Heh. Well, I think it would be okay if they didn't ask anyone their dietary preferences beforehand. But they specifically asked them, then turned around and served them ham quiche every day. It was just funny to listen to Carrie talk about after auditing for nine hours all she got to eat was six French fries and half and avocado, then hear her wail "Why do they have so much quiche?!"
Oh, and some lady brought in a pizza and they took it away. They're EVIL!

Wow. That belongs on the WTF thread!

So, now in addition having to deal with the Confederate flag and revisionist history we got to deal with David Miscaviage and his attempts to emulate William Faulkner. Why that's just great. /s

Good for her, and hopefully her dad will follow if he hasn't already (As an aside, how amazing is it that Giovanni Ribisi has an 18 year old kid when he pretty much looks like a Gerber baby himself!) Hope the rumors of Jason Lee being out are also true. The clam connection always tainted my love for My Name is Earl. I rewatched Bowfinger last night because I noticed it was on Netflix now (and that saves me digging around for my batted VHS copy which I'm sure is still in my house somewhere) I love how thoroughly that movie slams the Clams: Terrance Stamp's character: I think you need some time in our Special Celebrity Relaxation Centre. Eddie Murphy's character: Great! Let me grab my checkbook!!

I've been listening to the "Oh No, Ross and Carrie!" podcast - they explore different religious and spiritual practices (along with exploring supernatural stuff, like ghost hunting), and right now they are doing a series on Scientology. They actually sign up for the "personality test" and then signed up for some dianetics classes. Thanks for this recommendation! I listened to all of their Scientology podcasts and have moved on to some of their other ones. I especially like how respectful they try to be to those who are involved (rank and file participants), despite their own skepticism.

So, I want to know, if a captive at this infamous camp tried to leave of his own volition, would they be shot dead? Because if not, then there is no story here, other than that they are truly captives of their own mind.When we're talking about a brainwashing cult, this is a big "other than". I was raised holy-roller/Pentecostal/you're-gonna-go-to-hell-for-everything and even though I haven't gone to a church like that for 35 years, I still have to remind myself that having a drink or kissing a man (or god-forbid both at the same time) isn't going to leaving me burning in the afterlife. I can't imagine what psychological hold the $ciencos have on their followers.

Plus, there's the fear of losing contact with loved ones who want to stay. Look at Nicole Kidman; she lost her two oldest children to escape Scientology. What a heartbreak that would be.

Of the two Ribisi twins, I've always felt Marissa was the worse of the two. She dated Jason Lee in the early 90s and I'm pretty sure she's the one who got him involved in Scientology in the first place. And of course Beck was non-practicing until he got together with her and then became a zealot.
