hey boys & girls! I just snapped a few pictures while at lunch of l. ron hubbard's yearly scientology 'winter wonderland' set-up here in hollywood! unfortunately i missed 'santa xenu' since i've been avoiding the place like the plague at night when all the 'festivities' & 'stress tests' are taking place! (plus they're always filming - gosh those scientologists love to document things) the sign that says 'sorry we're closed' is hysterical!

i wonder if tom cruise and katie holmes have stopped by yet with baby suri? i don't want to slam any 'beliefs' (you know me - i'm all for whatever floats your boat) but i still find the 'religion' to be super creepy! (and yes a little silly) i bet there's a bunch of unsuspecting tourists who play right into their hands - first they have the kids pictures snapped and then are sent off with a copy of dianetics and their e-meter certificate! popbytes over & out for now - and don't say i didn't warn you about the 'wonderland' here on hollywood blvd! i don't need any of my readers turning into clams!

L. RON HUBBARD'S WINTER WONDERLAND...

OK dude. That's just not f*ng cool. You say you "don't want to slam anyone's beliefs" and then you go and throw mud all over us Scientologists. And for what? For contributing to the community? For spreading Holiday cheer? Well BAH HUMBUG to you. For your info, and to set the record straight, you can go through this whole Holiday Wonderland without ANY dianetics talk or e-meter testing. We don't do this to proselytize, we do it to bring joy to the kids in the community. It's interesting that so many bloggers get all into the bizarro BS that's printed about us in the tabloids (placenta-eating lizard-believing alien-worshipping whatever nuttiness ALL LIES), but you write NOTHING about us volunteering in the community, our literacy centers, our garbage-cleanups, our volunteers at Katrina, etc. etc. BAH HUMBUG to you and I hope Santa brings you a big ole lump of coal. Sincerely, Greg Scientologist and dang proud of it http://www.liveandgrow.org

To defend MK so he does not get a lump of coal (does this count as the South rising again?) I was going to do a little ditty about the 12 Days of Xmas but I'll just post these two little things here for you... On the first day of Xmas, L. Ron Hubbard said to thee (being John Campbell actually)... "I'm going to invent a religion that's going to make me a fortune. I'm tired of writing for a penny a word" ~ yehaw for freedom of speech. On the second day of Xmas Justice Latey said to thee... "Scientology is both immoral and socially obnoxious...It is corrupt sinister and dangerous. It is corrupt because it is based on lies and deceit and has its real objective money and power for Mr. Hubbard... It is sinister because it indulges in infamous practices both to its adherents who do not toe the line unquestioningly and to those who criticize it or oppose it. It is dangerous because it is out to capture people and to indoctrinate and brainwash them so they become the unquestioning captives and tools of the cult, withdrawn from ordinary thought, living, and relationships with others." ~ High Court of London, Long live the Queen. I could go on but you know, why brag about a head full of useless trivia only good for winning bar bets in Trivia Pursuit. Merry Xenu-whatever Greg! Merry Xmas to all my favorite poppets... no coal for you MK... Hagen Das and Dove chocolates all the way baby. Toodles, P88hBear

Greg, I understand that your religion is important to you, but you must also understand that it is antithemic to modern medicine. Your voulenteer efforts to get people off psychiatric drugs often have disasterous effects for that person and the people around them. Without any of the nonsense printed in media or tv, and using only information from the scientology websites, it is clear that your organization wants to eradicate some types of medicine without offering a workable alternative. The purification rundown ritual uses large amounts of Vitamins to remove toxins such as LSD that are stored in the body. LSD isn't toxic and isn't stored in the body, but Vitamin A is toxic and is stored in the body. Scientology does more harm than good. We all see that, and that is why we oppose it. You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

Sorry Greg...the feeling is that you do the little winter wonderland NOT just for the "joy of the children", but to lure them and their unsuspecting parents into thinking how "normal" Scientology is. Again, sorry...ain't buying it. Merry Christmas.

poor fools attacking scientology. do you know what it is to experience something wonderful for yourself and to trust yourself to have experienced it? no, you must rely on what other people say about what other people have said about what other people experience with scientology via someone else and it's all bad bad bad bad. that's okay, we keep growing. ooooohhhhhhh scarrrrrrry. i brought someone out of a deep, suicidal depression with 15 minutes of basic scientology counseling. he told me it did more for him than numerous visits over 5 years to a psychotherapist. but even still he chose to go back to a psychotherapist....now there's a masochist for you. but hey, that's his choice. he's one of you, believes the heresay of what the frightened ones say and prefers that over what he himself experienced. you can have him, you can have each other. the truth remains that mental hospitals get shut down every year around the world for the damage they do to people but scientology centers don't because the truth is scientology is not, in fact, guilty of your accusations. but don't believe me, call Citizens Commission on Human Rights 1-800-869-2247 or visit their website, www.cchr.org. in other words, do your own research. oh, don't have time to do your own research? well then don't bother opening your mouth to attack us, i mean if you're smart and prefer to save your breath. if not, blah blah blah blah away because like i said, we're growing...and there's nothing you can do to prevent it. quick! hide your ignorance, hide your irrational fears, hide your prejudices, hide your inability to observe reality, scientology is coming to uncover all the baggage. one day, even your own...if we feel like helping you, that is. nah, we'll stick to those who can think for themselves. happy new year, folks. watch us grow and shiver in your boots.
