Perhaps because their power is totally based on the blind trust and following of the "flock / cult members". These people prey on the vulnerable, weak, needy... Someone with their own mind is not going to follow, so they don't want them anywhere near their inner circle, especially not with a TV Camera!

Just my opinion of course :-$

So going back to the original question "Are there any scientologists in our midst?" Are there any out there that would like to give us their view of last night's programme? I would be interested to know if they feel embarrassed by last night's programme and whether it was a true representation of Scientology's attitude towards people who question them.

[TillieTrotter]

Nice one Mark, although I can't see anyone taking you up on that somehow!!

[Mark]

yeah, just thought it would be good to get a balanced opinion. The Scientologists have set up website after last night http://www.bbcpanorama-exposed.org/, where you can request a their DVD about the programme. I've ordered one, perhaps we could show it at a Dulwich Paradiso film evening...

[TillieTrotter]

just watched their documentary on line. Loads of smoke, no fire as far as I could tell.

I was going to post a balancing point about Scientologies tactics being bullying, but unlike a certain organisation whose name rhymes with Bowman Patholic, they haven't actually been responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of people who disagreed with their orthodoxy, but thought it might be too inflammatory.

Doh!!....

But you have given me a great name for my new alter ego !

I don't know about scientologists in SE22, but there's clearly a small group obsessed with topping up their travelcards. I think they're the Blue Oyster cult.

BOOM BOOM! :)) Don't fear the reaper ;-)

[AnotherPaul]

er, Mark, does that mean they now know where you live?

I'll help form a protective wall around your house if needs be.

That scientology man will discover karma too late m'thinks.

Way back when, someone living in a shared house I lived in got involved in one of these cults (don't think it was S********gy). She disappeared, then came back one day 'accompanied' by several not very friendly people to collect her belongings. They pretty much ensured there was no communication. Pretty scary stuff.

[AnotherPaul]

Good, I'll open the window, close it firmly on his head and remind him of how religious people are meant to be polite and friendly. Then get spanish inquisition on his ass - cushions, not thumbscrews.

Not the comfy chair (in the lounge)......

Incitatus, have you never heard of the saying predictability is the spice of life?

[Incitatus]

I was making a less than obvious ref to the following.

AH!!! Sorry my intelligence doesnt stretch that far:(

[mockney piers]

Curiously enough that's exactly how I'm dressed today!!

[Incitatus]

Bless you TT, on taking another look at the sketch I think that young lady could be DM.

Anyway just for you TT,as it is your thread and all, here's a scientologist (Top Gun himself) in the mist.

How fetching MP;-)

[AnotherPaul]

It's going to have to be cushions and the comfy chair.

Remember, said Scient0logy git's head is to be jammed in a window whilst all this larking about is going on, no need to rush.

As and ex-alter boy I want the biggest cruxifix! But happy for Senor Mockers to lead - and get followed about for weeks after.

[SeanMacGabhann]

You can always tell which of us are ex alter-boys I reckon AP
