It seems more likely to me that Dubya is a follower of L. Ron, he has that blank moronic expression that's common to those I've met that have become "Clear".

Heidi Fleiss isnt surprised by the news of Charlie Sheens split. The guys a rat, Fleiss said, according to World Entertainment News Network. [His estranged, pregnant wife, Denise Richards, has] got to be devastated. [She should] take all the money and move on and forget about him.

Scroll to the bottom.

Wonder if Jeb got a sailor suit?

It costs an estimated $300,000 to a acheive the highest-level thetan in the cult of scientology. They are truly dangerous people who routinely bilk people out of as much money as humanly possible.

as well as delivering controversial touch assist healings that supposedly help victims through the laying on of hands.

If by controversial you mean totally ineffective.

It's not just that, but it takes years and years. The "Church" keeps adding low-level courses that L. Ron didn't have anything to do with, because the problem with Scientology is you can't let people get to the end of the Bridge. When the few that can afford it do, either they've become such true believers that they think they are immortals who can control their universe, or they crack up and flame out Lisa McPherson-style.

I can understand why Travolta and Cruise think it works. You have to admit, they have pretty kick-ass lifestyles.

No, controversial as in "get your hand off my thigh".

Whats the big deal? They helped out after the hurricanes and Jeb Bush thanked them.

He had to say nice things about the Co$.

Otherwise they'd drop a dead dog on his porch and "SP" would be spray painted on his garage door.

If they did it without pleading for acceptence of L. Ron Hubbard's teachings, that would be one thing.

Same as Christian missionaries. Oh, it sounds noble, but take away the Jesus-spreading, and see how many volunteer.

So... free labor for ravaged areas, in exchange for people expressing themselves freely?

You're right. THOSE BASTARDS!

Teekno next time you suffer a life altering catastrophe we'll be sure to note that you don't mind crazy cultists expounding on their beliefs to you while they help.

Apparently Jeb forgot all about the fact that Scientologists murdered one of their own followers in Florida... oh wait they didn't murder her... they forcefully attempted to convert her back to Scientology but the thetans attached to her soul killed her.

Yes, I am certain that if he had remembered that a scientologist had been murdered, he never would have thanked these volunteers for their hard work.

Jeb Bush, as a convert to Catholicism, a praiser of Scientology, and a Bush family member, is now trying to get into as many conspiracy theories as humanly possible.

Good luck Jeb

2005-04-05 12:37:39 PM Just Ignorant [TotalFark] Plus: Russell Crowe yells at a fan

Yeah I got a kick out of that one. What an ass-monkey.

Seriously. I've had fans of my comic come up to me at conventions asking for autographs and you know what, it's a hell of a flattering thing especially when you recognize that for some people going up to a person whose work they enjoy and asking for an autograph is a very scary thing.

I get a lot of e-mail after convention appearances from readers who say "I saw you at the convention and really wanted to come up to you and ask for an autograph/sketch and talk to you but I was afraid I would be bothering you." It always makes me feel bad because I like to think I'm a very easy person to approach and I absolutely love signing autographs and doing quick sketches for my readers.

Jesus Christ Crowe, recognize that you're not so freaking special. Celebrities are a dime a dozen and when you finally fall there will be a dozen in the wings waiting to take your place. Recognize that those people who want your autograph are the one who pay for your lavish lifestyle. A simple freaking autograph politely asked for is not an excuse to fly into a primadona hissy-fit. Appreciate the fact that anyone in this world actually thinks you're special enough that your autograph on a scrap of paper is actually meaningful to them.

Even if, for whatever reason, you think you're too good to sign a little appreciation over to the fans who made you what you are there's no reason to act like a total prick to them for just asking for an autograph.

I never saw the movie (I was warned of how bad it was before seeing it), but I can see why it sucked. They tried to squeeze the contents of a 3-4" book into a 2-3hr movie. They probably would have done better if they did it in installments

That's the key thing, I think. A good rule of thumb is that you need about an hour of film for every hundred pages. That's why films like Battlefield Earth and Dune sucked so bad.

I'm confused....isn't Scientology a big "Hollywood" fad kinda thing? Ya know, "Hollywood", where all the heathenous liberals dwell?

I don't think this is gonna sit well the the Christian fundies....

does Scientology bear a resemblence to either of the religions in Stranger in a Strange Land?

The Mission Earth dekology was more entertaining in my opinion. Of course, I was 19 when I read it--these 13 years later I may not have the stamina to get through all 10 books. The main part that sticks in my mind was then they gave the protagonist (Soltan Gris? something like that) a bigger wang. Sweet.
