I'm not a cult kinda person, so i had no interest in watching it. I was watching that thing on BBC2 about edwardian eating. God us brits know how to cook! - And drink!

LOL, did kinda seem like he hit a soft spot. Scientology, what a joke. It's every bit as much of a cult as Falun Gong is.

Then again, I don't find any of the Christian religions to be any more credible.

I think there is a marked difference between scientology and falun gong though. Falun gong followers seem free (in spirit and mind anyway), perfectly harmless, pacifist, yet horrendously persecuted. Whereas scientologists -from what I can gather from a very limited knowledge of what really its about- on the other hand strike me as being a most oppressive and patriarchal organisation.

There is a difference between spirituality and bullshit, and there is spirituality within every religion. I'd say Scientology has many lost travellers jumping on the bandwagon.

Regardless of wether or not its a load of crap, I don't know much about it, that documentary was biased, albiet with plenty of justification for that. Despite the fact this twat in a suit was spying on the documentary crew, and the whole thing is apparently shrouded in some form of enlightened secrecy, they could have been slightly more open minded.

But then, they weren't allowed to be by the org. Are they trying to create an atmospahere of intrigue and mystery, vacuuming in all the lost souls. Maybe this is how all religions start.
