Not sure if this is the right category to post this, but there's a documentary on HBO tonight at 8 EST called Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. Reminds me so much of various MLMs and whatnot. Should be interesting!

Excellent documentary! Might I say, as a resident of Los Angeles and within walking distance of both main Scientology headquarters and the ridiculous Celebrity Center, I am embarrassed! This is the greatest CON OF ALL TIME, AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS ENDORSING IT! That's right! They are TAX FREE! I'm so bringing this up in my next conversation with the California State Franchise Tax Board, who are ON MY ASS CONSTANTLY. What about these assholes, eh, State of California? Sorry, it's a personal rant....but I have a LOT MORE on the Scientology nonsense, which I won't bore you with.

However, THIS IS THE BIGGEST CON OF ALL TIME.

As you were

I now regret my decision about a year ago to tell off a paparazzi in front of my local grocery store because Kirstie Alley was coming out with A LOT of groceries at the time, and she was a bit, how shall we say...overweight. But now that I know she's a full-on scientologist, bring it on, paparazzi! (Although I fear many of these people in it are fearful of what scientology has on them)....it's really ugly, and scary! But I'm totally happy not to see Tom Cruise again:)

mancrush over Cruise

They are both gay and in the closet. Take my word for it.

Both Cruise and Barbarino (as we like to call him, aka Travolta) are gay and have always been gay. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and I wish they would just come out! I mean, it's 2015, for chrissake! But then there's the "Church" of Scientology, threatening them with whatever they threaten...and we all know they threaten!

've seen the buses on Hollywood Blvd. letting them out, I'm assuming the "low on the totem pole ones". They are all dressed alike in black pants and white shirts and all have their heads down. They still leave off pamphlets at the door entitled "Personality Test!".....we all know it's Scientology so we chuck it, but what if I filled one out and returned it just to see what would happen?

The big blue building makes me laugh every time I pass by it. They have big time security gates AND these god awful gold statues on both sides of gates.

And all this time I thought break ups with his wives were due to Tom Cruise’s ‘33’ problem: He’s split with all 3 of his wives when they hit that age (and the number has meaning in Scientology, too) http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tom-cruise-33-problem-split-3-wives-hit-age-number-meaning-scientology-article-1.1105588

I kid Tom a little, if I had my pick of hot actresses I would be married a bunch of times too. What I do question is Scientology as a life strategy if the man is divorced three times, seems that is common enough without paying a bunch of money to some faux church. Along the same lines of Tony Robbins teaching others how to "master their relationships" at the same time he is divorcing his wife and marrying a young thing.

I consider this to be as irresponsible as Jenny McCarthy's misinformation campaign on vaccines. People need to consult real professionals, not actors that lose their **** on Oprah's couch and can't seem to keep their own lives together.

Okay now I'm paranoid. I'm thinking Scientology is on to me and this forum; hence I'm getting unstoppable phone calls from "health insurance enrollment bullshit", as well as Indian/Paki callers threatening me with arrest and "taking me to courthouse", and yes, calling me the "C" word! It's Scientology! They are officially after me!

Of course I'm joking here but wouldn't put it past these bastards.

I find there is so much good information on the web for purt near any situation.

drive like an idiot, randomly signaling for left turns and taking rights and vice versa, perhaps even going straight on occasion. Eventually they'll screw up and be off your tail.

Thanks Ribshaw, but you're next on Scientology's radar! Just Kidding! (I hope)

Excellent documentary from the British journalist, thanks for posting.
