what a video! Great job on the spy-cam whoever...

Featuring such great lines as:
"...buy these books!"
"Buy these books!"
"Buy these books"
"Pick up some books!"
"L.R.H. was a professional in many feilds....phone-making..."

Note: not telecommunications, gotta love the professionalism of 'phone making'...

34:45 "If you leave this room after seeing this film, and walk-out and never mention scientology again you are perfectly free to do so; It would be stupid, but you can do it. You can also dive off a bridge or blow your brains out. That is your choice. But if you don't walk out that way, if you continue with scientology..."

Why thank you for your permission...

Religion, distilled to it's purest form and thrown out to the masses. So who can defend this stuff? What the hell *is* an audit? They didn't take me through one in the film like they said they would...

Yet more evidence that scientology is a mental disorder......

Haha - bunch o' nuts! Told you, it's Scientology's fault that Tom Cruise left Nicole Kidman! He must've been nuts! She's hot!

Same sales tactics as used by est and "vacation property in the swamp/desert/dump" seminars. Old hat, quite frankly, adapted from proselytizers going back into prehistory, just amped up with modern special effects and lots of research in marketing and human behavior....

Tom Cruise is a pedophile. I always thought he was a dork, and now I know why.

The potential to move humans to give you their money,

Here-here, dittos, and tru-dat. But I disagree with the premise that this is religion purified by evaporation. Churchism purified, maybe.

I had a friend go through several "audits" in Scientology before she opted out. They give you a metal can to squeeze in each hand. The cans are wired to a voltmeter. An "auditor" asks you questions while watching the meter. The questions can get quite bizarre, personal, intrusive, offensive, disturbing. Many people cry during an audit. You are not allowed to quit in the middle--the intimidation can be very oppressive. But finally (??!!), after giving them the "required answers" and "required" attitude, you are told that you are "clear" and the audit is over. Afterwards, people come up and hug you and tell you how brave and right-thinking you are.

The accumulated result of many audits over time is that it breaks down skepticism and independent thinking. It builds up a "need" for external approval and reward.

Religion is the process by which your worldy assets and allegiences are transferred to God's bill collectors here on Earth. On that basis, Scientology is amongst the purest and most direct of all religions. Anybody who finds fault with the promised afterlife is invited to return for a full refund.

You will eventually find Uncle Al burning in Hell and easy to ID therein - the only fellow with ice in his drink. A contract has been signed...

The Christian 'tithe' is a remnant of the Judaic practice of bringing ten percent of their produce and livestock to Jerusalem once a year and giving it directly to the poor, no middle man required. The middle man is a post-Messianic invention of Roman-Greco, Emperor-worshipping pagans, the descendants of whom are probably responsible for the design and implementation of Social Security.

Wait a minute!! What if!!? This means all religion is just made up to control people?
