Another Black Friday at Walmart….

Taking a break from my usual reporting on my FAVORITE cul-uh-RELIGION. I decided to report on another incident at Walmart…

Oh yea, people are sure in the X-mas spirit this year…

I’m so disgusted, I’m not gonna comment anymore on this subject…

Do Scientologists celebrate the holidays? (Or will it be a merry Xenu for them?

Scientology has been having a hard time as of late. First being convicted of fraud in France and now this:

Looks like our cousins from down under will be looking at Scientology differently after all the dust settles down.

From a Senator wanting an investigation, to a massive protest from ex-Scientologists and others (namely the ‘group’ known as Anonymous.)

It looks like the rest of the world is starting to wake up to what Scienetology is. The question is, why isn’t the U.S. doing anything about it?

Well, someone is doing something…

How ironic that the same magazine who did a in-depth article in the 80’s exposing Scientology (and was basically sued to death under the Church’s ‘Fair Game’ policy for silencing critics.

Anyone remember this?

And now, Time is just selling out to Scientology. You might wanna cancel your subscriptions now…

Happy Thanksgiving…

I guess Scientology can ignore copyright/intellectual laws…

It seems that our fave org has been using depictions of the WWII era Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, in their recruitment drives…

LEGAL action is threatened by the family of Sir Winston Churchill in a bid to stop Scientologists using the famous wartime leader’s picture and words in their recruitment drive.

I just said THAT. LOL.

I personally think it’s disgusting that the CoS uses a man like Winston Churchill to promote their ‘religion’ or gather followers. The CoS had puh-lenty of celeb types out there to ‘recruit’ members. But why use Churchill?

Hopefully his grandson will stop this bullsh*t.

But then again, the only copyright it’s interested in, is it’s own…

The beginning of the end of Scientology?

It seems that Scientology is losing steam here and elsewhere…

Over the course of two days last week, a French court convicted the church of fraud and Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis’ resignation from the church over a litany of concerns was aired publicly.

Plus the fact there was a defection of some of its high level members.

The allegations of violence were leveled by four former high-ranking Scientology executives who told their stories to the St. Petersburg Times last summer. The executives said they witnessed Miscavige, chairman of the board that oversees the church, hit staff members dozens of times and urged others to do the same.

I wrote about the violence in a earlier post. (http://avideogameplayer.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/holy-powers-of-abuse/)

It seems like the CoS is headed down a downhill slide from the looks of it.

And a big shout out to Marc Headley’s new book.

It takes a lot of courage to do what you’re doing. Lead by example.

I’m gonna end this with the famous motto of the protest group Anonymous:

Never forgive.
Never forget.
Expect us.

Ironing out Suri Cruise’s faith?

It seems that from what I can tell, the AMERICAN MEDIA didn’t pick this little gem of a story up. Instead we get:

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/tom-cruise-katie-holmes-suri-best-dressed-family/story?id=8785176

Wow. Good going, ABC for doing such an in-depth story. I really feel that you got such a HARD HITTING staff who likes to look for the TRUTH. But then again, ABC is owned by Disney, so go figure…

Well, anyhoos. It seems that Tom And Katie were ‘arguing’ on what kind of school their little one should attend. And seems like Katie won. Which makes kinda of wonder, what DOES Mr. Cruise REALLY know about Scientology? If he is such a big Scientologist, why isn’t he pushing his little daughter into it?

Two things pop into mind:

1. Tom Cruise knows (or has known) that Scientology is just a BS scheme that he’s making money off of.

2. Katie threatened to pull some skeletons (I would say something about them wearing pink panties, but that would be slander/libel and I really don’t feel like getting sued.) out of Tom’s closet. (Insert your favorite Tom Cruise joke here.)

Either way, I’m going to have some eggs with a side or IRONY.

It seems that the European Court of Human Rights has decided that Russia’s ban on the CoS is illegal (mainly because the CoS wasn’t around long enough.) and was fined about $30,000 USD.

Well, I think, maybe, someone should tell the ECoHR what kind of ‘church’ it’s letting slide.

Well, it’s one step forward and two steps back with these people.

Net Neutrality and the FCC…

It seems like the FCC is actually doing something useful. Instead of letting ISP companies decide what content they customers can see and services they use, the FCC has basically told those companies a big ‘NO U!’ to them.

The bigwigs in Washington are gonna meet in October to iron things out.

Hopefully this will be a big win for consumers. ISPs have no right to block content just because they think the content is ‘objectionable’ (see 4chan for starters.).

The lesson to be learnt here is, that one man’s meat is another man’s posion. But no one has a right to deny the meat altogether.

Thank god for common sense.

Shame on you, Will Smith…

Normally, I wouldn’t usually comment on gossip blogs…but this is very interesting.

http://www.411mania.com/movies/news/116700/%5BGossip%5D-Will-Smith-Donated-Big-Bucks-To-Scientology-Last-Year.htm

It seems that not only is his wife running a school using LRonHubbard Scientology tech and saying that it isn’t the case, but the Big Willie himself has ‘donated $122,000 to Scientology groups‘.

And when asked about it, the rapper/movie star responded:

“You have people who are attacking and want to fight. And don’t know nothing. How you gonna not know nothing about Scientology and attack somebody? It’s dangerous and it’s ignorant. And as an American I’m not gonna be a part of that.”

As a former Philly ‘homeboy’, I gotta laugh at that statement.

Will, why don’t you take off those rose color glasses that you’re wearing and learn about Scientology for yourself?

Google is a good place to start. Try ‘Lisa Mcpherson’. Then go from there.

But then again, I don’t expect you to ACTUALLY do any research for yourself.

Well, I’m gonna stop right now, before I go on a tl;dr rant…

And I thought you were smarter than that, Will…
