Hollywood sideshow: inside the Scientology museum
Big names praise Scientology at its official museum - just don't quote them, writes Judy Skatssoon
The Age 3rd Nov 09
http://www.theage.com.au/travel/hollywood-sideshow-inside-the-scientology-museum-20091103-hu19.html
There's some gems in this article. Give it a read.
| Quote: | Visitors are greeted by a large bust of L Ron Hubbard and a panel inscribed with testimonials from various famous names, including Australians Nicole Kidman and singer Kate Ceberano.
Museum manager Lissa Uvizl, who will take me on a personal guided tour of the museum, looks slightly worried when she sees me taking notes from the panel.
"Please don't quote them," she says. "They didn't authorise their quotes for outside the museum." |
| Quote: | The museum contains a number of auditoriums, including one with a mysterious stage behind a curtain.
Uvizl quickly pulls the curtain shut as I pass.
"It's being renovated," she says.
But I sneak a quick peek, and see something resembling a volcano. |
| Quote: | Before I leave I ask if Uvizl can address a few questions about Hubbard's religion.
Do scientologists really believe in alien intervention in human events?
"Completely asinine," she says.
However, the religion teaches that we are "Thetans" who have "existed before as humans" and are "immortal spiritual beings". She adds there are "sacred scriptures" that can only be seen by people in advanced stages of Scientology study.
And what about L Ron Hubbard's widely alleged claim that "the best way to make money is to make up a religion"?
A misattribution, Uvizl insists.
Hubbard never uttered it, rather it was a quote by his contemporary George Orwell, she says.
In a strip that also houses Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum and Madam Tussaud's Waxworks, the Hubbard museum is another interesting sideshow, even if it's a little heavy on the hard sell and raises more questions than it answers. |
lol

Yeah, like the museum doesn't want these people to find out about it and say: "WTF? I didn't say that!"

It's priceless, isn't it?
Perhaps it should read:
"Please don't quote them," she says. "otherwise people at large might think scientology is batshit insane".
