21Has Anybody on the Forum Ever Dated a Scientologist?
by Robdar inthis afternoon a guy i met on line through yahoo singles came by the art gallery to meet me in person.
in the course of our conversation, he mentioned he was a scientologist and used to teach scientology in hollywood.
i guess that he could tell by my lack of response that i wasn't thrilled to hear that.

less mature more mature Hey there, teenager. Overall, your emotional age is very adolescent. Despite a passionate nature, you may express your feelings with caution. Concern for the judgments of others -- combined with a strong inner will -- describes your type. To understand more about your score, sign up with Emode.
Aztec, it's been 3 months and you're still a knockout!!!! Even more so I see.

Hi all,
I just thought I'd pop in and say hi, to everyone.
I just completed a community job project at a primary school I was assigned to for around 10 weeks. My responsibilities included office administration, and helping students with their lessons as well as teachers prepare for lessons. Within the first 2 weeks of my being at the school, I found myself telling the secretary in the office that I used to be associated with Jehovah’s Witnesses. The reason it came up was due to a comment she made about a TV and Radio celebrity here in Oz being a JW. I corrected her and said that the person she was referring to was indeed a JW in the past tense, in fact, the celebrity was a missionaries daughter, and I went on to explain how she broke away from the cult herself and what it involved, and the affect and impact it had on her life. (for the better now).
Anyway, after some serious banter, I asked her if there were any witness children in the school, she informed me there were 2, offcourse she couldn’t tell me who, not that I asked and it wasn’t important for me to know anyway, however in time, during Easter celebrations, they made themselves known to me. A little boy and a little girl, in the same class no less (no relation).
As the rest of the class were making Easter Cards, they had to be given something different. Their teacher was telling me how at first it was so difficult for her to accept and how this little boy of no more than 7 years of age approached her and told her that Christmas and Easter were a PAGAN celebration and he and his friend were not to partake in any part of it. PAGAN I said. Does he know what PAGAN means? She said no, he’s only seven…hehehehe what a joke.
I proceeded to tell the teacher that I too grew up as a JW and that I too had to explain to teachers and schoolmates throughout my school days why I couldn’t celebrate such PAGAN rituals and how difficult it really was to do this year in year out. We laughed and continued with the lessons. I had the 2 JW kids make NORMAL cards for their parents.
About 2 weeks later a lady walked up to the office window, and handed me a book of Raffle tickets, that weren’t sold, she was so apologetic, that she didn’t sell them, and said she felt so bad about it, as they were for much needed fund raising for the school. I looked at her and said that’s fine, no problem. I totally understand.
After she left I asked the office secretary, I had spoken to about JW’s earlier, if that lady was a JW, she said HOW did you know, do you have a secret hand shake or something? Hehehehe, I said no, just the big deal she made about the Raffle tickets, no one else that handed in unsold tickets was worried about it so much. She didn’t really understand what the BIG deal was, and I said no, there isn’t a big deal, it’s just what they are told to do, by some decrepit men whom they’ve never met who live on the other side of the world, and whom they are told to believe are God’s only channel here on Earth. She looked at me puzzled, so I suggested she read Orwell’s’ 1984 and she would get a better picture of what JW’s were all about.
Anyway, why have I told you all this? Hmmmm, no matter where you go in the world no matter how much you try, you can never escape that you once were a JW, it haunts you no matter where you are and what you do, as soon as you here the words JW, your ears prick up, and it triggers the memories again. What a crock. One thing I am sure of, I’m glad I’m out.
Those poor kids, maybe one day they too will escape their clutches. One can only hope.
Ciao

All it takes is a chance enounter with the right person and a personal tragedy to make a person re-evaluate their life and decide he needs to make some changes. The jw's pitch is perfect for ppl that find themselves in that predicament.
That's what I was refering to in my earlier post when I mentioned the death of his baby, and subsequent divorce.
I'm sure however that he will do all he can to impress the hierarchy, only to find out eventually, that he too has been duped.
The following are the words off his recent Album Rainbow Children, very much pro the (b)org, and against us so called banished ones, judge for yourselves. sheesh. Tell me he hasn't been brainwashed already!
Digital Garden
Love, like a rose in bloom
All of the Rainbow Children will feel it soon
2 the east, word traveled about this energy
Until it reached the Banished Ones
Who just wanted this love 2 ceaseThey now fallen in2/The Resistor's dream
And they built a Digital Garden/Or so it seemedIn this brilliant darkness/So-called angels of light/"Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies"
And all the Rainbow Children/Will stand and fight
4 everlasting, everlasting life/4 the one who sits on the right
4 Him we're willing to do the workThe following is read out as part of the composition with a voice that can only be described as Demonic sounding.
The Banished Ones approaching the palace shouted obscenities. They tried 2
confuse the Rainbow Children and dethron their king. Using the lies promoted
by the whosepapers, hellavisions, and scagazines- The Banished Ones
constructed a Digital Garden around the palace that extended throughout the
world. Furthermore they demanded compensation 4 their time spent in the
palace b4 the exile. This was noise! "So be it," said the Wise One, and
gladly obliged with an INVISIBLE DEED. The Banished Ones accepted and
returned to their place of birth in MendaCity. As 4 the Rainbow Children,
they began deconstructing the Digital Garden. Door to door they went in
search of those willing to do The Work.Now tell me again he's down to Earth?
More like somewhere on Pluto I think, along with the hierarchy.
He is probably a nice enough person, in that he doesn't really want to hurt anyone, however I still think he is well and truly brainwashed, and the problem with having such a high profile person as Mr Nelson a JW is that he will be respected by most, almost idolized by dubs, and that gives him power, to spread their propaganda and make it more practicable. There will always be the few that will resent him for whatever their reasoning may be; however with most celebrities the opposite is more often true.
