You know, because it was well respected prior to the article.

They tripped over themselves?

they stepped on themselves?

LaChapelle · 06-21-2009, 01:23 PM

They feet(fist) themselves?

Since the Lisa McPherson case didn't blow the cult wide open, I'm inclined to believe nothing will ever bring down the CoS...

Im guessing no one actually read the article. The planet is in a goofy mood today.

Cults is as cults does, sir.

"Disgruntled former employees badmouth organization" could just as easily have been the title.

What a crazy religion.

All religions are crazy. They ask you to take, on faith, some farfetched ideas and then hold them as concrete beliefs. Honestly, believing we're all recreated alien beings is no more or less valid or wacko than thinking the Earth was made in seven days by a white bearded giant God who then created Mankind, then gave him Woman from a rib, and all that jazz.

I'm sure, in the early days of Christianity, everyone felt the same way about it as they do about Scientology today. We all have no idea, so any theory is equally believable IMO.

But it's a moot point, because we all know what the true supreme being is.

The small difference is that generally the other religions don't kill you when you attempt to leave the religion. Among other things.

You're right. Most just kill you if you're not a member of the religion.
