That wouldn't be allowed.

Scientologists are only allowed to go online if they are using a computer that has their own 'net nanny' software installed on it which blocks them from visiting sites containing information critical of the cult, or certain words/phrases considered 'entheta'.

I don't know how many of you saw the american news investigation into Scientology, but there's some excellent insights here: http://www.kesq.com/Global/category.asp?C=162474

Perhaps I should join the Church of Scientology so I too can be free of my moral corruption and spiritual bankruptcy.
 
The long-term prospects for Scientology are very poor. The way they deal with criticism is disastrous at a time when information flows ever more freely. But they cannot change their ways, as their methods are those prescribed by their revered and unquestionable founder. And he's dead :D

No he didn't. Apparently.



He "dropped his body" and went off to do further research. Apparently he would be back after 20 years. But he hasn't come back yet, perhaps wherever he went has a Victoria Line...
 
Oh yeah, that old avatar/soul schtick.

Mind and body are one (or at least indissoluble) looks to be more the case, I'd say.

Hubbard seems to have lost his mind long before he "dropped his body".

Official "church pictures" always showed him looking "refined". However, after he "withdrew from public life" (ie was on the run and hiding in a camper van somewhere) he ended up looking like this.

You know how scientoligists used to (they still might?) stand on street corners getting people to come to their temple or office whatever the fuck it was ...well I remember years ago in Sydney me and my girl went to one of their personality tests thinking this should be a laff and it's free wtf ...so we went around the corner to their HQ and I did the test , when the guy pulled out the "E meter" and said I'll show you how it works and pinched me on the arm really hard to make thew needle on the E meter to bounce around ... I stood up and was a nanosecond from flooring this prick before my girl grabbed me by the arm and we left.

Scientology, Scientologists and everything about it really is pathetic bullshit.
Good one Wiki.

Does anybody know what wikipedia statements the scientologists appear to be particularly sensitive about?

The stuff about L. Ron having done occult workings with Jack Parsons and Aleister Crowley, stuff about him having boasted that the best way to fleece marks is to form a religion, stuff about the general cultishness of scientology.
 
I was reading elsewhere on the net that the Late Great Elvis Presley went through a phase of reading all the loonspud new age nonsense he could his hands on. . . a phase which coincided with him being high as a very high kite.

Even in this addled state, however, he told the Scientologists to feck off when they targetted him for recruitment, declaring that the Elronners were 'only interested in my money'.

They don't call him The King for no reason.

She was then encouraged to buy an array of paraphernalia, including Scientology books and the so-called purification packs. Her lawyers say she acquired one product – an "electrometer", supposedly used to diagnose a member's mental state – for the French franc equivalent of €700, but the church sold it to her for €4,800; they also say the powers of the reader are "illusory".

What the hell does an electrometer look like or do?

I have a feeling if somebody posted up a picture of I'd laugh

Essentially it measures electrical resistance across the body - and is, in effect, a lie detector. You hold the cans as shown, and depending on your subconscious reactions, the needle moves. Different movement patterns mean different things to the 'auditor' (person operating the machine).

When you get stopped for the 'free stress test', they ask you a few questions and when the needle moves, whatever you were thinking about, "that" is what is holding you back in life, and whatever it is, the answer is to buy the Dianetics book as that will give you the answer - which is, of course, spend more money on Scientology courses.

Didn't his daughter end up as a Hubbardite?

Yeah, cos syphoning thousands of pounds out of emotionally vulnerable people is clearly the path of the righteous, you stupid cock.

E2A: Have I been pwned? :D

And it conveniently doubles up as a cassette recorder too.
 
There's also a very NSFW picture out there of a lady using the cans in a most, ahem, intimate manner for self pleasure.

This, however, I think I can share... the L.Ron Hubbard Buttplug.
