads to conflicting beliefs (Your truth is not MY truth). If Scientologists were seekers of truth, then they would be open to dialogue and a free exchange of ideas. As it is, they are NOT. Scilons view all criticism as an event that, according to their own “theology,” needs to be “handled”. They derail discussions by characterizing all criticism as religious bigotry, a distraction of their anti-psychologist agenda, or through comparison to other, larger religions (always with the assumption that the critic has no problem with these either). This is not truth-seeking. This is merely an attempt to cling to a belief system that is hopelessly unable to bear up under the slightest scrutiny.

Banned Scientology parody film ‘The Profit’ appears on Web March 24, 2008

Banned Scientology parody film ‘The Profit’ appears on Web
Copies of The Profit, a 2001 film blocked from distribution in the United States due to a court injunction won by the Church of Scientology, appeared on the Internet Friday on peer-to-peer file-sharing websites and on the video sharing site YouTube.
The film was released in August 2001, and was shown at a movie theater in Clearwater, Florida and at a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France. A Scientology spokesman gave a statement at the time saying “the movie is fiction and has nothing to do with Scientology”. The Church of Scientology later took legal action in an attempt to stop further distribution of the film. The Church of Scientology claimed that the film was intended to influence the jury pool in the wrongful death case of Scientologist Lisa McPherson, who died under Scientology care in Clearwater, Florida.
On the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology, a poster by the username “Alexia Death” commented on the film’s appearance on the Internet in the context of censorship: “It is out! And so it is a WIN if many people review it even if they say it SUCKS! … Being bad is no cause to allow censorship … And being censored is no cause to assume its good”. A post to the blog Blogsreel commented: “We have all wanted to see this movie that scientology kept hidden away from us. We have all wondered just how damning could this story be that we were banned from watching it.”
The Resurrection of Christ — this is the ‘heart’ of the Gospel March 24, 2008

The Resurrection of Christ — this is the ‘heart’ of the Gospel
by Roger S. Oldham — Baptist Press
The apostle Paul was in jail, not because he had done anything wrong, but because he refused to deny his Lord. The specter of death was imminent. Though his life was spared this time, within a few years he was martyred for his unwavering testimony that Jesus is the Savior of the world.
As he wrote a letter to his dearest friends, Paul declared his intense desire to know his Lord more intimately. His words are powerfully poignant: “I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death” (Philippians 3:10).
Paul understood something fundamental. The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central event of the Christian faith. It is the central message in the Christian witness. It is the source of the Christian’s hope and the strength of the Christian’s life.

After a day of yard work yesterday, I read all 612 pages (some are blank) of The Technical Bulletins of Dianetics and Scientology, Volume XIV THE O.T. LEVELS (yes, I’m an accomplished speed reader).
It is well known that very few Scilons ever even reach OT III, not to mention the possibility of OT VIII to X. And if the Clearwater Super Power Rundown Facility ever gets finished in Clearwater, fewer yet will experience its secret rituals. The more I read of these secrets from the Scilon archives, the more I am astounded that the dull imaginings of L. Ron Hubbard could ever attract a crowd even the size of amateur night at the comedy club. The grandiose claim that a spiritual event is actually occuring during the process of auditing is as ludicrous as “thinking” yourself “thin” without pushing back from the table. Is “something” happening during auditing? Sure. But it’s not anything spiritual or redeeming … it is part of an enormously complicated mechanism that L. Ron Hubbard created to make money. It gives you something to do but never allows you to achieve what it is you’re looking for. It’s merely a giant metaphorical “carrot” than one continues to chase while giving up wads of money that could be better spent in a thousand other ways.
As illustrated by the Technical Bulletin I read this weekend, there are thousands of words describing WHAT TO DO, and HOW TO DO IT … but not ONE about what is going to be the result. The tenants of Scientology focus on the life you spent before this one (reincarnation) and the life you get to spend AFTER this one, but ask them to offer you something for THIS life and it’s pretty much an “empty suit.” If you’re on the inside, ask yourself why the “Golden Age of Tech” has never come to pass, why is it that the routing forms seem like an endless merry-go-round, why is it that the magic of going OT never materializes, why is it that no one ever talks personally about their upper level OT auditing and their alleged State of Awareness, why is it that the truly poor, sick and disabled people of society find no aid from this “religion,” and why is it that every step on the backwards-moving sidewalk of “The Bridge” involves MORE AND MORE money?
Too many questions? Well isn’t that what a big part of life is all about? The person who doesn’t have questions isn’t much interested in his or her world. But to question Scientology is “anathema,” a Greek word meaning something ‘forbidden’ or ‘off limits.’ The truth is that Scientology, for all you are required to pay, can’t even deliver on the same level as some of the country’s least expensive self-improvement seminars.
Coming back to our discussion of the Technical Bulletins … I’d like to save the PC’s a lot of time and effort (PC … potential convert or Pre-Clear, take your choice), so just for the record … the only meaningful sentences in the entire 612 page document appear on the LAST page.
[Regarding Super Power Rundown] … At some point during the running of this series of processes the person will reach a state wherein they are speechless. They will laugh with wild abandon. Their TA will be floating! They will probably also be exterior and will be unable to communicate in words what they are experiencing. This is the end result of the Super Power Rundown. It is rare for this to occur prior to the running of the last flow of this series of processes, but if it occurs then acknowledge the win.
One thing the auditor must not do is interrupt the person while in the middle of this major win or during the laughter. Otherwise it will invalidate the win. The auditor simply maintains his TRs and lets the person have his win. Do not end the session until the laughter stops as this will also tend to invalidate the person and his win.
SPEECHLESSNESS & WILD LAUGHTER … at the end of the day, that’s all you get with Scientology.
[ludicrous: lu·di·crous – adjective; causing laughter because of absurdity; provoking or deserving derision; ridiculous; laughable]
[speechless: the opposite of communicative, or talkative; "talk" being defined as having the ability to process and verbalise ideas, to interact with others confidently; to navigate a conversation; to read cues of voice inflection and body language and to present a simple argument cogently.]
Scientology and Christianity March 23, 2008

A few comparisons.
New recruits to the Church of Scientology are told that they can practice their religion of choice and Scientology at the same time. The official introductory handbook “What is Scientology?” (1992) states (p 544): “In Scientology there is no attempt to change a person’s beliefs or to persuade him away from any religion to which he already belongs.”
“Scientology is all-denominational in that it opens its membership to people of all faiths.”
“Membership in Scientology does not mean that there is any necessity to leave your current church, synagogue, temple or mosque.”
“Scientology respects all religions. Scientology does not conflict with other religions or other religious practices” “The whole Christian movement is based on the victim. Compulsion of the overt-motivator sequence. They won by appealing to victims. We can win by converting victims. Christianity succeeded by making people into victims. We can succeed by making victims into people.”, HCOB 18 July, 1959, under “Historical Note”. Scientology believes that God exists, but goes on to say “As to the form in which He exists, we do not know” (Scientology: A World Religion, p. 17: What is Scientology, p. 200).
| Scientology says man is basically good | Christianity teaches that man is plagued by original sin (Romans 5:12) |
| The basic nature of Man is not bad. It is good. One should realize that as a possibility. The basic nature of Man itself is not at fault. But the basic primitive adventures of Man were violent and savage and, as Freud supposed, it is that imposed brutality which Man must hold in check.Living with the beasts of the jungle, caught at every hand by death and terror, early Man could not but develop brutal reactions. Murder and war were the commonplace. Man had not learned to control his environment and so he had to combat it. Every walk forth from his cave might mean death or battle. Every mischance might bring about catastrophe. Man had no choice to be anything but brutal and savage. Man is subjugated and made afraid, he is made brutal and wicked by basic instincts. In order to be civilized Man must repress those instincts. The moment he represses them he becomes sick. Thus the solution is impossible. Unless Man can reach inside himself and eradicate in some manner the things which make him kill and steal and make war. Can instincts be eradicated from the mind? They certainly can be and with less trouble than anyone ever suspected. | Genesis 1:1 (CEV) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.; Psalm 14:1-3 (CEV) Only a fool would say, “There is no God!” People like that are worthless; they are heartless and cruel and never do right. From heaven the LORD looks down to see if anyone is wise enough to search for him. But all of them are corrupt; no one does right; Gen. 2:7-8 (CEV) The LORD God took a handful of soil and made a man. God breathed life into the man, and the man started breathing. The LORD made a garden in a place called Eden, which was in the east, and he put the man there; Genesis 1:25-29 (CEV) God said, “Now we will make humans, and they will be like us. We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures.” So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women. God gave them his blessing and said: Have a lot of children! Fill the earth with people and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish in the ocean, the birds in the sky, and every animal on the earth. I have provided all kinds of fruit and grain for you to eat. And I have given the green plants as food for everything else that breathes. These will be food for Romans 5:12 (CEV) Adam sinned, and that sin brought death into the world. Now everyone has sinned, and so everyone must die. Galatians 3:22 (CEV) But the Scriptures say that sin controls everyone, so that God’s promises will be for anyone who has faith in Jesus Christ. |
| Scientology accepts reincarnation | Christianity rejects it (Hebrews 9:27) and holds to the resurrection of the body. |
| Scientology dismisses the reality of hell | Christianity accepts it as the final destination of all who reject Jesus Christ (Revelation 20:10-14) |
| Scientology rejects the divinity of Jesus Christ | Christianity believes Jesus is absolute deity (John 1:1), the divine Messiah who is the unique only begotten Son of God and Savior of mankind. |
| Scientology accepts occult “out-of-body” experiences | Christianity condemns all forms of occultism (Deuteronomy 18:10-12) |
| Theta. This is the dynamic towards the preservation of the body of energy sometimes called God . . . call it anything you want to, there is that something which man has always striven toward. He has a certain faith that he becomes imbued with and which makes it possible for him to do things that he never would have dreamed of doing before. To a boy whose life is all wrapped up in electronics and who is sitting on the edge of a cyclotron, God may well be a cyclotron. To an author, God might be a book, and to a mechanic God might seem to be a very fine racing car. But these would be rather short-sighted views for each individual. | The Bible declares there is one true God, the Creator of the universe and all that is therein. He is knowable and personal by His creators. He transcend (is outside of) both time and space. He is sovereign over all creation.
and there is no god beside Him Even though He is both righteous and just, He is portrayed in Scripture as compassionately toward His people. He is a loving God toward all mankind |
| “An enemy… may be injured by any means or tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.”- L. Ron Hubbard, Penalties for Lower Conditions, HCO PL 18 Oct 67 “This is the correct procedure:1. Spot who is attacking us.
2. Start investigating them promptly for FELONIES or worse using our own professionals, not outside agencies. 3. Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them. 4. Start feeding lurid, blood sex crime actual evidence on the attackers to the press. DON’T EVER tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make it rough, rough on attackers all the way.” - L.

Life has meaning and significance because God loves us.
Matthew Henshaw got his name into the Guinness Book of World Records in an unusual way. After swallowing a 15.9-inch sword, Henshaw attached a 40-pound sack of potatoes to the handle of the sword and held it for 5 seconds. (This is not recommended.)
Henshaw and others like him have gone to extraordinary lengths to have their names memorialized in the world’s most famous record book. The longing for immortality compels people to do many things — some remarkable, some bizarre and some very expensive.
The immortality Jesus offers has nothing to do with anything we do or can pay for. In fact, after giving His disciples the authority to do truly remarkable things (Luke 10:17-19), Jesus said, “Do not rejoice . . . that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven” (v.20).

Defamer has learned that executives at Sony tried to have an MSNBC story outing Will Smith as a closeted Scientologist killed. With the Smith tentpole Hancock slated for a July release, execs are clearly worried their big summer blockbuster will turn into another Mission:Impossible 3 conundrum, when Tom Cruise’s anything-but-glib antics spurred petitions against the film and damaged the film’s B.O. on both the domestic and international fronts.

EDITOR NOTE: But at least he knows they’re coming for him. Or at least he OUGHT TO KNOW, since he’s a student of ALL religions and certainly is an expert. But wait, he says he’s a CHRISTIAN!?? What the #@%*#!! Raised in a Baptist household, this is the same guy who said recently about his wacky friend’s religion … “I’ve talked to Tom about it. (There’s) lots of incredible, wonderful concepts (but, my wife) Jada and I don’t necessarily believe in organized religion.” But then, combine that with this comment, and you have a simple mathmatical concept … “…ninety-eight percent of the principles [in Scientology] are identical to the principles of the Bible.” O.K. — I get it! SCIENTOLOGY = CHRISTIANITY (within 2% commercial tolerance). Nice one, Will … you’re a student of “WHAT” again?
Will Smith says just because he’s a Friend of Tom doesn’t mean he’s a Scientologist … not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Smith tells Rush & Molloy, “You don’t have to be Jewish to be a friend of Steven Spielberg. You don’t have to be a Muslim to be a friend of Muhammad Ali. And you don’t have to be a Scientologist to be a friend of Tom Cruise.” So what is Smith, anyway? “I am a Christian. I am a student of all religions.”

Was L. Ron Hubbard just another chubby religious guru like Buddha? After all, he DID think of himself as a living reincarnation — the Maitreya Buddha supposedly prophesied to appear by Gautama Buddha.
How is it that the ridiculously complicated mechanism he invented, called Scientology, is believed to be a Bridge to ANYTHING or ANYWHERE (I’m asking seriously)? How many CoS followers can actually say they’ve reached a state where they can “…control themselves and their environment?” Most people would call that claim one of extreme arrogance. Perhaps it could be illustrated by taking a lifelong course in computer programming, only to find out near the “end” that all you can do is some simple coding in “BASIC” (but you’re convinced that you’ve reached the zenith of computer coding). What happens to your logic, judgment and reasoning ability? Are you kept in such a tight little cocoon that you cannot see “the forest for the trees?” (more…)

Well, if you were David Miscavige, Commander of the Scilon Federation, you might use it to play the stock market or buy into oil wells, you might do a little gambling with it, and you would definitely spare NO EXPENSE when it came to the “Keep Tom Cruise Happy Fund.” I can’t even imagine how much of that TAX-FREE money is spent on entertainment expenses. And you Scientologist faithful are content with bankrolling this stuff.

David Miscavige elevates the term “terminological inexactitude” to a respectable status!
[when using this link, see second story down on the Fox News site]
EDITOR NOTE: We’ve seen this video before but were unaware that Miscavige had referred to Ms. Simmons as a distributor of The Way To Happiness. Seems as though she has a little problem with that … as her publicist says, “We have nothing to do with this.” We all SHOULD have a problem with that. Truth just seems too elusive a concept for the Church of Scientology to wrap their collective head around. And speaking of wrapping your head around something … try to pay close attention to Miscavige’s dialogue leading up to the mention of Ms. Simmons … if ever there were self-authenticating proof of criminal stupidity, this would be the evidence admitted in court!
Kimora Lee Simmons — celebrity designer, ex-wife of Russell Simmons and great beauty — is not happy with Scientology.
On Thursday, we had to call her press person and inform her that Kimora is being featured in a new Scientology promotional video. The sect’s chief, David Miscavige, can be seen in the video telling followers that Simmons has been distributing the group’s “Way to Happiness” propaganda pamphlet in New Jersey and Los Angeles.

ST. PETERSBURG – A Tampa Police Department bomb squad detonated a suitcase containing a Bible, clothing and personal items behind a Church of Scientology building.
The Church of Scientology reported a suspicious package behind its building at 336 1st Ave. N. in St. Petersburg, police say.
The squad blew up the package just after 5 p.m. Proffit said it contained a Bible, clothing and personal items.
Scientology lawyers in tears: The report of the suspicious package came this afternoon at about the same time Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge W. Douglas Baird denied an injunction the church sought to stop the Internet-based group Anonymous from protesting outside Scientology’s headquarters in Clearwater this weekend.

Well … there’s one thing you can say about the leaders of Scientology: they never miss an opportunity to “blow up” over any imagined threat to their tiny island of religious impoverishment. I mean their air raid signals are going full blast right now - you’d think it was the start of WWIII. The picture below illustrates the “this is your brain on Dianetics” version of current events.

Scientology fights back in court
The church is seeking a restraining order to stop a new round of protests.

The petition was filed just before the close of court Tuesday afternoon, and the St. Petersburg Times could not obtain a copy of the petition.
Pat Harney, a spokeswoman for the Church of Scientology in Clearwater, confirmed the church had filed a request for a temporary restraining order, but on the advice of counsel, she refused to provide a copy of the lawsuit or discuss who it seeks to restrain. (more…)
