They Have Helped Hundreds


In the Mirror today they have an article about how Amy Winehouse got a call from the "Celebrity Center" at the Church of Scientology. God, can you imagine actually talking to Amy Winehouse on the phone. That has got be a hit or miss proposition at best. Then, try and explain you are calling from a celebrity center. Speaking of which. Doesn't the Church give a rats ass that the other members of their church probably don't like knowing they don't have their own center. Where is the "everyday people" center? Anyway, it probably took ten or fifteen different calls over the span of two weeks just to explain who was calling.

I guess the Scientology people think they can help her. I think they just realized that if they can get her sober and her next album is as big as the last one and with her history of addiction she will probably substitute one of her addictions for Scientology and they can make a couple of bucks. The thing that cracked me up was in the Mirror article they talk about the Scientology rehab program helping hundreds. Hasn't this thing been around forever? And it has only helped hundreds? With as much as they exaggerate about everything else, you would think that they would take some license with that. If something has been around lets say 20 years, and has helped less than 1000 people, then how successful do you think it is?

Curious about how they help someone beat drugs?

Treatment is in three stages. First, the addict is given vitamin cocktails.

Second is a series of saunas and a “detox diet”.

Finally, they have to work their way through a series of Scientology self-help books.

Sounds expensive to me. Vitamin cocktails probably for the rest of your life 5 times a day at $20 each. Detox diet which is probably food delivered to your door. $100 day payable in advance for 30 years. Includes a free MI3 video with every order. And then finally, the books. That is probably another $200 a week. Now, this doesn't include all the time she would have to spend at the rehab center before they let her go home to continue spending money. This sounds like a pretty big commission to me for someone. Do, they do that? Commissions?

LOL!!!

Honestly, I think she is one of maybe 5 people on the planet who would be better off with Scientology than without it. She needs someone to control her brain for her.

Commissions? I bet they do...in the form of "free" sessions.

no commisions...Tommy just gets to ride on Miscavige's shoulders for awhile in a black cape pretending to L. Ron while Katie counts her pills and Suri plays Galaga with her mind.

But she's got nothing to hide, per se, so what's the point of recruiting her? Other than man's greatest downfall - money and most of hers has ended up in her blood somehow.

She used to be kind of cute.
I wonder if she didn't have so much money if they would have made their offer.

I'd have to agree with mooshki on this one. ANYTHING is better than where she's at now.

Not sure about the cost of Narconon, but if you want to see the "donation" price list of Scientology services go here: http://ocmb.xenu.net/ocmb/viewtopic.php?t=29203&sid=d4672121ee1042a551138b0a5b4ad2fc

fixed price donations so they can continue the irs scam that they are really a church.

She's helpless.

I have no hope for her.
