I'm Considering joining the Church of Scientology! Am I insane?

Or he can practice mindfulness, moderation, and non-attachment even with respect to alcohol if he wishes.

You can’t just dip a toe into the pool of Scientology. You need to tie a dive belt around your neck and leap head first into the deep end. You won’t regret your decision. Becoming clear will inflate your IQ and likely make you telepathic. But, that is nothing compared to the rewards you receive if you join SeaOrg.

This!

What say you, OP?

If you had your choice of whom you spend next weekend with, which would you chose:

Katie Holmes or the Scientologists ?

Get back with us then we’ll confirm / deny your sanity

Frankly, anyone who would even consider joining the COS has more than a few loose screws. But heck, if you want to become a slave, go right ahead! Elron Hubbard himself described his creation as “a new way of making slaves”.

Has anyone actually read Dianetics? Is it any good?

It starts with some observational psychology, that while it makes a few good points, tends to extrapolate them into fairly unsubstantiated grounds. It then devolves into some more conjecture with virtually no merit or proof. It gets worse from there.
Was a best seller for quite some time as it was a vehicle for laundering money by COS, did a pretty good job of that, actually.

I did, until MEGO set in.

Splitter.

You can get audited by the IRS for free and any penalties will be cheaper.

I would seriously look into the Church of Dudeism. It’s as good a philosophy as any other religion and it’s a pretty laid back crowd.

Heh. I love threads like this!

It’s interesting to read the comments of other posters who inexplicably do not feel the gently, yet oh so obviously wafting breeze :slight_smile:

we feel the breeze. it’s refreshing.

I wanna change my vote now. Where’s the button where I change my vote? Maybe on the other side of this bridge. Wait, what’s under there? Something kinda ugly but at the same time, it has an innocence to it. I think it’s just a baby one.

I’m not sure one wouldn’t be better off with a Jungian analyst.

Wait. You’re in the UK, right? Go talk to Arthur. Arthur Uther Pendragon, real guy, neo-pagan, may or may not be the present incarnation of King Arthur, rides a motorcycle. His sort of paganism is not as structured as Scientology, but it’s a lot easier on the pocketbook. Which means more money for strong drink.

If Tom Cruise is your hero, dive on in. If you think he is batshit insane, run for the border.

want to directly discuss this with you. do not want to hijack. solutions?

Raelism! i’m that now. thanks for the link. my life suddenly makes total sense.

first order of business will be proposing design changes to their symbology.

Start another thread.

Or is there even a choice in the matter?
