I lived twenty years in Clearwater, Florida, where they had a church and community only a few miles away from me. Only talked to them once, on my way into work, where they were standing outside and asking people three questions. They asked me, and I responded. Can’t remember the questions or what I said, but I guess I didn’t impress them enough to receive an invite to their church. At one point, I saw them a great deal when I was working at a health food store. Never felt the urge to ever join their cult, though.
Yeah, the “test” is designed in such a way that even with the mostest perfectest score ever, they can point out issues with your personality that you can improve. In your case, @Tin-Man, it would be the programming, right? Of course, they have courses for such self-improvement programmes. You’ll have to pay dearly for them, though.
I once got to see a copy of the score sheet for the test, provided to me by a contact. The score sheet is naturally for trained and vetted $cientology staff only, and thus strictly off-hands for non-$cientologists. There’s no way in hell you can max out the results, no matter how many $cientology courses you take.
I just walked in to one of their churches sales and propaganda locations, and had them administer the test.
The scientology sales pitch is to give a “test”, and the results indicate you have serious personal flaws that scientology can fix.
lol damn. They are about destroying people by “fixing” them. You know what they say…'If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!". I remember when he posted this stupid video. Oprah called him out on it when he was trying to “fix” his reputation on her show and she called it a “crazy video” and called him out for embarrassing her on her show by jumping on her couch and acting out.
I’ve heard that scientology treats its celebrities (like Cruise) completely differently than the other poor bastards in the cult. This isn’t surprising as they want to get maximum propaganda value out of having people like Cruise associated with them without alienating them and losing them.
Notice in his drolling spiel how often he looks down and away with his eyes closed? Almost as if he knows most everything he is saying is complete shit.
He either knows it’s all a bunch of crap or he’s batshit crazy.
To me it would be Muslims overall since a lot of them take there religion very serious
In other words Tom gets special treatment?
Yeah but they’re too reluctant and much more hateful towards us in general
Exactly. Islam is the strictest popular religion ever. Muslims are unfortunately brainwashed into protecting it at all cost
Just wait… Theocratic States will embolden Christians as much as Theocratic countries for Muslims.
Fully agreed with what I got told by a few ex Muslim friends which seems to be true it works like this when you are born you go to a mosque or hear Islam things all the time so everybody is like your friends or family kind of if you try and leave the mosque or religion you are seen as like the enemy so you are kind of forced to stay with them even if you move to another religion and for example say you were Accountant to one of the other Muslim if you leave that religion you get sacked in your job
Sure, that is common and is a self-reinforcing mechanism employed heavily by the Mormons or J.W.'s.
I’m beginning to wonder when the Theocratic States of America is going to start up Salem Witch Trials 2.0 and begin waterboarding and hanging those who don’t practice their religion.
They’re already forcing 10 year old rape victims over in Ohio to undergo child birth, those fucking morons. I’m so sick of Christians. If they’re not shoving their religion down your throat, they’re causing problems…like taking away women’s rights.
That is what they’re hoping for but the young girl was able to be taken to Indiana where not forcing a 10 year old to give birth is still doable for now. They’re proving once again that there’s no situation that can’t be made worse with the interjection of religion.
I’ve been seeing a lot of men bashing over abortions. I admit it’s particularly enraging to have a man tell you you’re not smart enough, or moral enough to make the right choice when it’s a choice they’d never have to personally make in the first place, but I realize the majority of men don’t feel that way. So thank you for being much needed allies . This equality thing is still pretty new for women, my grandmothers could remember when women couldn’t vote and there wasn’t a woman on the supreme court until 1982. I know I don’t have to tell most of this crowd, but it’s surprising how many younger people don’t realize these things. It makes it particularly painful to see women, the majority of who want the right to make their own decisions on this the most personal aspect of their lives have this right stripped away. My entire adult life I had this right and I feel my generation has failed the next generation of women.
Purely from a watching stand point, Presuppositionists like Sye Ten are the hardest… not because they’re right, not because they’re great debaters, nor because they’re intellectually power houses…
Simple, because they can render any rational mind into a comatose state.
I watch Sye Ten debate and spout his utter bollocks and my brain instantly feels like it has dysentery and has shat itself to death.
@Kellii You fight the good fight and I stand shoulder to shoulder with you.
If it makes you feel any better, I still puzzle over that one myself. I simply cannot understand why some guys have the ignorant audacity to believe they have a right to control what a woman does with her own body. And even worse, claiming they have that right based on religious purposes is pure hypocritical absurdity, in my opinion. Woman’s body, woman’s choice, as far as I’m concerned. Unfortunately, brain-dead ignorance is quickly becoming more and more fashionable lately. Idiocracy is upon us.
