the scientology orientation video is on google video.
you can watch it here.
it reminds me a lot of the bethel video that the jw's put out, except the scientologist have celebrity endorsers.
Someone actually posted a link to it here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/115649/1.ashx
My favorite part was Kirstie Alley. she's so over dramatic "if I didn't have scientology, i wouldn't be alive" or something similar... i also thought it was strange that one of their testimonials was from a "Baptist Minister" yeah sure
so i was out on my run this morning and i got cut off by a red light.
aarrrgh!
i hate it when that happens.
This "ticketing" pedestrians has nothing to do with making the roads safer----it's just another money grab.
I totally agree. They try to disguise it as making the roads safer. Have they ever heard of darwinism? If you are too dumb to look both ways and get creamed then its your own fault.
I hate how law enforcement wastes money on small stuff like this when there are bigger problems like gangs, rapists, murderers, and child predators.
check out some of these scientology links i have found....
this one is a scientology orientation video.
an article about the shunning practices by scientologists
Here's another... WARNING it's pretty graphic with autopsy photos etc

Scary stuff. Here in LA they are always out in the Hollywood tourist areas offering their free stress test. Of course everybody is diagnosed as stressed and needs Dianetics or some other crap. Now they even have their Nascar which they put out on the street to attract more people. But it's all about $$. My friend was walking by there and they were hardselling their book. "It's only $8.95! How often do you spend $8.95 on lunch or even something that you throw away." lol
as many of you are aware being brought up in the organisation, there was a general directive from the wt that secular education was good, but not encouraged as far as university and further education was concerned.
many witnesses left school in the 70s with no formal qualifications.
my question therefore is 2 fold.. 1. what would you have liked to become as far as your career is concerned?.
1. I work in entertainment.
2. I always wanted to be a commercial pilot.
july km confirms that this is the next book for consideration at bookstudies starting next year.
Doesn't that book mention evil things about the UN?
i think that as society progresses towards greater equality (even if there are temporary hindrances along the way), the question as to whether efforts towards reducing gender distinction should be attempted arises in some of our minds.
clearly not everyone is going to agree on this.
but i think anyone who is truly reasonable is going to desire that all people are treated more equitably, in fact as much as possible.
Serendipity - "Advertising is still ruled by men, so it's puzzling why men doing the creative content in advertising are willing to sellout their fellow men. "
That's an easy one. The biggest advertiser in the nation is Proctor and Gamble and women are the largest buyers of P&G products. This goes way back to the time of the original radio "Soap Operas" :-)
when i was in my freshman year, they had us take a half semester of sex education and another one was drivers education.
the sex education class taught good stuff for a young teen to know, especially if they were in families who were kind of lax about teaching what needed to be know.
as an example, one girl in our class actually asked if you could get pregnant the first time and another asked if the pulling out method was as good as a condom.
We had sex-ed starting in 5th grade back we everything was in one class (didn't start switching till 6th grade). I don't recall there ever being a permission slip. It was mostly about all the STDs you can get and not much about getting pregs. Then the same thing was repeating each time with more detail all the way through school. They never did those "How To Put A Condom On" classes that you hear about, but maybe it was because if you were too dumb to figure it out you shouldn't have sex.
i'm joining everyone from the bowels of the sun princess, a ship belonging to the princess cruise lines.

Glad you're doing great!! Enjoy your cruise!
the rockband thread made me think of something kind of funny.

The rockband thread made me think of something kind of funny. On the Lil Kim track "Tha Beehive" she has the lyrics: "Better pray to Jehovah, the game is over" It made me laugh. I wonder if she knows some JWs or being from Brooklyn she just had the material around her.
