Wow ok, being a Psychology PhD student at TCD makes me want to avoid any of these lot with a barge poll (I am their anti-christ lol)

Ha I think avoiding them is indeed the best idea!! And warn people, they are so sneaky in how they go about things its easy to see how the vunerable get sucked in. Although as a psychology student you might be interested in them, its pretty fascinating the tricks they use to manipulate people!

Everything is a lie with them, I saw one of their "Stress Tests" online, the form claims to be from "Oxford" even though its BS that has nothing to do with them, its all about making people perceive them as respectable.

The whole idea of them is to try and get those who want to be better than others in, hence why it attracts the super rich like Tom Cruse, the idea of being a Clear with a perfect memory and supernatural abilities can attract the right person.

They are also very aware of how they are perceived by society, their table on the front (literally right on the pillars, not to the sides like the Muslims and JW doe) had no mention of Scientology.

Their method of "Breaking" people is also interesting, when this woman grabbed me and asked me if I would do it they had a film crew, literally a camera, a sound guy, lighting with them, they record everything you say to them and that trance like state you are put in when "auditing" and you share your darkest secrets (again recorded) gives them ammo to blackmail you, and once they know what your weaknesses are (say a fondness for drugs, booze, gambling) they can use that to convert you hence why they peddle these detoxes involving saunas.

What fascinates me is how the weirder scientology stuff is only in the upper levels, if we told someone the space opera thing (Xenu) they would think we were joking or something, however their seem to have a way of breaking people's scepticism so they swallow up the absurdities of this .

Sometimes I am tempted to do their stress test just to mess with them (I probably know enough of their methods not to fall for it) but I can't be bothered with them calling me at random times to do more stuff with them (unless I get a burner phone)

Thats it right there! They also think if you have a disability or condition you have done something wrong in another life to deserve it. Hence they have no problem taking advantage of people who are in pain! Scientologist's running a health clinic is just wrong!

Hey as a gay person they would try and "treat" me, Hubbard wrote that gay people have a "sick mind", it lead to a call from the LGBT community to boycott the Hairspray movie which starred Travolta as the lead.

Ironically there are many rumours about Travolta and one of the pilots of his Boeing 707 getting it on.

Scientology is a crazy concept. Its just so far fetched.

I heard of another religion talking about coming back from the dead and walking on water. Crazy people!

Or another religion where a man got on a flying horse, went to the after life, spoke to God, Adam and Jesus and then got home in time for tea, or not forgetting splitting the moon.

I like Buddhism though, I actually meditate after visiting a temple in school, it helps with my depressive problems, its like the only religion to actually make any sense or help me.

I agree, but they're in the ha'penny place compared to the billions scammed out of the Irish people by the catholic church.

That was not a horse, it was actually a flying ass.
There are (or were) various wild asses living around Asia, including the Onager and the Buraq.

Defined as; "smaller than a horse, bigger than a donkey."
A big ass, then.
