These Scientology followers sound like a bunch of NUTS!!! The average NORMAL person has enough sense to know what is real and what isn''''t. These pseudo science followers are being lead by the teachings of a false prophet and it shows. It makes for interesting news but none of us NORMAL people will be running to the Scientology center soon.

No. You so called normal people will go to Church on Sunday. You will praise a god that in all likely hood is just as imaginary as a thetan. You will laugh at the others for not believing in your one true god. you will claim you know the truth even though it is unknowable. Christians would be just as funny as Scientologist if there weren''t so dam many of them.

Its ALL mythology!

Amen!

Religion. You have to smile. Its amazing the things people come up with and convince each other to believe in.

I once dated a Christian Scientist who informed me that she had repaired dental cavities through prayer. The relationship was not a lengthy one.

Did you stop beating your cat just to type that?

Naaa, a double barrel super soaker water gun is more productive. Now where is that useless fur ball...

[michaelh2001]

I''m not a Scientologist, but why is what they believe any more absurd then what others believe? God giving birth through a virgin woman? Absurd. Prophets falling from the sky? Absurd. We are possessed by things called Thetans? Absurd. When we die we go to heaven or hell or maybe come back as a bird or a leopard or a worm? All absurd. Its ALL mythology!

This so called Scientology religion sounds depressing to me. I would much rather believe that the one who dies is with Jesus and God in heaven. Jett won''t have to worry about seizures now. RIP

[xceptit]

I don''t know the full story,, I''ve taken on seizures for 20 years, I''m 50. You have to maintain one of the medicines. Seizures aren''t a joke...they know that. They loved their son also. I''m not a Scientologist, but I know it relaxes you in life and death, and offers you another understanding of them both. No one wants it, but everyone know it; and it seems the longer we are alive, the more we understand there are reasons. When we find these in a religion we have an ease and remain. They''re all around. Have peace

[displeased]

BTW- If "God" doesn''''t "approve" of medicine, he would''''t have given us the ability to learn, heal and treat. It''''s common sense.

Or in pharmaceutical and business terms, your god has given some the ability of greed, unethical manipulation, and self serving accumulation.

Do Scientologists read the Bible? Ezekiel 18:4 & Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 & John 5:28,29

[rrozsa-2009]

Well, when you die, you are gone. You no longer exist, and you don''''t care, because you''''re gone. When you truly beleive this, you feel much more comfortable and happier than you will ever feel in your life, you are not afraid to die.

===================================

You sound very sure of yourself. How did you come into such knowledge? Do you speak from first-hand experience? Oh, wait, if you had already been through the death experience you would have disappeared forever, according to you.

Jett Travolta was on anti-seizure medication, Depakote, for a long time and up to the point where he was suffering from organ damage. And did it help? No, obviously not.

[imotorist]

L Ron Hubbard wrote a science fiction book. He never envisioned that people would take his work literally. This leads us to believe that years from now a new religion could evolve. Hence Treckies, who will look to the "heavens" for enlightenment.

[citizenusa-2009]

What a shame that with all their monetary resources that the Travolta''s didn''t have the very best medical care available...apparently, their "religion" frowned upon it. Terrible!

[lilajimok]

There is medication for those troubled with "seizures". Does the Scientology "religion" believe in medication for illnesses? Will the Travoltas admit they did not treat their son for his illness, except according to Scientology make believe???
