Anyone watch this?

Nothing new revealed really but the interviews with people who've left were interesting.

I still fail to see any potential attraction in the thing.

Watched it. If it is a religion I don't really understand its purpose. Seems like a business model to me.

Ah sure it's nothing short of a cult...ye know with brainwashed idiots in it's ranks similar to the following Obama had in getting elected,
only difference being of course is that with Scientology, unlike the other cnut and his policies, the only people getting cleaned out are the
Gobshites that sign up for it!
Ironic though that they are both under the guise of helping those less fortunate  ::)

Are the people at the top not as nrainwashed? I mean, do they rise up the ranks or are they shipped in straight to the top?

It is capitalism at its purest. Get rich by taking money off (stupid) people for something (an idea in this case) in return. I'd have thought Tyrone's Own would appreciate that.

Mad outfit altogether. Makes the catholic church look normal, and at the minute that's saying something.

Actually no... an upstanding citizen such as myself  :) would never appreciate nor condone the brainwashing of anyone for Financial political gain
Anyway, here ye go as you seem to be a tad confused as to it's actual meaning and not a Michael Moore type hashing of it  ::)
Capitalism;
: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments
that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly
by competition in a free market

Fixed that for you TO  ;)
Carlsberg don't do Gombeenocracies, but by jaysus if they did...

That programme last night was sensationalist crap. Let them plough on, they're doing no harm to me. He was ridiculing their beliefs etc, but sure they're at least as believable as any religion (bit of wafer turning into human flesh, anyone??!!)

The only reason anyone gives a f**k is the same reason people buy Hello magazine - because they're interested in what famous people get up to. If there was no famous followers, there would be no interest, simple as.

And as for that idiot they interviewed who was trying to say she was forced to have abortions: she knew if pregnant she'd have to leave her officer position, she got pregnant twice, and instead of choosing to leave the officer position with her husband, she chose abortions then blames them?!! Disappointed the BBC gave this twat of a presenter the light of day to attempt to redeem himself after being made a fool of the last time he did a documentary on scientology.
