Just want to say that I am protesting the Scientology.org ads popping up on this site

I in no way, shape, or form am endorsing Scientology. JMHO, but it's a cult. Just because they believe in a 6 trillion year old alien called Xenu and believe that millions of ETs called "thetans" inhabit the body, I don't actually share their viewpoint. There's crazy and then there's CRAY-ZEE.


Same for Landmark Forum in advance if they want to rip my ad space a new one. They do a fancified vsn. of what we old-timers who remember the 70s used to call EST, which is basically you stand in a room and 40 people scream at you until you confess that you really don't like yourself very much and then they charge you 400 dollars for the privilege of being ripped apart in order to be "re-built". 


Then you take a program of "study" that costs a whole shitload more of Benjamins and then after you've completed some kinda "levels" of "accomplishment", you are required to have mandatory volunteer hours at their call centers to recruit other cult members, ahem, members. 


Then, when you finally have suckered someone on your call list to come in for onea these ***4 hour*** yell-fests, they will then follow up with you for months afterward if you didn't take the bait like I did once and berate you and make you feel guilty for NOT handing over 400 clams for the privilege of being yelled at. 


Total mind-control. 


Thank you!


PS- Here's an update on EST/Landmark Forum- seems I was more than a little in line with this write up of what it was about:
