Philadelphia To Soon Be Free Of Thetans (Or Whatever)
As you may have heard, the Church of Scientology recently purchased a 15-story building on Chestnut Street along with a former toy store in order to expand in the City of Brotherly Love. (One can only wait until the first Scientologist member of the Philadelphia Phillies arrives; the Phils train in Clearwater, Fla., world headquarters of Scientology.) Just like Christians believe a Jewish carpenter 2,000 years ago was the Messiah and Jews believe they’re the Chosen People of God™ and Hindus believe widows should be shunned and Muslims believe in predestination and a lack of free will, Scientologists believe Xenu came to Earth 75 million years ago with a bunch of humans, who he then blew up with hydrogen bombs, and their spirits harass humans to this day, and Scientology can get rid of them. Fortunately for Scientology, and unfortunately for other religions, the religion has a group of high-powered lawyers. All hail Xenu! Or, uh, boooo, Xenu! Whichever one is right! Boooo psychiatry! How dare it attempt to help people through science instead of science fiction! And, of course, this new building will cost the city money:
Eh, at least it’s not another dollar store. Church of Scientology buys site in Center City [Inquirer] |

He he, look how little Tom Cruise is!
If Tom Cruise can become the messiah of his own religion, then I’m sure Alycia Lane can become the messiah of her own religion. She can wear a bikini on special occasions to appease her followers who yearn to see her in one.
Prediction: First comment to complain about DMAC’s descriptions of religious beliefs comes in less than 3 comments following this one.
DMAC has religious beliefs?
I’m pretty sure all my descriptions are correct, though. Hell Helen’s house, at least I’m not making priest/little boy jokes.
Plus, my parents are on vacation this week and aren’t reading, presumably.
Ok, enough with the ignorant, prejudiced bullsh1t comments.
1) Scientology has nothing to do with space aliens or whatever. It’s not even a faith-system, it’s a philosophy of self-improvement.
2) Tom Cruise is certainly no Messiah. He’s an actor, and happens to be a Scientologists. People should not believe everything tabloids write.
For accurate info on Scientology, how about checking out an actual Scientology book from the local library? Or see http://www.liveandgrow.org
You win, SD!
It has everything to do with space aliens. You should expect nothing less from a drugged out scifi writer. The problem is that it will cost you $$$$$ before they let you in on the alien crap.

Oh yes, another “Scientologists believe ..” statement. See wikipedia.com where critics KNOW everything that Scientologists believe. That thinking must be something like Religion = Belief = Scientology = Belief = Criticize. But that isn’t it, Scientology doesn’t profess beliefs of that nature. Even the most hard headed critic can look through the Scientology.org website and understand something.
I might be more interested in scientology if Tom Cruise had married Alycia Lane and displayed pictures of her in a bikini to help convert people. No messianic children, though. Alycia Lane might not look at hot in a bikini with baby fat on her.
The very headline of this blurb displays its complete ignorance of what Scientology actually is.
Is there a religion that involves the study of Alycia Lane’s bikini clad body?
Does Scientology detract at all from Barbaro worship, because if it does is it is vile and evil. Anything that draws from from the grace and glory of Barbaro is sinful.
The author is an a-hole who has a crappy job and has nothing better to do.
L. Ron Hubbard appears to be nothing more than a paranoid schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur and a heart full of greed and vice. He has put lie upon lie into books and called it infallible and unquestionable. Nowhere in Scientology texts will they show you real academic data that backs their claims. L. Ron says it’s true so therefore it is. Scientology is not a cult because Scientologists say that it is not. I don’t know about you, but I hold the opinion that repeating a lie enough does not make it true. Scientologists are comforted by the notion that L. Ron (God) has the one true answer for every problem in their lives, and if only they could do these “research backed” techniques they could cross the BRIDGE TO TOTAL FREEDOM (Heaven). You can see how an argument could be made that this is a religion. However, that’s not the whole story. You see, Scientology gives nothing away for free. You must pay thousands upon thousands of dollars to advance in their “religion.” They train those who work for the cult to be salespeople of sort. That’s fine. People can purchase whatever whenever, but these people need to pay taxes. Furthermore, they punish you with security check auditing whenever you might say something about their “great” leader L. Ron. Our only hope is that this organization gets dismantled by the government so the people who believe this crap can get it for free.
Taking a loook at what scientology does is enough to realize it’(s a full size mess. Guess what? I was in Brussels last week-end with the http://www.icsahome.org wwide annual congress.
Scientologists from one of their many fronts (behind which they act hiddenly) were awaiting the participants and distributing insulting pamphlets around.
The pamphlets said that one had to defend the human rights. Really? But that what we were doing there, while the cult is opposing to everyone doubting of Hubbard’s lies and false promises: that’s violating human rights, defrauding people.
Is Barbaro worship tax-exempt too?
The thing about Xenu and the hydrogen bombs is only partially correct. Most Scientologists do NOT believe that… yet; most have not reached reached OT3 (the “Wall of Fire”), which is where you learn the great big secret. That’s why you have to “learning on a gradient,” nobody would believe that if they told you right away. All those Scientologists out there, when you’ve paid your $300K (minimum) and the Wall of Fire DOESN’T involve Xenu, I owe you a Coke.
No group, religious, charitable, or otherwise should be exempt from paying the same taxes that any other group would have to pay. It is pathetic to see abusive organizations like the Church of Scientology get away with destroying a city like Clearwater, FL by purchasing up properties, decimating the downtown, and then refuse to contribute to the cost of running the city by not paying property taxes.
And why the hell does Scientology need a 13 story building? I guaranasstee you there aren’t ever more than 30 cars in front of the Philadelphia Scientology Org, EVER. These lying fraudsters are just buying up these buildings as investment properties and they’ll make a killing because they don’t have to pay the same taxes that their neighbors do. So Scientology gets to steal from all their good paying neighbors on Chestnut St. in addition to fraudulently deceiving its own members by not providing them with the truth about L. Ron Hubbard and his space alien theology.
I know many former Scientologists and they were told during their OT3 training that dead aliens were brought to Earth in spaceships that looked like DC-10 airplanes by Evil Galactic Overlord Xenu over 13 billion years ago. Xenu blew them up with hydrogen bombs and the disembodied souls or “thetans” of these space aliens are now infesting the human race. Of course futher auditing and counseling (through the Cult of Scientology) will enable you to remove the dead alien souls from your body (”body thetans” and “thetan clusters”.
So, to the Scientologists that are reading this that haven’t reached OT3 yet, just wait. As soon as you have donated your $300,000+ to get to OT3 then you’ll also learn how your fraudulent space alien cult abuses people to get their money.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Here’s companion video for the OT3 lesson about the DC-10 spaceships.

Just look at the facts. What other religion has legions of private investigators that stalk and harass anyone who speaks negatively about them? It is a cult, plain and simple. Have you seen any of the numerous videos shot in Clearwater? Where there is smoke there is fire. These people are evil, plain and simple. They are bullies and propogandists.
