Scientology and Aliens

[l0cke]

So. . .what’s the deal? I was talking to my buddy last night, and he told me that scientology has nothing to do with aliens. However. . .every other person I know makes the jump from scientology to aliens whenever we talk about it. I just read Cecil’s article on scientology and I didn’t find anything in there on aliens. . .

So. . .can someone else out there give me the straight dope on this?

Operation Clambake. In particular the information on Xenu.

Or you could just go watch Battlefield Earth.

It should be noted, however, tha the DC-8 was a jet.

From the column:

Even Cecil has been the target of the Scientologists’ wrath. Not long after my column on Scientology was published in the newspapers, I got a call from a radio show producer asking me to answer questions from listeners on the air. This happens fairly often and I didn’t give the timing much thought. When the first called lambasted me for dissing L. Ron, I started to get suspicious, and when every caller for the next half hour did the same I knew I’d been set up. Not that they laid a finger on me argument-wise. But swatting mosquitoes for 30 minutes isn’t my idea of fun.

Cecil’s voice has been recorded? :eek: But I thought…

Sure, his voice shows up on tape. It’s his reflection in a mirror that’s the trouble.

…

Okay, how do you think he’s still going after all this time?
