Church of Scientology's 'Operating Thetan' documents leaked

[Gainfreak]

You know what the sadest thing is about this entire thread? It's like a trainwreck that I can't stop looking at. No matter how much of the Scientology stuff I read, I still want to read more. Its like a really bad B slasher movie and your waiting for the hot chick to get killed and maybe get a tit shot, but it never happens.

This should keep you very occupied

I get this really weird feeling that you enjoy fucking with me.

I found that piece completely boring and one sided..... Give me both sides, and I'll come to my own conclusions.

That movie gives you the stimulous to go out and seek out both sides.

I'm okay with saying that I think Scientologists are fruitcakes to believe in this Star Wars story...

Then what you think Christians, Mormons, Hindis are?

I'm not going to defend organized religion, but if you can't see some glaring differences between Scientology and those religions I don't know what to tell you...

Do the other religions require significant money up front right away *to even get in* to have your brain cleared for starters...

Just playing a little devil's advocate, whoops I just used another religious reference!

That is beside the point, we're talking about Scientologist's beliefs are being silly...

been there......... found my own conclusions.

Ive watched this a few times. Most of it is just regurgitated info thats been out for awhile, but still pretty entertaining.

What do you think about it?

As with everything, I keep an open mind and try and do research because I believe nothing that I am told and half of what I see

Actually I think he has extremely opposed to hooker beatings...

Some of them are fruitcakes and some aren't, I suppose.

Now we're getting some where...

That is a huge point and one that I share with you.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why the belief of Many Gods is anymore comical then the belief of "A" God. I have my own beliefs and I would never make fun of anyone elses but who here knows for SURE what the truth is.

Pegs me as a Unitarian Universalist...

Im starting to think that the Zeit movie isnt' best watched at work. Turned it off, getting some glares from coworkers.

I'm a born again christian who got very little sleep last night after a long 19 hour day of climbing on roofs some 125 feet in the air. I want to say something but am too tired to really think much at this point. After I get some much needed sleep I will jump in and give my 2 cents worth. Later

Pegs me as a Unitarian Universalist...

I can't say I believe anyone religion but it ranked me 97% or above for

neo pagan
unitarian universalist
mayhayana buddhism
taoism

although I think the questions could have been better if it was going to be a true test.

The truth is that all our lives are empty and meaningless in and of themselves

My life is nothing without you in it

You gave it that meaning. See what I'm saying?

Oh... and the feeling is mutual...

So Jesus walking on water, or changing water to wine, or calming a stormy sea, or withering a fig tree, or bringing the dead to life, or materializing or disappearing in front of hundreds of witnesses, or multiplying baskets of fish and bread, or healing the blind, or casting out demons, or predicting the future, dying for our sins and conquering death itself,

or coming back to set this wretched world straight,

seems not only believable, but fitting and just for the son of the Creator of the universe.

I respect your right to believe in this, I just don't share it.

Hence man made...

Im not sure I follow how you know all religions even the ones that dont try pull power plays like you claimed happens in Germany are man made. That is if Im reading you right.

I was trying to say that yes I was referring to the type of religion that you mentioned in the first part of your post and the dictionary definition, which to me seemed that we were in agreement on.

Ohhhh.... oops I thought I could be misreading you. Thanks for clearing up my boneheadedness.

...I have my own beliefs and I would never make fun of anyone elses but who here knows for SURE what the truth is.

I think it's a safe bet there was no evil alien Xenu that put beings into volcanos, blew them up with H-bombs, trapped their souls in a magnetic field, forced the souls to watch movies in multiplex cinemas, etc... Just sayin...

I respect your right to believe this and share the same belief.

If Jesus is cool with doing blow and beating up hookers than Im cool with Jesus.

The Lord sayeth, "No, I am not cool with doing blow and beating up hookers."

Please make a note of this.
