They're in GCT too. Along with the Jews for Jesus (who are actually kind of adorable in their "Jesus Made Me Kosher" t-shirts).
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My favorite is when the anti-cultists stand like 10 feet away from the Jews for Jesus, passing out their own literature.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He used a barnyard epithet to describe the device’s scientific validity.
Heh.

The official story:
Electro-psychometer, or E-Meter. The E-Meter measures the mental state or change of state of a person and thus is of enormous benefit to the auditor in helping the preclear locate areas to be handled. The reactive mind’s hidden nature requires utilization of a device capable of registering its effects – a function the E-Meter does accurately.
So these people really are true-blue kooks. To think that we spent a whole day at our conference trying to work out how to measure mental processes with functional MRI, when all we reallly had to do was go across the hall and get an E-Meter.

I can't even.
Funny, the Scientologists keep a much lower profile here in Toronto than they used to, since they lost a number of high-publicity legal proceedings here, including one where they sued a senior prosecutor for malicious prosecution and lost so badly that the prosecutor was awarded damages in the millions. They even placed a spy in his offices (a temp secretary) and that person was caught trying to steal documents.
I had a pretty low opinion of them even before the cheesy video game space clams stuff got around.

Also,
How much did it cost the taxpayers to send a probe up to shoot a hole into a comet? They were trying to discover the origins of the universe? You're kidding me, right? It would have been a lot cheaper to read "Genesis", the first book in the Bible.

I'm not sure why I'm so fascinated by the Scientologists, but...
So these people really are true-blue kooks.

This goes back to that article about illiterate Americans, since scientific illiteracy seems to be encouraged in certain sections of this country.
ION, I love this cartoon about SD O'Connor's resigning from the SC.
