(I'm bookmarking it under "travel")<br /><br />I'm a Scientologist, too, so I read this post and was kinda shaking my head.<br /><br />It's a real shame the situation with the Scientology guy was that awkward. But really, truth is the best policy. Just tell the guy that you appreciate that they care but that you're not interested in Scientology. Sure, you may have to repeat it a couple of times. And, if the guy is in any way pushy, just tell him that, tell him "look man, you're being pushy now."<br /><br />I personally never had this experience, I bought "Dianetics" at a Barnes & Noble, read half of it on a plane to South America and the rest after a hike in the Andes, loved the concept, and that was that.<br /><br />Anyway. Scientology is certainly for everyone. I personally dig it, but that's me. But at the same time, Scientology is not some strange, mysterious or dangerous thing - it's just a religious philosophy movement.<br /><br />If I can leave you with any message at all, then my message is that you don't have to be "all for it or all against it!" - you can simply find out truly what it's about without getting involved (as I have done with, for example, Bagwan Rajneesh, the LDS, Islam and other philosophies.)<br /><br />If you have any curiosity to find out what the heck Scientology is really about (without implying any interest of becoming a member) then just send me an email anytime.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />Greg<br />Scientologist and proud of it<br />http://www.liveandgrow.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26065623.post-79996788762768873702007-02-02T09:01:00.000-05:002007-02-02T09:01:00.000-05:00CRYPTCRYPTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26065623.post-59399263800568862492007-02-01T21:05:00.000-05:002007-02-01T21:05:00.000-05:00There is a video on Google Video called The Bridge...There is a video on Google Video called The Bridge. I think it's supposed to be some director's way of speaking out against Scientology. It's weird, long, and drawn-out. I learned a little about what Scientology is, though. Funnily enough, I had it playing in the background last August when I writting a term paper on the effects of HD Thoreau's Civil Disobedience on the beliefs and writings of Ghandi and MLK, Jr.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01593954363103557890noreply@blogger.com
