Kirstie Alley: "The worst possible dilemmas evaporate with Scientology"

Kirstie Alley says:



The only real question here is why wouldn’t you join scientology. It seems clear by now that if anyone knows the secret to physical and mental health, it's big time Hollywood stars Kirstie Alley, John Travolta and Tom Cruise.

How's that working for you, girl?

So much so that it is quite remarkable how we all seem to think the same. Some coincidence, no?

This is not a defence of Scientology. As far as I can tell that "religion" is simply an elaborate scheme to screw people out of their money or labour.

My point is that most of us have taken shelter of some religion or philosophy or ideology and almost none of us worked it all out from first principles ourselves. There isn't enough time and most of us don't have the intelligence for that. So we accept a system of thought that we find agreeable.

I frequently hear a criticism of the Freepers and dittoheads that "they just repeat mantras given to them," but observe that we only do the same thing ourselves. We have our memes and mantras too, that many repeat unthinkingly.

So with all that in mind, I just think it would be helpful if we could adopt a slightly more humble attitude.

I thought she was having a public fued with Cruise about taking depression meds?

:wtf:

That People Magazine subscription I sent you seems to be working wonders. :eyes:

:shrug:

It makes good read while using the Lifecycle

The middle school here sells magazine subscriptions and everything else that I would have subscribed to, I already do.

But that doesn't explain why I renewed it, now does it?

It ain't working...

..all this within that magical 25 years she's been practicing scientology. I could see if she had those problems and then used scientology to overcome those problems. But they all happened AFTER she had already been practicing scientology. So one would think if it actually worked that those things wouldn't have happened in the first place, no?

he scores!!!!!!!!!


HypnoToad wins! HypnoToad is the Champion!

:yourock:

Especially with those pointed ears...:evilgrin:

Does that count?

there were a belief system that could combine the two. Then I'd be happy. I also love sueing people who disagree with me. Anybody have any thoughts on where I might find happiness?

really, really hate psychiatric medicine? I think I have the cult for you!

:D

ponderously BAD sci-fi. :)

So sad.

Just made me chuckle.

i'm just sayin

church is a hospital for the sick not a gathering place for the already perfected

Back in my "christian days" I tried several christian weight loss programs and gained weight. I thought at the time it was satan attacking me, but I just liked to eat too much.

Whatever. Sometimes the physical is physical and spiritual is spiritual, and it is possible to be screwed up in one area and not the other.

Like my daughter reminded me the first time she got a "D" in school, nobody's perfect.

What was I thinking seeking help from a neurologist when I could have just read this fascinating looking book? :rofl:

So I have no problem with her. She's very funny, sometimes, and I always liked her on "Cheers". When she won the Emmy for "Cheers" and said "I want to thank my husband Parker for giving me the big one", I nearly died laughing.

What she's saying is that Scientology works for her. She's not criticizing those who choose a different path. As much as I think Scientology is a fraud and a cult, she has every right to practice it.

why shouldn't she believe? why shouldn't cruise believe? he is an actor many believe is nothing special who was once a beautiful boy but is now an ordinary looking middle aged man and yet still all of his dreams are true and he is a star

why shouldn't travolta believe? again, a famous actor, then when that got old, he was able to step into a pilot's career, then a famous actor again

if you have everything you ever wanted and more, why shouldn't you believe in religion and that god loves you and all works right in the world?

i don't blame them for believing, the ones i can't understand are the ones who don't have shit and still believe

scientology isn't noticeably more idiotic than the judeo-christian religion, the old testament isn't more rational than dianetics, it is just older

so i say she's entitled to say what she thinks and i'm entitled to think she's living in a dream world

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Let's all jump on the DIANETICS bandwagon!

:sarcasm:

:sarcasm:

I had my lobotomy 25 years ago. In those years I have worked hard to make my dreams a reality. Very few dreams have escaped me and I am extremely thankful now for my successes both professionally and personally. The role my lobotomy has played in my life has been vital. Without it I simply cannot imagine where I would be right now … I've seen the worst possible dilemmas evaporate with the application of lobotomy technology just like magic. But it's not magic, it's lobotomy. Easy to understand and apply by anybody, anywhere, anytime. Lobotomy works!
