Scientology Price List 2011

By the way, I didn't see a mention of what the specific superpowers are that they're offering. Are we talking flying, super strength, and x-ray vision or something lame like "becoming more in-tune with reality?"

Unless you get the same warning clicking the link again ... Although my Anti-Virus tool gives me no warning.

Withholding this kind of thing for money seems to be in essence holding people's ability to thrive and live a fulfilling life hostage for monetary gain.

But I can see why Tom Cruise likes to do his own stunts.

I tend to doubt that Cruise believes in those superpowers himself - while it certainly would be interesting to know if [and therefore how much] he "donated" into that program. Or how much he "donated" for audits and stuff in general ...

That's a good question - and if the Wikipedia article is correct about Scientology beliefs, the superpowers are...

It looks like they're asking for money for Super Power rundowns and auditing, "when released." If I was crazy enough to buy superpowers, I'd still probably have enough sense to wait until it was actually available.

Or, would I?

For the experts: What's the difference between rundown and auditing? Why do the benefits consist so much of status titles, certificates, pins and rings?

Actually I would sue them to death if I didn't get the proposed superpowers after spending a pile of dollars.

Also, concerning "rundowns":

Any chance i can get psychokinesis and time travel a la' carte?

Though i have to say, playing Freak Legions, i have learned one thing, any superhero worthy of the name needs some kind of regeneration, or damage reduction. Maybe that is why we don't notice scientologists helping the world like the justice league. It is all well and good to be able to move a car with your mind, but if you get killed by a piece of random shrapnel, that is kind of a damper on your day.

Actually many Scientologists somehow seem to be able to focus all their superpowers into one of their arms and hands - so they can carry heavy camera equipment all day long. ;)

If you had superpowers you might not have to wait until it was actually available. Depending on the superpower, "meat vision" probably wouldn't help much.
 
Increasing body weight is a super power? Someone get me Tom Cruise on the phone, I must be like Superman to him.

Meh. A steady diet of Chips Ahoy, fluffernutter and Häagen-Dazs ought to do it.
 
Don't ruin this for me, I should have Cruise convinced I'm the reincarnation of Elron by the end of the week.
 
As much fun as it is to laugh about this, there is something seriously disturbing. I was reading it as if it was pure parody. Then I realized these people are not only serious, but insane. What sane adult could actually read that and think, "Cool. This one even comes with a super-powers t-shirt. I'm in!"

$1000 bucks for the super power t shirt, i wonder how much for the superman pants?
Click to expand...

Well, a polo shirt costs $5000. So I'd expect pants to be at least 10k.

How long is it going to take for the Elron's sheep to realize that none of them are superhuman? They must get sick like everyone else.

Well, i'm wondering if any scientologist would really cough up money for that. After all, there are few little problems with that superpower crap. For one, the Super Power Building is not finished, construction is halted for many years now. That means they have no place to actually "deliver" that stuff. Then, from what can be read on various websites about the topic, Co$ does not have any materials on how to "deliver" that stuff anyways.

Which, of course is also one of the reasons that the building will never get finished. If MiscreantMiscavige would finish that building, he would have to start to deliver the services. But they can't, because they have no materials/instructions for that anyways. It's some kind of a catch-22 situation here.

Given the fact that scientologists are squeezed for money all the time to finish that building, but it never gets finished at all, i'm really wondering if they can be squeezed a bit more to actually pay for such programs. Which, again, depend on that building being finished. Which, also again, depends on having actual material/instructions on how to deliver it. Which, .... Well, you get it, i think.

Greetings,

Chris

If you can convince the Scumology hierarchy, you will have a nicely kept office in its "churches" all over the World just waiting for your return.

From this source:

"I have known many Scientologists and Sea Org members who died from cancer. The common denominator among them is that they did not seek medical assistance rapidly, when they first noticed something wrong. The overwhelming belief among Scientologists and Sea Org members was to get audited or continue on with auditing (if they were already receiving auditing) with the conviction that auditing would resolve the cancer."

For real? I heard that there is a mansion called "Bonnie View" at their Gold Base reserved for his return - but I did not know that every Church has a room for that purpose as well.

Also: Who audited Hubbard? [for free, I guess] :rolleyes:
 
:dl:



also, I have to keep wondering what the superpower building is for and what use the lounges have. For a donation of a gazillion dollars I get access to the super-idiot-of the-year-executive-extra-bonus-lounge with free cookies ... and then what? Do I just sit there? Do I wait for something to happen? (Why would someone who can travel time ever have to wait for anything?)

And why of why do the super-extra-idiots not at least get their own special t-shirt? Make it an extra color or something!

According to the scary Wikipedia article: :boxedin:

The purpose of the Super Power Building has been stated (see below) as being to provide a dedicated center for delivering the Super Power Rundown. [SNIP]The Super Power Rundown was described by [SNIP] L. Ron Hubbard, as:
"A super fantastic, but confidential series of rundowns that can be done on anybody whether Dn [Dianetics] Clear or not that puts the person into fantastic shape unleashing Super Power of a thetan. This means that puts Scientologists into a new realm of ability enabling them to create a new world... [SNIP] "
​
According to the Church of Scientology, the building will contain specially developed equipment which "expand on technology developed by NASA to train astronauts". [SNIP] These machines will include such things as an antigravity simulator, a gyroscope-like apparatus that spins a person around while blindfolded to improve perception of compass direction, and a video screen that moves forward and backward while flashing images to hone a viewer's ability to identify subliminal messages.[7] [SNIP]

A fundraising letter sent to Scientologists in March 2002 described the purpose of the project:
With the world in such a state of degradation and dismay, the only hope to reverse the dwindling spiral on Earth is to speed the release of Super Power.
​
As you know, the 12 Rundowns of Super Power were designed to handle the barriers to this planet's Clearing. By releasing this technology, we will unleash the Super Power of every being who completes these rundowns and they will built the New Civilization so vitally needed.
​
The rapid completion of the funding and construction of the new building, guarantees this Cleared Earth... [SNIP]

I had to ask, didn't I?

But yes, I see that a facility like that would require several different levels of lounges. After all, if you burned so many more millions than someone else you can hardly be expected to sit and wait with the cheapskates to be given your super powers, right?
