Wow, a nice quack “doctor” prescribed her the fucking horse de-wormer ivermectin for her depression, while other scientologists suggested she “drop her body” (a nice way to say kill yourself, so your soul can go inhabit another body). Just another in a long line of casual cruel murders this cult is responsible for. I hope this mother goes the distance, and I hope whatever judge is sat on this case has a titanium spine, because these murderers that enslave their peers deserve to rot in prison before they rot in hell.
Scientologists have this museum right in the middle of Hollywood with zero indication that it has anything to do with Scientology until you have already gone in, given them your name and address and phone number, and been sat down with obvious handlers to watch a movie. An atheist social group I was a part of that coincidentally met at the restaurant next door every month decided to take a trip. Obviously, we all gave fake names and details.
Not only is the entire thing ludicrous (did you know that the Holocaust was caused by psychiatry?), you get to the end and there are a bunch of plaques telling you who their “special advisors” were, and you see the names of well-known experts on psychiatry- John Travolta, Isaac Hayes, etc. Surprisingly, no Tom Cruise.
Sounds about right for Scientology. I’m quite surprised they don’t have their poster boy on display with the rest of their indoctrinees, however.
I was too.
I should say that the handlers were so ridiculously obvious. They were pretending to be tourists who just happened to already be there when we already showed up and they watched us the entire time. I have no idea why they thought that would help sell their museum.
But if I remember correctly, Scientology or Hubbard were never overtly mentioned, or if they were, it was hidden amongst the large volumes of text in the museum. It was clear right away from the language that it was all Scientology, but if you weren’t familiar with them, you might not know.
That said, Scientologists are all over other parts of L.A. including Hollywood offering “free personality tests,” so they probably don’t need people to know about that particular arm of their church being related to them or their crazy ideas.
Who was that person who hung out on reddit and every time we had one of these scientology threads they’d come out of the woodwork and post stuff favoring scientology?
I don’t know about actively posting, but Karin something-or-other monitors social media posts about scientology. Don’t forget to say hi, in case she’s found out about Lemmy.
Hi, Karin!
That’s it!!! Hi Karin!!
Suing the Church of Scientology for wrongful death? Yeah, good luck with that.
They’ve been laying low the past few years. Maybe all the taking over of cities, overpowering the IRS, doing only God knows what in international waters, murdering people in hotels, and Tom Cruises wife successfully getting away wore them out?
Now might be the time to hit them back.
Pretty sure it was south park that did them in. As some random YTer said… “the made fun of them and got away with it”.
(Specifically, it was the episode they put Tom Cruise in the closet…)
Youre forgetting 4chan and south park exposing them
I did, good call. Also Leah Remini (from King of Queens) did a lot to expose them as well.
Scientology is evil. See also: water wet
Of course they did. That’s their whole deal.
Apparently, LRH was bitter about his books being snubbed by actual psychologists, so he made it a tenet of his religion to hate psychology.
One person’s psychosis is another person’s ghosts of dead aliens blown up with H-bombs in volcanoes and then forced to watch bad movies for eternity.
