      They’ve been laying low the past few years. Maybe all the taking over of cities, overpowering the IRS, doing only God knows what in international waters, murdering people in hotels, and Tom Cruises wife successfully getting away wore them out?

      Now might be the time to hit them back.

        Pretty sure it was south park that did them in. As some random YTer said… “the made fun of them and got away with it”.

        (Specifically, it was the episode they put Tom Cruise in the closet…)

          I did, good call. Also Leah Remini (from King of Queens) did a lot to expose them as well.

    Scientologists have this museum right in the middle of Hollywood with zero indication that it has anything to do with Scientology until you have already gone in, given them your name and address and phone number, and been sat down with obvious handlers to watch a movie. An atheist social group I was a part of that coincidentally met at the restaurant next door every month decided to take a trip. Obviously, we all gave fake names and details.

    Not only is the entire thing ludicrous (did you know that the Holocaust was caused by psychiatry?), you get to the end and there are a bunch of plaques telling you who their “special advisors” were, and you see the names of well-known experts on psychiatry- John Travolta, Isaac Hayes, etc. Surprisingly, no Tom Cruise.

    One person’s psychosis is another person’s ghosts of dead aliens blown up with H-bombs in volcanoes and then forced to watch bad movies for eternity.

    Of course they did. That’s their whole deal.

    Apparently, LRH was bitter about his books being snubbed by actual psychologists, so he made it a tenet of his religion to hate psychology.
