Here's another little tidbit on how to get some FREE SLACK from those
lovable kooks in the Church of Scientology:
******************************************
Again
Mar 20, 1995 19:45 from Dial M
A fine starting point for examining Scientology is a book entitled
MADMAN OR MESSIAH which I unfortunately gave away a few years ago, so I don't
have a publisher or author. But I remember it was written by two guys, one
the step-son of L. Ron himself (PBUH). It details all sorts of neato aspects of
the Church such as the Sea Org, L. Ron's private navy which sailed around the
world getting banned from ever coming back to one port after another; L. Ron's
attempt at a coup in Morocco? I believe it was; detailed descriptions of
hokey ceremonies involving paper mache dieties; and scary tales of Church
thugs roughing up people who left the Church or spoke against it.
Of course this history is all the more topical with Scientologies current lawsuit against
folks who DARED to malign the Chuch on the 'net.
By the way, Elvis was courted as a potential high-profile recruit of
Scientology and became involved with the Church. A year after his death
Priscilla officially joined up. Then years later, the King's daughter Lisa
Marie apruptly divorced her high ranking Scientologist husband and weeks
later married Michael Jackson. In fact the marriage was too soon after the divorce
to be technically legal in whatever godforsaken isle it was they got hitched.
Anyway, the witnesses at the wedding were Scientolgists as was the cleric.
A former Scientology official whose job was recruitment of celebrities says
the whole marriage fits perfectly with his old m.o.--Seeking out troubled celebs
and playing their insecurities to get them to join. Michael could surely be
described as 'troubled' at the time of the wedding. This info is from a
story off the AP wire not long after the wedding.
By the way, if you ever come across an actual Chuch of Scientology Franchise
(that is what they are called within the Church, 'franchises'), walk right in
and act curious. Act curious, rich and gullible in fact. They will
entertain you with such antics as:
1. Assigning you with a friendly "guide" that happens to be your opposite sex
and will quickly hint at an attraction to you.
2.Giving you a coloring book with big EEZEEE TO REEAAD print and no big words
explaining L. Ron Hubbard's theories about 'engrams' in a story about a
little girl getting bit by a mean old dog.
3. A test with about a hundred questions like "I often begin to shake for no apparent reason" A/Agree Strongly B/Agree Somewhat C/Not Sure D/Disagree Somewhat E/Disagree Strongly and so on. The answer sheet is arranged with the answers running in horizontal rows of ten
answers. But anyone on the ball can see the first question is roughly the same.
I mean same question as the 11th 21st 31st and so on. Thus, the 'guide'
quickly looks at your answer sheet and if your answers in each vertical
column tend in one direction, they think they've learned something about you. So by
all means Agree strongly with questions 1,21,31,41,51 and Disagree Strongly
with questions 2,22,32,42,52 and Agree Strongly with questions 3,23,33,43 and
so on. They will think you are psycho.
That's all for now. Feel free to MAIL> me for more Scientology FUN FAX...

What a great idea on how to get some Scientology Poon!!!
I AM gonna do it ...
"Uh, everything you're telling me sounds so right, but before I part
with my millions, let me just part your cute little buns and .... "
Maybe I can visit a bunch of cities with franchises, but I won't be
satisfied until I do the Corpse of L. Ron himself!
