Space Opera in Scientology Doctrine.

You guys should seriously give this a read. There's some hilariously rediculous stuff in there, and i'm having a little trouble wrapping my mind around it all.

I really don't understand scientology. It's one of those so called religions in which I pretty much know nothing about. Could somebody enlighten me?

Gorilla Goals
A black gorilla was said by Hubbard to have been used by the Hoipolloi to implant the Gorilla Goals.
A black gorilla was said by Hubbard to have been used by the Hoipolloi to implant the Gorilla Goals.

The Gorilla Goals were a series of implants created by invaders from Helatrobus "between about 319 trillion years ago to about 256 trillion trillion years ago" (or 89 trillion trillion years ago in another Hubbard lecture). They were

given in an amusement park with a single tunnel, a roller coaster and a Ferris wheel ... The symbol of a Gorilla was always present in the place the goal was given. Sometimes a large gorilla, black, was seen elsewhere than the park. A mechanical or a live gorilla was always seen in the park.

This activity was conducted by the Hoipolloi, a group of operators in meat body societies. They were typical carnival people. They let out concessions for these implant "Amusement Parks." A pink-striped white shirt with sleeve garters was the uniform of the Hoipolloi. Such a figure often rode on the roller coaster cars. Monkeys were also used on the cars. Elephants sometimes formed part of the equipment.
("Routine 3N: Line Plots", HCOB 14 July 1963)

The Hoipolloi used "fantastic motion" as well as "blasts of raw electricity and explosions" to brainwash the hapless thetans into accepting the Gorilla Goals. The goals themselves were a series of simple tasks intended to trick the thetans into limiting their inherent abilities, with the goals including "To End", "To be Dead", "To be Asleep", "To be Solid", "To be Sexual" and so on.

Bear Goals

The Bear Goals were very similar to the Gorilla Goals (see below) with the same set of goals, except that "instead of a mechanical gorilla a mechanical or live bear was used, and the motion was even more violent." They were implanted by "a group called, I think, "The Brothers of the Bear" and were the ancestors of the Hoipolloi." ("Routine 3N: Line Plots", HCOB 14 July 1963)

Aircraft Door Goals

The Aircraft Door Goals were implanted between 315 trillion years ago and 216 trillion years ago aboard the fuselage of an aircraft, with the thetan held motionless in front of the aircraft door. Hubbard writes that "the goal items were laid in with explosions". The specific goals given in this implant were variants of the command "to create." ("Routine 3N: Line Plots", HCOB 14 July 1963)

People believe this stuff? I dunno... I can expect christian beliefs and other religious beliefs to be far more plausible to the masses than this stuff.

THEY SEND PEOPLE TO LABOUR CAMPS IF THEY QUESTION IT!!! NO SHIZZLE!!!

-The Rehabilitation Project Force, or RPF, is a system of work camps[1] set up by the Church of Scientology Sea Organization, intended to rehabilitate members who have not lived up to CoS expectations or have violated certain policies. In this program, members do medium to heavy manual labor tasks around Sea Org bases. There have been some reports of overwork and mistreatment at RPF facilities.

I live within about 5 miles of the house of the guy who founded Scientology. So I went to visit and it was really freaky.
There were lots of people walking around with no expressions on their faces muttering to themselves. And the whole place just seemed far too calm.

My most prominent memory was actually of a really really attractive girl who was delivering some stationary to the main offices. :smoking:

Scientology basically believes many, many years ago some evil emperor in space enslaved a bunch of alien races, brought them to Earth, brainwashed them with videos of all kinds of things (religion, war, etc.), then he threw them into a volcano and their souls roamed the Earth until humans came and the alien's souls are the reason war, death, chaos, depression, sadness, and the like exist.

it's only a religion for tax shelter purposes ..they're a cult that makes money through "personality courses". Basically how it works is that the higher you get in the religion (re: the more courses you take) the more the background of the religion is revealed ...basically their belief system is that aliens put man on this earth .......oh and did you know the founder L Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer ...they're a bunch of looneys and tom cruise is their idiot prince

Thanks for the info everybody. I've always got the impression by the media that Scientology is pretty whacko, but never did I imigine some of this other stuff.

Scientologists should be sent to mental insitutions and given help. They are following the doctrine and words of sci-fi writer who said "Scientology as a religion solves a problem of practical business" as if they were holy and true, which is madness. It's as if Jesus had said on the cross "at least I got stinking rich".

My respect for South Park skyrocketed after the Scientology episode.

Why, a hl2.net religion would rival Flying Spaghetti Monster himself!

They basically turned science into a religon....which is utterly pointless, because science is based on facts and evidence and not faith and belief.

I view science and religion as seperate entities, which a person can include in their life. Just as I do.

I am going to start the religion of the Dancing Cow.

Dancing Cows eat sphagetti monsters for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner.

No, not really.

This religion isn't based on faith and belief either. It's based on bull shit and people's overactive stupidity and imaginations.

Although I am religious, i have quite a dis-taste for other religions (well most religions).
