Emerging Scientology
Saturday July 18, 2009
Categories: Emergent Church
It seems that the "Church" of Scientology has jumped on the marketing language of the emerging church movement if their Google Ad Words campaign (on my blog feed!) is any indication.

"The results of applying their oversimplified and inapplicable rules in life is to lose the ability to think rationally and logically. A person loses the ability to think for themselves and so they lose the ability to challenge incorrect ideas."
This sounds very much like Western compulsory education systems to me! HA!
That's is what "Christians" feel like with your use of the name "The New Christians".
Dear Janie,
Have you done any IQ test on scientologists?
Have you read any Scientology book and did you really find just "a bunch of insane and dangerous nonsense"?
Are you sure that are you part of the "most intelligent and educated people"?
Let me know.
Janie is a parrot who hasn't done a shred of any kind of original research. Typical Wiki-mentality: Take their words regardless of whether its true or not, as long as it can be referenced to any kind of website...
The height of ignorance is to judge anothers faith without studing it, I leave the judgement to God, not by saying that I agree or disagree with it, but that God knows the heart.
I will not take my ques from the likes of the right wing bible thumping crowd. They gave us george bush, and I believe we are now facing God's judgement for bush's actions!
