Scientology on SpeedSolving.

[Bapao]

I've been doing a lot of reading and research on Scientology over the past 4 years and I've pretty much reached the point where I actually despise the CoS. I was shocked to see this ad here on SS. I know how Google ads work and CoS is allowed to advertise, but I wasn't expecting to see an ad for them on my "Mecca/ Zen" site...gave me cold chills.

Anybody here a member of CoS? If so, how are they with cubing as a hobby?

I've seen that add, but never noticed what it was for.
I feel all dirty inside now.

Have you watched this clip before?

 

[Cubenovice]

Same here, never noticed the bottom line in the add...

Not sure I can bring myself to watch it... ok yeah that's familiar, looks like the BBC documentary from a couple years back... but I could be wrong cause it has an American voice over.
I actually picked up a second hand copy of Dianetics a while ago... thought it could be good material to know if I ever got into an argument with a scientologist (which I've wanted to do before when I saw them doing "free personality tests" in the Glasgow shopping center), but it's pretty big, and I don't want to waste that much time on it.

You should watch it. It's not the BBC stuff. The guy with the camera has guts...damn.
They have an office here in Amsterdam, several actually. I ride past one on my way to work. It says "Looking for employees" or "Hiring" in the window. If you know CoS then you know what that means.

The two BBC documentaties are great stuff.

Big thumbs up for Sweeny for having the guts to go back after looing his temper in 2007.
Best of all is that one of the guys harassing Sweeney in the first doc had actually left the "curch" by the time the 2nd doc was shot.

Creepy stuff: during typing of this reply suddenly the screen scrolled down and guess what:

I still need to watch the second documentary. When was it released?
That is creepy man...they're already onto us

EDIT

Yeah, as if you're allowed to just "leave" the Co$....

Also, I'm sorry, but as long as I see scientology ads, I'm using adblock.

2nd doc was Sept 2010.

Wow. I have also went through a time, where I looked as much as I could into Scientology, and after a few months of reading all about it, I began to completely loathe it. Throughout the years, I see a bit more here and there that just reinforce my hate for them.

Everything they do, the way the act and control, their illegal and covered up activities, etc... All disgusting.
Also, I live in Tampa, which is about 30-45 mins away from Clearwater, the CoS capital/headquarters.

I actually have a story about a friend lost to Scientology. If anyone would like to hear the story, I'm all for it.
