pudge's Journal: Scientology

I first read the famed OT VIII document in the early 90s, from a source I won't name, who got it from a source he wouldn't name.

The Church of Scientology says it is a fake, a forgery. However, they have fought very hard to prevent it from being published, and have claimed they own the copyright on it, and have essentially prevented its distribution (thank God for the Dutch!). Odd thing to do for a fake. Odd for them to claim copyright if they didn't, you know, write it.

Basically, this is where Elron claims Jesus was a pedophile and that he, himself, is the Antichrist. Good stuff, really!

The basic point, though, is to remember that when Tom Cruise says he knows the history of psychiatry, think: "Lucifer is a mythical representation of the Galactic Confederacy."

A little crude

but I think Tool said it best. F--- L Ron Hubbard, F--- all his clones.

I have never read that document before. Odd odd stuff. About the only thing I knew about scientology was Tom Cruise is one, and there a church on main st here in Auburn.

True, but if you read CNN, it supposed to be "See you down in Kentucky Bay", Memphis and St. Louis are the ones destined to sink now.

To me, the most insightful introduction to Scientology was the Road to Xenu [cmu.edu].

true story

So L Ron is this sort of mediocre Sci Fi writer.

Writes a book How to Make Million Dollars.

Book roughly says, Create A Religion.

He then creates a religion.

Profit!

The copyright is indeed the strangest part

If they'd just said it was fake and making their cult look bad, fewer people would think they're nuts.
