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.
You know, it's funny. The guy who came up with scientology was quoted as saying "The best way to make money is to start a religion". Coupla years later, he starts the statistically most expensive religion to practice. Bleh.
But, iPC, Bibles cost very little compared to the courses CoS sells to its...adherents. Also, those selling Bibles tend to do so with little regard for making money off the sales. This is espcially apparent when you compare the price of an average Bible with that of a typical "Operating Thetan-" level course. (I will have an actual order form forthcoming)
At today's prices, crossing the so-called "Bridge to Total Freedom" will cost on average about $500,000. If you ask me, that sounds rather exorbitant for something essentially spiritual.
I've seen both sides, iPC, and I am still convinced that the "Church" of Scientology is not a religion, at least one that truly cares about its followers.
For all interested, at least some of the books and tapes published by Bridge Publications (the CoS in-house publishing firm) can be found at the local library...and borrowed for free, plus the overdue fines are peanuts compared to even the "discounted" prices CoS charges. I especially recommend reading Scientology 8-8008: A History of Man, where Hubbard and ghostwriters detail their version of how we evolved.
On the other hand, xenu.net has posted a selection of works that criticize the brainchild of Lafayette Ronald Hubbard and show a less rosy picture of the man than what the "Church" paints. One was even co-authored by one of Hubbard's own children. I hope that will present some tantalizing food for thought.
I nearly forgot Operation Clambake had a few images of order forms available on site. If you doubt the authenticity of these forms, contact the webmaster. He might show you where he got them.
This is a travesty of a religeon. All religeons have their bad times (Just look at the Early Christian Church) but this is an insult to relegeon. It puts out the bad parts of religeon without the good.
Well after i read this story i was in shock to how people could believe this stuff like how xenu killed all of these people and there souls were captured and made into humans i mean i cant even believe any of it and were are these churches and are they in our country?
Oops, I ran two titles together. The book you'll want to read is actually titled: Scientology: A History of Man. This will explain how Operation Clambake got its name.
I know a scientologist, and I live on the east coast.
Did you ever notice how name (SCIENtologist) not only sounds cool but also like it has something to do with science breakthrough? Great marketing ploy...
I think I just lol'd at othe peoples misfortune. I feel bad for people now that I read that. I had no idea about Scientology at all, just that it was something to make fun of in a way.
The word "Scientology" comes from Greek and Latin: "The study of knowing." Hubbard pitched his works as being able to teach people how to learn and to know. As if we need relearn how to gain knowledge! And yes, it is a great marketing ploy...
