Scientology Orientation Video

[Backdrifter]

this is comical, i love it.

 

[Gogo Bananas]

Scientology scares the **** outta me. I've met Scientologists in real life and those people are downright removed from reality.

 

[Aqua Is Forever]

I don't feel comfortable living near them anymore...

And yet if one guy mocks Scientology/Scientologists in a specific way, it's perfectly acceptible here.
If another guy mocks Christianity/Christians in the exact same way, he gets a warning and threats of probation or banning.

I have alot of reasons for which I respect Christianity much more than Scientology (I am a adherent of neither), but they're neither here nor there.

I think the reason it's accepted is that it's only concepts and people in the video that are being mocked. I've seen people make mock other religions , like Christianity, often. It's when they someone personally mocks another for their faith that they are punished. I'm sure if a Scientologist posted in this thread, and people started calling him crazy, an idioit, etc., those people would be dealt with.

There are a lot more Christians here, so when someone makes fun of it, there is a much better chance one will come and make a reply, and a flamewar will result, and so someone will get punished.

This may not be the actual policy, but it has always seemed like that.

Ladies and Gents, the difference between drinking whiskey and sniffing glue., posted graphically for you.

No, good eye. That is exactly the policy. It's really gross.
It makes a "sub-class" of those posters who don't have any respect for the religion of the majority. It's saying, "Your opinions and self-expression are bannable because,...um,...because, you're ideas are in the minority. You're the N*****s of the forums. We, here, cater to the majority, and will punish you if you don't believe that horse-bodied locust with the heads of men and the long hair of women will be deployed from the bowels of the Earth to bite anyone who doesn't accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour."

The Hype is pretty much a shill for the 3 major religions. Any other religions?...be damned.

i'm intrested in where the money collected goes. also i don't know enough to judge the morality. intrestingly most of the really ****ed up cults convince people to stay in a room and kill themselves. no one who left the room would take the advice anyway. so perhaps it is a way of sorting those they believe they can convince from those they can't..

A far as morality goes, there was some really shady stuff in the past, especially Fair Game, but that has been canelled, at least officially, for a few decades.

I was hoping for a Lord Xenu cameo but no luck!

what in the flying f**k was that

 

[Gamma Ray]

Laaame! Scientology should be illegal.

 

[Dope Nose]

Scientology also has a history of holding people against their will, Lisa McPherson probably being the most notable. her family sued the Church of Scientology for wrongful death.

Notice how the video's gone now? I bet Church of Scientology ordered a removal

I wondered how long it would take them to get it removed.

What a bunch of freaks.

 

[Aiden]

I'm gonna go jump off a cliff or blow my brains out.

Which one should I do?

Blow your brains out. It's quicker and painless. Not that I would know.

 

[The Lizard]

"if you chose to walk out of this center and never mention scientology again, that's your choice it's stupid but it's your choice. you can also jump off a bridge or blow your brains out."

I actually saw this exact video in a local Scientology "Org" building, believe it or not. Supposedly this video doesn't get shown to the public that often anymore, and you pretty much have to specifically request to see it. I think perhaps the loud giggles and snorts of derision most non-Scn's let out when watching the video must have tipped off the PR people that this wasn't the best video to get people to sign up for Scientology courses.

Then again, it could be argued that the few weak-minded naive people who would actually be manipulated by a video like that are exactly the types that are being targeted here...

Now now, people. Let's not make fun of Scientologists. This is, after all, a legally recognized religion...


...founded by a man who wrote science fiction for a living.

C'mon, where's Stephen King's religion? I might actually get behind that one. Living cars, haunted hotels, gunslingers, ect.

Yeah, or maybe a Tolkien religion or Ernest Hemingway religion!

Hey, anything to get me out of this Jedi cult I joined. I'm so tired of kneeling at the altar of the Midichlorii. Have you seen the altars? Dreadful, beeping little things with domed tops.

[bulok]

or um, "The Force". I think there are people looking to get Jedi recognized legally as a religion.

their fair game is fair and unfair simultaneously. it is fair against other religions and institutions but not against invididuals. since many against one is never fair. the fairness of individual battles depends on the choice of game. if it is agreed by both parties then it is fair. fair game theory
