POPSTeen summonsed for calling Scientology a cult The City of London police came under fire two years ago when it emerged that more than 20 officers, ranging from constable to chief superintendent, had accepted gifts worth thousands of pounds from the Church of Scientology. The City of London Chief Superintendent, Kevin Hurley, praised Scientology for "raising the spiritual wealth of society" during the opening of its headquarters in 2006. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)

POPS10 Post-Modern Religions Info: Oh, you thought I was going to forget Him, didn’t you? His Noodlyness wouldn’t be pleased. In an open letter to the Kansas School Board, Bobby Henderson challenged the state to either include his version of Intelligent Design or dismiss it from the curriculum altogether. He gives a very convincing argument for the belief system of his Noodly Savior. Bobby claims that he has written documentation that the world was created by a flying spaghetti monster. He demands that if the Board is okaying the admission of teaching in school systems about the Christian God and his teachings, then the FSM teachings should be included as well.<<

POPSScientology and the "C" word. "The teenager's defence was that he was merely quoting the opinion of Mr Justice Lacey who back in 1994 used the ‘c’ word in reference to the aforementioned completely rational belief outfit founded by a scrupulously honest major novelist. Justice Lacey also concluded that said wholly savoury and unworryingly rich and powerful and totally not-at-all-paranoid collection of always-do-wells and marketing geniuses were "corrupt, sinister and dangerous" (expressing of course the Judge's opinion of these tirelessly self-less, community-minded missionaries from another planet)"

POPSScientology - 17 Years Ago Clip from a Times cover story in 1991. Due to the recently released Tom Cruise video on YouTube. I thought this clip from 17 years ago was appropriate. Scientology is still here. Why? If you have the interest I'd suggest clicking on the main web page. This short clip is only the tip of the iceberg.

POPSScientology recruiting via facebook? I was playing poker on facebook, & suddenly realized the advertisement on the left pointed to a vacancy for the company U-Man. Normally, I wouldn't click through, but the name U-Man grabbed my attention since I happen to know it's a scientology affiliated organization "selling their Tech" in management circles. Are they're trying to "get some raw meat into the shop"? And it just so happens I'm looking for work right now. What do you think, should I apply? Should I mention that I graduated doing thesis on Scientology? Sure they must be interested ... ;D Also: props to facebook for directing this ad to me. That's some pretty nifty targeted advertising.

POPSCult Kills Again While Xenu and I were having coffee the other morning I told him that he ought to lighten up on his anti-pshychiatry schtick. Again he threatened to throw me into a volcano. He is so damn boring sometimes.

POPSAnonymous vs. Scientology I'm all for freedom of religion. What is happening here has nothing to do with beliefs. It's about The Church of Scientology, the organization, and how they have and will continue to manipulate whoever they wish. http://whyaretheydead.net/ http://xenu.net/
