Scientologists targetting my area

Years ago when I was a hitchiking youth they cornered me in a foreign city and managed to persuade me to sit their personality test. I was not very impressed and pretty much told them to sling their hooks but strangeness continued, as I left the city that night my first lift was someone who as I told the story to them they revealed they were a scientologist.

I was most relieved when I got out of that car!

I've never understood how this happens. They stand outside their building here too, and they were pushier back when I was in my Twenties. But short of a lasso, I wasn't going in there.

They were camped out near the central bus station, I had an hour to kill and had never heard of it or anything about it, they were very unthreatening so I said why not ... filled in the questionnaire and hung about while they decoded it ... then as they were telling me the results and I caught sight of the L Ron Hubbard books they wanted me to buy I started to realise that it was some kind of cult so I made my excuses ..

I do know of other travellers who have been inducted into cults, a couple in fact, on in the USA was taken in badly by a cult who pretty much brainwashed him. Very nasty story and his family were lucky to get him back at all.

They are 'anonymous'. They wear them to protect their identities, to make it harder for Scientology to track them down and send people after them to harrass them - after all, Scientologists do have a well established track record of suing, harrassing and otherwise annoying their critics.

It's called "Fair Game", a policy that Hubbard devised many years back, and although they insist it's no longer in effect, it's just the name that isn't used.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Game_(Scientology)



Read the story of Paulette Cooper - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulette_Cooper - as to how she suffered for speaking out.

The masks are of course Guy Fawkes, made famous from "V for Vendetta". There's a lot of parallels between the 'anonymous' struggle against the tyrannical fascist cult of Scientology, and V against a tyrannical fascist government in the movie.

you don't have any idea about 4chan and the roots of anonymous do you?

It's rather sweet. You think these brave warriors are anti-scilon crusaders and yet have no idea about the internet cesspool they hail from:D

The proverbial wolves in sheep's clothing, as it were.

When I came across them out on the sidewalk inviting me in, I already knew who they were.
 
Fucking crazy loon cultists. Used to try to give me the "free stress test" outside their shop/office on Tottenham Court Road, but just saying "fuck off cultist" seemed to eventually do the trick.

Wonder why they'd be targeting poorer areas though when it comes down to money as to how far you can progress in the cult. Small amounts from lots of people I guess.

Or maybe Tom Cruise and John Travolta are behind on their subscription payments?

Book put through my door along with Pizza leaflets, palm-readers and the usual flyers from 'charities' wanting my old clothes. Contents seemed innocuous but somewhat simplistic and cloyingly saccharine when I skimmed through. No idea where it had come from till in tiny print on the back requiring my needle-threading glasses I saw all this guff about it being OK for distribution in Government departments and by employees (which was a bit weird in itself) and the name L. Ron Hubbard.
I agree with the French for once. Dangerous Cult.

Put a "No Junk Mail" sign on your letterbox with "including religious shite" added on underneath

I was pretty naieve (sp) ..

The other guy who was taken in by a cult in the USA, his family had to pretty much kidnap him to get him back.
 
It is pretty amazing that the high profilers like Cruise and Travolta can't see what a whacky lot they have gotten into bed with. I mean they must be proper brainwashed.

Whaaaat?? JC's right, there is no accounting for people being dumbasses. It's unbelieveable that Hubbard stated that the best way to make money was to start a religion....and then started one which people joined!! :confused:

Personally, I think it's one of the best jokes ever pulled, and I bet Hubbard is laughing in his grave.


The bad news is what has followed on from the joke.
 
At the lower end, they just seem to offer an alternative view to modern psychiatry which can appear appealing, but as you rise up the levels it just seems too whacky for balanced people to take in. Surely they must be brainwashed.

I'm not sure that believing in Thetans from the Planet Zardoz is any crazier than believing in burning bushes that talk, or besandalled carpenters strolling about on the surface of lakes.

Comedy genius, or the conduit for our alien overlords. Or both. Anyway, we'll see who is laughing when our alien overlords come to save us and Cruise and Travolta flip us the bird from the flying saucer :mad:
 
the impression ..... is there are a lot of naive and or brainwashed people giving a lot of time and money and a few high rollers who are being 'helped' by the organisation to keep certain things under wraps... they have a shit load of influence in the right places and know of a lot of skeletons in closets.

Internet Hate Machine

They also hound girls with no chins, to the point of real life harassment, Girls who are just to cutesy to be believed like Boxxy, and recently haxed the accounts of a load of Facebook members via a christian dating websites lax security and posted the usual torrent of 'Chanesque abuse.

They really do not have anything resembling a moral compass and are fairly indiscriminate with targets. The scilon thing worked because it fitted with what they call 'moralfags'.

They are a barrelfull of bad apples.

They can have quite an effect on non-naive/brainwashed people too

tl;dr
 
Surely reading a Hubbard work of fiction would lead one to think 'this bloke is a shit author and I'd doubt his religion'
