Scientology crime syndicate calls this "religion"

The following has been mailed out to all 55,000 Scientology customers in the USA. Goddess only knows what they mailed out to other countries.

Can anyone on "this planet" still believe Scientology is a "religion" and Scientology Inc. a "church" after reading this?!?!?

ALERT

Dear Scientologist,

I want you to know the Golden Age of Knowledge was released and that means for the first time ever all Scientologists have the opportunity to buy all the Congresses and listen to them. That means giving yourself and your friends the chance to get all the knowledge from LRH in sequence thus adding to the knowledge you have. This alone will assist you in becoming more able then ever. I am personally listening to all of them and it has given me so many datum's I did not have and given me a more pure look at life and truth. It has really given me a drive to clear this planet even faster. I want you to have these lectures and I want you to see that every Scientologist has them as well.

Did you know that on May 12th the special ends and the 26% discount ends????

If you have not purchased your lectures do so now!

Do you want us to debit your account?

Do you want to pay by credit card?

Do you want to pay with cash?

If you already bought them, who else would you like to get a set for and how would you like to pay for that?

First Name: Last Name:

Shipping Address:

Let me know now as you do not want to miss this special as it is a huge savings and what your donations buy is even more. I want these lectures out to all and I want to do it now. So let me know.

ML, Sharron CO FSSO

That's all I need to know.

Sure lots of religions want to "clear this planet," but how many have a commanding officer hawking salvation at a 26% discount?

Does discount salvation get you into a discount heaven?
Is it like cruise lines? If you get the discount heaven, will you have to pay for your own tips?
Just curious.

LOL! Funny how these aholes never ask "this planet's" inhabitants if they WANT to be "cleared."

The $cientology "heaven" is a movie studio mock-up contructed by space aliens to brainwash "thetans" into accepting religion, and it is located on a near planet. No, I ain't making this up: Hubbard insists this is "factual" and that he has been to this heaven twice. There is a $cientology lecture series that explains this heaven and why it was built, by whom it was built, and when it was built. Hubbard said we have all been there many times, and anyone with US$360,000 can visit there with "full cognition."

A "church" with a price list and space aliens running a planet dressed up to look like heaven. And all this is tax-exempt.

I worked for a company that sold a "business opportunity" through an infomercial. We milked out every dollar we could get from our mailing list. This is very typical of direct marketing.

Really, do you really want ever Scientologist to have them?

Why would it end? Come on, it is so important. You could offer a 50% discount, you could give it away.

Well, back when the Catholic church was selling indulgences, they had an even bigger discount on them, %50 or something...
