There you have it. Now I have a couple quick questions if you could please answer Mike.
1) If I don't agree with somthing would that mean I'm not allowed in?
2) If I don't agree with somthing or don't know about it for example, =The pyramids were built by homo sapien or alien with the use of telekenisis, does the church have any evidence for such a claim that might help me believe this?
3)How much does it cost, exactly, to join?

Here's a question for you regarding Scientology.
If what L Ron Hubbard wrote is irrefutable and must never be altered, why have there been changes made to the tech and his writings? Is this not a contradiction?
Being a suppressive meat puppet wog ant, I'm sure I'm not entitled to any answer, but your refusal to address questions you don't like says more about Scientology than you might think.

Jagmike, as I said earlier, I removed myself from this 'discussion'. Can I just ask you not to refer to me as 'the dog with the cigar'. It's Gemwolf. Really not that hard. The dog's name is Frank Btw. And I did some more homework and saw that I can't afford to be a member of scientology on my salary. Lucky me? I'll say!

Look in science...there is no soul...as of yet. There may be, but how would you feel if I said once you die your like a drop of water in the sea...your particles spread out everywhere...and you can call it reincarnation as bits of you feed earthworms, other bits make the flowers grow.
What if thats it for you? NO ONE has PROOF of life after death. sorry, all is hope and stories cause none of us can fess up and say we are scared of the potential that we will go back into nothingness which we came.
Old wise solomon...read his stuff...he said enjoy life, as afterwards you wont know a thing as you will be in the grave.
As for immortality, it may be possible, but you better figure it out before the earth worms get you.
As I posted somewhere else, even if someone were to clone you, would it be the same true essence? If you have a soul, than I guess not.
Something for us all to ponder.

So are these your personal "truths" or are these main beliefs of Scientology?

Money? This is about money? Money is the most common man made thing on earth. It's value is nothing, it's just used for trade instead of animals, etc.
I bet this is all about money for him. It's sad.
Money doesn't bring happiness. It brings you things, but eventually things get old.

I never called you an SP. From what I understand the alterations were small, and from LRH making jokes that to a bad person could be manipulated or misused. Contradiction? Yes, but people make mistakes, and people make good decisions, who am I to judge that action made by a high-level OT.

As for me responding to questions I don't like and that saying something about Scn, I am not Scientology. My name is Mike, and I speak for Mike. I am not high up in Scn. I don't make decisions for them. I am just a regular guy named Mike who isn't even clear. I won't respond to questions that are obviously slander, lies, and deceit created by these 2 1/2% of insane violent people running all over society.

See, through the beauty of comm we are getting somewhere. Most of the people on this forum have not had an opportunity to talk to a Scientologist within the church. To them, you do represent Scientology. How you behave, like it or not, reflects on Scientology simply because you are the one who brought it up and you are a member.
You're not the only Scientologist on this board, but the rest of them use a little more tact when refuting claims. It must be all the comm courses they have taken.
It's nice to know you don't consider me an SP, because I'm not. I have no problem with the tech or people that use the tech, it can be a useful set of tools. I don't like the church, but just as you are not Scientology, neither is the church. The tech is Scientology.
Being a pre-clear, it is interesting that you know about the alien origins. That is to be reserved for OT3 and higher. Did you know that according to the church, you should be dying from some deadly flu-like illness by now?
I'm curious, might I ask how long have you been involved with Scientology?

This post is a clear example of someone who suffers from megalomania and delusions of grandure...
Scientology is a criminal organization with it's members being involved from everything from racketeering to drug dealing. Many members have been criminally prosecuted hmmm I wonder why.
You know I have made a personal fortune without having the need of scientology nor have I ever scammed anyone to get where I am at finacially which is more then what I can say for you. Anyway the discussion is not about who has the most wealth and who knows how to use it. The richest people in the world are not scientologists...

The government already stormed the Church back in the day to take control of material they could use and make sure the Church wasn't against them. These are some things I would like you to think about.

As for their methods being more tactful, yeah I could say that. The thing is, I feel we don't have a lot of time left. I'm sure you see what is going on with Earth right now. I know you see that something is wrong. All the pieces of darkness are falling into place, it's just a matter of time before something terrible happens, a council is formed, and the reign of evil starts.

As to the OT3 stuff, I was never shown THOSE documents, but unfortunately I can say i've seen them on SP sites about a year ago. I didn't get sick because I didn't believe it.

I see your post has changed since I responded to you and you mentioned something I'd like to follow up on, if you don't mind.
I also want you to know I'm honestly not trying to be mean to you, I just want you to realize that the way you present yourself here is going to impact people's opinion of Scientology. If you come across as dismissive and don't address people's concerns and call them a name - because let's face it, when you call someone an SP that's what you're doing - that gives them all the ammunition they need to use against you.

I find that absolutely fascinating. If you already believe this much of what you have been told why not that part? You believe in Thetans, why not believe in the origin of the implanting? If you were to reach OT3, do you think you would be more accepting?
