Good for you for getting the hell outta $cientology! I love seeing people post about why they finally decided to leave. I hope you didn’t have to suffer the heartache of familial disconnection. If you don’t mind me asking, how long were you in?

😃 squared.

Is it the same Tia that used to post a lot on the Bunker, but then went mental and rage-quit?

When was the last time they held any convention or event ?

Other then Florida ,which country they exist ?

Those countries, how many of them awarded religion status ?

😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣

@LisaP – I think you hit on something. For Scientology, it does expect media and any other external entity to vigorously investigate and expose any abuses in OTHER religious organizations, just not theirs.

While I do not profess to be an expert on the traits of narcissism, I imagine that one might be “continuously operates off a double-standard.” For instance, many of us recall the steady PR-ing and celebrating of then-in Isaac Hayes who voiced the character ‘Chef’ on the popular American TV program “South Park” airing on the Comedy Central network.

This program steadily satirizes and pillories [exposes for ridicule] all sorts of beliefs and practices, certainly religions. Nary a negative word was ever uttered in the halls and ranks of Scientology about this, only steady praise and positive celebrity love for the success of Isaac Hayes in his role and for his prominent involvement with this very popular show.

Until, err…. the bubble burst when creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone turned their satirical lens to Scientology, writing and presenting a now well-known episode titled, “Trapped in the Closet.” Huff and puff, Isaac Hayes quit the show with a public statement that it was for ridiculing his religious beliefs.

Observers wisely asked, “Where was Isaac Hayes and the Church of Scientology’s profound concern previously for all the OTHER religious beliefs being skewered and laughed at on this program?”

If I recall, the C of S response was none. No concern for “respecting the religious beliefs of others” or seeking to defend them against seemingly “unfair” examination or ridicule in the public arena.

As many of us remark in this blog post thread, the self-absorption in the group seems, sadly and as ever, at a “danger zone” level.

GL,

You hit that nail right on the head! Thanks so much for making me roll around on the floor laughing my ass off.
