"Life bleeds. It suffers. It hungers and it has to have the right to shoot its enemies until such time as comes a golden age.� - LRH (OEC Vol 7)

I attribute scientology to a phrase I use often. " If you feed people a turd for long enough, they develop a taste for turds."

"I remember no music at all from the days I was a CoS public, except perhaps for that high-pitched screeching chant of the fanatical speaker at an IAS fundraiser: "You're never truly free until you give it all!"

They say music is a window to the soul. Scientology has no soul."

"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose..." - Janis Joplin

"You give me the impression you're scared to face up to what L. Ron
Hubbard, and now David Miscavige, actually intend for you and for all
other Scientologists. Free labor, virtual slavery. Think of all those
people you knew down in Clearwater bunked 12 to a room, working 16-18
hours a day, and ask yourself if that's not slavery.
It doesn't have to be that way. Once you admit you've been ruthlessly
manipulated, you can, with some effort, overcome their machinations. In
this direction there is freedom and when you are free, you can always
have hope. In the direction you're currently travelling, there is only
continued self-delusion, only self-imposed mental slavery to a most
disgusting organization." - Michael Reuss

"Scientology makes very serious absolutist statements and each statement is a steaming pantload." - J. Swift

"So how do these thetans get into your body then? Do they gather en masse
around the maternity hospitals of the world, fighting with each other to reach
those in the most affluent areas? Or do they infest you earlier than that and
contribute to your pre-natal problems in the same way as
your periods of unconsciousness in the womb? (I mean LRH says we all
have pre-natal "engrams" so it must be true.)
If the latter, are they continually floating around
like ethereal peeping toms until they find a couple
"at it" whereupon they can dive in at the climactic
moment? Are gay people thetan-free then? This is
fascinating stuff. It's about time a properly commissioned
scientific study was carried out. "- Dave SP1

"The dam has broken: People globally are expressing deacades of pent up outrage against Scientology's criminality and brutality. Scientology's reputation is shot to hell and beyond repair." - J. Swift

BTs is nothing more than superstition. They exist only in Hubbard's
"case". - Phineas

"What is the source of OT powers?

Step (1): Drive yourself insane.
Step (2): Imagine you have OtSuPeRpOwErS[tm].

Once you get past step (1), everything else is easy. "

-Keith Cochran

"If I were a scientologist, I'd certainly wonder how homo sapien survived and thrived for 100,000 years, give or take, without the teachings of LRH. I'd also wonder why the Discovery Science channel didn't include the "discovery" of the reactive mind to the top 100 scientific discoveries of all time? Well, maybe not. Obviously a wog conspiracy." - Prufrock

"I have seen many many instances of Sea Org execs
and MAAs going through pc folders for information.
At the org I was on staff at I saw pc folders on the
Commanding Officer's desk, in the MAA's office and
in the Guardian Office building. It's a total lie that the
contents of pc folders are kept confidential."

Adversity....That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

"Please let me point out to any new people that
one of the Targets of OSA is to:

1) DISTRACT anyone OFF of the topic of
Scientology onto ~anything~ else at all. "
- Magoo

"It only takes a couple of hours to "come down"
from mind altering drugs. It takes a bit more time
to recover from a Scientology high, like years!"
