The NY Post has a great followup piece to the devastation that was wrought by Nightline on The Church Of Scientology last week. I know I linked to ABC yesterday and in one of the video segments you see Tommy Davis walking off the set in a huff. That was when Martin Bashir asked Tommy about the whole Xenu thing. Instead of Tommy taking the questions like a man and spinning them into something palatable he chose to get up and walk off the set. You can tell the guy is like a child. He must be the biggest a-hole in the world because he looks like one when he is trying to lie and do his PR thing and I would hate to ever have to work for him or be near him. He seems to exude evil.
Anyway, I'm guessing that perhaps Tommy got yelled at by David Miscavige or perhaps by his mother because he seems like the biggest momma's boy on the planet. He probably got yelled at for walking off the set and not spinning the Church's position. So, on Thursday night about 45 minutes before the piece is set to air, Tommy shows up at ABC headquarters in New York and asks to see Martin and the producers of the show. He wanted Thursday and Friday's segments both killed. Seriously? Did he really think they would say, "umm, you know what Tommy, that is exactly what we were thinking of doing because we would like to talk to each other and show shadow puppets for the next two episodes of our show."
Tommy was told no and hell no and then was asked by security to leave the premises. It's kind of like when Anonymous gets chased from Scientology areas but with a happy ending. Maybe Tommy will have to go work at SeaOrg for awhile for 18 hours a day and no pay and no mommy to give him hugs and kisses every night after work.
Thanks to everyone who sent me links to the various articles from around Europe which heralded the fact that in France a court there convicted the Church of fraud, but did stop just short of banning the group entirely. Oh, they will. The Church was fined almost $1M and of course the Church says it will all be thrown out on appeal. Uh huh. Good luck you a-holes.
i swear this cult is full of whiny,spoiled and explosive brats without any self control..
ReplyDeletei for one am doing a little jig as the COS comes tumbling down.
Hahahaha!! To quote my childhood hero, Bugs Bunny, "what an ultra-maroon".
ReplyDeleteAh-mazing. Their house of cards is coming tumbling down.
ReplyDeleteGood. Maybe their devotees can start getting their lives back.
Wonder what Katie will say when she escapes their clutches.

ReplyDeleteprobably the only time i'll ever say this: go france!
ReplyDeleteJax, is that poutine?
ReplyDeleteDidn't think I'd ever see Anonymous mentioned here.
Do the scis really think they come off as normal people? I understand why he left though, he isn't high enough up in the scheme to be allowed to hear about xenu.
I saw that walk-out on Nightline - the guy looked like a brat and a half. Dangerous people with too much money = trouble.
ReplyDeleteThe Church of Scientology must be recruiting on Mars cuz I can't believe anybody on earth would join this 'chuch' in this day and age, knowing what their all about. How effed up do you have to be to join this 'chuch'? And what, exactly, does one get out of it??
ReplyDeleteyes it is robert!
ReplyDeleteLOL at Pookie!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have some basic knowledge of a religion before I trash it, and I have so many unanswered questions here. I wish this sissy boy would have answered the questions about xenu and the thetans. I mean, is xenu a bad god? If so, who is/are the good god(s)? Why did xenu put those souls in volcanoes? Were they bad? Why don't $cios try to convert thetans, instead of trying to get rid of them? And why do I see the sketches of the gods from the opening sequence of "Shazam!" whenever I read about the Co$?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was wondering WTH that was in Jax's avatar pic. At first glance I thought it was a bowl of fingers with gravy in celebration of Halloween.
ReplyDeleteAbout the C0$, HA HA HAAAAAA! Gotta hand it to France--if they don't like somebody, that somebody is usually history on French soil and in French minds.

ReplyDeleteI heard Tommy has already had to do the whole swabbing floors for no money in sci boot camp for smoking pot...
ReplyDelete.robert, thank you (I hope. off to check it out!).
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteI want to hear the evidence they have for the whole Xenu story.
ReplyDeletedidn't Germany already ban $cientology?
I mean, I want to see the show (will watch from the link) to see how they asked that question about Xenu. If he can't answer such a basic question, that doesn't say much for it.
ReplyDeletefiggy, it isn't that he can't, he's not allowed to discuss that issue at all. They actually are told they'll die if they hear secret stuff before they are ready.
ReplyDeleteThe South Park episode on this cult says it all. Best ep ever.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is up with that? If this is your RELIGION, you'd want to tell people about it, wouldn't you?
ReplyDeleteImagine the Pope in an interview....
"Your Holiness, tell us about Jesus."
*Pope pitches a fit and walks out*
Seriously. Not. A. Religion.
Wonder who their next PR face will be.
ReplyDeleteHah! Majik, that was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteShazam AND Jesus in comments. I'm still laughing.
ReplyDeleteRe the celebrity church members: I think the Church of Scientology has dirt on some of these stars (like Travolta and Cruise) that they threaten to expose if those poor bastards don't toe the line. Travolta and Cruise are both closeted but I don't know what they have on Will Smith, unless it's some crazy sex tape of Smith, Pinkett and a host of dwarfs and farm animals going at it. Kirstie Alley and Jenna Elfman are just plain wierd enough to join because they actually believe.
