[LibraLiz1973]

15. Wait... wait... Greta Van Susteren is a SCIENTOLOGIST?

For real?

I did NOT see that coming.

[idgiehkt]

4. Katie Holmes

I think her crack-up is going to be spectacular.

[TK421]

5. I'm still not quite sure what Scientology is all about

One night I was watching some woman on T.V talking about it, but I think I fell asleep towards the end of the program

[mark414]

6. this is what Scientology is about:

http://www.cartoonfeed.com/videos/South_Park/South_Park_-_Scientology

it's South Park, i know. but that's what they actually believe.

it's not a joke.

seriously.

[TK421]

8. You have GOT TO BE FUCKING SHITTING ME...

Please tell me you are, because if these people truly believe this, and I'm actually an alien then I want to go home!!!!!

[mark414]

9. i wish i was...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology#The_upper_secret_levels_of_Scientology

[TK421]

10. Thanks for the link...and here I thought that I was an open-minded person

this has just closed that mind to these wack-jobs

[Crabby Appleton]

12. $$$$$$ nt

[TK421]

14. Yeah, that's what it seems like to me. I would have hoped that it was

something that actually helped a person become better, but the only thing is...that person better have a pretty damned big checking account! :puke: pigs

[CrownPrinceBandar]

7. Beck.........

The popular rumor is that he found Hubbard again a few years ago.

[Critters2]

11. The founder of est was a former clam?

Man, sometimes life is just too bizarre.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Isaac Hayes, no doubt about it.

[Taverner]

16. Beck

Despite his cult's hold on him, he makes good music.

Damned looney though.

[devilgrrl]

17. A dead one.

:-|

[Beaverhausen]

18. I have lots of friends who are Scientologists

In fact, one of my best friends and her husband are. Folks, most of them really aren't as wacky as people say.

[TK421]

19. I'm sorry, but I just checked out the Wikipedia site and looked at

some of the entries there...this sounds pretty messed-up to me. I appreciate the fact that you have friends who are Scientologists, but you have to admit that some of these beliefs make you feel like you should have taken the old Star Trek episodes a bit more seriously!

[TK421]

20. Do the Tribbles control my destiny now? I don't think so

If they do, then my future is in REAL Tribble-trouble!!!!!!

[Beaverhausen]

21. No stranger than beliefs of fundie christians, mormons, etc.

And none of the scientologists have every proselytized to me, unlike the christians.

[TK421]

22. Agreed, wholeheartedly to that...it's just the far-out prospect that just

dazzles me.

A part of me would like to believe that I am part of something greater, but the more humble me accepts the fact that I am just another automaton on this miserable, stinking planet....YOU DAMNED DIRTY APES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlton Heston from "The Planet of the Apes" I edited to that

[philosophie_en_rose]

23. Jason Lee

But I like his work in spite of that $cientology pyramid scheme.

[Dukkha]

24. none

I really don't care for them at all, regardless of their celebrity status.
