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

Well, from some dupes they get millions of dollars. From others, only 130 quid. Whatever. It all feeds the beast and keeps the crazy-wheels spinning. Congrats on doing your own small part.

“But you’re not Clear yet. We’re here to help! It’s going to take time and it’s going to take some sacrifice on your part. Let’s have a look in your wallet, then…”

Ah. The Twelfth Step.

Keep coming back. It works if you work it.

That would be easy for me to do. He was always my least favorite Raver.

Insane? No, at least not in my opinion. But if you work at self improvement, one day you may reach insanity.

Thetans are ghosts.

You could at least be a Freezoner. Scientologist tech, without the moneygrubbing Church, and the corporation of religious technology and so on. Still nonsense, but more like harmless nonsense.

Exactly what I was thinking. This is a witnessing version of JAQing off.

Wow I got a lot to catch up on in this thread.

I can tell you my views that make me Conservative but you probably won’t like them.

I believe that the Government should censor speech, press, media, and the internet because there are some things the general public don’t need to know and we need to protect our children from pornographic images. National Service should be brought back or at least some kind of non-voluntary military service regardless of gender. There should be laws regarding same gender sex for consenting adults and I think homosexuality should be made illegal. There should be harsher sentences for the possession and use of drugs. We need to implement a National ID card that must be carried and produced on request by any police officer and illegal immigrants arrested on the spot, detained and deported within 7 days. We should end corporate welfare and stop giving government handouts to business. We need to end government barriers to international free trade. We need to privatize social security and let people control their own retirement instead of wasting money on dead weight. Lastly we need to cut taxes and government spending by 50% or more.

In that case, please join Scientology.

If I form my own faith then it would be based on lies or a fictitious story because I have no faith in anything around me so that defeats the object of believing in something that is real .

You got me… Katie Holmes obviously, I am male after all…

So is Scientology. As fiction goes it couldn’t be more obvious. That’s also true of most of the other religions, but Scientology isn’t any less unbelievable.

Call back when you become an “Operating Thetan”-when you reach that level, you will have an IQ 0f 180, powers beyond belief, and no more pesky body thetans.
You will also be broke. But you will be happy.

Anybody who practices any form of religion or worship is a slave to their religion or God so how or why should Scientology different from other religions?

I was going to mention the oh so gentle tug on my leg I felt while reading the OP but, yeah, what you said.

Comedian. :smiley:

You’re being glib, Matt.

I don’t know the meaning of the word ‘glib’, can you explain and who is Matt? :confused:

Tom Cruise got into an argument about psychiatry with Matt Lauer on the Today Show once and one of the things he said was that Matt was being glib.

Now, I’d like to go back to the part where you were both not pressured to spend any money and also spent 130 pounds on an auditing session. Tell me more about that.

Glib

Google it. And when you’ve done that, let me know how you resolved that minor problem about the prophet thinking the universe is 300 trillion years old when science says is 14 billion.
