Stars, Sci-Fi, and Scandal: The Church of Scientology

By: Brie Cadman (View Profile)

Perhaps those “free” stress tests they were offering in the subways were just another extension of their money-generating ideas. In New York, they were kicked out of the subway because they were asking for an $8 dollar “donation” for the Dianetics books; turns out they were in violation of NYC’s unlicensed vending rule.

While I don’t think Scientology is a cult, I’m wary of any movement that requires people to pay for something that is supposedly a religious teaching and anything that tries to preach the mystical with so-called science. Maybe there’s something great inside that cheesy-looking cover, but I’m not willing to pay for it.

Well, Hollywood is the land where dreams come true, turning fiction into make believe reality, or fake the appearance of it (aka: La La Land). Those movie stars really crack me up...you gotta love 'em! Most of them play out in left field, but some are really way out there deep in far left field. But in the end, they're just like you and me, they just haven't figure out one thing---on that fateful final day, you leave this world the same way you entered it... butt-naked and broke!
