Super Moderator florduh Posted April 1, 2010 Super Moderator Share Posted April 1, 2010 As some of you may know, I have some friends who are Scientologists. I've been attending some classes with them, and a new world has opened for me. People around here have posted a lot of hatred and misinformation about Scientology, but there is really something to it. Most outsiders will jump on the story of Xenu and how silly it is, but I misunderstood it too. L. Ron Hubbard uses that space age tale as a framework to hold a modern mythology. It is symbolic of the great truths of the ages. Mr. Hubbard, a science fiction writer, used what he knew best to create an understandable cosmology for modern society. Mr. Hubbard was so much more than an author. He was truly a genius and probably the leading scholar of religious and spiritual studies of this age. He distilled the great truths from many disciplines and made it accessible and practical for people of today. We do not consider him a god by any means, but he was/is the greatest teacher the world has known. So, from this date forward I will devote the time I wasted here hating things I didn't understand to the study and practice of the only useful religion available to us - Scientology. Fare well everyone, and keep an open mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh Chris, I don't mean this in an antagonistic way, but have you had a stroke? Have you had some other stress in your life lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My jaw just dropped at the OP! I'm skeptical, but I tend to believe the best about my friends; bit of a blind spot. I knew he wouldn't fall for it so he really had me worried about his health.

Ouroboros Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Good one. Florduh, I knew you would turn to the truth one day. You were way too skeptical and critical to not see the light. Get rid of those thetans, and you'll be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlerman Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 So, from this date forward I will devote the time I wasted here hating things I didn't understand to the study and practice of the only useful religion available to us - Scientology. Fare well everyone, and keep an open mind. I saw the date of this post was April 1 before I read it, but then I figured it made so much sense it was probably just a coincidence. Then... to see you say it was an April fools day joke three days later... well that's just you having buyer's remorse and making a post to save face... I understand. Your secret's safe with me. Oh, wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
