Scientology...The Prison of Belief HBO Documentary
Powerful HBO documentary about the Scientology "Church" airs over the next few days. I saw the first one that aired at 5 PM Pacific time today.
Powerful presentation. I always wondered what drew people to this "science" of religion. The full title is "Going Clear - Scientology and The Prison
of Belief".

Their main technology center is located on highway 79 between Hemet and Beaumont. Very impressive:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology
"Gold Base, Riverside County, California
Main article: Gold Base
The headquarters of the Religious Technology Center, the entity that oversees Scientology operations worldwide, is located in unincorporated Riverside
County, California, near Gilman Hot Springs and north of Hemet. The facility, known as Gold Base or "Int", is owned by Golden Era Productions and is
the home of Scientology's media production studio, Golden Era Studios. Several Scientology executives, including David Miscavige, live and work at the
base.[44] Therefore Gold Base is Scientology's international administrative headquarters.[45][46][47][48]
The Church of Scientology bought a former resort, which had been popular with Hollywood figures, in 1978; the resort became Gold Base.[49] The
facilities at Gold Base have been toured by journalists several times. They are surrounded by floodlights and video observation
cameras,[44][50][51][52] and the compound is protected by razor wire.[53] Gold Base also has recreational facilities, including basketball,
volleyball, and soccer facilities, an exercise building, a waterslide, a small lake with two beaches, and a golf course.[54]

Unreal. We have a member of our extended family that is heavily involved in the 'church'. I have always had a fascination about religion in general
and scientology seemed, to me at least, a laughable concept from the first time I was exposed in the mid-80's. This documentary is fascinating and
scary at the same time. Everyone should see it and then write their elected representative and request that the IRS take another look at the whole
'tax exempt' deal. What a scam. I still think Top Gun was a cool movie, though.

Yes! Its been awhile.

"My brother, a friend, and I witnessed six craft over Baja, Calif, beach in October of 1969
In 1969, my friend Steve, my brother, and myself were sent to a secret base in Mexico to live and study on an olive and avocado plantation some
fifteen miles south of Ensenada, Mexico, about half way down the Baja penninsula. We all belonged to the Church of Scientology,............"
Just keeping it real, and relevant. 
Viva Baja!

Dang. That documentary left me feeling sick to my stomach. What a scam..............There were parts of the movie that made me feel very
uncomfortable. Revoke their tax exempt status!

That's what the 'REPORT' box in the upper right-hand corner is for; Doug put it there so if you don't agree with it you can report it to management.
Oh, chit. I forgot, you ARE management.
My bad.

After a long session under the influence of Lord Neptune, I believe I'll have another beer!

By the way, David K, I DID meet you. I spent hours listening to you. You never STFU ...... once. I, and my better half walked away with two
conclusions; you were the Main Dood of Baja Nomads, and you were, and still are, 2 lbs of b.s. in a one-pound-bag. IMHO.
Nothing's changed.

Not too far removed from the catholic church, evangelicals, born agains, and generally, hypocrites claiming their faith is the true faith.
Protestants killing catholics in Belfast.
Some things aren't going to change. Like the government. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
AMF
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
