this is what they want, general acceptance of their socalled 'religion'.
Like I heard baack in the early 80's, yeah, we're trying to get LRH mentioned in the Encyclopaedia Britannica ......so but 10 copies of it.

Next thing you know he'll be iin the Guiness Book of Records for the fattest lips or 'Youngest boy scout ever to be accepted..bla..bla..."

I think there should be a reminder to him, just like there is to the Holocaust

Why are there no protests going on in Spain anyway?

[Telepathetic]

It's just those fucking Spaniards trying to add another holiday to their calendar. I am sure that there will probably be lots of Spanish Scilon converts on that date.:D:D

Slappy is Pleased.



Are there Scientologists in Spains parlement ?

It's ironic that a man who denigrated all the world's major religions, and founded a criminal empire that hid behind a cloak of religiosity, should be remembered in this way. It's like making Al Capone a saint.
