We had a huge discussion about this the past couple days, and I referenced the Scientologists a lot. A very good friend has an enormous cyst on her ovary. The size of a cantaloupe. She's a bit of a "naturalist," a wiccan, but also extremely susceptible to other nonsense (see The Secret thread).
She has refused normal medical care and surgery and is convinced she can shrink the cyst by will and diet. She has been on a macrobiotic diet for 8 months and looks like an Auschwitz prisoner.
She recently had a phone call with a "medical intuitive." These are 'psychic' types who claim they can sense and diagnos illness from a distance, even over the phone (not making this up). She recorded the call and asked us to listen to it. It was one of the scariest things I've ever heard. It was so much like listening to a Thetan Count session. We were revulsed.
Not sure what to do with her. We're considering addiction specialists and cult deprogrammers.Anyway...so yeah. It was like the Scientologists. (Sorry for long post).

It's insidious that they've been recruiting celebrities for over 25 years. Almost as insidious as marketers using "thought leaders" as target product adopters.

Operation Freakout, also known as Operation PC Freakout, was the name given by the Church of Scientology to a covert plan intended to have the author Paulette Cooper imprisoned or committed to a mental institution. The plan, undertaken in 1976 following years of Church-initiated lawsuits and covert harassment, was meant to eliminate the perceived threat that Cooper posed to the Church and obtain revenge for her publication in 1971 of a highly critical book, The Scandal of Scientology.

Blows my mind when all the normal religious types around here don't come to the aid of the scientologists. I guess tolerance is a one way street.

If I could get away with it I would kill every scientologist on the planet. I'd probably kill every muslim too, so it's not saying much.

- wow good luck on that. muslim covers 20% of the world population.pango

why would "all the normal religious types around here" have to defend scientologists?
and honestly, dobs, i'm not sure you can wave the flag of tolerance given the numerous political and religious threads in which i've read your intolerant comments.
- I make no claims of being tolerant, I am talking of people who demand it about their own religion.mrdobolina
- Frankly, I don't really see myself as being intolerant. Believe what you like but keep it out of the government.mrdobolina
- You can't even argue coherently, mrdobolina. It's a bit pathetic.teleos
- turn the other cheek.mrdobolina

most religions don't make you pay thousands of dollars to learn their teachings. it's a scam that preys on the weak-minded.
- People tithe in most religions.Mimio
- actually, they do request a lot of money...Jaline
- FAIL. Catholic church wants 10%flashbender
- hary krishnas gave me supper thrice and beads. i offered five bucks and they thanked me.molo
- The tithe is necessary to pay for things like church utilities, buildings, mission trips, food for ministers to eat, etc... Which is why it was implemented way back in the OT.teleos

anon was instigated by the cia to create a media frenzy over Scientolobullshit and experiment with fabricated 'movements' vs other fabricated entities such as Scientology itself. It's one big mind fuck via the media/industrial/cia complex.
- calling it a "war on scientology" gives it away. any legit group would not call it a war or get fox news attention.molo

Its interesting though.

When I find out an actor or singer is a Clam I no longer enjoy their work. It's like finding out they belong to the KKK or Melaleuca.

mrdobolina: Why would a "religious" person "side with" people wrapped up in an insidious sci-fi cult? Explain what you mean.
And what does it have to do with tolerance?
I'm not sure you understand the terms you're using (once again).
- Oh no.. not more of this .. we've avoided such talk on QBN thusfar. Are you Flagellum?detritus
- you didn't get the memo, detritus?teleos
- I've been "teleos" since NT became qbn.com.teleos
- Ughnf. No, I hadn't even seen you 'til now. Quelle surprise though, only popping up to make a religious post.detritus

"Intolerance"
In pressed through angry argumentation, looking down at people because of their characteristics or viewpoints, negatively portraying something due the contrast with one's own beliefs, etc.
As the debate as to what to do about other people's intolerance continues, what is often ignored is how to recognize and deal with one's own.
- Agreed. But sometimes you just gotta call an asshat an asshat, you know what I mean..TheBlueOne
- Yes I do, except for the times you call someone an asshat and get labeled an asshole, even though they are clearly an asshat.kona

One man's cult is another man's religion. I think you are all deluded.
- That's the easy solution, isn't it. ;)teleos
- Life is so much easier when we make things black and white and neatly compartmentalized.
teleos - you mean how I will never see your heaven because I dont believe?mrdobolina
- like one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter?kona
