I'm posting some of this for anyone who hasn't already heard the Xenu story. For any who don't know what Scientology is, it's basically a scam for money. They make you take a "free personality test", tell you you have a bunch of flaws that you don't really, make you feel bad, then make you pay out the arse for a bunch of classes that are supposed to get rid of these "flaws". These classes can run as much as $100 for an hour of trying to convince someone who's pretending to be a child that it's OK that they wet their pants. In actuality, it's all a bunch of idiocy. After you've taken a certain amount of these "classes", you get to learn this story, which they don't tell to beginners because it would scare them away. Without further adieu:
Iâm going to tell you a story. Are you sitting comfortably? Right, then Iâll begin.
[/i]Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack.
Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were over-populated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.
Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).
These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.
The story doesnât end there though. Since everyone has a soul (called a âthetanâ in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper).
After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called âimplantingâ.
When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.
As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today.
That is the end of the story. And so today everyone is full of these clusters of souls called âbody thetansâ. And if we are to be a free soul then we have to remove all these âbody thetansâ and pay lots of money to do so. And the only reason people believe in God and Christ was because it was in the film their body thetans saw 75 million years ago.[/i]
Well what did you think of that story?
What? You thought it was a stupid story?
Well so do we. Unfortunately this stupid story is the core belief in the religion known as Scientology.* If people knew about this story then most people would never get involved in it. This story is told to you when you reach one of their secret levels called OT III. After that you are supposed to telepathically communicate with these body thetans to make them go away. You have to pay a lot of money to get to this level and do this (or you have to work very hard for the organisation on extremely low pay for many years).
We are telling you this story as a warning. If you become involved with Scientology then we would like you to do so with your eyes open and fully aware of the sort of material it contains.
Most of the Scientologists that work in their Dianetics* centres and so called âChurchesâ of Scientology do not know this story since they are not allowed to hear it until they reach the secret âupperâ levels of Scientology. It may take them many years before they reach this level if they ever do. The ones who do know it are forced to keep it a secret and not tell it to those people who are joining Scientology.

Now you have read this you know their big secret. Donât let us put you off joining though.
Yeah, Scientologists do nothing but use scare tactics to manipulate people into believing what they believe in, and they only do it for one thing. Money.
I am so confused, are Scientologists just in this for the money, or are some of them so insane they actually believe all this? From that^, it proves my point that Scientology is a load of bunk.
i actually think half of them believe in it.(Bh) the other half are probably in it for the money.(Mh) (Bh) Are Just weirdos and the (Mh) are still weirdos becuz they probably half believ ein it anyway
By the way, there was a guy in a TV commercial, who's name is ALSO Tom Cruise (NO relation to the one who believes in scientology) who invented this device for getting around easier if you're old. He calls it the hoverround or something like that, but it sounds like "Hubbaround". It's as if ALL people named Tom Cruise have SOME link to scientology.
Is this story really any more ridiculous than other creation stories? It seems a bit silly because the story involves very modern ideas, so we can relate to it in a more direct way than early creation stories. Personally, I don't think it's that unreasonable to presume that an evil alien took over a small solar system (obviously not this one, but whatever). I had always assumed that the Scientology story was drawn from L. Ron Hubbard's books, which would really be quite a parallel to many other religions still practiced today. Is the story ridiculous? Of course! Is it any more ridiculous than other creation stories? I think not...
It's very reedikyooluss. Other creation stories you can at least read between the lines and see the metaphor written straight into the fact. The Xenu story doesn't make any sense at all, which is why they only teach it to people after they've fully hooked them in and they'll believe anything.

I like the veiw that it is much like the old stories. but "you can at least read between the lines and see the metaphor written straight into the fact."(megamickel) Any person reading the original creation stories (at that time) that was smart was expected to realize the puns and messages, while this story doesn't seem to have any. Nobody was ever supposed to mean God created Adam and Eve, just that he created human life. I also agree with Megamickel here: "they only teach it to people after they've fully hooked them in and they'll believe anything."
I actually saw a $cientology H.Q. and it was just a stinking apartment! The story could have been made by a good 10 YEAR OLD WRITER and I find the thing to be a big stinky load. I think that an all powerful thing could have ruled a galaxy but the story is about as ridiculous as worshiping Guthix, Saradomin, or Zammorak (all of which are runescape gods) this thing could have been made by some drunk bum off the streets of new york! It is very unlikely and completely DUMB that the story says people put them in THEATERS! i mean really this sounds about as beleivable as me saying.
"My wife is a tree elf and my uncle is a gnome-goblin. When I grew to age 1003 I could finnaly ride a bike I was such a toddler back then." | | To me the story is about as believable as that!
You people are attacking the story. Yes, that's part of why $cientology is messed up, but a big portion of it is their endless greed. I'd say a good portion of the higher-ups don't believe the Xenu story, but rather are in it to steal money from people by forcing them to think they need ridiculous classes. Granted, most organized religions are full of greed and corruption, but Scientology is a cult that's grown too powerful.
