Comments on: Director Paul Haggis’ scathing letter resigning from Scientology (update) http://www.celebitchy.com/77159/paul_haggis_scathing_letter_resigning_from_scientology/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:53:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: gg http://www.celebitchy.com/77159/paul_haggis_scathing_letter_resigning_from_scientology/#comment-514856 gg Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:22:57 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=77159#comment-514856 I'm going to be a really picky person and say this, please forgive me. @ Firestarter - THANK YOU SO MUCH for not saying "dribble" instead of drivel. I get so tired of the widespread misuse of the English language, which is worsening very quickly (probably because of the internet). I was watching a movie last night, Almost Famous, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman actually said "dribble" for "drivel"; I was under the impression he was smarter than that. Anyhoo - L. Ron Hubbard's estranged children sure have a lot to say about their disgusting father, who more than one of which disowned him for abuse (he fed his kids barb-laced bubblegum, among other things) and his anti-gay homophobia, here is just one report: http://www.lermanet.com/scientologynews/newsherald-DeWolfe07-82.htm And most damning in light of the homophobia, is the story of Hubbard's son, Geoffrey Quentin McCaully Hubbard. Does a man's seven children disowning him because of abuse and lying count for anything to the crazy CoS? Nope. Listen to the children people, and their stories, they have EXTREMELY damning testimonies of their severly mentally ill, philandering father. I’m going to be a really picky person and say this, please forgive me.

They’re either gay and trying to hide from it or crazy and don’t want to take their meds.</i> They are anti psychiatry because good ole LRonHub had a breakdown and got told by a shrink he was unstable and delusional. He hated psychiatry because they told him stuff he didn't want to hear, and the entire psychiatry hatred/conspiracy complex is based on that. Pretty wry really, considering that most sufferers/followers really really need some counselling to get their heads straight, but will never get mental health care.

Well fine, better late than never I suppose, but forgive me if this does not make me adjust my opinions of Paul Haggis upwards more than 1 small notch on my idiotometer.

So I'm not understanding why Haggis got so bent out of shape for their support of Prop 8. Yes to gay marriage but no to gay people does not compute. Not that logic abounds within the scientological mind. . . I thought scientologists rejected homosexuality on principle.

Seriously they look like they need some crazy meds…lol ++++++++++++++++++ Because they're all in denial about whatever drew them to $cientology. Which is why so many of them are homophobic and anti-psychiatry. They're either gay and trying to hide from it or crazy and don't want to take their meds. Not saying all of them but the loudest segment seems to be. Kris:

There is no God in Scientology. As the internet continues to expose the Scientologists, they will eventually have their tax status revoked and be regulated like any business. Scientology uses mind-control techniques such as lie-detectors, interrogation, blackmail and “disconnection” (shunning of loved ones) to control its members. Scientology strips people of money and autonomy. Ruthlessly attacking all perceived enemies with its Fair Game Policy (enemies can be "tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed), Scientology intimidates witnesses into silence. Scientology is psychologically and physically abusive, as exemplified by their Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF) where Prison camps are run for "Sea Org" members in Los Angeles, Clearwater FL, Copenhagen and other sites. Scientology front groups like Narconon prey on people who have fallen through the cracks of society. Now we can add gay bashing to their crazy agenda.

White), Mormons (followers of Joseph Smith) , Christian Scientists (followers of Mary Baker Eddy), etc. etc. Christianity was a cult (followers of Christ, a hardcore ascetic and anti-materialist pacifist who claimed to be the son of God) until it got really big. Then it became a "religion". Oh, and paying 10% of your income to the church is right out of the bible. (Lev. 27:32 is just one ex.)

Scientology Corporation has an entire office full of people who surf the internet for any negative press, and are then supposed to counter it. It's sad really, they have to do it to keep their stats up. A lot of them will be so strongly in the grasp of Sc Corp that they can read this entire thread and just see it as lies by SPs (probably organised by the global psychiatrist conspiracy. If you think this sounds crazy, go read up on wiki - I'm not making it up!). But you never know, maybe some of them have their doubts, just don't know how to extract themselves. Maybe some of them will be heartened by reading about Paul Haggis. Maybe some will be a tiny step closer to finding the resolve to just leave. One can hope.
