I drove by this place the other day. I wasn't invited in. There's a 'commoner centre' near by, but who wants to visit the farm when Paris is right at hand?
Anyway, did you know that if I spelled out the name of this place, a world wide web crawl by this organization would see their name in print and come running to see what was said. A friend of mine was 'persecuted' by this organization because he didn't like some of the things they did and talked about it. In a world gone weird, these guys are a good fit.
Me, I could not care less what they do, or what they believe. After all, American Prime time television is filled with shows whose plots or premises have no basis in reality. And even when television think they are dealing with 'reality' they're not.
So go ahead and tell Tabitha to twitch her nose and make me disappear...

We bash Scientologists at General Mayhem all the time. They haven't harrassed us yet.
Another fascinating group of people. Talk about abberations.
is this the one along Sunset Boulevard? i don't know what Mr. Hubbard did to Mr. Cruise but he seemed to be acting weird lately. spent millions of $$ for the nth wedding, he should have saved the money for the divorce settlement in say - 5 - 7 yrs??? j/k, it's just a thought! they said scientology is not a religion, so what is it really? pls. explain that to me, Mr. Bert!
Is this the church that leads its followers into idiocy?
My proof via Wikipedia:
"Idiot" was originally used in ancient Greek city-states to refer to people who were overly concerned with their own self-interest and ignored the needs of the community.
Thanks Tom C. for strengthening my argument...
Ingrid, this 'centre' is on Franklin. You may be thinking of the old Cedars of Lebanon Hospital on Sunset, just west of Vermont. Commoners are welcome there, but not at this one.
I think these guys believe the earth travels through space on the back of a tortoise. Clear? Are you Clear on that? Clear?
(Ingrid, for the above to be funny to you, you must invest a little time and read up on these guys. Your head will explode like a volcano when you learn enough. Clear? If it isn't clear, pay me and I'll clear you...
I would say that this center (which I've also stood outside of and mocked, waiting in line for a comedy show at the UCB theater, or "theatre" if you're fancy) is different from sitcoms because it's not a federally-recognized "church" with massive tax breaks as a result. Sitcoms (at least the ones not run by Aaron Sorkin) also did not have their top ten officials arrested for conspiracy to overthrow governments based on internal documents. Sitcoms also know they're not legitimate, ridiculous, and at no point do they believe they can control matter with their minds. Not even their own subject matter.
