Having lived and spoken a lot with a fairly high up former member of Scientology... the point of the religion is not so much the xenu shit... it is a technological pyramid scheme in which you can pay or volunteer with the church to gain more levels and more access to higher technologies. They specialize in techniques to facilitate past life remembrances, along with devices that use vibrational resonances in the body to remove disease/parasites... among a lot of other things we didn't ever get to - but yeah. It's about the technology not the beliefs.
But because the technology's fake it is therefore a part of the beliefs. Why? Because if you don't already believe in past lives (for instance) then you won't believe some random people who say they can let you relive one for enough money.

As far as LDS... I grew up in a very high morman populated area (there are streets, named after the family living on it, with 6 houses in a row.. Grandparents, Parents, Parents, Kids, Kids, Kids... ) anyway.. Their religion is crazy in its own way obviously - but I have always found them to be very respectful - Never once have I heard a morman talk poorly or condescendingly of anothers religion or beliefs. They also work very hard, are kind, and focused. While not a lot of them were close friends, because of mutual differences.. They were awesome to have around for the most part and very reliable.
They're no more crazy than any religious person. Some religious people are like these Mormons, the kind that are actually beneficial to society. They're nice to be around even if you think they're completely insane in regards to their beliefs. Because it doesn't matter how someone thinks the universe works, only how they work in the universe.

It's quasi-fake, in that they can induce experiences in those that do believe... (And isn't that the crux of almost all spiritual/religious experiences? Shit ain't going to happen without 'faith') and their vibrational technology, well it might not do what it's supposed to - but I do guarantee that running high amounts of specific frequencies of energy is going to do... well.. something

When you are a scientologist, they do 'audits' on you. Which means you sit in a room with some church members and tell the. Everything, every secret, every fantasy, everything. I mean everything, you will be in there for hours on end for multiple days. They pry and push you to keep telling them more and more.
As someone who's trying to be religious and thinks it's all a for real deal, most people spill their guts. The church records the sessions.
I'm convinced that cruse and travolta divulged their homosexuality to the church seeking some kind of 'fix' or forgiveness or whatever. The church now holds them by the balls. If they leave they will have all their secrets revealed.

Hence why it's not really technology. If it were you wouldn't have to believe in it first, you would see it regardless of what you thought about it. Almost like the Animus in Assassin's Creed.

Placebos have real effect though, so that shit can technically work just by believing in it. Pseudoscience fuckery is like tinker bell.

A placebo's effect is rarely very strong, and a past life machine would be verifiable if it actually worked. So ya, but it's more like in the Spongebob movie when Spongebob and Patrick think they're men because a mermaid put sea weed on their lips and called it a moustache.

I know this is a large gap between the dots to connect but... The church pays for their living accommodations.

metalfaith said: Well, from what the two missionaries have told me, the missions are funded by the church. Millsy, those are very interesting things to hear. The missionaries that I've been meeting with have made it fairly clear, or so I've interpreted, that you must follow the prophet and the entire church is founded on a modern-day prophet. As I understand it, he gives revelation and he is the one who decides , Or "receives a revelation from God" about the doctrine of the church. Also, they believe that after you die you will be able to become a god and have your planet and there you will forever make your own family with new Celestial children. I don't understand how they would allow gay and lesbian couples if that is one of the main doctrines of their church.
One more thing, does your girlfriend have the priesthood? I was told that women can't receive the priesthood. This again would make it impossible for lesbian couples.
You're impossible to have a level conversation with. When I met you in 2012, you didn't have a clue who you were. You were iffy about drug use but still did it once in awhile. What really freaked me out was when we were smoking herb, you implied that you thought sexual contact was on the table. I was sure as shit that it wasn't and you became extremely self conscious about that. The rest of the time we hung out you cited jesus this jesus that and you've seen this or that first hand so any argument is invalid. Holding a conversation with you was such a tedious undertaking that I was relieved and saddened about your condition at the same time. I felt horrible dropping you off in Alturas instead of taking you into burning man, but it was confirming that I did. A beautiful girl at the gate needed a ticket because she had left her's in sf. I picked up a hitch hiker in Cedarville who is the chef for our camp on the esplanade and got right into that camp with my art on the playa rather than some back street. That camp has been my home there ever since.
In other words, just walk away from this dude. He can make arguments that will drive you to insanity and then turn his nose up at you for "patronizing his beliefs".

Here's how morons make money:
They buy large quantities of stupidity at a discount and they sell it back one stupid at a time at a higher individual price.
